metaphorical_a gland_n which_o be_v make_v up_o of_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o vessel_n can_v be_v discern_v by_o microscope_n this_o be_v all_o that_o the_o doctor_n allege_v against_o my_o book_n the_o remain_a part_n of_o his_o sheet_n be_v either_o enlargement_n upon_o the_o wonderful_a stock_n of_o philosophy_n but_o just_a now_o mention_v or_o a_o vindication_n of_o his_o own_o book_n as_o to_o the_o first_o he_o tell_v i_o i_o no_o where_o prove_v animal_n spirit_n to_o be_v a_o oily_a mucilage_n and_o he_o ask_v i_o whether_o i_o ever_o see_v it_o or_o taste_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o have_v both_o see_v and_o taste_v it_o and_o have_v already_o prove_v the_o animal_n spirit_n to_o be_v a_o oily_a mucilage_n in_o my_o book_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n thither_o it_o not_o be_v requisite_a that_o i_o shall_v trouble_v myself_o to_o repeat_v what_o be_v there_o say_v as_o often_o as_o dr._n leigh_n shall_v ask_v the_o question_n afresh_o and_o since_o he_o here_o say_v their_o agility_n in_o voluntary_a motion_n demonstrate_v that_o they_o do_v not_o move_v slow_a than_o blood_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v no_o demonstration_n for_o though_o the_o spirit_n move_v slow_o in_o the_o nerve_n yet_o when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o blood_n and_o meet_v with_o particle_n which_o be_v of_o a_o different_a temper_n and_o texture_n they_o may_v then_o become_v active_a and_o many_o degree_n more_o active_a than_o before_o so_o the_o particle_n of_o alkaly_n and_o acid_n when_o keep_v separate_v in_o distinct_a vessel_n have_v not_o half_a the_o agility_n and_o activity_n in_o their_o part_n as_o when_o mix_v together_o the_o result_n of_o their_o mixture_n if_o volatile_a be_v a_o strong_a fermentation_n which_o be_v in_o neither_o of_o the_o separate_a liquor_n and_o although_o '_o gunpowder_n be_v slow_o squeeze_v through_o a_o long_a pipe_n and_o out_o of_o that_o fall_v upon_o the_o fire_n yet_o it_o be_v explosion_n when_o work_v upon_o by_o so_o powerful_a a_o agent_n be_v no_o argument_n that_o the_o corpuscle_n of_o the_o gunpowder_n be_v in_o as_o violent_a a_o motion_n before_o the_o explosion_n since_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o that_o the_o spirit_n may_v move_v slow_o in_o the_o nerve_n when_o keep_v separate_v from_o the_o blood_n yet_o be_v put_v into_o a_o more_o violent_a agitation_n when_o mix_v with_o it_o that_o agitation_n be_v no_o argument_n of_o their_o equal_a agility_n before_o but_o a_o consequence_n of_o their_o mixture_n but_o to_o proceed_v to_o his_o other_o objection_n viz._n that_o the_o metapborical_a gland_n can_v be_v see_v with_o a_o microscope_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o by_o metaphorical_a gland_n i_o mean_v nothing_o but_o a_o commixture_n of_o the_o extremity_n of_o vessel_n metaphorical_a gland_n imply_v no_o more_o which_o appear_v from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o my_o book_n of_o muscular_a motion_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n it_o not_o be_v necessary_a to_o repeat_v what_o be_v there_o though_o dr._n leigh_n shall_v for_o information_n sake_n ask_v the_o question_n again_o and_o again_o but_o that_o what_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v such_o gland_n i_o presume_v undeniable_a till_o what_o i_o have_v offer_v with_o submission_n to_o reason_n be_v confute_v by_o it_o and_o than_o if_o i_o can_v maintain_v it_o let_v it_o fall_v it_o be_v knowledge_n and_o truth_n i_o shall_v ever_o value_v above_o my_o own_o opinion_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o if_o it_o be_v i_o shall_v value_v it_o as_o truth_n and_o only_o content_v myself_o with_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o contribute_v my_o endeavour_n to_o the_o general_n stock_n of_o knowledge_n but_o to_o satisfy_v the_o world_n that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o disbelieve_v what_o i_o have_v say_v of_o those_o gland_n because_o we_o can_v see_v they_o i_o shall_v add_v a_o quotation_n from_o the_o honourable_a esquire_n boyle_n work_n which_o will_v show_v he_o that_o there_o be_v several_a truth_n in_o nature_n which_o we_o believe_v because_o we_o have_v reason_n for_o it_o though_o as_o to_o sight_n they_o be_v imperceivable_a for_o that_o most_o ingenious_a and_o experimental_a promoter_n of_o useful_a knowledge_n who_o be_v a_o profound_a and_o one_o of_o the_o great_a of_o philosopher_n in_o his_o history_n of_o fludity_n page_n 189._o sect._n xx._n admit_v of_o reason_n to_o be_v proof_n where_o the_o minuteness_n of_o body_n render_v they_o imperceivable_a for_o he_o say_v if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o various_a and_o insensible_a part_n of_o water_n and_o resemble_v body_n wherein_o we_o make_v the_o nature_n of_o fluidity_n chief_o to_o consist_v be_v but_o a_o imaginary_a thing_n and_o but_o precarious_o assert_v since_o by_o our_o own_o confession_n they_o be_v so_o small_a that_o the_o particle_n themselves_o and_o more_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o motion_n be_v imperceptable_a by_o sense_n etc._n etc._n we_o shall_v not_o deny_v the_o objection_n to_o be_v plausible_a but_o must_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v unanswerable_a and_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v for_o those_o gland_n for_o if_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v there_o be_v such_o we_o be_v not_o to_o deny_v what_o our_o reason_n tell_v we_o because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o object_n of_o sight_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o smallness_n of_o those_o gland_n that_o make_v they_o to_o be_v imperceiptible_a by_o sight_n be_v evident_a since_o the_o best_a microscope_n will_v not_o make_v the_o termination_n of_o those_o vessel_n visible_a which_o compose_v they_o yet_o i_o hope_v no_o body_n will_v say_v that_o the_o vessel_n have_v no_o end_n because_o they_o can_v see_v they_o if_o then_o we_o allow_v what_o be_v beyond_o contradiction_n viz._n that_o the_o termination_n of_o the_o vessel_n can_v be_v perceive_v we_o must_v allow_v that_o these_o gland_n must_v be_v invisible_a because_o make_v up_o of_o those_o vessel_n which_o be_v too_o fine_a to_o be_v perceive_v and_o that_o those_o vessel_n do_v communicate_v with_o one_o another_o and_o consequent_o make_v up_o such_o gland_n i_o have_v give_v such_o reason_n in_o my_o book_n and_o also_o lay_v down_o such_o experiment_n that_o i_o need_v not_o to_o bring_v any_o more_o till_o those_o be_v deficient_a have_v answer_v all_o the_o doctor_n objection_n against_o my_o book_n i_o shall_v consider_v what_o he_o say_v for_o himself_o and_o first_o to_o pass_v by_o all_o that_o heap_n of_o loud_a sound_a word_n which_o be_v vulgar_o call_v bombast_n or_o sound_v without_o signification_n i_o shall_v brief_o take_v notice_n that_o though_o i_o quote_v doctor_n willis_n and_o show_v he_o that_o his_o notion_n of_o heat_n be_v the_o same_o with_o it_o as_o also_o that_o doctor_n willis_n have_v the_o same_o notion_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o intermit_a fever_n and_o though_o i_o show_v he_o that_o in_o dropsy_n he_o mistake_v the_o effect_n for_o the_o cause_n and_o that_o in_o his_o dissertation_n of_o mineral_n water_n he_o only_o prove_v what_o no_o body_n deny_v he_o think_v it_o a_o answer_v sufficient_a to_o deny_v what_o be_v evident_o true_a and_o matter_n of_o fact_n for_o he_o say_v he_o do_v not_o borrow_v his_o notion_n from_o dr._n willis_n neither_o do_v i_o say_v so_o but_o he_o act_v the_o plagiary_n to_o use_v his_o own_o word_n or_o he_o steal_v they_o from_o he_o for_o those_o word_n he_o make_v use_v on_o himself_o but_o he_o say_v dr._n willis_n assign_v fermentation_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o heat_n and_o that_o he_o assign_v collision_n but_o any_o body_n that_o know_v the_o least_o of_o the_o corpuscularian_a philosophy_n will_v not_o think_v to_o come_v off_o with_o such_o mean_a evasion_n since_o fermentation_n imply_v collision_n and_o collision_n which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o motion_n where_o it_o be_v violent_a enough_o be_v but_o call_v fermentation_n by_o another_o name_n since_o fermentation_n and_o collision_n of_o the_o part_n of_o hot_a body_n be_v significative_o the_o same_o though_o different_a sound_n again_o he_o say_v he_o do_v not_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v a_o acid_n in_o vitriolated_a water_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o perfect_a concoct_v vitriol_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v he_o do_v not_o argue_v for_o a_o acid_n but_o for_o a_o perfect_a acid_n since_o vitriol_n be_v a_o acid_n so_o that_o to_o prove_v vitriolate_a water_n have_v vitriol_n in_o they_o be_v to_o prove_v acid_n water_n have_v acid_n in_o they_o which_o i_o suppose_v none_o deny_v but_o let_v the_o doctor_n dispute_v the_o case_n it_o be_v a_o fine_a easy_a subject_n for_o he_o he_o may_v tell_v his_o
