be_v examine_v the_o one_o that_o place_n of_o the_o spinall_n marrow_n where_o anatomist_n conceive_v there_o be_v the_o near_a concourse_n of_o all_o the_o nerve_n of_o the_o body_n the_o other_o the_o animal_n spirit_n in_o the_o four_o ventricle_n of_o the_o brain_n as_o for_o the_o former_a viz._n that_o part_n of_o the_o spinall_n marrow_n where_o the_o concourse_n of_o the_o nerve_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v as_o i_o have_v answer_v in_o like_a case_n so_o i_o say_v again_o that_o beside_o that_o i_o have_v already_o demonstrate_v that_o matter_n be_v uncapable_a of_o sense_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o modification_n thereof_o in_o the_o spinall_n marrow_n that_o will_v make_v it_o more_o likely_a to_o be_v endue_v with_o that_o faculty_n than_o the_o pith_n of_o elder_a or_o a_o mess_n of_o curd_n we_o be_v also_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v utter_o inept_v for_o motion_n nor_o be_v it_o conceivable_a how_o that_o part_n of_o it_o or_o any_o other_o that_o be_v assign_v to_o this_o office_n of_o be_v the_o common_a percipient_a in_o we_o of_o all_o thought_n and_o object_n which_o must_v also_o have_v the_o power_n of_o move_v our_o member_n can_v have_v so_o little_a agitation_n in_o itself_o as_o appear_v nothing_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o soft_a pap_n or_o pulp_n so_o nimble_o and_o strong_o move_v the_o part_n of_o our_o body_n 2._o in_o this_o regard_n the_o animal_n spirit_n seem_v much_o more_o likely_a to_o perform_v that_o office_n and_o those_o the_o importunity_n of_o who_o gross_a fancy_n constrain_v they_o to_o make_v the_o soul_n corporeal_a do_v nevertheless_o usual_o pitch_v upon_o some_o subtle_a thin_a matter_n to_o constitute_v her_o nature_n or_o essence_n and_o therefore_o they_o imagine_v she_o to_o be_v either_o air_n fire_n light_n or_o some_o such_o like_a body_n with_o which_o the_o animal_n spirit_n have_v no_o small_a affinity_n 3._o but_o this_o opinion_n though_o it_o may_v seem_v plausible_a at_o first_o sight_n yet_o the_o difficulty_n it_o be_v involve_v in_o be_v insuperable_a for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o all_o the_o argument_n that_o be_v bring_v chap._n 2._o sect._n 3._o will_n recur_v with_o full_a force_n in_o this_o place_n for_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n that_o be_v so_o perfect_o liquid_a as_o the_o animal_n spirit_n but_o consist_v of_o particle_n only_o contiguous_a one_o to_o another_o and_o actual_o upon_o motion_n play_v and_o turn_v one_o by_o another_o as_o busy_a as_o atom_n in_o the_o sun_n now_o therefore_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o that_o treasury_n of_o pure_a animal_n spirit_n contain_v in_o the_o four_o ventricle_n be_v able_a to_o sustain_v so_o noble_a a_o office_n as_o to_o be_v the_o common_a percipient_a in_o our_o body_n which_o as_o i_o have_v often_o repeat_v be_v so_o complex_fw-la a_o function_n that_o it_o do_v not_o only_o contain_v the_o perception_n of_o external_a object_n but_o motion_n imagination_n reason_n and_o memory_n 4._o now_o at_o the_o very_a first_o dash_n the_o transmission_n of_o the_o image_n of_o the_o object_n
may_v easy_o abstain_v from_o wink_v but_o if_o fear_v surprise_v he_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o action_n and_o not_o the_o mere_a mechanism_n of_o the_o body_n wherefore_o this_o be_v no_o proof_n that_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o passion_n with_o their_o consequence_n may_v be_v salve_v in_o brute_n beast_n by_o pure_a mechanic_n and_o therefore_o neither_o in_o man_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o arise_v in_o we_o against_o both_o our_o will_n and_o appetite_n for_o who_o will_v bear_v the_o torture_n of_o fear_n and_o jealousy_n if_o he_o can_v avoid_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o soul_n send_v not_o nor_o determine_v the_o spirit_n thus_o to_o her_o own_o torture_n as_o she_o reside_v in_o the_o head_n whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o she_o as_o she_o reside_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o stomach_n which_o sympathize_v with_o the_o horrid_a representation_n in_o the_o common_a sensorium_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o exquisite_a unity_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o herself_o &_o of_o the_o continuity_n of_o spirit_n in_o the_o body_n the_o necessary_a instrument_n of_o all_o her_o function_n and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n the_o heart_n &_o stomach_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o affect_v they_o be_v the_o chief_a seat_n of_o those_o faculty_n that_o maintain_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n the_o danger_n whereof_o be_v the_o most_o eminent_a object_n of_o fear_n in_o any_o animal_n 7._o from_o this_o principle_n i_o conceive_v that_o not_o only_o the_o sympathy_n of_o part_n in_o one_o particular_a subject_n but_o of_o different_a and_o distant_a subject_n may_v be_v understand_v such_o as_o be_v betwixt_o the_o party_n wound_v and_o the_o knife_n or_o sword_n that_o wound_v he_o besmear_v with_o the_o

to_o be_v resolve_v into_o mere_a matter_n of_o what_o thinness_n or_o subtlety_n soever_o you_o please_v but_o into_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o continuity_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n which_o answer_v to_o our_o animal_n spirit_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o plotinus_n say_v that_o the_o world_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o grand_a magus_n or_o enchanter_n and_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o that_o upon_o this_o score_n mere_o without_o the_o association_n of_o any_o familiar_a spirit_n several_a odd_a thing_n may_v be_v do_v for_o evil_a as_o well_o as_o good_a for_o this_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n have_v faculty_n that_o work_v not_o by_o election_n but_o fatal_o or_o natural_o as_o several_a gamaitus_fw-la we_o

clear_a discovery_n that_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o confine_v to_o any_o one_o part_n of_o the_o head_n but_o possess_v the_o whole_a body_n from_o the_o perception_n of_o pain_n in_o the_o part_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v plain_o impossible_a that_o so_o high_a a_o torture_n as_o be_v feel_v but_o in_o the_o prick_n of_o a_o pin_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o the_o centre_n of_o perception_n upon_o a_o mere_a mechanical_a account_n for_o whether_o the_o immediate_a instrument_n of_o sense_n be_v the_o pith_n of_o the_o nerve_n as_o des-cartes_n will_v have_v it_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n as_o be_v most_o true_a it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o think_v that_o by_o the_o forcible_a part_n of_o what_o be_v join_v together_o at_o ease_n when_o this_o case_n be_v not_o communicate_v to_o either_o the_o spirit_n or_o pith_n of_o the_o nerve_n from_o the_o place_n of_o the_o puncture_n to_o the_o very_a seat_n of_o common_a sense_n that_o the_o soul_n there_o seat_v shall_v feel_v so_o smart_a a_o torment_n unless_o that_o her_o very_a essence_n do_v reach_v to_o the_o part_n where_o the_o pain_n be_v feel_v to_o be_v for_o then_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o be_v the_o unity_n of_o soul_n possess_v the_o whole_a body_n and_o the_o continuity_n of_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o and_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o continuation_n and_o natural_a composure_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v rest_n and_o ease_n to_o the_o soul_n that_o a_o violent_a disjoyn_v and_o bruise_v of_o they_o and_o bearing_n the_o soul_n of_o they_o as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v shall_v cause_v a_o very_a harsh_a and_o torturous_a sense_n in_o the_o centre_n of_o perception_n this_o argument_n bear_v undeniable_a evidence_n with_o it_o if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v the_o fuzziness_n of_o the_o pith_n of_o the_o nerve_n and_o the_o fluidity_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o what_o little_a stress_n or_o crowd_v so_o small_a a_o thing_n as_o

of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o organ_n be_v sufficient_a cause_n of_o sensation_n 2._o a_o brief_a declaration_n how_o sensation_n be_v make_v 3._o how_o imagination_n 4._o of_o reason_n and_o memory_n and_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o mark_n in_o the_o brain_n 5._o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o immediate_a instrument_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o memory_n also_o and_o how_o memory_n arise_v 6._o

essential_o reach_v all_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o body_n it_o will_v be_v more_o easy_a to_o determine_v the_o nature_n of_o sensation_n and_o other_o operation_n we_o mention_v for_o we_o have_v
