a_o muscle_n it_o must_v needs_o swell_v up_o and_o produce_v in_o that_o part_n a_o convulsive_a motion_n if_o that_o motion_n may_v easy_o be_v resist_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o nerve_n

happen_v that_o those_o humour_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o convulsion_n since_o they_o may_v determine_v the_o course_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o some_o certain_a muscle_n by_o open_v some_o

the_o thread_n of_o the_o rope_n shorten_v it_o by_o dilate_v it_o so_o the_o pierce_a and_o pungent_a humour_n insinuate_v into_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o nerve_n contract_v they_o stretch_v the_o part_n to_o which_o they_o be_v tie_v and_o produce_v in_o the_o body_n convulsive_a motion_n that_o be_v extreme_o slow_a violent_a and_o painful_a and_o and_o often_o leave_v the_o part_n sad_o distort_v for_o a_o long_a time_n as_o to_o the_o convulsive_a motion_n that_o be_v very_o swift_a they_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o those_o spirit_n shall_v receive_v any_o fermentation_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o the_o conduit_n through_o which_o they_o pass_v be_v more_o open_a at_o one_o side_n than_o at_o the_o other_o when_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v in_o their_o natural_a situation_n the_o animal_n spirit_n diffuse_v themselves_o equal_o and_o ready_o through_o they_o according_a to_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o

the_o trace_n that_o produce_v they_o even_o when_o the_o habit_n be_v whole_o form_v those_o that_o look_v careful_o to_o themselves_o find_v little_a difficulty_n in_o prevent_v grimaces_n unbecoming_a gesture_n and_o a_o sourish_n countenance_n though_o their_o body_n have_v a_o disposition_n to_o they_o and_o may_v even_o conquer_v they_o when_o strengthen_v by_o habit_n but_o with_o

be_v stop_v up_o the_o cause_n of_o those_o motion_n be_v often_o in_o the_o agitate_a muscle_n and_o proceed_v from_o some_o pungent_a humour_n or_o ferment_a spirit_n but_o we_o must_v judge_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o brain_n especial_o when_o the_o convulsion_n agitate_v not_o one_o or_o two_o part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o most_o or_o all_o and_o withal_o in_o several_a disease_n which_o alter_v the_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n it_o be_v true_a that_o one_o nerve_n often_o have_v different_a branch_n which_o disperse_v through_o part_n of_o the_o body_n very_o remote_a as_o into_o the_o face_n and_o bowel_n it_o sometime_o happen_v that_o a_o convulsion_n the_o cause_n of_o which_o lie_v in_o a_o part_n to_o which_o some_o one_o of_o

spirit_n but_o when_o the_o convulsive_a motion_n be_v common_a to_o most_o part_n of_o the_o body_n we_o must_v needs_o say_v either_o that_o the_o spirit_n ferment_n in_o a_o very_a extraordinary_a
