in_o child_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o parent_n than_o in_o other_o man_n for_o which_o several_a reason_n may_v be_v give_v and_o the_o first_o be_v because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o blood_n

manner_n as_o to_o render_v they_o capable_a of_o the_o same_o sentiment_n with_o themselves_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o child_n have_v very_o little_a familiarity_n with_o other_o man_n who_o may_v sometime_o else_o impress_v other_o trace_n in_o their_o brain_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n frustrate_v the_o continual_a effort_n of_o paternal_a impression_n for_o as_o a_o man_n that_o never_o stir_v out_o of_o his_o own_o country_n usual_o imagine_v the_o manner_n and_o custom_n of_o foreign_a nation_n to_o be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o reason_n so_o a_o child_n that_o

of_o all_o the_o other_o error_n of_o our_o sense_n the_o first_o be_v the_o action_n of_o the_o object_n that_o be_v in_o heat_n for_o example_n the_o impulsion_n or_o agitation_n of_o the_o

cause_v by_o that_o of_o the_o particle_n of_o fire_n which_o agitation_n be_v communicate_v to_o the_o brain_n because_o otherwise_o the_o soul_n will_v perceive_v nothing_o the_o three_o be_v the_o passion_n sensation_n or_o perception_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v what_o every_o one_o feel_v who_o be_v near_o the_o fire_n the_o four_o be_v the_o judgement_n that_o the_o soul_n make_v
the_o chief_a fibre_n of_o all_o the_o muscle_n which_o be_v the_o heart_n that_o they_o encompass_v its_o orifice_n auricles_n and_o artery_n that_o they_o spread_v themselves_o even_o in_o the_o

fibre_n of_o the_o heart_n cause_v it_o somerime_n to_o extend_v and_o then_o again_o to_o contract_v with_o too_o much_o force_n and_o precipitancy_n push_v with_o much_o violence_n a_o great_a quantity_n of_o blood_n towards_o the_o head_n and_o all_o the_o external_a part_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o sometime_o these_o nerve_n produce_v a_o effect_n direct_o contrary_a and_o the_o nerve_n which_o encompass_v the_o orifice_n auricles_n and_o artery_n of_o the_o heart_n cause_n very_o near_o the_o same_o effect_n with_o those_o spiracle_n or_o breathe_v holes_n with_o which_o the_o

likewise_o impede_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n through_o the_o venous_a artery_n into_o the_o arterious_a vein_n and_o so_o into_o the_o heart_n thus_o these_o nerve_n according_a to_o their_o different_a agitation_n still_o augment_v and_o diminish_v the_o heat_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o all_o our_o passion_n we_o have_v very_o sensible_a experiment_n of_o these_o different_a

the_o part_n of_o our_o body_n and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_n excite_v our_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v explain_v in_o the_o first_o book_n so_o almost_o all_o our_o philosopher_n have_v imagine_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o principal_a seat_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v still_o the_o most_o common_o receive_v opinion_n now_o because_o the_o faculty_n of_o imagine_v
