be_v manifest_a that_o the_o live_a creature_n be_v make_v of_o this_o superfluous_a moisture_n of_o the_o parent_n which_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o be_v compound_v of_o several_a

it_o receive_v only_o from_o all_o similiar_a and_o great_a part_n the_o former_a seem_v impossible_a for_o how_o can_v one_o imagine_v that_o such_o juice_n shall_v circulate_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o animal_n and_o visit_v every_o atom_n of_o it_o and_o retire_v to_o the_o reserve_v where_o it_o be_v keep_v for_o generation_n and_o no_o part_n of_o it_o remain_v absolute_o behind_o stick_v to_o the_o flesh_n or_o bone_n that_o it_o bedew_v but_o that_o still_o some_o part_n return_v back_o from_o every_o part_n of_o the_o animal_n beside_o consider_v those_o part_n that_o be_v most_o remote_a from_o the_o channel_n which_o convey_v this_o juice_n how_o when_o they_o be_v full_a of_o nourishment_n than_o they_o need_v the_o juice_n which_o overflow_v from_o they_o come_v to_o the_o next_o part_n and_o settle_v there_o and_o serve_v it_o for_o its_o due_a nourishment_n drive_v back_o into_o the_o channel_n that_o which_o be_v betwixt_o the_o channel_n and_o itself_o so_o that_o here_o there_o be_v no_o return_n at_o all_o from_o some_o of_o the_o remote_a part_n and_o much_o of_o that_o juice_n which_o be_v reject_v never_o go_v far_o from_o the_o channel_n itself_o we_o may_v therefore_o safe_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a every_o little_a part_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n shall_v remit_v something_o impregnate_v and_o imbue_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o but_o than_o you_o may_v peradventure_o say_v that_o every_o similiar_a part_n do_v if_o so_o i_o will_v ask_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o by_o fermentation_n only_o every_o

the_o nature_n of_o flesh_n here_o become_v broad_a there_o round_o and_o take_v just_a the_o figure_n of_o the_o part_n it_o be_v to_o cover_v how_o shall_v a_o bone_n here_o be_v hollow_a there_o

how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o in_o the_o collection_n the_o due_a proportion_n of_o nature_n be_v so_o punctual_o observe_v shall_v we_o say_v that_o this_o be_v do_v by_o some_o cunning_a

all_o this_o diversity_n of_o work_n be_v to_o be_v do_v at_o one_o time_n and_o in_o the_o same_o occasion_n which_o can_v no_o more_o be_v effect_v by_o one_o agent_n than_o multiplicity_n can_v

creature_n may_v be_v make_v without_o any_o such_o gather_n of_o part_n beforehand_o from_o another_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n for_o else_o how_o can_v vermin_n breed_v out_o of_o live_a body_n or_o

man_n be_v nourish_v continual_o with_o such_o meat_n and_o greedy_o affect_v it_o which_o another_o have_v aversion_n from_o there_o will_v natural_o follow_v much_o dislike_n between_o they_o unless_o some_o superior_a regard_n shall_v master_v this_o aversion_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o i_o remember_v to_o have_v see_v two_o notable_a example_n of_o it_o one_o in_o spain_n of_o a_o

most_o savoury_a of_o all_o other_o and_o the_o like_a i_o know_v in_o england_n between_o two_o whereof_o one_o extreme_o love_a cheese_n and_o the_o other_o as_o much_o hate_v it_o and_o will_v

little_a of_o what_o the_o other_o will_v have_v quit_v all_o meat_n else_o to_o live_v upon_o and_o not_o only_o such_o aversion_n as_o spring_v from_o difference_n of_o complexion_n in_o the_o

of_o a_o froward_a and_o angry_a nature_n and_o the_o same_o one_o may_v observe_v among_o dog_n and_o peradventure_o a_o man_n fantasy_n may_v be_v raise_v to_o such_o a_o height_n of_o fury_n that_o the_o fierce_a beast_n may_v be_v afraid_a to_o look_v on_o he_o and_o can_v endure_v that_o those_o master_a spirit_n which_o stream_n out_o of_o the_o man_n eye_n shall_v come_v into_o he_o so_o much_o they_o distemper_v his_o fantasy_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v turn_v away_o from_o the_o man_n and_o avoid_v he_o which_o discourse_n may_v be_v confirm_v by_o sundry_a example_n of_o lion_n
