fill_v and_o on_o the_o tongue_n they_o sit_v as_o flower_n sweet_a suck_v their_o honey_n from_o delicious_a meat_n then_o to_o the_o nose_n like_o bird_n they_o fly_v there_o pick_v up_o sweet_a perfume_n in_o stead_n of_o spice_n stick_v of_o which_o within_o the_o brain_n they_o build_v a_o nest_n to_o which_o delight_n or_o else_o to_o take_v their_o rest_n but_o in_o the_o porous_a skin_n they_o spread_v as_o sheep_n and_o feed_v cattle_n which_o in_o meadow_n keep_v of_o motion_n and_o matter_n why_o may_v not_o vegetable_n have_v light_n sound_v taste_n touch_v as_o well_o as_o animal_n if_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o motion_n move_v the_o same_o kind_n of_o matter_n in_o they_o for_o who_o know_v but_o the_o sap_n in_o vegetable_n may_v be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n and_o degree_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o why_o may_v not_o all_o the_o sense_n be_v inherent_a in_o a_o figure_n if_o the_o same_o motion_n move_v the_o same_o matter_n within_o the_o figure_n as_o such_o motion_n without_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o brain_n the_o brain_n in_o animal_n be_v like_o cloud_n which_o be_v sometime_o swell_v full_a with_o vapour_n and_o sometime_o rarefy_v with_o heat_n and_o move_v by_o the_o sensitive_a spirit_n to_o several_a object_n as_o the_o cloud_n be_v move_v by_o the_o wind_n to_o several_a place_n the_o wind_n seem_v to_o be_v all_o spirit_n because_o they_o be_v so_o agile_a and_o quick_a of_o darkness_n to_o prove_v that_o darkness_n have_v particular_a motion_n which_o make_v it_o as_o well_o as_o motion_n make_v light_n be_v that_o when_o some_o have_v use_v to_o have_v a_o light_n by_o they_o while_o they_o sleep_v will_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o light_n go_v out_o awake_v for_o it_o darkness_n have_v no_o motion_n it_o will_v not_o strike_v upon_o the_o optic_a nerve_n but_o as_o a_o equal_a motion_n make_v light_a and_o a_o perturb_a motion_n make_v colour_n which_o be_v between_o light_n and_o darkness_n so_o darkness_n be_v a_o opposite_a motion_n to_o those_o motion_n that_o make_v light_a for_o though_o light_n be_v a_o equal_a motion_n yet_o it_o be_v such_o a_o kind_n or_o sort_n of_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n why_o may_v not_o the_o sun_n be_v of_o a_o high_a extract_n than_o the_o rational_a spirit_n and_o be_v like_o glass_n which_o be_v a_o high_a extract_n in_o chemistry_n and_o so_o become_v a_o (†)_o glass_n shine_a body_n if_o so_o sure_o it_o have_v a_o great_a knowledge_n for_o the_o sun_n seem_v to_o be_v compose_v of_o pure_a spirit_n without_o the_o mixture_n of_o dull_a matter_n for_o the_o motion_n be_v quick_a and_o subtle_a as_o we_o may_v find_v by_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o light_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o cloud_n the_o cloud_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o such_o spongy_a and_o porous_a matter_n as_o the_o rain_n and_o air_n like_o the_o sensitive_a spirit_n that_o form_n and_o move_v it_o and_o the_o sun_n the_o rational_a spirit_n to_o give_v they_o knowledge_n and_o as_o moist_a vapour_n from_o the_o stomach_n rise_v and_o gather_v in_o the_o brain_n flow_v through_o the_o eye_n so_o do_v the_o cloud_n send_v forth_o as_o from_o the_o brain_n the_o vapour_n which_o do_v rise_v in_o shower_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o planet_n the_o earth_n sun_n moon_n the_o rest_n of_o planet_n all_o be_v move_v by_o that_o we_o vital_a spirit_n call_v and_o like_v to_o animal_n some_o move_v more_o slow_a and_o other_o some_o by_o quick_a motion_n go_v and_o as_o some_o creature_n by_o their_o shape_n do_v fly_v some_o swim_n some_o run_v some_o creep_v some_o rise_v high_a so_o planet_n by_o their_o shape_n about_o do_v wind_n all_o be_v make_v like_o circle_n round_o we_o find_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o sea_n the_o sea_n be_v more_o quick_a than_o fresh_a water_n be_v the_o reason_n be_v more_o vital_a spirit_n be_v there_o and_o as_o the_o planet_n move_v still_o round_o about_o so_o sea_n do_v ebb_v and_o flow_v both_o in_o and_o out_o as_o arrow_n fly_v up_o far_o as_o strength_n they_o lend_v and_o then_o for_o want_v of_o strength_n do_v back_o descend_v so_o do_v the_o sea_n in_o ebbs-run_n back_o again_o for_o want_v of_o strength_n their_o length_n for_o to_o maintain_v but_o why_o they_o ebb_v and_o flow_v at_o certain_a time_n be_v like_o the_o lung_n that_o draw_v and_o breath_n out_o wind_n just_o so_o do_v sea_n draw_v back_o and_o then_o do_v flow_v as_o constant_a as_o the_o lung_n do_v to_o and_o fro_o always_o in_o motion_n never_o lie_v still_o the_o empty_a place_n they_o leave_v turn_v back_o to_o fill_v we_o may_v as_o well_o inquire_v of_o nature_n why_o animal_n breathe_v in_o such_o a_o space_n of_o time_n as_o the_o sea_n ebb_v and_o flow_v in_o such_o a_o space_n of_o time_n i_o can_v have_v enlarge_v my_o book_n with_o the_o fancy_n of_o the_o several_a motion_n which_o make_v the_o several_a effect_n of_o the_o sun_n planet_n or_o the_o sun_n i_o may_v say_v as_o the_o fix_a star_n and_o whether_o they_o have_v not_o cast_v knowledge_n and_o understand_v by_o their_o various_a and_o quick_a and_o subtle_a motion_n and_o whether_o they_o do_v not_o order_v and_o dispose_v other_o creature_n by_o the_o power_n of_o their_o supreme_a motion_n what_o motion_n make_v civil_a war_n and_o whether_o the_o air_n cause_v it_o or_o not_o whether_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n work_v not_o upon_o the_o disposition_n of_o several_a creature_n and_o of_o several_a effect_n join_v as_o one_o way_n what_o motion_n make_v the_o air_n pestilent_a and_o how_o it_o come_v to_o change_v into_o several_a disease_n and_o whether_o disease_n be_v just_a alike_o and_o whether_o they_o differ_v as_o the_o face_n of_o man_n do_v why_o some_o figure_n be_v apt_a to_o some_o disease_n and_o other_o not_o and_o why_o some_o kind_n of_o drug_n or_o cordial_n will_v work_v on_o some_o disease_n and_o not_o on_o other_o and_o why_o some_o drug_n have_v strong_a effect_n upon_o some_o humour_n and_o not_o upon_o other_o and_o why_o physic_n shall_v purge_v and_o how_o some_o cordial_n will_v rectify_v the_o disorderly_a motion_n in_o a_o distemper_a figure_n why_o some_o ground_n will_v bear_v some_o sort_n of_o seed_n and_o not_o other_o why_o same_o food_n will_v nourish_v some_o figure_n and_o destroy_v other_o how_o natural_a affection_n be_v breed_v in_o the_o womb_n what_o make_v a_o natural_a aversion_n from_o some_o creature_n to_o other_o and_o what_o cause_v a_o unnaturalnsse_n to_o their_o own_o kind_n and_o breed_n what_o motion_n make_v thunder_n lightning_n wind_n

water_n earth_n what_o manner_n of_o motion_n make_v sense_n why_o some_o have_v hair_n some_o wool_n some_o feather_n some_o scale_n and_o some_o only_a skin_n and_o why_o some_o vegetable_n bear_v some_o leave_n some_o none_o some_o fruit_n some_o none_o and_o what_o motion_n make_v particular_a taste_n scent_n colour_n touch_v and_o why_o all_o do_v touch_v not_o taste_v alike_o and_o whether_o they_o be_v inherent_a or_o not_o and_o how_o they_o may_v be_v inherent_a in_o every_o figure_n proper_a thereto_o and_o yet_o another_o figure_n receive_v they_o in_o another_o sense_n
