he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v other_o way_n of_o calefaction_n as_o fermentation_n putrefaction_n and_o attrition_n but_o the_o sear_n only_o observable_a in_o solid_a body_n the_o design_n accension_n of_o which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o since_o the_o blood_n have_v not_o any_o other_o body_n apply_v to_o communicate_v heat_n to_o it_o and_o since_o it_o be_v not_o impregnate_v with_o saline_n corrosive_n but_o be_v sufficient_o stock_v with_o sulphureous_a particle_n and_o since_o fermentation_n putrefaction_n and_o attrition_n be_v only_o the_o cause_n of_o heat_n in_o solid_a body_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v preserve_v in_o a_o continual_a heat_n by_o accension_n of_o its_o sulphureous_a pabulum_fw-la but_o if_o we_o do_v hot_a but_o due_o consider_v how_o heat_n be_v promote_v in_o all_o these_o several_a sort_n of_o substance_n it_o will_v present_o appear_v that_o in_o philosophy_n there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n by_o which_o all_o whether_o liquid_a or_o solid_a grow_v hot_a and_o if_o so_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o whether_o we_o say_v the_o blood_n grow_v hot_a by_o apply_v of_o a_o hot_a thing_n to_o it_o or_o saline_n corrosive_n whether_o by_o fermentation_n accension_n or_o attrition_n it_o will_v be_v equivalent_o the_o same_o to_o make_v it_o evident_a heat_n then_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n by_o which_o all_o body_n grow_v hot_a and_o that_o to_o say_v that_o the_o heat_n of_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o application_n of_o other_o hot_a body_n saline_n corrosive_n accension_n fermentation_n or_o attrition_n be_v but_o to_o express_v the_o same_o thing_n several_a way_n since_o they_o be_v all_o equivalent_o perform_v the_o same_o way_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o hot_a body_n and_o wherein_o their_o power_n consist_v either_o to_o cause_n heat_v themselves_o or_o to_o communicate_v that_o power_n to_o other_o and_o because_o several_a remiss_a degree_n of_o heat_n differ_v only_o in_o proportion_n from_o fire_n which_o be_v the_o most_o intense_a and_o because_o that_o be_v free_a from_o those_o mask_n and_o cloud_n which_o intervene_v it_o and_o our_o sense_n when_o it_o be_v in_o more_o remiss_a degree_n the_o best_a way_n to_o understand_v the_o reason_n of_o heat_n will_v be_v to_o consider_v wherein_o the_o essential_a nature_n of_o fire_n consist_v among_o philosopher_n sight_n although_o it_o be_v very_o dubious_a what_o it_o be_v that_o cause_v fire_n to_o differ_v so_o much_o from_o all_o other_o substance_n yet_o it_o be_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o most_o modern_n and_o evident_a from_o flame_n itself_o and_o the_o manner_n that_o it_o destroy_v other_o body_n by_o that_o it_o be_v make_v up_o of_o rarify_v matter_n who_o particle_n be_v in_o a_o swift_a and_o powerful_a intestine_a agitation_n and_o of_o a_o peculiar_a figure_n and_o size_n and_o if_o fire_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o matter_n rarefy_v and_o in_o a_o swift_a motion_n and_o from_o that_o swift_a and_o intense_a motion_n of_o matter_n affect_v our_o organ_n of_o sense_n we_o perceive_v heat_n we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o whatever_o rarefy_v matter_n and_o put_v its_o part_n into_o a_o brisk_a motion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o heat_n and_o although_o according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o subject_n that_o heat_n be_v disperse_v through_o it_o have_v different_a appearance_n to_o our_o sense_n and_o in_o most_o it_o be_v light_a which_o when_o it_o exist_v separate_o be_v always_o join_v with_o it_o it_o be_v obscure_v by_o the_o interposition_n and_o mixture_n of_o other_o matter_n yet_o if_o heat_n depend_v essential_o upon_o the_o effect_n that_o rarefy_v matter_n in_o motion_n have_v upon_o our_o sense_n it_o be_v undeniable_o true_a that_o heat_n be_v cause_v only_o one_o way_n remote_o and_o proximate_o with_o respect_n to_o matter_n in_o motion_n and_o the_o effect_v it_o then_o have_v upon_o we_o viz._n by_o put_v the_o part_n of_o matter_n into_o a_o brisk_a motion_n to_o affect_v our_o sense_n with_o violence_n enough_o to_o cause_v such_o a_o sensation_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o a_o further_a proof_n of_o what_o i_o have_v assert_v viz._n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n in_o philosophy_n by_o which_o all_o thing_n grow_v hot_a it_o be_v a_o controversy_n whether_o heat_v be_v actual_o in_o the_o body_n that_o cause_v it_o or_o whether_o matter_n in_o motion_n only_o produce_v such_o a_o effect_n as_o the_o sense_n of_o heat_n upon_o our_o sensory_a although_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a i_o shall_v here_o publish_v my_o opinion_n of_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a i_o shall_v explain_v what_o i_o mean_v when_o i_o say_v that_o heat_n be_v only_o produce_v one_o way_n or_o that_o heat_n be_v cause_v by_o put_v the_o part_n of_o matter_n into_o a_o swift_a motion_n or_o that_o heat_n depend_v on_o the_o effect_n which_o rarefy_v matter_n have_v upon_o our_o sense_n when_o it_o be_v in_o motion_n but_o if_o i_o be_v here_o to_o declare_v my_o opinion_n of_o sensation_n this_o point_n which_o be_v so_o different_o hold_v by_o various_a philosopher_n i_o shall_v say_v that_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v conceive_v of_o it_o heat_n be_v not_o actual_o in_o the_o body_n that_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v perceive_v by_o our_o sense_n but_o potential_o in_o as_o much_o as_o that_o body_n have_v a_o power_n to_o cause_v such_o a_o sensation_n and_o although_o a_o great_a many_o may_v wonder_v that_o fire_n which_o cause_n heat_v shall_v not_o be_v hot_a itself_o yet_o there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o as_o that_o a_o sword_n which_o will_v cause_v pain_n be_v not_o pain_n itself_o for_o those_o who_o think_v that_o fire_n which_o cause_n heat_v be_v heatt_z itself_o take_v the_o cause_n for_o the_o effect_n and_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v so_o beside_o heat_v be_v only_o a_o sensation_n and_o it_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v a_o sensation_n where_o there_o be_v no_o sense_n it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v heat_n where_o there_o be_v only_a fire_n and_o no_o sense_n for_o it_o to_o work_v upon_o for_o heat_n be_v not_o a_o mode_n of_o matter_n rarefy_v and_o in_o motion_n but_o a_o effect_n of_o matter_n so_o modify_v but_o say_v they_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o think_v so_o true_o if_o we_o be_v not_o direct_v in_o our_o thought_n by_o reason_n we_o may_v irrational_o think_v that_o matter_n in_o motion_n which_o only_o cause_v heat_n be_v heat_n but_o if_o our_o reason_n proceed_v upon_o those_o medium_n which_o our_o sense_n furnish_v we_o with_o and_o certain_o we_o can_v on_o no_o other_o we_o shall_v easy_o be_v induce_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o cause_n be_v not_o the_o effect_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n for_o we_o to_o believe_v so_o though_o none_o to_o the_o contrary_n when_o then_o i_o say_v that_o heat_n be_v only_o produce_v one_o way_n i_o mean_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n to_o modify_v body_n so_o as_o to_o make_v they_o capable_a of_o cause_v heat_n when_o they_o affect_v our_o sensory_a and_o when_o i_o say_v that_o heat_n be_v cause_v by_o put_v the_o part_n of_o matter_n into_o motion_n i_o mean_v that_o a_o power_n of_o produce_v heat_n be_v cause_v so_o and_o when_o i_o say_v that_o heat_n depend_v on_o the_o effect_n that_o rarefy_v matter_n have_v upon_o our_o sense_n i_o mean_v it_o be_v cause_v by_o those_o affect_v our_o sense_n and_o because_o always_o when_o i_o have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v the_o cause_n of_o heat_n it_o will_v be_v too_o much_o circumlocution_n to_o say_v the_o power_n of_o cause_v heat_n be_v produce_v so_o or_o otherwise_o i_o shall_v use_v the_o word_n heat_v sometime_o to_o signify_v that_o motion_n of_o rarify_v matter_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o cause_v heat_n and_o shall_v call_v that_o motion_n heat_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o effect_n which_o it_o cause_v but_o to_o proceed_v to_o a_o further_o and_o more_o evident_a proof_n that_o heat_n prove_v or_o a_o power_n to_o produce_v it_o be_v only_o cause_v one_o way_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v

in_o cause_v these_o effect_n as_o well_o as_o the_o blood_n which_o evident_o appear_v from_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v for_o when_o the_o spirit_n and_o blood_n be_v forcible_o drive_v

the_o whole_a habit_n of_o the_o body_n and_o ferment_n at_o the_o same_o time_n with_o the_o animal_n spirit_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v raise_v in_o the_o blood_n a_o considerable_a heat_n or_o in_o other_o word_n the_o part_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v put_v into_o so_o swift_a and_o intense_a a_o degree_n of_o motion_n as_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o

only_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o blood_n ferment_v every_o pulsation_n but_o also_o by_o a_o continual_a succession_n of_o pulsation_n the_o blood_n be_v force_v into_o a_o fermentation_n by_o the_o

in_o the_o artery_n before_o it_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o gland_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o vein_n after_o fermentation_n they_o may_v think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o wherever_o it_o ferment_n there_o it_o be_v fermentation_n be_v cause_v and_o because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o blood_n betwixt_o their_o extremity_n and_o the_o large_a vessel_n they_o may_v think_v that_o the_o fermentation_n in_o the_o extremity_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o the_o large_a vessel_n it_o be_v a_o old_a maxim_n that_o

whether_o fermentation_n can_v be_v carry_v on_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n as_o the_o quick_a circulation_n and_o consequent_o protrusion_n of_o the_o blood_n from_o the_o

in_o a_o strong_a and_o powerful_a motion_n by_o a_o attrition_n and_o grind_v upon_o one_o another_o cause_n heat_n so_o also_o the_o particle_n of_o flame_n by_o attrition_n turn_v sulphur_n into_o

except_o it_o be_v put_v into_o a_o flame_n as_o that_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n can_v grow_v hot_a without_o accension_n but_o since_o every_o body_n know_v that_o hot_a water_n be_v not_o flame_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o blood_n may_v be_v hot_a without_o accension_n too_o that_o to_o produce_v heat_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o flame_n to_o be_v always_o accend_v be_v
