that_o from_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o animal_n certain_a small_a vessel_n do_v proceed_v which_o the_o anatomist_n call_v lymphatic_a because_o they_o be_v full_a of_o a_o clear_a and_o transparent_a liquor_n which_o they_o name_n lympha_fw-la the_o membrane_n which_o compose_v they_o be_v so_o delicate_a that_o they_o be_v invisible_a when_o they_o be_v not_o replenish_v they_o be_v inosculate_v into_o one_o another_o and_o so_o compose_v big_a enough_o trunk_n which_o be_v insert_v into_o the_o vein_n those_o which_o come_v from_o the_o head_n and_o from_o the_o neck_n be_v insert_v in_o the_o subclavian_n or_o in_o the_o jugular_n and_o the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o which_o derive_v their_o origine_fw-la from_o the_o inferior_a part_n and_o from_o the_o viscera_n of_o the_o low_a belly_n do_v discharge_v themselves_o into_o one_o cistern_n place_v upon_o the_o vertebra_n of_o the_o loin_n from_o whence_o there_o go_v a_o vessel_n which_o after_o have_v pass_v over_o the_o vertebra_n of_o the_o thorax_n do_v void_a its_o lympha_fw-la into_o the_o subclavian_n vein_n this_o cistern_n be_v call_v the_o reservatory_n of_o the_o chyle_n because_o the_o chyle_n which_o be_v form_v in_o the_o stomach_n by_o the_o digestion_n of_o the_o meat_n come_v thither_o and_o the_o vessel_n which_o go_v from_o this_o reservatory_n be_v call_v canalis_fw-la thoracicus_n because_o it_o be_v find_v couch_v upon_o the_o vertebra_n of_o the_o thorax_n that_o which_o be_v most_o remarkable_a in_o these_o vessel_n be_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o little_a valve_n which_o be_v place_v at_o very_o small_a distance_n from_o one_o another_o they_o be_v so_o dispose_v as_o that_o they_o permit_v the_o lympha_fw-la easy_o to_o run_v towards_o the_o vein_n but_o they_o hinder_v it_o from_o come_v back_o again_o and_o from_o flow_v towards_o the_o part_n from_o whence_o the_o lymphatic_a vessel_n do_v proceed_v from_o whence_o we_o may_v certain_o conclude_v that_o the_o lympha_fw-la do_v not_o come_v from_o the_o vein_n but_o from_o the_o part_n from_o whence_o the_o limphatick_a vessel_n do_v derive_v their_o origine_fw-la which_o agree_v perfect_o with_o experience_n for_o if_o you_o tie_v with_o a_o thread_n any_o lymphatic_a vessel_n the_o limpha_n do_v so_o abound_v between_o the_o ligature_n and_o the_o part_n from_o whence_o the_o vessel_n come_v that_o it_o blow_v it_o up_o prodigious_o and_o be_v so_o empty_v between_o the_o ligature_n and_o the_o vein_n whether_o it_o be_v go_v to_o discharge_v its_o self_n that_o there_o it_o become_v invisible_a from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o lymphatic_a vessel_n be_v to_o carry_v into_o the_o vein_n the_o limpha_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o live_a body_n we_o have_v not_o hitherto_o discover_v any_o vessel_n which_o bring_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o live_a body_n but_o artery_n and_o nerve_n the_o artery_n bring_v blood_n and_o the_o nerve_n animal_n spirit_n it_o must_v needs_o therefore_o be_v that_o the_o lympha_fw-la come_v either_o from_o the_o artery_n alone_o or_o from_o the_o nerve_n alone_o or_o from_o the_o artery_n and_o nerve_n together_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o come_v from_o the_o artery_n alone_o for_o if_o you_o cut_v the_o nerve_n which_o go_v to_o one_o part_n there_o do_v not_o flow_v so_o much_o lympha_fw-la in_o the_o beginning_n and_o diminish_v by_o little_a and_o little_a in_o fine_a it_o cease_v entire_o neither_o do_v it_o come_v from_o the_o nerve_n alone_o since_o if_o you_o tie_v the_o artery_n which_o carry_v the_o blood_n to_o one_o part_n it_o cease_v by_o little_a and_o little_a to_o furnish_v lympha_fw-la it_o must_v needs_o be_v therefore_o that_o the_o lympha_fw-la come_v partly_o from_o the_o artery_n and_o partly_o from_o the_o nerve_n and_o consequent_o it_o must_v be_v compose_v of_o a_o part_n of_o the_o arterial_a blood_n and_o of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n the_o lymphatic_a part_n which_o come_v from_o the_o blood_n pass_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o particle_n of_o the_o liquor_n which_o flow_v from_o the_o glandule_n for_o as_o these_o pass_n from_o the_o blood_n by_o be_v engage_v in_o certain_a pore_n of_o the_o artery_n even_o so_o the_o lymphatic_a particle_n find_v in_o the_o artery_n small_a holes_n through_o which_o they_o may_v pass_v they_o be_v engage_v in_o they_o but_o because_o they_o be_v follow_v by_o other_o which_o press_v they_o forward_o they_o get_v out_o and_o pass_v into_o the_o fibre_n of_o the_o part_n from_o whence_o the_o lymphatic_a vessel_n come_v these_o which_o come_v from_o the_o nerve_n do_v not_o get_v out_o by_o this_o artifice_n the_o nerve_n insert_v their_o filament_n into_o the_o tendinous_a fibres_fw-fr of_o one_o part_n and_o shed_v the_o animal_n spirit_n into_o their_o cavity_n the_o fibre_n have_v pore_n through_o which_o they_o escape_v and_o mingle_v themselves_o with_o what_o run_v from_o the_o artery_n to_o compose_v the_o lympha_fw-la by_o their_o mixture_n since_o we_o have_v establish_v in_o the_o discourse_n of_o nerve_n that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v no_o thing_n but_o a_o sulphureous_a alcalie_a we_o may_v well_o think_v that_o the_o lympha_fw-la be_v nothing_o but_o a_o composure_n of_o volatile_a

this_o sentiment_n that_o be_v if_o you_o gather_v of_o the_o lympha_fw-la in_o a_o silver_n spoon_n and_o place_v the_o spoon_n on_o the_o fire_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o begin_v to_o warm_v there_o go_v from_o the_o lympha_fw-la a_o small_a vapour_n and_o then_o it_o harden_v like_o the_o white_a of_o a_o egg_n that_o be_v boil_v i_o say_v this_o experiment_n confirm_v that_o the_o lympha_fw-la be_v nothing_o but_o a_o composure_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o fix_a sulphur_n a_o little_a of_o volatile_a a_o little_a of_o phlegm_n and_o much_o volatile_a alcalie_a for_o the_o lympha_fw-la

then_o the_o fix_a sulphur_n be_v alone_o do_v so_o entangle_v their_o branch_n one_o with_o another_o that_o they_o can_v move_v after_o the_o manner_n that_o be_v needful_a to_o compose_v a_o

conclude_v from_o this_o that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o lympha_fw-la be_v to_o nourish_v the_o part_n between_o the_o fibre_n of_o which_o it_o flow_v as_o will_v appear_v plain_o enough_o after_o

of_o they_o by_o other_o we_o may_v well_o think_v that_o their_o use_n be_v to_o separate_v from_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n the_o saline_n part_n which_o be_v form_v thereby_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o acid_n and_o alcaly_n which_o make_v we_o conclude_v that_o the_o part_n which_o pass_v away_o by_o transpiration_n be_v part_n of_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o live_a body_n and_o not_o

examine_v its_o nature_n by_o mingle_v it_o with_o acid_n and_o alcaly_n yet_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o think_v that_o the_o volatile_a alcalie_a prevail_v in_o it_o with_o a_o extreme_o volatile_a sulphur_n the_o reason_n be_v that_o all_o volatile_a alcali_n take_v inward_o do_v increase_v the_o animal_n spirit_n the_o volatile_a sulphur_n do_v almost_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v

confirm_v we_o in_o this_o sentiment_n for_o alcaly_n do_v dissolve_v sulphur_n by_o separate_v their_o part_n one_o from_o another_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n hinder_v their_o branch_n from_o
