the_o force_v he_o mean_v spirit_n but_o if_o spirit_n must_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v every_o thing_n which_o enforce_v in_o a_o man_n body_n whatsoever_o have_v the_o power_n or_o force_n of_o

omit_v the_o tediousness_n of_o all_o other_o signification_n to_o our_o purpose_n those_o spirit_n which_o pass_v out_o through_o the_o vein_n or_o the_o artery_n be_v not_o separable_a from_o the_o blood_n no_o more_o than_o flame_n form_n the_o flake_n about_o it_o but_o the_o blood_n and_o the_o spirit_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n though_o divers_a in_o essence_n as_o good_a wine_n and_o its_o spirit_n for_o as_o wine_n be_v no_o more_o wine_n after_o it_o have_v lose_v its_o spirit_n but_o flat_a sluff_n or_o vinegar_n so_o neither_o blood_n without_o spirit_n be_v blood_n but_o

little_a flame_n kindle_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o wine_n and_o live_v by_o nourish_n of_o itself_o therefore_o blood_n when_o it_o be_v most_o imbue_v with_o spirit_n it_o do_v require_v and_o look_v after_o more_o room_n because_o it_o be_v swell_v or_o leaven_v and_o blow_v up_o by_o they_o which_o you_o may_v certain_o judge_v in_o my_o experiment_n which_o i_o bring_v concerning_o the_o

they_o be_v either_o part_n of_o the_o blood_n or_o adhere_v to_o it_o by_o a_o indissoluble_a connexion_n and_o a_o interrupt_a exhalation_n so_o that_o they_o can_v neither_o leave_v the_o part_n

continual_o vanish_v for_o that_o same_o reason_n that_o they_o neither_o flow_v back_o nor_o pass_v any_o way_n nor_o abide_v but_o according_a to_o the_o influxion_n refluxion_n or_o pass_v of_o the_o blood_n as_o be_v either_o there_o subject_a vehiculum_fw-la or_o nourishment_n then_o i_o will_v know_v how_o they_o show_v we_o that_o spirit_n be_v make_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o do_v make_v

of_o this_o opinion_n they_o be_v so_o far_o advance_v that_o they_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o blood_n contain_v in_o the_o artery_n whence_o they_o resolve_v that_o the_o influxive_a heat_n
