of_o the_o body_n the_o lung_n seem_v in_o some_o measure_n heart_n to_o perform_v the_o office_n of_o another_o heart_n and_o as_o the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n contract_v send_v out_o

it_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a to_o conceive_v since_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v only_a contraction_n and_o the_o dilation_n of_o its_o ventricles_n only_o a_o cessation_n from_o that_o

of_o their_o own_o accord_n that_o we_o shall_v rather_o believe_v they_o will_v be_v continual_o contract_v since_o all_o the_o weight_n of_o blood_n contain_v in_o the_o whole_a sanguiferous_a

nor_o be_v sufficient_o able_a due_o to_o extend_v the_o left_a in_o order_n to_o the_o next_o contraction_n by_o that_o force_n it_o receive_v from_o and_o be_v put_v into_o by_o the_o former_a

to_o make_v it_o circulate_v brisk_o through_o the_o narrow_a and_o capillary_a twig_n of_o the_o artery_n yet_o when_o it_o come_v into_o the_o vein_n it_o will_v move_v much_o more_o slow_a and_o by_o that_o time_n it_o come_v to_o the_o heart_n again_o will_v want_v force_n sufficient_a to_o dilate_v the_o right_a ventricle_n and_o the_o right_a ventricle_n be_v not_o due_o dilate_v so_o little_a blood_n will_v be_v squeeze_v into_o the_o lung_n that_o the_o left_a will_v want_v a_o supply_n of_o blood_n to_o dilate_v it_o and_o consequent_o the_o pressure_n of_o blood_n through_o the_o aorta_fw-mi and_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la will_v be_v so_o weak_a that_o the_o next_o dilation_n of_o the_o right_a ventricle_n will_v be_v weak_a than_o the_o former_a and_o so_o circulation_n will_v gradual_o decrease_v but_o that_o weak_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n into_o the_o right_a ventricle_n be_v increase_v by_o the_o force_n of_o subsequent_a matter_n from_o the_o left_a the_o

that_o breathe_v the_o lung_n more_o immediate_o assist_v the_o left_a ventricle_n so_o in_o one_o unborn_a the_o placenta_n more_o immediate_o promote_v the_o dilation_n of_o the_o right_n now_o although_o it_o from_o hence_o appear_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v promote_v by_o the_o reciprocal_a motion_n of_o the_o lung_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o whole_o depend_v upon_o it_o

the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n by_o attrition_n fermentation_n and_o fermentation_n will_v be_v needless_a i_o will_v signify_v all_o that_o action_n by_o fermentation_n and_o when_o i_o say_v the_o
