in_o for_o a_o pretty_a while_n without_o any_o extreme_a prejudice_n but_o these_o difficulty_n be_v easy_o answer_v for_o whether_o beast_n heart_n do_v lie_v direct_o horizontal_o or_o whither_o the_o basis_n be_v fasten_v some_o what_o high_a than_o the_o tip_n reach_v and_o so_o make_v their_o hart_n hang_v incline_v downwards_o still_o the_o motion_n of_o gravity_n have_v its_o effect_n in_o they_o as_o we_o may_v perceive_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o a_o viper_n lie_v upon_o a_o plate_n and_o in_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o of_o itself_o swell_v up_o and_o straight_o again_o sink_v down_o in_o which_o we_o can_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o gravity_n fight_v against_o the_o heat_n make_v the_o elevate_v part_n to_o fall_v as_o the_o heat_n make_v they_o rise_v and_o as_o for_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o man_n can_v not_o stay_v long_o in_o that_o posture_n without_o violent_a accident_n and_o in_o any_o little_a while_n we_o see_v that_o the_o blood_n come_v into_o their_o face_n and_o other_o part_n which_o natural_o be_v situate_v high_o but_o by_o this_o position_n become_v low_a than_o the_o hart_n and_o much_o time_n be_v not_o require_v to_o have_v they_o quite_o disorder_v and_o suffocate_v the_o blood_n pass_v through_o the_o hart_n with_o too_o much_o quickenesse_n and_o not_o receive_v due_a concoction_n there_o and_o fall_v thence_o in_o too_o great_a abundance_n into_o place_n that_o can_v not_o with_o conveniency_n entertain_v it_o but_o you_o will_v insist_v and_o ask_v whether_o in_o that_o posture_n the_o hart_n do_v move_v or_o no_o and_o how_o and_o to_o speak_v by_o guess_n in_o a_o thing_n i_o have_v not_o yet_o make_v experience_n enough_o to_o be_v thorough_o inform_v in_o i_o conceive_v without_o any_o great_a scruple_n that_o it_o do_v move_v and_o that_o it_o happen_v thus_o that_o the_o hart_n hang_v somewhat_o loose_a must_v needs_o tumble_v over_o and_o the_o tip_n of_o it_o lean_a downwards_o some_o way_n or_o other_o and_o so_o lie_v in_o part_n like_o the_o hart_n of_o a_o beast_n though_o not_o so_o convenient_o accommodate_v and_o then_o the_o heat_n which_o make_v the_o viscous_a blood_n that_o be_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o hart_n to_o ferment_n will_v not_o fail_v of_o raise_v it_o up_o whereupon_o the_o weight_n of_o that_o side_n of_o the_o hart_n that_o be_v lift_v up_o will_v present_o press_v it_o down_o again_o and_o thus_o by_o the_o alternative_a operation_n of_o these_o cause_n the_o hart_n will_v be_v make_v to_o open_v and_o shut_v itself_o as_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o admit_v and_o thrust_v out_o that_o little_a and_o disorderly_o come_v blood_n which_o make_v its_o course_n through_o it_o for_o that_o little_a space_n wherein_o the_o man_n continue_v in_o that_o position_n hart_n now_o from_o these_o effect_n wrought_v in_o the_o hart_n by_o the_o moisten_a of_o the_o fiber_n two_o other_o effect_n do_v proceed_v the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o blood_n be_v push_v out_o of_o every_o corner_n of_o the_o hart_n with_o a_o impetuousness_n or_o velocity_n the_o other_o be_v that_o by_o this_o motion_n the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o the_o ventricle_n of_o the_o hart_n and_o in_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v even_o then_o heat_v there_o be_v more_o and_o deep_o press_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o hart_n so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o hart_n imbibe_v fresh_a vigour_n and_o be_v strengthen_v with_o new_a spirit_n while_o it_o seem_v to_o reject_v that_o which_o shall_v strengthen_v it_o again_o two_o other_o effect_n follow_v this_o violent_a eiection_n of_o the_o blood_n out_o of_o the_o hart_n the_o one_o be_v that_o for_o the_o present_a the_o hart_n be_v entire_o cleanse_v of_o all_o remainder_n of_o blood_n none_o be_v permit_v to_o fall_v back_o to_o annoy_v it_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o hart_n find_v itself_o dry_a the_o fiber_n do_v relent_v present_o into_o their_o natural_a position_n and_o extension_n and_o the_o valuulae_fw-la that_o open_a inward_n fall_v flat_a to_o the_o side_n of_o the_o ventricle_n and_o consequent_o new_a blood_n drop_v in_o so_o that_o in_o conclusion_n we_o see_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o hart_n depend_v original_o of_o its_o fiber_n irrigate_v by_o the_o blood_n and_o not_o from_o the_o force_n of_o the_o vapour_n as_o mounseur_fw-fr des_fw-fr cartes_n
