be_v still_o lose_v part_n of_o that_o motion_n for_o the_o reason_n assign_v before_o more_o or_o less_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o wideness_n of_o the_o vessel_n through_o which_o it_o be_v propel_v

the_o heart_n itself_o and_o the_o thorax_n as_o in_o the_o part_n that_o be_v more_o remote_a or_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o body_n for_o not_o only_o for_o the_o reason_n we_o have_v just_o

other_o muscle_n who_o contraction_n be_v perform_v with_o great_a force_n and_o energy_n and_o consequent_o the_o blood_n too_o will_v be_v more_o apt_a to_o stagnate_n in_o those_o remote_a part_n than_o in_o the_o other_o extremity_n so_o that_o this_o coldness_n will_v be_v more_o sensible_a in_o they_o as_o be_v assert_v moreover_o the_o vessel_n in_o those_o remote_a part_n grow_v always_o small_a and_o small_a the_o further_o they_o go_v this_o thick_a blood_n will_v be_v propel_v with_o the_o great_a difficulty_n through_o these_o vessel_n than_o if_o they_o be_v wide_a beside_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o glewiness_n of_o this_o ●ough_a and_o thick_a blood_n it_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o stick_v to_o the_o coat_n of_o the_o vessel_n and_o so_o more_o ready_a to_o subsist_v and_o to_o produce_v the_o abovementioned_a coldness_n but_o though_o this_o coldness_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o begin_v in_o the_o extremity_n than_o in_o any_o other_o part_n and_o though_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o small_a artery_n in_o the_o brain_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o other_o part_n yet_o this_o coldness_n will_v not_o be_v feel_v in_o it_o so_o soon_o as_o in_o they_o because_o

very_o well_o conceive_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o while_o the_o blood_n be_v thus_o stop_v in_o the_o capillary_a artery_n we_o can_v assign_v no_o time_n in_o the_o whole_a circulation_n in_o

blood_n flow_v more_o slow_o in_o the_o ordinary_a time_n of_o the_o circulation_n than_o be_v natural_o usual_a there_o will_v a_o lesser_a than_o a_o natural_a quantity_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n in_o every_o contraction_n and_o this_o small_a quantity_n will_v not_o fill_v the_o artery_n in_o that_o proportion_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o force_v it_o forward_o so_o as_o to_o break_v and_o divide_v it_o and_o to_o display_v its_o heat_n beside_o the_o blood_n be_v in_o this_o tough_a and_o viscid_a condition_n there_o will_v even_o be_v few_o of_o its_o fine_a and_o subtle_a part_n separate_v in_o the_o brain_n and_o dispose_v of_o into_o the_o muscle_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o the_o heart_n in_o course_n will_v have_v a_o faint_a contraction_n and_o a_o weak_a power_n to_o propel_v the_o blood_n which_o consequent_o will_v not_o be_v so_o well_o diuld_v nor_o the_o heat_n so_o well_o diffuse_v now_o suppose_v that_o this_o lentor_n or_o toughness_n can_v consist_v with_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o that_o the_o viscidity_n can_v not_o be_v break_v or_o dissolve_v by_o the_o natural_a motion_n it_o can_v be_v expect_v it_o ever_o shall_v by_o a_o degree_n of_o motion_n much_o below_o that_o which_o be_v natural_a and_o therefore_o this_o sense_n of_o cold_a must_v be_v feel_v in_o the_o other_o part_n and_o over_o the_o whole_a body_n pain_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o solution_n or_o disjoyn_v of_o continuous_a part_n and_o while_o the_o blood_n stagnate_v and_o its_o quantity_n be_v constant_o augment_v it_o must_v needs_o

the_o blood_n in_o this_o accidental_a fullness_n and_o viscidity_n may_v affect_v the_o vessel_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o be_v but_o natural_a to_o conclude_v that_o such_o a_o pain_n as_o

they_o appear_v swell_v and_o red_a and_o since_o the_o liquor_n that_o be_v thus_o slow_o propel_v and_o subsist_v and_o be_v whole_o obstruct_v in_o some_o part_n the_o part_n stink_a where_o this_o
