soul_n be_v three_o distinct_a soul_n and_o not_o join_v in_o one_o soul_n appoint_v for_o several_a office_n but_o because_o that_o opinion_n have_v be_v esteem_v but_o vain_a it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v insist_v upon_o but_o brief_o that_o i_o declare_v what_o aristotle_n and_o plato_n with_o their_o follower_n have_v hold_v the_o first_o with_o his_o scholar_n affirm_v the_o reasonable_a soul_n to_o be_v in_o substance_n indivisible_a and_o albeit_o they_o assign_v unto_o her_o diverse_a virtue_n yet_o will_v they_o not_o have_v they_o to_o be_v indeed_o several_a and_o diverse_a but_o that_o the_o diversity_n shall_v proceed_v &_o consist_v only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o understand_v they_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o in_o the_o line_n of_o a_o circle_n the_o inner_a part_n which_o be_v hollow_a or_o embow_v and_o the_o outward_a which_o be_v bend_v which_o two_o part_n though_o we_o understand_v they_o diverse_o yet_o be_v they_o but_o one_o line_n and_o not_o several_a neither_o do_v they_o assign_v unto_o her_o diverse_a place_n but_o say_v that_o she_o be_v all_o and_o whole_a in_o all_o our_o body_n and_o in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o same_o and_o apt_a there_o to_o exercise_v all_o her_o function_n if_o the_o part_n be_v apt_a to_o receive_v they_o but_o because_o every_o part_n be_v not_o dispose_v to_o receive_v they_o therefore_o she_o make_v show_v of_o they_o only_o in_o such_o as_o be_v make_v fit_a instrument_n to_o execute_v her_o power_n and_o faculty_n so_o give_v she_o virtue_n to_o the_o eye_n to_o see_v to_o the_o ear_n to_o hear_v and_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n that_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o our_o sense_n but_o plato_n and_o his_o sect_n have_v give_v to_o every_o power_n of_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n a_o peculiar_a seat_n in_o man_n body_n for_o though_o they_o hold_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v but_o one_o endue_v with_o several_a virtue_n or_o power_n yet_o they_o affirm_v that_o every_o one_o of_o those_o have_v a_o several_a seat_n appoint_v in_o man_n body_n to_o the_o vegetative_a from_o which_o as_o from_o a_o fountain_n they_o say_v the_o concupiscible_a appetite_n do_v flow_v they_o appoint_v the_o liver_n for_o her_o place_n to_o the_o sensitive_a whence_o come_v say_v they_o the_o fervent_a passion_n of_o anger_n they_o give_v the_o heart_n but_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n as_o be_v the_o most_o divine_a thing_n under_o heaven_n they_o assign_v to_o hold_v her_o seat_n like_o a_o queen_n in_o a_o royal_a chair_n even_o in_o the_o head_n unto_o which_o opinion_n all_o the_o greek_a author_n of_o physic_n have_v lean_v and_o special_o galen_n the_o excellent_a interpreter_n of_o hypocrates_n who_o have_v not_o only_o attribute_v three_o several_a seat_n to_o the_o three_o several_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o operation_n but_o have_v also_o show_v with_o what_o order_n those_o member_n be_v frame_v that_o must_v be_v the_o receptacle_n of_o those_o faculty_n for_o he_o show_v how_o the_o first_o member_n that_o take_v form_n after_o the_o conception_n be_v the_o liver_n from_o whence_o spring_n all_o the_o vein_n that_o like_o small_a brook_n carry_v blood_n over_o all_o the_o body_n and_o in_o this_o member_n do_v he_o place_v the_o live_n or_o nourish_v soul_n which_o we_o have_v term_v vegetative_a affirm_v it_o to_o be_v most_o approach_v to_o nature_n next_o unto_o this_o he_o place_v the_o heart_n wherein_o all_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v forge_v and_o receive_v their_o strength_n for_o the_o generation_n whereof_o the_o liver_n send_v blood_n thither_o where_o it_o be_v refine_v and_o make_v more_o pure_a and_o subtle_a and_o from_o thence_o by_o the_o artery_n which_o all_o spring_n from_o the_o heart_n the_o same_o spirit_n be_v spread_v throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o these_o two_o principal_a member_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o two_o principal_a appetite_n the_o irascible_a and_o the_o concupiscible_a of_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o this_o the_o liver_n and_o because_o all_o this_o while_n the_o creature_n have_v yet_o no_o need_n as_o be_v unperfect_a of_o sense_n or_o motion_n it_o be_v busy_v about_o nothing_o but_o receive_v of_o nourishment_n somewhat_o further_o off_o from_o the_o heart_n begin_v the_o brain_n to_o grow_v and_o from_o it_o do_v all_o the_o sense_n flow_v and_o then_o lo_o begin_v the_o child_n to_o take_v form_n and_o shape_n of_o a_o perfect_a creature_n the_o face_n the_o hand_n and_o the_o foot_n be_v then_o fashion_v with_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n apt_a for_o feeling_n and_o voluntary_a move_n and_o from_o thence_o be_v derive_v the_o sinew_n the_o band_n or_o ligament_n and_o muscle_n be_v frame_v by_o which_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o member_n be_v dispose_v this_o part_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n by_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o which_o we_o understand_v we_o will_v we_o discourse_v we_o know_v we_o choose_v we_o contemplate_v and_o do_v all_o those_o operation_n which_o appertain_v unto_o reason_n and_o as_o nature_n have_v place_v the_o brain_n a_o good_a distance_n off_o from_o the_o other_o two_o principal_a member_n so_o have_v she_o frame_v a_o cartilege_n or_o thin_a rind_n or_o skin_n to_o sever_v the_o heart_n from_o the_o liver_n and_o other_o inward_a bowel_n as_o with_o a_o fence_n or_o hedge_n between_o they_o and_o the_o other_o base_a part_n that_o be_v less_o pure_a for_o the_o heart_n be_v pure_a and_o so_o be_v that_o blood_n which_o convey_v the_o spirit_n from_o it_o throughout_o the_o body_n than_o the_o liver_n or_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v engender_v in_o the_o same_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n be_v aristotle_n just_o reprehend_v by_o galen_n in_o that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o heart_n alone_o that_o which_o appertain_v to_o all_o three_o the_o principal_a member_n aforesaid_a for_o though_o he_o assign_v diverse_a virtue_n or_o power_n to_o the_o soul_n yet_o he_o place_v they_o all_o in_o the_o heart_n alone_o from_o which_o he_o say_v contrary_a to_o that_o which_o common_a sense_n and_o experience_n teach_v that_o all_o the_o vein_n artery_n and_o sinew_n of_o the_o body_n be_v derive_v but_o because_o we_o shall_v go_v too_o far_o astray_o from_o our_o purpose_n if_o i_o shall_v discourse_v particular_o all_o that_o which_o may_v be_v say_v in_o this_o matter_n i_o will_v return_v if_o you_o so_o think_v good_a to_o our_o former_a purpose_n which_o i_o leave_v to_o satisfy_v your_o demand_n thus_o much_o say_v the_o lord_n primate_n have_v not_o a_o little_a open_v the_o understanding_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v proceed_v unless_o any_o other_o of_o the_o company_n have_v any_o other_o doubt_n to_o propose_v but_o they_o all_o be_v silent_a and_o seem_v attentive_a to_o hear_v further_o i_o say_v now_o that_o you_o have_v understand_v what_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v it_o follow_v to_o be_v declare_v how_o the_o age_n of_o man_n life_n have_v similitude_n with_o the_o same_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o life_n therefore_o call_v vegetative_a be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o rest_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o base_a so_o be_v the_o age_n of_o childhood_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o other_o age_n and_o therefore_o the_o least_o noble_a for_o the_o necessity_n which_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o and_o because_o upon_o it_o the_o other_o age_n be_v build_v there_o ought_v the_o great_a diligence_n to_o be_v use_v about_o the_o same_o to_o make_v it_o pass_v on_o towards_o the_o other_o more_o noble_a than_o itself_o so_o as_o we_o may_v reasonable_o conceive_v a_o hope_n that_o from_o a_o wel-guided_n childhood_n the_o child_n may_v enter_v into_o a_o commendable_a youth_n and_o thence_o pass_v to_o a_o more_o ripe_a age_n by_o the_o direction_n of_o virtue_n but_o first_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o aristotle_n will_v in_o no_o wise_n yield_v that_o this_o inferior_a soul_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o reason_n and_o therefore_o place_v in_o the_o sensible_a soul_n both_o the_o concupiscible_a and_o the_o irascible_a appetite_n and_o contrariwise_o plato_n as_o before_o be_v say_v distinguish_v these_o two_o affect_n into_o both_o these_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n give_v to_o the_o first_o the_o concupiscible_a and_o the_o irascible_a to_o the_o other_o and_o because_o plato_n his_o opinion_n have_v general_o be_v better_a allow_v than_o aristotle_n i_o will_v speak_v thereof_o according_a as_o plato_n have_v determine_v this_o base_a soul_n then_o be_v that_o whereby_o we_o be_v nourish_v we_o grow_v we_o sustain_v life_n and_o receive_v our_o body_n and_o be_v about_o who_o maintain_v and_o increase_n she_o use_v continual_o whether_o we_o wake_v or_o sleep_v
