solid_a part_n be_v more_o susceptible_a of_o and_o long_o hold_v 4._o again_o because_o the_o watery_a part_n be_v very_o thin_a and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o middle_n between_o water_n and_o aire_n

which_o they_o use_v to_o call_v the_o spirit_n into_o the_o channel_n connect_v with_o itself_o and_o into_o the_o body_n join_v to_o it_o and_o the_o flesh_n be_v fibrous_a viz._n certain_a part_n

attain_v some_o kind_n of_o local_a motion_n by_o that_o irrigation_n from_o the_o heart_n 2._o again_o the_o channel_n especial_o if_o they_o be_v extreme_o little_a will_v swell_v too_o and_o become_v short_a 3._o since_o therefore_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o there_o flow_v abundance_n of_o spirit_n from_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o brain_n and_o again_o that_o from_o the_o brain_n through_o the_o whole_a body_n mostsubtilly-hollow_a nerve_n be_v extend_v to_o all_o the_o member_n and_o lose_v themselves_o by_o their_o dispersion_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o muscle_n it_o be_v plain_a the_o muscle_n will_v swell_v with_o these_o spirit_n as_o oft_o as_o the_o heart_n overflow_v and_o consequent_o become_v short_a and_o the_o part_n adhere_v to_o they_o be_v draw_v backward_o to_o the_o head_n of_o the_o muscle_n and_o which_o clear_o follow_v all_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o body_n be_v move_v from_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n according_a to_o what_o be_v convenient_a to_o its_o nature_n 4._o it_o follow_v too_o how_o certain_a other_o member_n which_o have_v no_o nerve_n but_o only_a fibre_n have_v motion_n of_o their_o own_o which_o consist_v almost_o in_o nothing_o else_o but_o in_o contraction_n and_o dilatation_n for_o the_o fibre_n be_v make_v short_a by_o their_o irrigation_n they_o draw_v the_o body_n with_o they_o into_o that_o

the_o progressive_a motion_n of_o a_o animal_n be_v effect_v for_o a_o animal_n which_o be_v move_v by_o walk_v whilst_o it_o stand_v still_o

be_v in_o a_o manner_n mix_v of_o a_o present_a evil_a and_o future_a good_a and_o it_o be_v the_o most_o violent_a of_o all_o the_o passion_n because_o so_o mething_a that_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o fall_v into_o a_o abundance_n of_o hot_a blood_n produce_v a_o most_o swift_a effect_n just_a as_o when_o something_o moist_a and_o cold_a fall_n into_o melt_a metal_n 7._o again_o because_o the_o spirit_n flow_v at_o that_o time_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o brain_n retain_v that_o nature_n they_o have_v receive_v in_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o brain_n itself_o they_o gather_v to_o

than_o such_o as_o be_v conformable_a to_o its_o passion_n 8._o and_o because_o the_o heart_n be_v join_v to_o the_o pericardium_n and_o the_o pericardium_n to_o the_o diaphragm_n and_o the_o diaphragm_n be_v furnish_v with_o a_o eminent_a nerve_n and_o be_v movable_a within_o itself_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o every_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n flow'_v by_o the_o diaphragm_n into_o the_o neighbour_a part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o all_o the_o motion_n of_o they_o all_o return_n again_o by_o its_o nerve_n to_o the_o brain_n and_o so_o beget_v a_o sense_n of_o that_o grief_n or_o pleasure_n which_o the_o heart_n be_v affect_v with_o whence_o too_o without_o any_o external_a sensation_n but_o by_o think_v only_o a_o animal_n may_v be_v delight_v and_o encourage_v to_o action_n 9_o again_o because_o by_o repeat_v either_o the_o stroke_n of_o object_n or_o very_a thought_n there_o grow_v a_o great_a multitude_n of_o phantasm_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o the_o brain_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o heart_n often_o agitate_a by_o such_o like_a cause_n in_o a_o certain_a motion_n get_v a_o aptitude_n to_o be_v easy_o move_v so_o there_o grow_v both_o in_o the_o brain_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n a_o certain_a constancy_n and_o facility_n of_o know_v and_o do_v in_o which_o consist_v the_o notion_n of_o intellectual_a and_o moral_a habit_n as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o body_n 10._o last_o since_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o diaphragm_n the_o breathe_n be_v alter_v and_o breathe_v express_v out_o of_o a_o hollow_a place_n through_o a_o narrow_a passage_n be_v apt_a to_o yield_v a_o voice_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o multiplication_n of_o its_o procession_n occasion_v by_o the_o reflection_n of_o the_o cavity_n it_o come_v to_o

lesson_n xxiii_o of_o the_o communicate_v affection_n to_o other_o 1._o far_o it_o appear_v that_o since_o all_o sensation_n whether_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o affect_v the_o body_n from_o without_o or_o those_o we_o be_v sensible_a of_o because_o one_o part_n of_o the_o body_n affect_v another_o be_v produce_v in_o a_o certain_a site_n to_o the_o organ_n of_o sensation_n that_o be_v in_o a_o right_n or_o the_o natural_a line_n of_o motion_n from_o the_o entry_n of_o the_o nerve_n to_o the_o place_n of_o sensation_n it_o follow_v that_o when_o we_o think_v of_o the_o same_o thing_n they_o must_v be_v in_o the_o very_a same_o site_n and_o posture_n whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o in_o dream_n and_o in_o distraction_n of_o mind_n we_o seem_v to_o see_v the_o very_a thing_n themselves_o before_o we_o 2._o it_o be_v apparent_a therefore_o they_o be_v in_o a_o fit_a situation_n for_o this_o viz._n to_o be_v press_v by_o the_o motion_n make_v by_o the_o heart_n into_o the_o same_o nerve_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o by_o the_o think_n on_o any_o object_n the_o nerve_n be_v just_a so_o move_v as_o when_o the_o sense_n convey_v it_o and_o consequent_o the_o same_o action_n be_v apt_a to_o follow_v 3._o and_o thus_o we_o see_v laugh_v and_o gape_v etc._n etc._n proceed_v from_o see_v other_o do_v so_o as_o love_n and_o hatred_n from_o hear-say_n 4._o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o blearey'dnesse_n and_o other_o distorsion_n of_o the_o member_n be_v often_o derive_v from_o behold_v other_o that_o contagious_a disease_n too_o for_o which_o

to_o some_o certain_a part_n produce_v be_v introduce_v by_o mere_a sight_n or_o imagination_n only_o 5._o again_o because_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n be_v connect_v and_o the_o exterior_a depend_v upon_o the_o interior_a these_o operation_n can_v be_v produce_v but_o that_o byconnection_n the_o exterior_a member_n must_v some_o way_n be_v change_v and_o thus_o we_o see_v all_o the_o passion_n show_v themselves_o in_o the_o countenance_n and_o action_n of_o animal_n upon_o which_o depend_v the_o principle_n of_o physiognomy_n 6._o again_o because_o usual_a motion_n render_v the_o organ_n apt_a for_o such_o motion_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o in_o generation_n the_o like_a disposition_n be_v oft_o transfer_v to_o the_o issue_n and_o the_o offspring_n become_v like_o the_o
