while_o in_o the_o womb_n be_v most_o probable_a that_o all_o viperous_a creature_n after_o the_o birth_n can_v live_v long_o without_o breath_n be_v most_o certain_a yet_o i_o do_v not_o find_v the_o

for_o cool_v the_o heart_n next_o that_o it_o yield_v matter_n for_o production_n of_o new_a vital_a spirit_n and_o last_o that_o it_o discharge_v the_o lung_n of_o a_o fuliginous_a excrement_n which_o seem_v to_o transsude_v from_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n into_o the_o branch_n of_o the_o rough_a artery_n that_o the_o heart_n be_v cool_v by_o breathe_v be_v very_o probable_a but_o not_o immediate_o for_o the_o air_n go_v no_o far_o than_o the_o lung_n first_o cool_v they_o next_o the_o blood_n in_o they_o and_o consequent_o the_o heart_n become_v less_o hot_a than_o otherwise_o it_o will_v be_v but_o this_o be_v in_o effect_n no_o more_o than_o be_v obtain_v by_o bathe_v the_o limb_n in_o cold_a water_n which_o do_v a_o together_o if_o n●t_o more_o effectual_o cool_v the_o mass_n of_o blood_n as_o much_o as_o the_o air_n in_o breathe_v can_v be_v conceive_v to_o do_v it_o and_o yet_o bathe_v will_n in_o no_o wise_n become_v a_o substitute_n to_o breathe_v nor_o do_v the_o generation_n of_o vital_a spirit_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a use_n of_o the_o air_n in_o breathe_v in_o regard_n it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o conceive_v any_o such_o contrivance_n in_o the_o lung_n that_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o let_n in_o of_o air_n into_o the_o vein_n and_o artery_n which_o contain_v the_o blood_n without_o endanger_v contrariwise_o the_o effusion_n of_o that_o precious_a juice_n much_o less_o have_v anatomy_n as_o yet_o discover_v any_o such_o passage_n unto_o we_o last_o as_o i_o shall_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o lung_n do_v discharge_v themselves_o of_o a_o fuliginous_a excrement_n by_o breathe_v so_o i_o think_v it_o as_o true_a that_o this_o be_v none_o of_o the_o principal_a use_n of_o respiration_n nor_o be_v it_o at_o all_o likely_a that_o either_o the_o heart_n shall_v grow_v so_o hot_a or_o that_o the_o vital_a spirit_n shall_v vanish_v so_o fast_o or_o the_o fuliginous_a excrement_n be_v accumulate_v in_o that_o quantity_n upon_o the_o intermission_n of_o breathe_v for_o a_o short_a time_n only_o as_o to_o endanger_v our_o life_n beyond_o recovery_n as_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o respiration_n will_v seem_v to_o enforce_v before_o i_o come_v to_o deliver_v my_o own_o opinion_n i_o shall_v make_v a_o slight_a digression_n concern_v the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n which_o will_v not_o a_o little_a illustrate_v what_o we_o be_v about_o to_o say_v concern_v this_o subject_a 2._o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o animal_n that_o the_o blood_n be_v move_v from_o the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n through_o the_o great_a artery_n into_o all_o its_o branch_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v bring_v back_o by_o the_o small_a vein_n which_o discharge_v themselves_o into_o the_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la from_o whence_o it_o be_v return_v into_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v send_v by_o the_o vena_fw-la arteriosa_fw-la into_o the_o lung_n and_o so_o bring_v back_o again_o into_o the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o arteria_fw-la venosa_fw-la and_o in_o this_o circular_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n life_n chief_o consist_v and_o if_o the_o same_o by_o any_o chance_n shall_v cease_v or_o intermit_v though_o but_o for_o a_o very_a small_a time_n less_o than_o a_o minute_n death_n will_v unavoidable_o follow_v in_o this_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n it_o be_v observable_a first_o that_o as_o the_o pulsation_n of_o the_o heart_n send_v it_o through_o the_o artery_n into_o the_o whole_a habit_n of_o the_o body_n so_o the_o return_n of_o it_o by_o the_o vein_n seem_v to_o depend_v chief_o upon_o the_o tonical_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n for_o the_o part_n be_v extend_v by_o the_o flow_a in_o of_o the_o blood_n somewhat_o beyond_o their_o tone_n do_v again_o gentle_o subside_o and_o thereby_o continue_v the_o intend_a course_n of_o the_o blood_n towards_o the_o heart_n again_o a_o argument_n hereof_o be_v that_o all_o paralytic_a part_n grow_v immediate_o cold_a and_o that_o for_o no_o other_o reason_n than_o that_o the_o tonical_a motion_n together_o with_o the_o power_n locomotive_a cease_v the_o circulation_n be_v either_o very_o weak_o or_o not_o at_o all_o perform_v through_o that_o part_n which_o then_o grow_v cold_a for_o want_v of_o that_o constant_a fresh_a supply_n of_o blood_n which_o former_o keep_v it_o warm_a but_o herein_o the_o tonical_a motion_n be_v not_o a_o little_a help_v by_o exercise_n and_o labour_n which_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n to_o cause_v the_o heart_n to_o beat_v quick_a and_o often_o as_o also_o to_o induce_v a_o necessity_n of_o breathe_v more_o frequent_o and_o this_o it_o do_v no_o otherwise_o than_o by_o accelerate_v this_o circular_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n which_o then_o enforce_v the_o heart_n and_o lung_n to_o double_a duty_n our_o second_o observable_a in_o this_o circular_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v that_o there_o pass_v as_o much_o blood_n from_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n into_o the_o ●u●gs_n at_o every_o pulse_n take_v one_o time_n with_o another_o as_o be_v send_v from_o the_o left_a ventricle_n into_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n beside_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o the_o left_a ventricle_n be_v supply_v from_o the_o lung_n only_o and_o the_o lung_n receive_v it_o not_o elsewhere_o than_o from_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o to_o continue_v this_o circular_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n it_o be_v necessary_a the_o supply_n neither_o exceed_v nor_o come_v short_a of_o that_o quantity_n dispense_v from_o the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n into_o the_o whole_a body_n the_o lung_n except_v from_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o flow_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o blood_n by_o many_o degree_n into_o the_o lung_n than_o what_o be_v sufficient_a for_o its_o own_o private_a use_n as_o also_o that_o the_o blood_n in_o the_o lung_n must_v of_o necessity_n move_v very_o much_o fast_o than_o it_o do_v in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n though_o we_o take_v for_o example_n the_o great_a vein_n or_o artery_n themselves_o and_o that_o in_o the_o same_o proportion_n as_o the_o vena_fw-la arteriosa_fw-la and_o arteria_fw-la venosa_fw-la be_v small_a than_o the_o trunk_n of_o the_o foresay_a great_a vessel_n for_o let_v the_o same_o quantity_n of_o liquor_n be_v convey_v through_o a_o pipe_n who_o capacity_n be_v but_o one_o four_o or_o one_o ten_o so_o big_a as_o another_o pipe_n through_o which_o the_o like_a quantity_n must_v pass_v in_o the_o same_o time_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o liquor_n must_v run_v four_o time_n or_o ten_o time_n as_o fast_o through_o the_o small_a pipe_n as_o it_o do_v through_o the_o great_a and_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o a_o very_a considerable_a part_n of_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n be_v continual_o run_v through_o the_o parenchyma_n of_o the_o lung_n and_o that_o at_o a_o much_o swift_a rate_n than_o it_o do_v through_o any_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n beside_o 3._o far_o before_o we_o proceed_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o use_n of_o respiration_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o consider_v what_o kind_n of_o motion_n that_o be_v which_o the_o lung_n be_v exercise_v with_o in_o breathe_v nor_o be_v it_o any_o other_o than_o a_o motion_n of_o dilatation_n and_o constriction_n whereby_o the_o lung_n be_v reciprocal_o open_v and_o shut_v somewhat_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o pair_n of_o organ-bellow_n the_o air_n enter_v into_o they_o when_o dilate_a or_o open_v and_o recede_v again_o upon_o their_o subside_v and_o this_o be_v what_o we_o call_v respiration_n nor_o yet_o do_v this_o reciprocation_n of_o the_o lung_n proceed_v from_o any_o power_n to_o move_v they_o be_v endow_v with_o of_o themselves_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o frame_n and_o structure_n of_o they_o they_o will_v appear_v of_o a_o parenchymous_n kind_n of_o substance_n not_o much_o unlike_o the_o liver_n and_o altogether_o void_a of_o muscle_n without_o which_o no_o local_a motion_n can_v be_v perform_v we_o may_v conclude_v therefore_o that_o the_o lung_n be_v move_v by_o consent_n and_o that_o chief_o of_o the_o diaphragme_n or_o midriff_n in_o a_o free_a and_o ordinary_a breathe_n but_o in_o any_o difficulty_n of_o breathe_v as_o in_o the_o asthma_n tabes_fw-la violent_a exercise_n etc._n etc._n not_o only_o the_o midriff_n but_o almost_o all_o the_o muscle_n of_o the_o
their_o burden_n and_o in_o case_n of_o hang_v or_o strangle_v let_v of_o blood_n in_o great_a quantity_n have_v sometime_o save_v man_n life_n that_o have_v be_v execute_v and_o this_o by_o no_o other_o way_n that_o i_o can_v think_v of_o than_o by_o help_v to_o discharge_v the_o lung_n of_o their_o oppression_n as_o have_v be_v already_o say_v 8._o and_o thus_o we_o have_v if_o our_o opinion_n fail_v we_o not_o discover_v the_o true_a use_n of_o respiration_n we_o have_v also_o of_o consequence_n free_v the_o heart_n of_o almost_o one_o half_a of_o the_o task_n impose_v on_o it_o by_o the_o modern_a physician_n for_o since_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n viz._n first_o the_o convey_v it_o from_o the_o heart_n or_o centre_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n as_o to_o a_o kind_n of_o natural_a circumference_n and_o second_o the_o return_v or_o bring_v back_o of_o the_o blood_n again_o to_o the_o heart_n the_o first_o part_n we_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o second_o part_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o work_n of_o every_o particular_a member_n to_o discharge_v itself_o of_o its_o own_o superfluity_n for_o which_o purpose_n nature_n have_v endue_v they_o with_o a_o tone_n or_o tonical_a motion_n sufficient_a for_o that_o service_n the_o lung_n only_o except_v wherein_o nature_n have_v worthy_o

the_o return_v of_o the_o blood_n to_o the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n seem_v to_o equal_v that_o of_o the_o tone_n or_o tonical_a motion_n of_o all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o

property_n of_o fermentation_n be_v these_o that_o the_o mass_n so_o ferment_v suffer_v a_o eminent_a alteration_n in_o all_o its_o usual_a way_n of_o affect_v our_o sense_n as_o well_o in_o its_o

that_o ripen_v it_o at_o last_o arrive_v at_o corruption_n and_o so_o change_v both_o its_o name_n and_o nature_n together_o 4_o another_o eminent_a property_n of_o fermentation_n be_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o body_n ferment_v do_v occupy_v more_o space_n than_o the_o same_o do_v before_o which_o be_v very_o evident_a in_o the_o drown_a body_n of_o man_n or_o other_o animal_n

the_o break_n of_o the_o gall_n become_v the_o
trunk_n of_o the_o body_n namely_o those_o of_o the_o belly_n chest_n and_o shoulder_n seem_v to_o afford_v their_o assistance_n in_o this_o great_a work_n of_o respiration_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o

you_o see_v that_o as_o the_o construction_n of_o the_o midriff_n so_o be_v its_o motion_n somewhat_o different_a from_o that_o of_o other_o muscle_n which_o as_o be_v well_o know_v we_o shall_v not_o

ascribe_v the_o reduction_n of_o it_o again_o into_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o tonical_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n where_o yet_o as_o we_o have_v say_v the_o blood_n
