i_o mention_v the_o least_o weight_n for_o we_o find_v by_o ocular_a inspection_n that_o two_o dram_n and_o more_o have_v be_v empty_v by_o every_o particular_a pulse_n in_o the_o dissection_n of_o live_a dog_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o blood_n to_o be_v empty_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o man._n moreover_o if_o in_o blood-letting_a we_o consider_v the_o quantity_n of_o blood_n that_o immediate_o flow_v out_o and_o consider_v likewise_o how_o much_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o be_v circulate_v at_o the_o same_o time_n through_o myriad_o of_o other_o vein_n where_o the_o progress_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v hinder_v by_o no_o ligature_n all_o which_o blood_n pass_v through_o the_o heart_n we_o shall_v easy_o observe_v that_o in_o a_o man_n by_o each_o particular_a pulse_n not_o a_o few_o drop_n not_o a_o scruple_n not_o one_o or_o two_o dram_n but_o much_o more_o perhaps_o half_a a_o ounce_n or_o more_o be_v empty_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n into_o the_o great_a artery_n which_o be_v yet_o much_o more_o apparent_a in_o artery-cutting_a when_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o be_v empty_v out_o of_o every_o small_a artery_n cut_v by_o every_o particular_a pulse_n and_o what_o be_v empty_v by_o all_o the_o rest_n by_o the_o same_o pulse_n we_o shall_v find_v a_o vast_a quantity_n pass_v through_o the_o heart_n since_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o blood_n empty_v out_o of_o one_o aorta-artery_n out_o of_o the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o out_o of_o all_o and_o singular_a the_o artery_n derive_v from_o the_o aorta_fw-la if_o they_o be_v open_v see_v then_o that_o by_o so_o great_a a_o quantity_n neither_o the_o artery_n be_v distend_v to_o excess_n nor_o that_o any_o other_o part_n swell_v nor_o that_o the_o hollow_a or_o other_o vein_n be_v empty_v certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o blood_n empty_v into_o and_o through_o the_o artery_n flow_v back_o through_o the_o vein_n to_o the_o heart_n viii_o the_o situation_n of_o the_o valve_n valve_n in_o the_o vein_n which_o in_o all_o man_n be_v such_o that_o the_o blood_n may_v flow_v free_o through_o they_o to_o the_o hollow_a vein_n but_o nothing_o from_o the_o hollow_a vein_n to_o the_o lesser_a vein_n for_o if_o you_o blow_v into_o the_o hollow_a vein_n with_o a_o straw_n nothing_o of_o that_o breath_n will_v enter_v the_o lesser_a vein_n but_o if_o you_o blow_v the_o lesser_a vein_n the_o breath_n will_v present_o enter_v the_o great_a and_o so_o to_o the_o hollow_a ix_o the_o ligature_n in_o blood-letting_n blood-letting_a for_o the_o arm_n or_o thigh_n be_v bind_v near_o the_o place_n where_o the_o vein_n be_v to_o be_v open_v the_o ligature_n cause_v the_o vein_n to_o swell_v underneath_o because_o the_o blood_n be_v force_v through_o the_o artery_n towards_o the_o external_a part_n return_n through_o the_o vein_n and_o ascend_v upward_o and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o ligature_n there_o it_o stop_v which_o cause_v the_o vein_n to_o swell_v below_o the_o ligature_n so_o that_o the_o blood_n not_o able_a to_o ascend_v any_o far_a flow_v out_o at_o the_o little_a hole_n make_v with_o the_o lancet_n again_o the_o ligature_n be_v untie_v the_o efflux_n cease_v because_o the_o blood_n can_v then_o ascend_v more_o easy_o through_o its_o little_a pipe_n which_o be_v sufficient_o wide_a than_o issue_n forth_o at_o the_o narrow_a wound_n moreover_o if_o that_o same_o ligature_n be_v tie_v so_o hard_o that_o the_o blood_n can_v pass_v through_o the_o artery_n themselves_o towards_o the_o low_a part_n than_o nothing_o will_v issue_v forth_o neither_o because_o the_o blood_n be_v not_o force_v through_o the_o artery_n towards_o the_o low_a part_n and_o consequent_o can_v ascend_v through_o the_o vein_n to_o the_o upper_a part_n but_o loosen_v that_o ligature_n never_o so_o little_a and_o the_o pulse_n more_o free_o penetrate_v the_o artery_n present_o the_o blood_n will_v flow_v out_o of_o the_o open_a vein_n moreover_o also_o any_o ligature_n or_o compression_n of_o the_o vein_n and_o artery_n in_o live_a animal_n be_v force_v through_o the_o artery_n from_o the_o

reason_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v the_o say_a circulation_n beside_o which_o there_o be_v many_o other_o apparent_a and_o probable_a which_o here_o for_o brevity_n sake_n i_o pass_v

circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n i_o shall_v add_v one_o thing_n concern_v the_o manner_n of_o circulation_n wherein_o perhaps_o i_o shall_v differ_v from_o other_o x._o there_o be_v two_o opinion_n concern_v circulation_n the_o manner_n of_o circulation_n of_o which_o one_o be_v riolanus_n approve_v by_o few_o the_o other_o common_a which_o most_o philosopher_n maintain_v xi_o riolanus_n hold_v that_o the_o manner_n blood_n circulate_v only_o through_o the_o large_a vessel_n but_o that_o that_o which_o be_v pour_v forth_o to_o the_o lesser_a branch_n never_o return_v to_o the_o wide_a channel_n but_o be_v consume_v in_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o part_n moreover_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o first_o region_n do_v not_o circulate_a but_o be_v consume_v likewise_o in_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o part_n conceal_v therein_o but_o this_o opinion_n at_o this_o day_n be_v utter_o reject_v by_o all_o learned_a man_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v why_o the_o blood_n force_v through_o the_o artery_n in_o great_a quantity_n than_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o part_n shall_v not_o with_o equal_a necessity_n circulate_v through_o the_o small_a vein_n as_o if_o it_o be_v force_v through_o the_o great_a artery_n or_o why_o the_o blood_n force_v through_o the_o coeliac_n and_o mesenteric_a artery_n in_o great_a quantity_n to_o the_o stomach_n and_o intestine_n shall_v not_o circulate_v through_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o same_o part_n especial_o see_v that_o experience_n contradict_v he_o in_o both_o these_o case_n for_o that_o if_o you_o cut_v the_o small_a artery_n in_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o hand_n or_o foot_n more_o blood_n flow_v out_o in_o one_o hour_n than_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o whole_a hand_n or_o foot_n a_o whole_a day_n together_o and_o our_o own_o eyesight_n show_v we_o in_o the_o dissection_n of_o live_a creature_n that_o upon_o tie_v the_o mesenteric_a vessel_n the_o blood_n be_v force_v through_o the_o artery_n to_o the_o intestine_n and_o that_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n also_o flow_v back_o through_o the_o vein_n to_o the_o por●…evan_n xii_o the_o common_a manner_n affirm_v manner_n that_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o anastomosis_n of_o the_o vein_n and_o artery_n by_o which_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o artery_n be_v unite_v with_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o vein_n and_o mutual_o open_v one_o into_o another_o so_o that_o wherever_o any_o such_o anastomosis_n be_v there_o be_v also_o circulation_n i_o thence_o conclude_v that_o where_o those_o anastomosis_n be_v not_o there_o be_v no_o circulation_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a difficult_a thing_n to_o uphold_v this_o opinion_n for_o that_o those_o anastomosis_n be_v very_o few_o in_o the_o large_a vessel_n and_o though_o they_o may_v be_v more_o numerous_a in_o the_o small_a end_n of_o the_o diminutive_a vessel_n which_o however_o be_v not_o every_o where_o discernible_a to_o the_o eye_n yet_o because_o of_o the_o extraordinary_a narrowness_n of_o such_o passage_n very_o little_a blood_n can_v pass_v through_o they_o not_o the_o six_o no_o not_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o what_o be_v force_v through_o the_o artery_n can_v enter_v the_o vein_n beside_o how_o shall_v the_o part_n be_v nourish_v by_o the_o blood_n pass_v through_o those_o anastomosis_n to_o which_o there_o be_v nothing_o contribute_v in_o that_o passage_n perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v as_o much_o allow_v they_o by_o exhalation_n as_o be_v sufficient_a but_o hence_o it_o will_v follow_v in_o regard_n the_o thin_a serum_fw-la be_v most_o apt_a for_o such_o a_o exhalation_n that_o all_o the_o part_n be_v nourish_v by_o serum_fw-la because_o the_o blood_n be_v somewhat_o thick_a can_v easy_o exhale_v through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o vessel_n but_o this_o be_v absurd_a because_o the_o serum_fw-la be_v add_v to_o the_o blood_n

elevate_v a_o little_a the_o bottom_n of_o the_o right_a ventricle_n towards_o the_o basis_n and_o hence_o it_o happen_v that_o in_o contraction_n the_o heart_n in_o the_o right_a side_n come_v to_o
