seem_v to_o be_v determine_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o affirmative_a by_o what_o the_o learned_a dr._n highmore_n and_o bartholinus_n have_v observe_v the_o former_a have_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o

take_v from_o our_o engine_n since_o it_o appear_v that_o if_o the_o lung_n be_v dilate_v by_o the_o thorax_n the_o spring_n of_o the_o air_n be_v sufficient_a to_o force_v it_o in_o there_o be_v less_o resistance_n make_v by_o the_o rarify_v air_n in_o the_o lung_n than_o that_o in_o the_o open_a atmosphere_n and_o though_o there_o be_v some_o observation_n which_o testify_v that_o when_o the_o diaphragm_n have_v be_v considerable_o wound_v without_o damage_v respiration_n yet_o since_o the_o lung_n be_v void_a of_o musculous_a part_n to_o dilate_v themselves_o we_o be_v rather_o

the_o use_v of_o air_n in_o respiration_n beside_o the_o usefulness_n of_o it_o in_o modulate_a sound_n and_o the_o convey_v of_o odour_n it_o be_v beyond_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o great_a

since_o there_o appear_v no_o such_o passage_n as_o be_v fit_a for_o its_o conveyance_n we_o shall_v not_o here_o recite_v what_o other_o argument_n may_v be_v allege_v against_o it_o but_o other_o

a_o further_a argument_n of_o a_o antiperistasis_n it_o be_v urge_v that_o in_o the_o summer_n the_o low_a and_o three_o region_n of_o the_o air_n be_v hot_a and_o the_o middlemost_a cold_a which_o to_o i_o seem_v rather_o assert_v than_o prove_v for_o not_o to_o insist_v on_o this_o viz._n that_o according_a to_o the_o peripatetic_n the_o natural_a state_n of_o the_o air_n be_v hot_a i_o see_v not_o how_o it_o shall_v be_v cold_a in_o summer_n nor_o can_v i_o see_v why_o the_o three_o region_n shall_v be_v so_o hot_a since_o it_o lie_v so_o far_o from_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o
