our_o engine_n seem_v manifest_o for_o a_o pretty_a while_n and_o not_o long_o before_o he_o die_v to_o move_v his_o thorax_n as_o if_o he_o exercise_v respiration_n the_o diligent_a wallaeus_n

discharge_v by_o cough_v and_o i_o remember_v too_o that_o most_o of_o the_o animal_n we_o kill_v in_o our_o engine_n be_v bird_n of_o who_o lung_n harvey_n somewhere_o inform_v we_o that_o he_o

be_v suppose_v to_o have_v be_v kill_v by_o the_o want_n of_o air_n we_o foresee_v another_o argument_n that_o we_o must_v deal_v so_o ingenious_o with_o your_o lordship_n as_o not_o to_o conceal_v you_o very_o well_o know_v that_o beside_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o school_n there_o be_v many_o new_a philosopher_n who_o though_o they_o dissent_v from_o the_o old_a peripatetic_n in_o other_o thing_n do_v as_o they_o deny_v the_o possibility_n of_o a_o vacuum_n and_o hold_v that_o those_o space_n which_o be_v devoid_a of_o air_n and_o other_o grosser_n body_n be_v all_o of_o they_o exact_o replenish_v with_o a_o certain_a etherial_a matter_n so_o thin_a and_o subtle_a that_o it_o can_v free_o permeate_n the_o pore_n of_o the_o compactedst_a and_o close_a body_n and_o even_o of_o glass_n itself_o now_o some_o of_o those_o naturalist_n that_o be_v of_o this_o persuasion_n may_v object_v that_o the_o animal_n that_o die_v in_o our_o receiver_n do_v so_o not_o so_o much_o for_o lack_v of_o air_n as_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o air_n that_o be_v pump_v out_o be_v necessary_o succeed_v by_o a_o etherial_a substance_n which_o consist_v of_o part_n vehement_o agitate_a and_o so_o very_o small_a as_o without_o resistance_n to_o pass_v in_o and_o out_o through_o the_o very_a pore_n of_o glass_n it_o may_v well_o be_v suppose_v that_o a_o considerable_a quantity_n of_o this_o restless_a and_o subtle_a matter_n meet_v together_o in_o the_o receiver_n with_o the_o excessive_a heat_n of_o it_o may_v be_v quick_o able_a to_o destroy_v a_o little_a animal_n or_o at_o least_o

our_o engine_n yet_o i_o suppose_v we_o have_v already_o answer_v the_o objection_n by_o our_o 38_o and_o 39_o experiment_n which_o though_o we_o make_v partly_o for_o other_o purpose_n yet_o we_o premise_v they_o only_o to_o clear_v up_o the_o difficulty_n propose_v another_o suspicion_n we_o shall_v have_v entertain_v concern_v the_o death_n of_o our_o animal_n namely_o that_o upon_o the_o

not_o now_o dwell_v upon_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n because_o i_o think_v it_o high_a time_n to_o proceed_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o principal_a subject_n of_o our_o engine_n

but_o this_o hypothesis_n may_v be_v explicate_v two_o way_n for_o first_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o air_n in_o respiration_n may_v be_v suppose_v to_o proceed_v from_o hence_o that_o as_o a_o flame_n can_v long_o burn_v in_o a_o narrow_a and_o close_a place_n because_o the_o fuliginous_a steam_n it_o incessant_o throw_v out_o can_v be_v long_o receive_v into_o the_o ambient_fw-la body_n which_o after_o a_o while_n grow_v too_o full_a of_o they_o to_o admit_v any_o more_o stifle_v the_o flame_n so_o that_o the_o vital_a fire_n in_o the_o heart_n require_v a_o ambient_fw-la body_n of_o a_o yield_a nature_n to_o receive_v into_o it_o the_o superfluous_a serosity_n and_o other_o recrement_n of_o the_o blood_n who_o seasonable_a expulsion_n be_v requisite_a to_o depurate_a the_o mass_n of_o blood_n and_o make_v it_o fit_a both_o to_o circulate_v and_o to_o maintain_v the_o vital_a heat_n reside_v in_o the_o heart_n the_o other_o way_n of_o explicate_v the_o abovementioned_a hypothesis_n be_v by_o suppose_v that_o the_o air_n do_v not_o only_o as_o a_o receptacle_n admit_v into_o its_o pore_n the_o excrementitious_a vapour_n of_o the_o blood_n when_o they_o be_v expel_v through_o the_o windpipe_n but_o do_v also_o convey_v they_o out_o of_o the_o lung_n in_o regard_n that_o the_o inspire_a air_n reach_v to_o all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o aspera_fw-la ateria_fw-la do_v there_o associate_v itself_o with_o the_o exhalation_n of_o the_o circulate_v blood_n and_o when_o it_o be_v explode_v carry_v they_o away_o with_o itself_o as_o we_o see_v that_o wind_n speedy_o

the_o air._n now_o of_o these_o two_o way_n of_o explicate_v the_o use_n of_o respiration_n our_o engine_n afford_v we_o this_o objection_n against_o the_o first_o that_o upon_o the_o exsuction_n of_o the_o air_n the_o animal_n die_v a_o great_a deal_n soon_o than_o if_o it_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o vessel_n though_o by_o that_o exsuction_n the_o ambient_fw-la space_n be_v leave_v much_o more_o free_a to_o receive_v the_o steam_n that_o be_v either_o breathe_v out_o of_o the_o lung_n of_o the_o animal_n or_o discharge_v by_o insensible_a transpiration_n through_o the_o pore_n of_o his_o skin_n but_o if_o the_o hypothesis_n propose_v be_v take_v in_o the_o other_o sense_n it_o seem_v congruous_a enough_o to_o that_o grand_a observation_n which_o partly_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o our_o

it_o be_v too_o thick_a and_o already_o overcharge_v with_o vapour_n it_o will_v be_v unfit_a to_o unite_v with_o and_o carry_v off_o those_o of_o the_o blood_n as_o water_n will_v dissolve_v and_o

too_o small_a to_o be_v able_a to_o assume_v and_o carry_v off_o the_o halituous_a excrement_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o such_o plenty_n as_o be_v requisite_a now_o that_o air_n too_o much_o thicken_v and_o as_o it_o be_v clog_v with_o steam_n be_v unfit_a for_o respiration_n may_v appear_v by_o what_o be_v wont_a to_o happen_v in_o the_o lead-mine_n of_o devonshire_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v

so_o onward_o the_o propulsion_n it_o continue_v till_o the_o air_n be_v drive_v into_o the_o lung_n and_o so_o dilate_v they_o when_o this_o i_o say_v be_v answer_v it_o be_v object_v even_o by_o

that_o in_o the_o case_n propose_v there_o need_v not_o be_v make_v any_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o ordinary_a respiration_n there_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v make_v some_o propulsion_n of_o the_o air_n by_o the_o swell_a thorax_n or_o abdomen_fw-la into_o the_o lung_n since_o upon_o the_o bare_a dilatation_n of_o the_o thorax_n the_o spring_n of_o that_o internal_a air_n or_o halituous_a

may_v derive_v a_o new_a assistance_n to_o judge_v of_o that_o famous_a controversy_n dispute_v among_o naturalist_n and_o physician_n ever_o since_o galen_n time_n some_o maintain_v that_o the_o

that_o it_o like_o a_o pair_n of_o bellows_o happen_v to_o be_v partly_o fill_v with_o air_n but_o because_o it_o be_v dilate_v but_o as_o for_o the_o lung_n themselves_o who_o want_n fibres_n to_o
