the_o heart_n then_o have_v be_v form_v and_o constitute_v before_o the_o blood_n be_v in_o be_v but_o here_o again_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o heart_n itself_o be_v most_o certain_o make_v and_o nourish_v by_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v convey_v to_o it_o by_o the_o coronary_a artery_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v through_o the_o whole_a system_fw-la of_o the_o body_n every_o member_n do_v mutual_o sustain_v and_o supply_v one_o another_o faetûs_fw-la and_o all_o be_v coaetaneous_a because_o none_o of_o they_o can_v subsist_v alone_o but_o they_o will_v say_v that_o a_o little_a ferment_n first_o make_v a_o cavity_n which_o become_v the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n do_v thence_o further_o expand_v itself_o and_o thereby_o delineate_v all_o the_o artery_n of_o the_o body_n now_o if_o such_o a_o slight_a and_o sorry_a business_n as_o that_o can_v produce_v a_o organical_a body_n one_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v that_o now_o and_o then_o a_o dead_a lump_n of_o doughty_n may_v be_v leaven_v into_o a_o animal_n for_o there_o a_o like_a ferment_n make_v notable_a tumor_n and_o ventricles_n beside_o sundry_a long_a and_o small_a channel_n which_o may_v pass_v tolerable_o well_o for_o artery_n and_o vein_n but_o i_o pray_v in_o this_o suppose_a mechanical_a formation_n when_o the_o ferment_n be_v expanded_a to_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o artery_n if_o it_o still_o have_v any_o elastical_a force_n remain_v why_o do_v it_o not_o go_v on_o and_o break_v through_o the_o receptacle_n as_o other_o ferment_n must_v be_v allow_v to_o have_v do_v at_o the_o mouth_n and_o the_o nostril_n there_o be_v as_o yet_o no_o membranous_a skin_n form_v that_o may_v stop_v and_o repel_v it_o or_o if_o the_o force_n of_o it_o be_v spend_v and_o do_v not_o wheel_v about_o and_o return_v what_o mechanical_a cause_n than_o shall_v we_o assign_v for_o the_o vein_n for_o this_o ferment_n be_v there_o suppose_a to_o have_v proceed_v from_o the_o small_a capillary_a extremity_n of_o they_o to_o the_o great_a vein_n and_o the_o heart_n otherwise_o it_o make_v valve_n which_o will_v have_v stop_v its_o own_o passage_n and_o why_o do_v that_o ferment_n that_o at_o first_o disperse_v itself_o from_o the_o great_a artery_n into_o infinite_a little_a ramification_n take_v a_o quite_o contrary_a method_n in_o the_o make_n of_o the_o vein_n where_o innumerable_a little_a rivulet_n have_v their_o confluence_n into_o the_o great_a vein_n the_o common_a channel_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v such_o opposite_a motion_n both_o equal_o mechanical_a when_o in_o both_o case_n the_o matter_n be_v under_o the_o same_o modification_n and_o again_o when_o the_o first_o ferment_n be_v excite_v and_o form_n the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n if_o the_o fluid_a matter_n be_v uniform_a and_o of_o a_o similar_v texture_n and_o therefore_o on_o all_o side_n equal_o resist_v the_o expansion_n then_o the_o cavity_n must_v continue_v one_o dilate_v more_o and_o more_o till_o the_o expansive_a force_n and_o the_o uniform_a resistance_n be_v reduce_v to_o a_o equality_n and_o so_o nothing_o at_o all_o can_v be_v form_v by_o this_o ferment_n but_o a_o single_a round_a bubble_n and_o moreover_o this_o bubble_n if_o that_o can_v make_v a_o heart_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o comparative_a levity_n to_o the_o fluid_a that_o enclose_v it_o will_v necessary_o ascend_v to_o the_o top_n and_o consequent_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v the_o heart_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o breast_n but_o if_o the_o fluid_n be_v suppose_v to_o consist_v of_o heterogeneous_a particle_n than_o we_o can_v conceive_v how_o those_o dissimilar_v part_n shall_v have_v a_o like_a situation_n in_o two_o several_a fluid_n when_o the_o ferment_n begin_v so_o that_o upon_o this_o supposition_n there_o can_v be_v no_o species_n of_o animal_n nor_o any_o similitude_n between_o they_o one_o will_v have_v its_o lung_n where_o another_o have_v its_o liver_n and_o all_o the_o other_o member_n preposterous_o place_v there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o like_a configuration_n of_o part_n in_o any_o two_o individual_n and_o again_o what_o be_v that_o which_o determine_v the_o growth_n of_o all_o live_a creature_n what_o principle_n of_o mechanism_n be_v sufficient_a to_o explain_v it_o why_o do_v not_o all_o animal_n continual_o increase_v in_o bigness_n during_o the_o whole_a space_n of_o their_o life_n as_o it_o be_v report_v of_o the_o crocodile_n what_o set_v a_o bind_v to_o their_o stature_n and_o dimension_n or_o if_o we_o suppose_v a_o bind_v and_o ne_fw-fr plus_fw-fr ultra_fw-la to_o be_v mechanical_o fix_v but_o then_o why_o so_o great_a a_o variety_n in_o the_o bulk_n of_o the_o several_a kind_n why_o also_o such_o constancy_n observe_v in_o that_o manifold_a variety_n for_o as_o some_o of_o the_o large_a tree_n have_v seed_n no_o big_a or_o even_o less_o than_o some_o diminutive_a plant_n and_o yet_o every_o seed_n be_v a_o perfect_a plant_n with_o trunk_n and_o branch_n and_o leave_n enclose_v in_o a_o shell_n so_o the_o first_o embryon_n of_o a_o ant_n be_v suppose_v by_o inquisitive_a 3._o naturalist_n to_o be_v as_o big_a as_o that_o of_o a_o elephant_n and_o to_o promise_v as_o fair_a at_o its_o primitive_a formation_n for_o as_o spacious_a a_o body_n which_o nevertheless_o by_o a_o immutable_a decree_n can_v never_o arrive_v to_o the_o millionth_n part_n of_o the_o other_o bulk_n and_o what_o modification_n of_o the_o first_o liquid_a matter_n can_v vary_v so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v one_o embryon_n capable_a of_o so_o prodigious_o vast_a augmentation_n while_o another_o be_v confine_v to_o the_o minuteness_n of_o a_o insect_n be_v not_o this_o manifest_o a_o divine_a sanction_n that_o have_v fix_v and_o

affair_n of_o a_o organical_a formation_n and_o i_o profess_v that_o i_o can_v discern_v one_o step_n in_o the_o whole_a that_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o natural_a law_n of_o motion_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o heart_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v the_o first_o principle_n of_o motion_n and_o life_n and_o divide_v it_o by_o our_o imagination_n into_o its_o constituent_a part_n its_o artery_n and_o vein_n and_o nerve_n and_o tendon_n and_o membrane_n and_o innumerable_a little_a fibre_n that_o these_o secondary_a part_n do_v consist_v of_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o here_o

figure_n when_o as_o yet_o no_o other_o member_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v form_v that_o may_v direct_v the_o course_n of_o that_o fluid_a matter_n let_v mechanism_n here_o make_v a_o experiment_n of_o

supernatural_a and_o divine_a principle_n we_o do_v willing_o admit_v of_o mechanism_n in_o many_o function_n of_o the_o body_n but_o that_o the_o organ_n themselves_o shall_v be_v mechanical_o form_v we_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a and_o utter_o inexplicable_a and_o if_o any_o atheist_n will_v give_v a_o clear_a and_o philosophical_a account_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v here_o
