be_v understand_v yet_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v he_o endeavour_v to_o evince_v a_o thickness_n of_o blood_n in_o continual_a fever_n leave_v this_o i_o go_v to_o thing_n more_o serious_a where_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o not_o improbable_a that_o one_o of_o the_o fundamental_a error_n into_o which_o the_o doctor_n himself_o have_v slip_v be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v notice_v before_o viz._n the_o draw_v of_o universal_a conclusion_n from_o particular_a proposition_n for_o by_o what_o i_o can_v learn_v from_o this_o description_n it_o be_v indeed_o very_o hard_o at_o least_o for_o i_o to_o draw_v any_o thing_n therefrom_o he_o will_v glad_o persuade_v we_o that_o obstruction_n and_o only_o they_o be_v the_o antecedent_n and_o for_o what_o i_o can_v see_v the_o conjunct_a to_o cause_v of_o fever_n the_o contrary_a of_o which_o not_o only_o innumerable_a author_n with_o infinite_a example_n have_v evince_v but_o i_o myself_o have_v show_v above_o that_o there_o can_v be_v and_o frequent_o be_v other_o three_o beside_o many_o more_o by_o i_o over_o look_v this_o be_v indeed_o a_o rock_n upon_o which_o many_o excellent_a man_n have_v split_v therefore_o to_o be_v pardon_v in_o our_o author_n and_o to_o dissuade_v he_o therefrom_o to_o the_o observation_n i_o give_v before_o i_o shall_v now_o join_v other_o two_n and_o first_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o ordinary_a as_o upon_o the_o see_a acid_n coagulate_v to_o assert_v that_o wherever_o coagulation_n happen_v there_o must_v of_o necessity_n exist_v a_o acid_n while_o yet_o after_o experience_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o alcaly_n can_v crudle_v milk_n and_o spirit_n of_o wine_n coagulate_v humane_a blood_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n practitioner_n have_v find_v the_o good_a success_n of_o acid_n at_o some_o occasion_n for_o they_o do_v it_o not_o always_o as_o poterius_n observe_v in_o quicken_a the_o digestion_n precarious_o they_o conclude_v a_o acid_n humour_n the_o principal_a agent_n in_o chylification_n yea_o as_o moebius_n observe_v it_o be_v receive_v with_o so_o general_a applause_n and_o consent_n that_o it_o become_v almost_o heresy_n to_o call_v it_o in_o question_n albeit_o late_a anatomist_n have_v not_o only_o demonstrate_v that_o alcaly_n and_o urinous_a body_n may_v have_v the_o same_o yea_o great_a effect_v but_o have_v entire_o banish_v the_o fame_a acid_n its_o fictitious_a office_n to_o shut_v up_o all_o it_o be_v this_o that_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o a_o great_a many_o error_n in_o physic_n as_o well_o as_o philosophy_n viz._n that_o phoenomena_fw-la peculiar_a to_o this_o or_o the_o other_o subject_n have_v be_v general_o apply_v to_o all_o kind_n and_o so_o from_o particular_a experiment_n and_o observation_n we_o have_v form_v universal_a hypothesis_n second_o i_o can_v conceive_v how_o obstruction_n can_v be_v either_o so_o efficacious_a or_o so_o frequent_a as_o the_o doctor_n insinuate_v i_o shall_v not_o make_v use_n of_o the_o ordinary_a objection_n which_o nevertheless_o of_o no_o small_a force_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o obstruction_n without_o a_o subsequent_a tumour_n however_o i_o wish_v the_o doctor_n have_v tell_v we_o in_o which_o of_o the_o vessel_n i_o mean_v artery_n or_o vein_n these_o obstruction_n fall_v out_o for_o first_o it_o be_v to_o i_o unconceivable_a how_o they_o can_v be_v in_o the_o artery_n see_v nothing_o enter_v they_o that_o have_v not_o first_o run_v through_o the_o small_a milky_a vessel_n from_o thence_o to_o the_o ductus_fw-la thoracicus_n which_o empty_v itself_o in_o the_o subclavial_a vein_n and_o that_o again_o by_o the_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la into_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v convey_v to_o the_o lung_n by_o the_o pulmonal_a artery_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o the_o heart_n leave_v ventricle_n by_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o same_o name_n from_o which_o as_o from_o a_o fountain_n it_o be_v dispense_v to_o the_o whole_a body_n by_o the_o great_a artery_n and_o its_o branch_n all_o which_o be_v consider_v may_v not_o i_o reasonable_o argue_v that_o sure_o whatsoever_o have_v pass_v these_o small_a lymphaticks_n common_o call_v the_o milky_a vessel_n and_o the_o capillary_a branch_n of_o the_o pulmonal_a vein_n will_n never_o stick_v in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o great_a artery_n especial_o when_o its_o strong_a and_o frequent_a vibration_n do_v afford_v great_a assistance_n to_o this_o its_o motion_n yea_o without_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o the_o whole_a branch_n it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a that_o any_o obstruction_n can_v happen_v in_o the_o minute_a artery_n the_o same_o difficulty_n if_o not_o great_a will_v meet_v we_o in_o the_o vein_n which_o be_v the_o other_o kind_n of_o vessel_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v their_o figure_n we_o find_v it_o a_o cone_n invert_v now_o no_o man_n of_o sense_n will_v allege_v that_o what_o have_v enter_v the_o small_a end_n of_o a_o cone_n as_o the_o blood_n do_v in_o the_o vein_n will_v stop_v in_o the_o great_a ergo_fw-la the_o doctor_n be_v obstruction_n must_v be_v deny_v several_a other_o observation_n may_v safe_o be_v make_v on_o this_o paradoxical_a as_o he_o himself_o p._n 109_o just_o call_v it_o hypothesis_n but_o i_o shall_v detain_v the_o reader_n no_o long_o only_o i_o can_v omit_v that_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 8_o sect._n he_o persuade_v himself_o that_o the_o rapid_a circula●ion_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v whole_o overturn_v and_o yet_o p._n 105_o where_o he_o be_v give_v that_o which_o he_o will_v have_v we_o digest_v for_o a_o new_a scheme_n of_o fever_n he_o bold_o and_o as_o i_o think_v contradictorly_n affirm_v the_o heart_n to_o redouble_v its_o pulsation_n which_o how_o it_o can_v happen_v ingenuous_o i_o nor_o i_o suppose_v none_o else_o can_v conceive_v yea_o it_o be_v clear_o repugnant_a to_o reason_n and_o the_o circulation_n nevertheless_o i_o see_v by_o the_o 27_o p_o of_o philanders_n second_o letter_n that_o the_o doctor_n will_v needs_o defend_v it_o what_o d._n black_a or_o any_o who_o carry_v that_o name_n may_v have_v say_v against_o it_o i_o be_o whole_o ignorant_a these_o book_n have_v never_o come_v to_o my_o hand_n but_o what_o i_o shall_v do_v shall_v be_v only_o this_o to_o give_v a_o brief_a account_n of_o the_o heart_n motion_n and_o its_o cause_n and_o so_o leave_v the_o doctor_n and_o other_o to_o judge_v how_o reconcilable_a these_o two_o be_v for_o the_o heart_n to_o double_v its_o pulsation_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o accelerate_v the_o blood_n circulation_n the_o blood_n that_o enter_v the_o right_a and_o left_a ventricles_n of_o the_o heart_n from_o the_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la but_o especial_o pulmoner_n do_v stimulate_v its_o fiber_n by_o which_o stipulation_n the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v bring_v from_o the_o brain_n by_o the_o eight_o or_o wander_a pair_n of_o nerve_n and_o

fiber_n be_v in_o the_o diastole_n which_o blood_n do_v a_o new_a stimulate_v as_o former_o and_o so_o procure_v to_o the_o heart_n a_o new_a systole_n under_o which_o the_o blood_n be_v again_o thrust_v forth_o into_o the_o artery_n and_o occasion_v in_o they_o a_o diastole_n or_o beat_v so_o that_o the_o artery_n will_v never_o be_v distend_v except_o the_o blood_n be_v admit_v for_o they_o can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o own_o systole_n but_o never_o of_o their_o diastole_n now_o how_o can_v a_o man_n aver_v that_o the_o heart_n can_v double_v its_o pulsation_n and_o yet_o not_o
