pulse_n be_v never_o alter_v neither_o be_v there_o any_o sign_n of_o it_o to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o pulse_n and_o these_o be_v demonstrative_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o heart_n to_o defend_v itself_o powerful_o from_o the_o malignity_n of_o this_o disease_n and_o this_o defensive_a power_n according_a to_o my_o opinion_n must_v principal_o depend_v upon_o the_o power_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n which_o be_v more_o robu_v than_o the_o natural_a spirit_n as_o do_v appear_v by_o their_o contain_v vessel_n of_o each_o for_o the_o artery_n that_o contain_v the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v double_a coated_a else_o the_o spirit_n contain_v in_o they_o will_v make_v eruption_n through_o they_o because_o of_o their_o inherent_a force_n and_o the_o vein_n but_o single_a coated_a because_o their_o spirit_n in_o activity_n and_o strength_n be_v so_o much_o less_o than_o be_v the_o vital_a and_o by_o the_o force_n of_o this_o vital_a spirit_n the_o heart_n be_v defend_v against_o the_o invasion_n of_o this_o pest_n and_o by_o this_o vital_a spirit_n the_o heart_n defend_v itself_o against_o the_o assault_n of_o choler_n which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o enemy_n to_o it_o according_a to_o arist._n 4._o the_o part_n animal_n and_o yet_o this_o question_n be_v not_o clear_v from_o the_o exception_n of_o many_o physician_n who_o reasonable_o do_v affirm_v the_o generation_n of_o vital_a spirit_n to_o proceed_v from_o the_o natural_a and_o if_o the_o natural_a spirit_n have_v receive_v contamination_n how_o shall_v the_o vital_a spirit_n which_o be_v beget_v of_o they_o be_v free_a from_o pollution_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o but_o from_o the_o purification_n they_o receive_v from_o the_o heart_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o gold_n be_v separate_v from_o dross_n and_o other_o alien_n tincture_n by_o the_o activity_n of_o ●ire_n so_o also_o do_v the_o heart_n by_o its_o cordial_a fire_n inherent_a in_o itself_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v the_o natural_a spirit_n from_o all_o pollution_n and_o the_o heart_n by_o its_o own_o power_n descend_v itself_o from_o the_o contamination_n of_o this_o disease_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n in_o chief_a why_o this_o disease_n of_o itself_o do_v not_o kill_v the_o person_n affect_v with_o it_o quest_n ix_o whether_o this_o disease_n be_v the_o proper_a disease_n of_o one_o particular_a region_n that_o
