the_o motion_n of_o the_o arm_n must_v needs_o be_v voluntary_a it_o be_v true_a that_o we_o move_v our_o arm_n so_o ready_o that_o it_o seem_v at_o first_o sight_n incredible_a that_o the_o course_n

or_o to_o lift_v up_o from_o the_o ground_n something_o very_a light_n for_o we_o can_v raise_v great_a weight_n very_o ready_o because_o that_o effort_n require_v a_o great_a stretch_n and_o swell_v of_o the_o muscle_n which_o can_v be_v perform_v by_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o the_o neighbour_a or_o antagonist_n muscle_n and_o therefore_o some_o time_n be_v require_v to_o call_v in_o

the_o fund_z of_o the_o eye_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n pass_v through_o a_o convex_a burn_a glass_n reunite_v in_o the_o focus_n or_o in_o the_o burn_a point_n of_o

we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v from_o this_o experiment_n that_o if_o the_o optic_a nerve_n be_v black_a and_o the_o pupil_n or_o the_o aperture_n of_o the_o wea_fw-mi through_o which_o the_o light_n enter_v into_o the_o eye_n shall_v widen_v and_o enlarge_v itself_o to_o take_v in_o free_o the_o solary_a ray_n instead_o of_o which_o it_o contract_v and_o straiten_n itself_o to_o prevent_v their_o

to_o be_v speedy_o break_v and_o burn_v in_o piece_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o generality_n of_o man_n feel_v great_a pain_n in_o behold_v the_o sun_n for_o a_o moment_n because_o they_o can_v so_o close_o shut_v the_o aperture_n of_o the_o pupil_n but_o there_o will_v still_o pass_v ray_n enough_o to_o agitate_v the_o fibre_n of_o the_o optic_a nerve_n so_o violent_o as_o to_o give_v we_o reason_n to_o apprehend_v their_o break_n the_o soul_n be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o all_o this_o we_o have_v say_v and_o when_o she_o behold_v the_o sun_n she_o neither_o

she_o fall_v into_o be_v she_o judge_v the_o pain_n she_o feel_v to_o be_v in_o the_o eye_n if_o instant_o upon_o a_o man_n behold_v the_o sun_n he_o withdraw_v into_o a_o dark_a place_n with_o his_o eye_n open_a that_o concussion_n of_o the_o fibre_n of_o the_o optic_a nerve_n cause_v by_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n decrease_v and_o wear_v off_o by_o little_a and_o little_a and_o this_o be_v all_o the_o alteration_n we_o can_v conceive_v in_o the_o eye_n but_o the_o soul_n perceive_v nothing_o of_o this_o in_o they_o but_o only_o a_o whitish_a or_o a_o yellowish_a light_n and_o the_o
