sense_n for_o every_o one_o have_v his_o particular_a composition_n the_o eye_n have_v one_o the_o ear_n another_o the_o smell_a another_o and_o the_o feel_n another_o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o but_o one_o sort_n of_o operation_n and_o that_o shall_v all_o be_v see_v taste_v or_o feeling_n for_o the_o instrument_n determine_v &_o rule_v the_o power_n for_o one_o action_n and_o for_o no_o more_o by_o this_o so_o plain_a and_o manifest_v a_o matter_n which_o pass_v through_o the_o outward_a sense_n we_o may_v gather_v what_o that_o be_v in_o the_o inward_a with_o this_o self_n power_n of_o the_o soul_n we_o understand_v imagine_v and_o remember_v but_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o every_o work_n require_v a_o particular_a instrument_n it_o behoove_v of_o necessity_n that_o within_o the_o brain_n there_o be_v one_o instrument_n for_o the_o understanding_n one_o for_o the_o imagination_n and_o another_o different_a from_o they_o for_o the_o memory_n for_o if_o all_o the_o brain_n be_v instrumentalize_v after_o oneself_o manner_n either_o the_o whole_a shall_v be_v memory_n or_o the_o whole_a understanding_n or_o the_o whole_a imagination_n but_o we_o see_v that_o these_o be_v very_o different_a operation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v of_o force_n that_o there_o be_v also_o a_o variety_n in_o the_o instrument_n but_o if_o we_o open_v by_o skill_n and_o make_v a_o anatomy_n of_o the_o brain_n we_o shall_v find_v the_o whole_a compound_v after_o one_o manner_n of_o one_o kind_n of_o substance_n and_o alike_o without_o part_n of_o other_o kind_n or_o a_o different_a sort_n only_o there_o appear_v four_o little_a hollowness_n who_o if_o we_o well_o mark_v they_o have_v all_o ownself_o composition_n and_o figure_n without_o any_o thing_n come_v between_o which_o may_v breed_v a_o difference_n what_o the_o use_n and_o profit_n of_o these_o may_v be_v and_o whereto_o they_o serve_v in_o the_o head_n be_v not_o easy_o decideable_a for_o galen_n and_o the_o anatomist_n as_o well_o new_a as_o ancient_a have_v labour_v to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n but_o none_o of_o they_o have_v precise_o nor_o in_o particular_a express_v whereto_o the_o right_a ventricle_n serve_v nor_o the_o left_a nor_o that_o which_o be_v place_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o these_o two_o nor_o the_o four_o who_o seat_n in_o the_o brain_n keep_v the_o hinder_a part_n of_o the_o head_n they_o affirm_v only_o though_o with_o some_o doubt_n that_o these_o four_o concavity_n be_v the_o shop_n where_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v digest_v and_o convert_v into_o animal_n so_o to_o give_v sense_n and_o motion_n to_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n in_o which_o operation_n galen_n say_v once_o that_o the_o middle_a ventricle_n be_v the_o principal_a and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o unsaye_v it_o again_o affirm_v that_o the_o hindermost_a be_v of_o great_a efficacy_n and_o valour_n but_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o true_a nor_o found_v on_o good_a natural_a philosophy_n for_o in_o all_o man_n body_n there_o be_v not_o two_o so_o contrary_a operation_n nor_o that_o so_o much_o hinder_v one_o another_o as_o be_v discourse_v and_o digestion_n of_o nourishment_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o contemplation_n require_v quiet_a rest_n and_o a_o clearness_n in_o the_o animal_n spirit_n and_o digestion_n be_v perform_v with_o great_a stir_v and_o travail_n &_o from_o this_o action_n rise_v up_o many_o vapour_n which_o trouble_n and_o darken_v the_o animal_n spirit_n so_o as_o by_o mean_n of_o they_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n can_v discern_v the_o figure_n and_o nature_n be_v not_o so_o unaduised_a as_o in_o oneself_o place_n to_o conjoin_v two_o action_n which_o be_v perform_v with_o so_o great_a repugnancy_n but_o plato_n high_o commend_v the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o he_o who_o shape_v we_o for_o that_o he_o sever_v the_o liver_n from_o the_o brain_n by_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o the_o rumble_a there_o make_v whilst_o the_o nourishment_n be_v mingle_v and_o by_o the_o obscureness_n and_o darkness_n occasion_v through_o the_o vapour_n in_o the_o animal_n spirit_n the_o reasonable_a soul_n may_v not_o be_v trouble_v in_o his_o discourse_n and_o consideration_n but_o though_o plato_n have_v not_o touch_v this_o point_n of_o philosophy_n we_o see_v hourly_o by_o experience_n that_o because_o the_o liver_n and_o the_o stomach_n be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o brain_n present_o upon_o meat_n and_o some_o space_n thereafter_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o can_v give_v himself_o to_o study_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n be_v that_o the_o four_o ventricle_n have_v the_o office_n of_o digest_v and_o alter_v the_o vital_a spirit_n and_o to_o convert_v they_o into_o animal_n for_o that_o end_n which_o we_o have_v before_o remember_v and_o therefore_o nature_n have_v sever_v the_o same_o by_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n from_o the_o other_o three_o and_o make_v that_o brain_n sunder_v apart_o and_o so_o far_o off_o as_o appear_v to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o his_o operation_n he_o hinder_v not_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o rest_n the_o three_o ventricle_n place_v in_o the_o forepart_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o nature_n make_v they_o to_o none_o other_o end_n than_o to_o discourse_n and_o philosophise_v which_o be_v apparent_o prove_v for_o that_o in_o great_a studying_n and_o contemplation_n always_o that_o part_n of_o the_o head_n find_v itself_o aggrieve_v which_o answer_v these_o three_o concavity_n the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v to_o be_v know_v by_o consideration_n that_o when_o the_o other_o power_n be_v weary_a of_o perform_v their_o work_n the_o instrument_n be_v always_o aggrieve_v who_o service_n they_o use_v as_o in_o our_o much_o look_v the_o eye_n be_v pain_v and_o with_o much_o go_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o foot_n wax_v sore_o now_o the_o difficulty_n consist_v to_o know_v in_o which_o of_o these_o ventricle_n the_o understanding_n be_v place_v in_o which_o the_o memory_n and_o in_o which_o the_o imagination_n for_o they_o be_v so_o unite_v and_o never_o neighbour_v that_o neither_o by_o the_o last_o argument_n nor_o by_o any_o other_o notice_n they_o can_v be_v distinguish_v or_o discern_v then_o consider_v that_o the_o understanding_n can_v work_v without_o the_o memory_n be_v present_a soul_n represent_v unto_o the_o same_o the_o figure_n and_o fantasy_n agreeable_a thereunto_o it_o behoove_v that_o the_o understanding_n part_n busy_v itself_o in_o behold_v the_o phantasm_n and_o that_o the_o memory_n can_v do_v it_o if_o the_o imagination_n do_v not_o accompany_v the_o same_o as_o we_o have_v already_o heretofore_o declare_v we_o shall_v easy_o understand_v that_o all_o the_o power_n be_v unite_v in_o every_o several_a ventricle_n and_o that_o the_o understanding_n be_v not_o sole_o in_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o memory_n sole_o in_o the_o other_o nor_o the_o imagination_n in_o the_o three_o as_o the_o vulgar_a philosopher_n have_v imagine_v but_o that_o this_o union_n of_o power_n be_v accustomable_o make_v in_o man_n body_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o one_o can_v work_v without_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o other_o as_o appeareth_z in_o the_o four_o natural_a ability_n digestive_a retentive_a attractive_a and_o expulsive_a where_o because_o each_o one_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o all_o the_o residue_n nature_n dispose_v to_o unite_v they_o in_o oneself_o place_n and_o make_v they_o not_o divide_v or_o sunder_v but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o to_o what_o end_n make_v nature_n those_o three_o ventricle_n and_o join_v together_o the_o three_o reasonable_a power_n in_o every_o of_o they_o see_v that_o one_o alone_o suffice_v to_o understand_v and_o to_o perform_v the_o action_n of_o memory_n to_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o there_o rise_v a_o like_a difficulty_n in_o scan_v whence_o it_o come_v that_o nature_n make_v two_o eye_n and_o two_o ear_n since_o in_o each_o of_o they_o be_v place_v the_o whole_a power_n of_o sight_n and_o hear_n and_o we_o can_v see_v have_v but_o one_o eye_n whereto_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o power_n ordain_v for_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o creature_n how_o much_o the_o great_a number_n they_o carry_v so_o much_o the_o better_o assure_v be_v that_o their_o perfection_n for_o upon_o some_o occasion_n one_o or_o two_o may_v fail_v and_o therefore_o it_o serve_v well_o to_o the_o purpose_n that_o there_o remain_v some_o other_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n which_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o use_v in_o a_o infirmity_n which_o the_o physician_n term_n resolution_n or_o palsy_n of_o the_o middle_a side_n the_o operation_n be_v ordinary_o lose_v of_o that_o ventricle_n which_o be_v strike_v on_o that_o side_n &_o if_o the_o other_o two_o remain_v not_o sound_a &_o without_o endamageance_n a_o man_n shall_v thereby_o become_v witless_a and_o void_a of_o
