of_o diet_n for_o want_n of_o a_o thin_a who_o be_v therefore_o slow_a to_o all_o manner_n of_o animal_n action_n and_o of_o dull_a wit_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o who_o live_v in_o

wholesome_a sort_n of_o diet_n and_o consequent_o be_v serve_v by_o their_o bowel_n with_o better_a concoction_n their_o humour_n and_o spirit_n be_v thin_a and_o more_o volatile_a and_o their_o body_n and_o wit_n more_o nimble_a and_o active_a aristotle_n indeed_o say_v that_o melancholy_a people_n be_v ingenious_a but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o as_o be_v altogether_o melancholy_a and_o together_o with_o a_o thick_a blood_n have_v thick_a spirit_n but_o of_o such_o as_o incline_v to_o melancholy_a and_o consequent_o who_o spirit_n be_v neither_o too_o thin_a and_o volatile_a for_o such_o be_v too_o movable_a and_o inconstant_a nor_o too_o thick_a for_o they_o be_v stupid_a but_o in_o a_o middle_a temper_n between_o both_o and_o therefore_o such_o people_n be_v neither_o too_o quick_a nor_o too_o redious_a in_o the_o transaction_n of_o business_n but_o prudent_o weigh_v and_o judge_v of_o thing_n before_o they_o proceed_v to_o execution_n xi_o perhaps_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a nerve_n to_o some_o people_n that_o the_o salt_n particle_n shall_v be_v make_v so_o subtle_a and_o spirituous_a as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o pass_v free_o through_o the_o invisible_a pore_n of_o the_o nerve_n but_o they_o will_v cease_v to_o wonder_v when_o they_o observe_v in_o chemistry_n the_o extraordinary_a subtlety_n and_o volatility_n of_o volatile_a salt_n and_o how_o swift_o the_o spirit_n of_o salt_n will_v pass_v through_o the_o invisible_a pore_n of_o the_o earthen_a vessel_n nay_o if_o they_o only_o consider_v how_o common_a salt_n without_o any_o mixture_n of_o water_n or_o moisture_n be_v dissolve_v into_o pickle_n will_v penetrate_v through_o the_o thick_a side_n of_o wooden_a vessel_n and_o sweat_v through_o stone_n pot_n overcast_v both_o within_o and_o without_o with_o a_o glassy_a crust_n as_o we_o find_v in_o those_o vessel_n where_o we_o salt_v our_o beef_n or_o keep_v our_o pickle_a fish_n if_o then_o fix_a salt_n only_o melt_v pass_v through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o vessel_n how_o much_o more_o easy_o will_v the_o most_o subtle_a spirit_n of_o volatile_a salt_n pierce_v through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o nerve_n xii_o here_o some_o will_v object_v that_o acrimony_n salt_n and_o acid_n be_v sharp_a and_o corrode_a so_o that_o if_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v generate_v out_o of_o the_o salt_n particle_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o consequent_o participate_v of_o any_o saltness_n they_o will_v corrode_v all_o part_n whatever_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o acrimony_n which_o will_v occasion_v pain_n and_o many_o inconveniencos_fw-la i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v endue_v with_o some_o slight_a acrimony_n but_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o occasion_v any_o sensible_a molestation_n because_o that_o exceed_a acrimony_n which_o be_v in_o fix_a salt_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o sharp_a pungent_a particle_n conjoin_v with_o it_o become_v mild_a in_o that_o volatile_a and_o vaporous_a spirit_n because_o the_o small_a sharp_a particle_n be_v dissolve_v be_v more_o remote_a one_o from_o another_o and_o their_o force_n be_v break_v by_o the_o intervening_a air_n or_o some_o steamy_a vapour_n for_o example_n if_o any_o one_o go_v into_o a_o cellar_n and_o draw_v in_o the_o air_n that_o be_v all_o intermix_v with_o a_o most_o subtle_a exhaling_a spirit_n or_o if_o he_o snuff_v up_o into_o his_o nostril_n the_o spirituous_a vapour_n of_o wine_n heat_v at_o the_o fire_n yet_o shall_v he_o not_o feel_v the_o least_o grievance_n nor_o perceive_v any_o acrimony_n which_o he_o will_v do_v if_o he_o snuff_v up_o into_o his_o nostril_n the_o spirit_n itself_o fix_v in_o the_o liquor_n so_o in_o our_o great_a salt-works_a where_o the_o sea-salt_n be_v boil_v and_o depurate_v the_o exhaling_a vapour_n be_v impregnate_v with_o the_o volatile_a salt_n if_o they_o be_v take_v in_o at_o the_o mouth_n or_o nostril_n little_a or_o no_o salt-savour_n shall_v be_v perceive_v therein_o whenas_o the_o fix_a salt_n be_v most_o sharp_a and_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o the_o force_n which_o be_v conjoin_v in_o the_o fix_a and_o thick_a body_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n be_v very_o powerful_a in_o the_o dissolve_v and_o vaporous_a body_n be_v separate_v and_o thereby_o render_v weak_a and_o of_o no_o strength_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o animal_n spirit_n do_v not_o corrode_v because_o that_o be_v dissolve_v into_o a_o most_o subtle_a vapour_n they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o acrimony_n in_o they_o as_o can_v be_v troublelom_o to_o any_o part._n to_o this_o we_o add_v that_o they_o have_v a_o most_o thin_a and_o subtle_a serous_a vapour_n together_o with_o so_o much_o sulphury_a spirit_n join_v with_o they_o for_o a_o vehicle_n which_o do_v not_o a_o little_a weaken_v and_o temper_v the_o acrimony_n moreover_o the_o part_n themselves_o through_o which_o they_o pass_v and_o into_o which_o they_o flow_v partake_v of_o some_o other_o moisture_n which_o also_o much_o weaken_v and_o diminish_v their_o acrimony_n xiii_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o spirit_n be_v sufficient_o apparent_a that_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v not_o animal_n but_o mere_o natural_a and_o that_o they_o differ_v not_o only_o in_o some_o accident_n or_o quality_n but_o in_o their_o whole_a kind_a from_o the_o vital_a for_o in_o these_o the_o sulphury_a juice_n mix_v with_o the_o salt_n be_v far_o more_o prevalent_a in_o those_o there_o be_v very_o little_a sulphury_a or_o any_o other_o juice_n apt_a to_o take_v fire_n these_o be_v extract_v out_o of_o the_o chylus_n and_o veiny_n blood_n those_o only_a out_o of_o the_o salt_n part_n of_o the_o arterious_a blood_n these_o flow_v visible_a through_o the_o large_a artery_n and_o vein_n those_o invisible_a through_o the_o invisible_a pore_n of_o the_o nerve_n over_o those_o the_o soul_n have_v no_o power_n over_o these_o it_o have_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o animal_n and_o vital_a spirit_n but_o now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o animal_n spirit_n themselves_o do_v not_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o in_o substance_n in_o manner_n and_o place_n of_o generation_n and_o in_o use_n whether_o some_o be_v not_o generate_v out_o of_o the_o blood_n other_o out_o of_o the_o lympha_fw-la or_o some_o other_o matter_n also_o whether_o some_o be_v not_o generate_v in_o the_o foremost_a other_o in_o the_o middle_n other_o in_o the_o hindmost_a ventricle_n or_o as_o willis_n late_o tell_v we_o whether_o some_o be_v not_o make_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o brain_n other_o of_o the_o cerebel_n last_o whether_o some_o peculiar_a and_o differ_v from_o the_o rest_n do_v not_o cause_v the_o sight_n other_o the_o feel_n other_o the_o hear_n other_o the_o arbitrary_a motion_n and_o other_o the_o spontaneous_a motion_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v not_o generate_v out_o of_o a_o different_a matter_n nor_o in_o various_a part_n for_o we_o take_v the_o brain_n and_o cerebel_n for_o one_o part_n neither_o do_v they_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o but_o be_v all_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n composition_n and_o condition_n but_o that_o the_o diversity_n of_o their_o operation_n arise_v from_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o nature_n &_o condition_n of_o the_o part_n into_o which_o they_o flow_v as_o those_o which_o flow_v into_o the_o part_n adapt_v for_o feeling_n as_o the_o membrane_n &_o skin_n those_o cause_n the_o feel_n those_o that_o flow_v into_o the_o eye_n cause_v the_o sight_n those_o that_o flow_v into_o the_o ear_n cause_n the_o hear_v those_o that_o flow_v into_o the_o muscle_n fiber_n and_o other_o part_n ordain_v for_o motion_n cause_n motion_n though_o they_o be_v the_o same_o and_o no_o way_n different_a as_o every_o instrument_n be_v adapt_v to_o this_o or_o that_o proper_a action_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o though_o they_o be_v always_o the_o same_o and_o proceed_v from_o one_o sun_n neither_o confer_v any_o other_o light_n or_o other_o strength_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n to_o any_o other_o thing_n yet_o produce_v most_o different_a effect_n according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o thing_n into_o which_o they_o flow_v for_o here_o they_o produce_v barley_n there_o tree_n in_o another_o place_n stone_n here_o worm_n or_o fish_n sometime_o infect_v or_o other_o thing_n here_o they_o extinguish_v life_n there_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n
second_o because_o action_n be_v compatible_a to_o the_o whole_a operate_a organ_n but_o use_v to_o every_o part_n of_o the_o organ_n for_o instance_n the_o action_n of_o a_o muscle_n be_v to_o

matter_n which_o by_o coction_n be_v change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o part_n into_o which_o till_o they_o be_v change_v they_o can_v be_v call_v part_n and_o when_o they_o be_v change_v they_o can_v be_v call_v humour_n for_o a_o bone_n be_v not_o blood_n and_o blood_n be_v not_o bone_n though_o the_o one_o be_v breed_v of_o the_o other_o the_o same_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o

continue_v alive_a without_o these_o three_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o all_o these_o three_o must_v necessary_o be_v part_n of_o the_o body_n a_o vine_n consist_v of_o solid_a woody_a
