but_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o affirm_v that_o the_o implant_v heat_n do_v differ_v from_o the_o hot_a implant_v temperament_n for_o the_o implant_v heat_n be_v only_o a_o part_n of_o the_o

vital_a participative_a constitution_n now_o this_o constitution_n consist_v in_o three_o thing_n first_o in_o a_o certain_a union_n of_o the_o arterious_a blood_n with_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o solid_a part_n through_o which_o it_o pass_v second_o in_o the_o vital_a heat_n excite_v in_o those_o part_n three_o in_o the_o enliven_a and_o exaltation_n of_o the_o natural_a constitution_n and_o of_o all_o the_o natural_a faculty_n of_o those_o part_n first_o as_o for_o that_o union_n of_o the_o arterious_a blood_n it_o must_v be_v just_o repute_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o participative_a life_n for_o the_o solid_a part_n be_v therefore_o say_v to_o participate_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o life_n or_o the_o vital_a constitution_n because_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v contain_v in_o they_o for_o life_n can_v consist_v without_o a_o vital_a spirit_n therefore_o when_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v distribute_v in_o and_o with_o the_o arterious_a blood_n to_o the_o solid_a part_n through_o the_o artery_n and_o these_o part_n do_v suck_v in_o that_o blood_n into_o their_o substance_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o say_v part_n be_v counit_v with_o the_o

examination_n of_o they_o we_o only_o note_v that_o the_o mutual_a concourse_n and_o union_n of_o the_o vital_a and_o natural_a constitution_n by_o their_o spirit_n do_v not_o occur_v in_o this_o
