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

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 vital_a spirit_n and_o so_o they_o participate_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o life_n moreover_o see_v this_o union_n be_v not_o permanent_a but_o transient_a and_o consist_v in_o motion_n it_o seem_v to_o

three_o that_o it_o be_v friendly_a and_o peaceable_a not_o hostile_a and_o turbulent_a that_o it_o be_v gentle_a not_o tumultuous_a that_o it_o be_v neither_o too_o slippery_a and_o smooth_a nor_o too_o rough_a four_o that_o it_o end_v not_o in_o any_o kind_n of_o dissipation_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o rather_o in_o the_o appease_n and_o apt_a disposition_n of_o they_o for_o their_o return_n into_o the_o vein_n more_o such_o condition_n may_v perhaps_o be_v add_v but_o because_o they_o very_o little_o belong_v to_o this_o disease_n we_o shall_v here_o supercee_v any_o further_a 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

have_v be_v say_v above_o that_o not_o only_o the_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o first_o affect_v part_n do_v labour_n under_o a_o cold_a and_o a_o moist_a distemper_n a_o defect_n and_o benummedness_n of_o spirit_n but_o that_o the_o vital_a blood_n itself_o be_v also_o somewhat_o damp_a and_o stupefy_v in_o the_o top_n or_o end_n of_o the_o artery_n before_o it_o can_v be_v convey_v into_o the_o first_o affect_v part_n so_o that_o that_o union_n must_v needs_o be_v perform_v without_o either_o a_o sufficient_a vivacity_n or_o pleasure_n for_o when_o the_o vigorous_a vital_a

the_o assault_n receive_v they_o at_o length_n not_o without_o a_o certain_a pleasure_n for_o the_o very_a corporal_a pleasure_n be_v establish_v upon_o and_o increase_v by_o a_o kind_n of_o amorous_a strife_n and_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o life_n itself_o consist_v in_o such_o a_o contention_n about_o the_o reciprocal_a union_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o to_o that_o end_n the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v both_o generate_v and_o distribute_v that_o at_o length_n they_o may_v pass_v through_o the_o solid_a natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o part_n and_o may_v profound_o imbue_v they_o with_o their_o vital_a power_n and_o virtue_n but_o see_v this_o peneration_n can_v be_v effect_v without_o endeavour_n and_o resistance_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o vigour_n of_o that_o
