reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o wound_n be_v very_o narrow_a and_o in_o the_o upper_a part_n between_o the_o little_a valve_n so_o that_o in_o the_o contraction_n of_o the_o heart_n all_o the_o

say_v in_o the_o precede_a chapter_n that_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o principal_a and_o perpetual_a mobile_n of_o our_o body_n from_o whence_o proceed_v all_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o the_o whole_a boyd_n and_o perpetual_o last_v so_o long_o as_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n last_v but_o the_o reason_n of_o its_o perpetual_a motion_n be_v not_o so_o perspicuous_a which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o opinion_n vary_v concern_v it_o i._o some_o say_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v move_v by_o the_o animal_n spirit_n ii_o other_o believe_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v move_v by_o the_o dilatation_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o the_o ventricles_n of_o the_o heart_n iii_o other_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v move_v partly_o by_o the_o dilatation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o partly_o by_o the_o influx_n of_o animal_n spirit_n iv._o other_o say_v that_o it_o be_v move_v by_o a_o subtle_a or_o ethereal_a matter_n v._o other_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v move_v by_o some_o certain_a spirit_n in_o the_o blood_n vi_o some_o assert_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v move_v by_o the_o respiration_n of_o the_o lung_n i._o the_o first_o opinion_n produce_v three_o spirit_n very_a specious_a reason_n for_o its_o support_n first_o because_o that_o in_o our_o body_n all_o apparent_a and_o violent_a motion_n be_v make_v by_o the_o influx_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n must_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o influx_n second_o because_o the_o several_a little_a nerve_n be_v not_o in_o vain_a insert_v into_o the_o basis_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o rather_o to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o may_v convey_v the_o animal_n spirit_n to_o accomplish_v its_o motion_n three_o for_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o the_o heart_n be_v more_o or_o less_o move_v by_o the_o great_a or_o lesser_a influx_n of_o those_o spirit_n but_o though_o these_o argument_n be_v propound_v with_o some_o appearance_n of_o probability_n yet_o that_o this_o opinion_n be_v far_o from_o truth_n several_a reason_n make_v manifest_a 1._o because_o those_o motion_n that_o proceed_v from_o the_o influx_n of_o animal_n spirit_n be_v arbitrary_a especial_o in_o the_o muscle_n of_o which_o number_n they_o assert_v the_o heart_n to_o be_v but_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o arbitrary_a see_v it_o be_v not_o perform_v nor_o can_v be_v perform_v or_o alter_v at_o our_o pleasure_n 2._o because_o the_o heart_n beat_v in_o a_o hen-egg_n or_o other_o conception_n before_o the_o brain_n be_v perfect_v and_o beget_v animal_n spirit_n or_o before_o any_o animal_n faculty_n be_v produce_v into_o act_n of_o move_v and_o feel_v 3._o because_o the_o nerve_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v so_o small_a and_o slender_a that_o they_o can_v contribute_v a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o animal_n spirit_n to_o perfect_a that_o same_o durable_a motion_n for_o to_o all_o the_o move_a part_n be_v allow_v nerve_n according_a to_o the_o swiftness_n or_o diuturnity_n of_o the_o motion_n the_o eye_n that_o see_v and_o be_v move_v all_o the_o day_n and_o rest_v all_o the_o night_n beside_o the_o visual_a nerve_n have_v another_o large_a move_a nerve_n so_o the_o muscle_n of_o the_o leg_n and_o arm_n as_o they_o cause_v swift_a or_o slow_a motion_n have_v great_a or_o lesser_a nerve_n which_o happen_v also_o in_o all_o the_o other_o part_n see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o other_o move_a part_n which_o rest_n much_o long_o than_o they_o be_v move_v require_v large_a and_o conspicuous_a nerve_n shall_v the_o heart_n that_o move_v with_o a_o continual_a motion_n day_n and_o night_n all_o a_o man_n life_n long_o and_o therefore_o require_v a_o far_o large_a quantity_n of_o spirit_n than_o any_o other_o part_n that_o be_v move_v be_v it_o possible_a i_o say_v that_o the_o heart_n shall_v be_v furnish_v with_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o spirit_n to_o maintain_v that_o continual_a motion_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o such_o slender_a and_o almost_o invisible_a nerve_n beside_o that_o it_o be_v as_o yet_o uncertain_a whether_o those_o diminutive_a nerve_n who_o production_n be_v see_v to_o extend_v themselves_o to_o the_o basis_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o pericardium_n the_o orifice_n of_o the_o ventricles_n and_o the_o external_a tunicle_n enter_v any_o far_o into_o the_o substance_n itself_o of_o parenchyma_n many_o indeed_o assert_v it_o but_o no_o body_n demonstrate_v it_o galen_n and_o des_n cartes_n very_o much_o scruple_n it_o and_o so_o do_v thomas_n willis_n a_o exact_a searcher_n into_o the_o brain_n and_o nerve_n to_o who_o industry_n in_o that_o particular_a we_o be_v very_o much_o behold_v who_o dare_v not_o assert_v any_o such_o thing_n positive_o but_o say_v that_o more_o branch_n of_o nerve_n and_o fibre_n be_v distribute_v into_o the_o little_a ear_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o vessel_n appendent_a than_o into_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o we_o say_v that_o very_o few_o nerve_n enter_v the_o substance_n itself_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o small_a and_o few_o that_o can_v afford_v or_o convey_v sufficient_a animal_n spirit_n to_o perpetuate_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o only_o contribute_v some_o few_o which_o assist_v to_o the_o nutrition_n of_o the_o heart_n 4._o because_o that_o to_o cause_v motion_n there_o be_v require_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o animal_n spirit_n but_o that_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o feel_v a_o very_a few_o suffice_v and_o therefore_o all_o the_o part_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o feel_v which_o receive_v many_o spirit_n to_o perfect_v their_o motion_n have_v also_o a_o most_o accurate_a sense_n of_o feel_v but_o those_o which_o receive_v but_o few_o spirit_n they_o be_v not_o move_v at_o all_o and_o have_v but_o a_o dull_a sense_n of_o feel_v as_o be_v apparent_a in_o palsy_n of_o the_o lesser_a degree_n nevertheless_o that_o the_o heart_n have_v membrane_n

fermentation_n be_v prevent_v if_o the_o oily_a particle_n too_o much_o exceed_v the_o salt_n here_o it_o may_v be_v octject_v that_o in_o ague_n the_o sulphury_a heat_n predominate_v and_o yet_o the_o animal_n action_n be_v not_o always_o dull_a and_o numb_v in_o such_o person_n which_o come_v to_o pass_v because_o that_o in_o such_o person_n the_o sulphury_a and_o oily_a particle_n of_o the_o blood_n do_v not_o exceed_v nor_o stupefy_v the_o salt_n with_o their_o oiliness_n and_o quantity_n but_o by_o their_o heat_n and_o motion_n stir_v up_o their_o acrimony_n to_o more_o vehement_a action_n produce_v a_o effervescency_n either_o too_o strong_a or_o vicious_a and_o aguish_a vi_o but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o business_n spirit_n out_o of_o the_o sanguineous_a mass_n by_o

the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v the_o spirit_n most_o subtle_a and_o efficacious_a part_n of_o the_o blood_n generate_v out_o of_o its_o sulphury_a and_o salt_n particle_n dilate_v by_o the_o

because_o it_o be_v no_o efficacious_a part_n of_o the_o blood_n though_o sometime_o less_o to_o be_v discern_v than_o the_o effectual_a spirit_n itself_o but_o that_o which_o through_o the_o

some_o there_o be_v who_o with_o blood_n argenterius_n stiff_o deny_v this_o spirit_n different_a from_o the_o blood_n to_o be_v in_o the_o blood_n though_o other_o with_o no_o less_o heat_n assert_v it_o but_o this_o contention_n seem_v easy_a to_o be_v compose_v if_o we_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v the_o most_o subtle_a part_n of_o the_o blood_n free_v from_o the_o thick_a matter_n and_o exalt_v to_o a_o extraordinary_a thinness_n mix_v indeed_o with_o the_o whole_a but_o easy_o separable_a from_o it_o for_o that_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o blood_n consist_v in_o its_o mixture_n which_o without_o this_o spirit_n will_v be_v only_o a_o crude_a and_o unprofitable_a humour_n in_o like_a manner_n as_o in_o wine_n the_o spirit_n give_v the_o wine_n its_o perfection_n and_o be_v the_o

then_o the_o remain_a substance_n of_o the_o wine_n become_v a_o crude_a watery_a and_o unprofitable_a liquor_n and_o therefore_o the_o foresay_a question_n may_v be_v thus_o decide_v if_o we_o mean_v good_a and_o perfect_a blood_n than_o it_o may_v be_v well_o say_v that_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o different_a from_o it_o as_o be_v the_o most_o subtle_a part_n of_o it_o raise_v out_o of_o itself_o which_o by_o its_o presence_n constitute_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o blood_n but_o if_o we_o mean_v blood_n simple_o so_o call_v as_o be_v that_o which_o be_v dissipate_v from_o the_o blood_n the_o blood_n remain_v such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o dead_a people_n which_o be_v not_o perfect_a because_o there_o be_v no_o volatile_a spirit_n remain_v therein_o then_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v different_a from_o the_o blood_n or_o to_o be_v generate_v in_o it_o the_o blood_n still_o exist_v which_o moreover_o be_v it_o in_o it_o will_v predominate_v in_o it_o and_o agitate_v the_o thick_a particle_n of_o the_o blood_n one_o with_o another_o but_o when_o as_o aristotle_n witness_n nothing_o be_v agitate_a or_o

which_o nevertheless_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o sanguineous_a mass_n exalt_v to_o spirituosity_n here_o perhaps_o some_o will_v object_v if_o this_o spirit_n agitate_v other_o
