act_v continual_o but_o interrupt_o or_o per_fw-la vice_n short_a and_o almost_o isochronic_a or_o equal_a quiet_n interpose_v so_o that_o the_o blood_n express_v by_o the_o heart_n do_v not_o flow_v thence_o in_o a_o continue_a course_n as_o river_n and_o fountain_n do_v that_o be_v without_o intermission_n carry_v on_o by_o the_o weight_n of_o their_o water_n but_o gush_v forth_o and_o stop_v alternate_o though_o this_o vicissitude_n be_v exact_o regular_a and_o proceed_v in_o a_o constant_a order_n now_o these_o thing_n consider_v it_o may_v seem_v consentaneous_a to_o conclude_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n can_v be_v continuus_fw-la since_o two_o pause_n or_o quiet_n be_v interpose_v betwixt_o every_o two_o pulsation_n or_o systole_n of_o the_o heart_n during_o each_o of_o which_o the_o motion_n cease_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a aught_o to_o be_v esteem_v and_o call_v a_o interrupt_a and_o mix_v motion_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o verisimilitude_n of_o this_o conclusion_n i_o doubt_v not_o to_o lay_v down_o and_o expose_v to_o your_o examination_n this_o first_o proposition_n that_o the_o blood_n be_v carry_v in_o a_o round_a through_o the_o body_n of_o a_o animal_n in_o a_o true_o continue_v and_o never_o interrupt_v motion_n this_o perhaps_o may_v sound_v like_o a_o paradox_n but_o that_o shall_v not_o a-whit_n discourage_v i_o from_o assert_v it_o while_o i_o remember_v that_o remarkable_a sentence_n of_o minutius_n felix_n in_o octavio_n inest_fw-la &_o in_fw-la incredibili_fw-la verum_fw-la &_o in_o verisimili_fw-la mendacium_fw-la though_o it_o be_v true_a and_o evident_a that_o the_o heart_n do_v not_o in_o the_o time_n of_o its_o pause_n express_v any_o blood_n into_o the_o artery_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o the_o blood_n contain_v in_o the_o artery_n in_o the_o viscera_n in_o the_o habit_n of_o the_o body_n and_o in_o the_o vein_n do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n stagnate_n and_o stop_v its_o course_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v always_o carry_v on_o in_o its_o journey_n though_o with_o unequal_a velocity_n first_o the_o verity_n of_o this_o appear_v in_o the_o artery_n for_o the_o afflux_n of_o blood_n from_o the_o heart_n be_v whole_o intercept_v either_o by_o a_o ligature_n apply_v to_o the_o aorta_fw-mi at_o its_o original_n or_o by_o cut_v out_o the_o heart_n itself_o as_o be_v common_o do_v in_o frog_n and_o viper_n we_o see_v that_o nevertheless_o the_o blood_n wherewith_o the_o artery_n be_v fill_v be_v by_o degree_n squeeze_v out_o so_o that_o they_o be_v soon_o after_o leave_v altogether_o empty_a and_o doubtless_o this_o exinanition_n of_o the_o artery_n happen_v because_o they_o by_o their_o own_o spontaneous_a motion_n constringe_v themselves_o and_o contract_v their_o circular_a fibre_n express_v the_o blood_n into_o the_o habit_n of_o the_o part_n and_o be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n compress_v also_o by_o the_o contraction_n and_o tension_n or_o the_o peristaltic_a motion_n of_o all_o the_o muscle_n of_o the_o body_n from_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o vulgar_a phaenomenon_n viz._n the_o emptiness_n of_o the_o artery_n in_o dead_a body_n the_o ancient_n perhaps_o take_v occasion_n to_o believe_v and_o teach_v that_o not_o blood_n but_o only_o vital_a spirit_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o artery_n second_o this_o appear_v also_o in_o the_o vein_n for_o that_o the_o blood_n do_v continual_o flow_v on_o in_o they_o likewise_o not_o only_a when_o it_o be_v urge_v forward_o by_o the_o arterial_a blood_n pursue_v it_o but_o even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o heart_n pause_n be_v evince_v from_o this_o that_o then_o the_o blood_n run_v on_o through_o the_o trunk_n of_o the_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la to_o replenish_v the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o why_o do_v i_o misspend_v time_n in_o allege_v reason_n to_o prove_v a_o truth_n that_o be_v manifest_a to_o sense_n in_o phlebotomy_n no_o soon_o be_v a_o vein_n open_v than_o the_o blood_n flow_v forth_o with_o a_o swift_a stream_n and_o while_o the_o wound_n be_v open_a continues_z to_o flow_v without_o pause_n or_o interruption_n which_o be_v a_o demonstration_n of_o the_o thing_n propose_v viz._n of_o the_o continual_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o the_o vein_n be_v thus_o assure_v of_o the_o effect_n let_v we_o proceed_v to_o investigate_v the_o cause_n which_o be_v not_o equal_o evident_a nor_o can_v we_o hope_v certain_o to_o solve_v this_o problem_n without_o inquire_v the_o mechanical_a reason_n of_o the_o continual_a motion_n of_o the_o blood_n through_o the_o vein_n this_o therefore_o i_o will_v now_o attempt_v to_o do_v that_o nature_n have_v institute_v no_o immediate_a communication_n betwixt_o the_o capillary_a artery_n and_o the_o capillary_a vein_n per_fw-la anastomôsin_fw-la be_v manifest_a to_o sense_n and_o now_o acknowledge_v by_o all_o learned_a anatomist_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o reason_n to_o imagine_v that_o the_o blood_n in_o its_o circular_a course_n be_v emit_v immediate_o out_o of_o the_o artery_n into_o the_o vein_n these_o vessel_n be_v separate_a and_o though_o we_o opine_n that_o there_o be_v some_o secret_a communication_n betwixt_o the_o extreme_a orifice_n of_o the_o artery_n and_o those_o of_o the_o capillary_a vein_n by_o the_o intermediate_v spongy_a substance_n of_o the_o flesh_n viscera_n and_o glandule_n or_o by_o the_o cribrose_n substance_n of_o the_o bone_n as_o by_o the_o pore_n of_o a_o pumice_n stone_n yet_o we_o be_v still_o to_o seek_v by_o what_o motive_n force_v the_o blood_n may_v be_v carry_v on_o from_o those_o intermediate_v porosity_n and_o insinuate_v into_o the_o vein_n first_o because_o it_o be_v consentaneous_a that_o the_o impulsive_a force_n whereby_o the_o systole_n of_o the_o heart_n squirt_n the_o blood_n into_o the_o artery_n be_v by_o degree_n weaken_v and_o at_o length_n languid_a in_o those_o straits_n of_o the_o extreme_a vessel_n and_o of_o the_o intermediate_v porosity_n second_o because_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o capillary_a vein_n can_v continue_v always_o open_a and_o dilate_v their_o consistence_n be_v not_o hard_a and_o bony_a but_o membranose_n soft_a and_o slippery_a so_o that_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v close_v by_o connive_v and_o consequent_o to_o hinder_v the_o ingress_n of_o the_o blood_n new_o arrive_v three_o because_o here_o we_o can_v have_v no_o recourse_n to_o the_o compression_n of_o the_o viscera_n and_o the_o muscle_n whereby_o the_o blood_n shall_v be_v squeeze_v into_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o capillary_a vein_n for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o blood_n be_v suck_v up_o by_o the_o capillary_a vein_n not_o only_a when_o the_o muscle_n be_v invigorate_v and_o upon_o the_o stretch_n but_o also_o when_o they_o be_v quiet_a and_o relax_v and_o do_v not_o exercise_v their_o compressive_a power_n as_o be_v most_o evident_a in_o sleep_n when_o the_o circulation_n proceed_v without_o intermission_n this_o be_v confirm_v from_o hence_o that_o in_o the_o brain_n in_o the_o medullary_a substance_n of_o the_o bone_n where_o no_o compression_n can_v be_v admit_v the_o capillary_a vein_n receive_v the_o blood_n as_o free_o as_o in_o the_o soft_a flesh_n itself_o see_v then_o that_o the_o effect_n can_v be_v deny_v viz._n that_o all_o the_o blood_n effuse_v out_o of_o the_o artery_n be_v after_o absorb_v and_o carry_v off_o by_o the_o vein_n to_o be_v bring_v back_o again_o into_o the_o heart_n and_o see_v also_o that_o this_o be_v not_o effect_v by_o way_n of_o attraction_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o attraction_n in_o nature_n as_o i_o have_v more_o than_o once_o elsewhere_o prove_v we_o be_v compel_v to_o assert_v that_o the_o blood_n be_v imbibe_v by_o the_o capillary_a vein_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o by_o the_o same_o mechanic_n action_n by_o which_o syphon_n sponge_n filtre_n chord_n and_o all_o porose_a body_n be_v penetrate_v by_o water_n with_o which_o they_o be_v moisten_v which_o power_n be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o gravity_n of_o the_o fluid_n itself_o which_o be_v augment_v by_o the_o impetus_fw-la of_o its_o proper_a motion_n and_o by_o the_o impulse_n communicate_v to_o it_o from_o external_a force_n so_o the_o motive_n force_n of_o gravity_n which_o the_o blood_n can_v want_v no_o more_o than_o water_n can_v when_o it_o find_v the_o small_a channel_n of_o the_o capillary_a vein_n open_a for_o they_o can_v never_o be_v so_o close_o constringe_v by_o the_o flag_a and_o connivency_n of_o their_o thin_a membrane_n as_o to_o leave_v no_o entrance_n for_o a_o fluid_a as_o appear_v in_o the_o pore_n of_o rope_n how_o hard_o soever_o twist_v must_v of_o necessity_n overcome_v the_o weak_a resistance_n of_o the_o straits_n in_o all_o filtre_n and_o porose_a body_n and_o consequent_o the_o blood_n may_v be_v insinuate_v into_o the_o capillary_a vein_n by_o a_o
