to_o use_v in_o order_n to_o the_o animal_n nutrition_n nay_o who_o contrive_v the_o animal_n itself_o and_o design_v the_o nourishment_n of_o it_o or_o if_o these_o question_n be_v not_o enough_o we_o may_v very_o well_o ask_v the_o great_a pretender_n to_o reason_n one_o more_o viz._n how_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v so_o demonstrable_a be_v so_o constant_o perform_v

that_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o bowel_n let_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n consider_v brief_o the_o second_o thing_n or_o the_o business_n of_o sensation_n that_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o head_n

this_o yet_o further_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o consider_v transient_o the_o wonderful_a art_n of_o nature_n in_o contrive_v the_o first_o principal_a instrument_n of_o nutrition_n and_o

suppose_v it_o to_o proceed_v from_o a_o acid_n humour_n there_o which_o agitate_v and_o fret_v the_o fibre_n upon_o emptiness_n yet_o the_o enquiry_n be_v how_o the_o head_n come_v to_o be_v

and_o know_v the_o necessity_n of_o nature_n which_o must_v be_v answer_v or_o else_o the_o whole_a fabric_n will_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n why_o the_o true_a account_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v immediate_a instrument_n between_o the_o stomach_n and_o the_o brain_n which_o convey_v to_o the_o fancy_n the_o sense_n of_o those_o necessity_n which_o be_v below_o i_o mean_v little_a nerve_n

of_o the_o fibre_n beneath_o on_o these_o poor_a instrument_n the_o whole_a be_v and_o welfare_n of_o every_o sensitive_a creature_n do_v original_o depend_v and_o so_o i_o will_v ask_v any_o
