the_o implant_v spirit_n to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o natural_a spirit_n want_v but_o little_a air_n which_o by_o insensible_a transpiration_n by_o the_o artery_n knit_v to_o the_o

the_o vein_n which_o have_v a_o dependence_n upon_o it_o do_v not_o beat_v for_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a because_o the_o blood_n and_o natural_a spirit_n want_v no_o such_o ventilation_n but_o be_v well_o enough_o preserve_v only_o by_o transpiration_n the_o vital_a be_v generate_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o natural_a spirit_n and_o the_o attraction_n of_o the_o air_n by_o inspiration_n and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o artery_n flow_v into_o the_o whole_a body_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o natural_a heat_n and_o defence_n of_o life_n it_o stand_v better_a with_o reason_n that_o the_o vital_a spirit_n which_o surpass_v in_o tenuity_n shall_v be_v generate_v out_o of_o that_o spiritous_a substance_n prepare_v and_o attenuate_v in_o the_o liver_n rather_o than_o out_o of_o

many_o sort_n of_o purge_a medicine_n as_o there_o be_v sort_n of_o humour_n in_o the_o body_n fit_a for_o purgation_n that_o be_v choler_n phlegm_n melancholy_a and_o water_n the_o humour_n which_o

the_o dose_n of_o purge_v medicine_n be_v to_o be_v change_v according_a to_o the_o various_a disposition_n of_o the_o body_n which_o whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o physician_n we_o will_v therefore_o propound_v a_o great_a and_o less_o dose_n as_o they_o be_v use_v in_o a_o moderate_a age_n that_o from_o their_o latitude_n a_o convenient_a quantity_n may_v be_v discern_v
