solid_a part_n be_v more_o susceptible_a of_o and_o long_o hold_v 4._o again_o because_o the_o watery_a part_n be_v very_o thin_a and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o middle_n between_o water_n and_o aire_n in_o those_o long_a and_o narrow_a channel_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o they_o be_v both_o extreme_o passive_a of_o every_o impression_n from_o without_o and_o transmit_v it_o to_o their_o fountain_n or_o head_n 5._o and_o because_o their_o head_n have_v a_o connection_n with_o the_o principal_a fountain_n for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o same_o passion_n will_v pass_v on_o even_o to_o that_o in_o which_o the_o heat_n be_v very_o acute_a and_o sprightly_a and_o consequent_o capable_a of_o sudden_a motion_n a_o change_n in_o the_o plant_n proportionable_a to_o its_o nature_n will_v necessary_o follow_v the_o impression_n make_v upon_o it_o 6._o this_o plant_n therefore_o will_v have_v these_o two_o quality_n to_o be_v stir_v up_o as_o it_o be_v and_o irritate_v with_o all_o occurrence_n from_o without_o and_o this_o very_a principle_n or_o head_n thus_o irritate_v will_v have_v power_n to_o move_v any_o part_n of_o the_o plant_n out_o of_o its_o present_a site_n into_o another_o according_a to_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n of_o the_o irritation_n 7._o which_o two_o make_v up_o that_o whereby_o we_o distinguish_v live_v creature_n from_o such_o as_o have_v no_o life_n namely_o this_o that_o upon_o all_o occurrence_n from_o without_o they_o can_v move_v themselves_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o name_n of_o a_o animal_n or_o live_a creature_n agree_v to_o this_o plant_n we_o have_v therefore_o a_o animal_n consist_v of_o three_o principle_n a_o heart_n a_o liver_n and_o brain_n water_v with_o three_o river_n of_o the_o vital_a and_o animal_n spirit_n and_o the_o blood_n by_o the_o three_o various_a channel_n of_o the_o artery_n vein_n and_o nerve_n 8._o but_o because_o all_o thing_n be_v increase_v by_o the_o same_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v make_v and_o all_o mix_v body_n be_v compose_v of_o the_o element_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o animal_n may_v be_v increase_v by_o all_o body_n so_o that_o they_o be_v furnish_v with_o fit_a instrument_n to_o make_v the_o necessary_a transmutation_n 9_o but_o some_o body_n be_v of_o a_o hard_a transmutation_n other_o of_o a_o easy_a wherefore_o body_n ought_v to_o be_v choose_v fit_a for_o the_o food_n of_o the_o animal_n and_o those_o that_o be_v choose_v shall_v again_o be_v resolve_v into_o part_n that_o the_o best_a may_v be_v take_v and_o the_o worse_o reject_v and_o this_o as_o oft_o as_o be_v necessary_a that_o be_v till_o such_o be_v choose_v as_o by_o mere_a concoction_n and_o mix_n with_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o animal_n may_v be_v reduce_v into_o a_o substance_n like_o it_o now_o whilst_o the_o fibre_n be_v distend_v with_o this_o moisture_n both_o they_o be_v strengthen_v by_o it_o and_o the_o space_n between_o they_o be_v fill_v up_o and_o thus_o the_o animal_n become_v big_a 10._o and_o because_o this_o be_v bring_v about_o by_o concoction_n those_o body_n which_o have_v not_o yet_o arrive_v to_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o animal_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o most_o connaturall_a aliment_n lesson_n xvi_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o some_o consequent_n of_o it_o 1._o again_o because_o the_o heart_n have_v heat_n and_o moisture_n in_o it_o and_o moisture_n boil_v with_o heat_n and_o be_v turn_v into_o fume_n it_o be_v manifest_a the_o same_o moisture_n do_v not_o remain_v constant_o in_o the_o heart_n but_o be_v resolve_v by_o the_o heat_n be_v cast_v out_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n swag_n down_o and_o shut_v itself_o with_o its_o own_o weight_n till_o it_o be_v open_v again_o and_o swell_v with_o other_o moisture_n flow_v into_o it_o 2._o there_o be_v therefore_o a_o continual_a flux_n of_o moisture_n through_o the_o heart_n which_o heat_v in_o it_o and_o then_o cast_v out_o to_o be_v disperse_v through_o the_o animal_n conserv'_v it_o in_o a_o due_a temperament_n of_o heat_n 3._o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v may_v be_v understand_v what_o a_o disease_n and_o the_o cure_n of_o it_o be_v for_o when_o any_o part_n be_v indispose_v so_o that_o unwholesome_a vapour_n fume_v out_o of_o it_o they_o mix_v with_o the_o blood_n overrun_v and_o discompose_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v the_o whole_a body_n and_o the_o very_a heart_n itself_o 4._o and_o according_a as_o these_o vapour_n do_v more_o frequent_o rise_v to_o such_o a_o bulk_n that_o they_o be_v able_a vehement_o to_o assail_v the_o whole_a animal_n so_o much_o the_o frequent_a be_v the_o fit_v of_o the_o disease_n and_o thus_o some_o be_v continual_a and_o other_o have_v intermission_n some_o every_o other_o day_n some_o tertian_n some_o quotidian_n etc._n etc._n 5._o and_o the_o true_a nature_n and_o method_n of_o cure_v be_v to_o seek_v out_o the_o part_n original_o ill-affected_a and_o apply_v remedy_n to_o that_o 6._o thus_o too_o it_o appear_v how_o physic_n expel_v one_o certain_a determinate_a humour_n out_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n for_o a_o drug_n etc._n etc._n be_v concoct_v in_o the_o ventricle_n which_o have_v a_o power_n of_o dissolve_v and_o render_v fluid_v a_o certain_a humour_n of_o the_o body_n its_o virtue_n be_v diffuse_v through_o all_o the_o vein_n by_o the_o fore-explicated_n motion_n of_o the_o heart_n whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o be_v provoke_v to_o stool_n that_o humour_n rather_o and_o more_o than_o any_o other_o follow_v out_o of_o all_o the_o member_n or_o if_o the_o physic_n be_v diaphoreticall_a that_o will_v sweat_v out_o more_o than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n 7._o last_o it_o be_v clear_a since_o a_o animal_n be_v a_o plant_n by_o the_o high_a concoction_n a_o seed_n or_o compendium_n of_o its_o nature_n may_v be_v frame_v in_o it_o as_o well_o as_o in_o plant_n which_o due_o eject_v into_o a_o congruous_a ambient_fw-la body_n may_v spring_v up_o into_o a_o new_a animal_n 8._o now_o this_o seed_n coagulate_v first_o into_o a_o heart_n then_o into_o a_o brain_n and_o at_o length_n into_o a_o liver_n out_o of_o every_o one_o of_o which_o their_o own_o proper_a little_a channel_n spring_n as_o be_v observe_v by_o those_o that_o pry_v artificial_o into_o these_o thing_n lesson_n xvii_o of_o the_o progressive_a motion_n of_o animal_n 1._o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o may_v evident_o be_v conclude_v that_o since_o the_o heart_n be_v move_v natural_o and_o by_o its_o motion_n press_v out_o a_o fumy_a humour_n which_o they_o use_v to_o call_v the_o spirit_n into_o the_o channel_n connect_v with_o itself_o and_o into_o the_o body_n join_v to_o it_o and_o the_o flesh_n be_v fibrous_a viz._n certain_a part_n constipate_v together_o of_o a_o world_n of_o minute_a fibre_n stick_v to_o one_o another_o and_o since_o if_o a_o connaturall_a moisture_n especial_o be_v warm_a get_v into_o such_o a_o body_n it_o make_v it_o swell_v and_o of_o thin_a become_v thick_a of_o long_a short_a it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o member_n whether_o consist_v of_o such_o fibre_n or_o knit_v together_o by_o they_o attain_v some_o kind_n of_o local_a motion_n by_o that_o irrigation_n from_o the_o heart_n 2._o again_o the_o channel_n especial_o if_o they_o be_v extreme_o little_a will_v swell_v too_o and_o become_v short_a 3._o since_o therefore_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o there_o flow_v abundance_n of_o spirit_n from_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o brain_n and_o again_o that_o from_o the_o brain_n through_o the_o whole_a body_n mostsubtilly-hollow_a nerve_n be_v extend_v to_o all_o the_o member_n and_o lose_v themselves_o by_o their_o dispersion_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o muscle_n it_o be_v plain_a the_o muscle_n will_v swell_v with_o these_o spirit_n as_o oft_o as_o the_o heart_n overflow_v and_o consequent_o become_v short_a and_o the_o part_n adhere_v to_o they_o be_v draw_v backward_o to_o the_o head_n of_o the_o muscle_n and_o which_o clear_o follow_v all_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o body_n be_v move_v from_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n according_a to_o what_o be_v convenient_a to_o its_o nature_n 4._o it_o follow_v too_o how_o certain_a other_o member_n which_o have_v no_o nerve_n but_o only_a fibre_n have_v motion_n of_o their_o own_o which_o consist_v almost_o in_o nothing_o else_o but_o in_o contraction_n and_o dilatation_n for_o the_o fibre_n be_v make_v short_a by_o their_o irrigation_n they_o draw_v the_o body_n with_o they_o into_o that_o figure_n which_o follow_v out_o of_o their_o contraction_n which_o when_o the_o fibre_n be_v transverse_v be_v dilatation_n when_o other_o way_n set_v contraction_n 5._o again_o hence_o appear_v how_o the_o progressive_a motion_n of_o a_o animal_n be_v effect_v for_o a_o animal_n which_o be_v move_v by_o walk_v whilst_o it_o stand_v still_o
