those_o part_n that_o be_v together_o may_v so_o join_v and_o move_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o to_o be_v the_o same_o creature_n it_o be_v before_o its_o dissolution_n i_o answer_v it_o may_v

minor_a part_n be_v that_o nature_n have_v foreknowledge_n by_o reason_n all_o that_o be_v material_a be_v part_n of_o herself_o and_o those_o self-part_n have_v self-motion_n she_o may_v foreknow_v what_o she_o will_v act_v and_o so_o what_o they_o shall_v know_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o major_a part_n be_v that_o by_o reason_n every_o part_n have_v self-motion_n and_o natural_a freewill_n nature_n can_v not_o foreknow_v how_o they_o will_v move_v although_o she_o may_v know_v how_o they_o have_v move_v or_o how_o they_o do_v move_v after_o this_o dispute_n be_v end_v then_o there_o be_v a_o dispute_n whether_o the_o particular_a part_n have_v a_o foreknowledge_n of_o self-knowledg_n the_o opinion_n of_o the_o minor_a part_n be_v that_o since_o every_o part_n in_o nature_n have_v self-motion_n and_o natural_a freewill_n every_o part_n can_v know_v how_o they_o shall_v move_v and_o so_o what_o they_o shall_v know_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o major_a part_n be_v that_o first_o the_o self-knowledg_n do_v alter_v according_a to_o self-action_n among_o the_o self-moving_a part_n but_o the_o self-knowledg_n of_o the_o inanimate_a part_n do_v alter_v according_a to_o the_o action_n of_o the_o sensitive_a self-moving_a part_n and_o the_o perceptive_a action_n of_o the_o self-moving_a part_n be_v according_a to_o the_o form_n and_o action_n of_o the_o object_n so_o that_o foreknowledge_n of_o foreign_a part_n or_o creature_n can_v not_o be_v and_o for_o foreknowledge_n of_o self-knowledg_n of_o the_o self-moving_a part_n there_o be_v so_o many_o occasional_a action_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a the_o self-moving_a part_n can_v know_v how_o they_o shall_v move_v by_o reason_n that_o no_o part_n have_v a_o absolute_a power_n although_o they_o be_v self-moving_a and_o have_v a_o natural_a freewill_n which_o prove_v that_o prophecy_n be_v somewhat_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o dream_n whereof_o some_o may_v prove_v true_a by_o chance_n but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o be_v false_a the_o eight_o part._n chap._n i._o of_o the_o irregularity_n of_o nature_n part_n some_z may_v make_v this_o question_n that_o if_o nature_n be_v self-moving_a and_o have_v freewill_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o she_o will_v never_o move_v her_o part_n so_o irregular_o as_o to_o put_v herself_o to_o pain_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o nature_n part_n move_v themselves_o and_o be_v not_o move_v by_o any_o agent_n second_o though_o nature_n part_n be_v self-moving_a and_o self-knowing_a yet_o they_o have_v not_o a_o infinite_a or_o uncontrollable_a power_n for_o several_a part_n and_o party_n oppose_v and_o ofttimes_o obstruct_v each_o other_o so_o that_o many_o time_n they_o be_v force_v to_o move_v and_o they_o may_v not_o when_o they_o will_v three_o some_o part_n may_v occasion_v other_o part_n to_o be_v irregular_a and_o keep_v themselves_o in_o a_o regular_a posture_n last_o nature_n fundamental_a action_n be_v so_o poise_v that_o irregular_a

so_o numerous_a that_o i_o can_v describe_v they_o by_o reason_n i_o be_o not_o so_o learned_a to_o know_v they_o but_o some_o part_n of_o a_o human_a creature_n man_n name_v vital_a because_o the_o least_o disturbance_n of_o any_o of_o those_o part_n endanger_v the_o human_a life_n and_o if_o any_o of_o those_o vital_a part_n be_v diminish_v i_o doubt_v whether_o they_o can_v be_v restore_v but_o if_o some_o of_o those_o part_n can_v be_v restore_v i_o doubt_v all_o can_v the_o vital_a part_n be_v the_o heart_n liver_n lung_n stomach_n kidney_n bladder_n gaul_n gut_n brain_n radical_a humour_n or_o vital_a spirit_n and_o other_o which_o i_o know_v not_o of_o but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o man_n be_v compose_v of_o rare_a and_o solid_a part_n of_o which_o there_o be_v more_o and_o less_o solid_a more_o and_o less_o rare_a as_o also_o different_a sort_n of_o solid_a and_o different_a sort_n of_o rare_a also_o different_a sort_n of_o soft_a and_o hard_a part_n likewise_o of_o fix_a and_o loose_a part_n also_o of_o swift_a and_o slow_a part_n i_o mean_v by_o fix_v those_o that_o be_v more_o firm_o unite_v chap._n iii_o of_o human_a humour_n hvmour_n be_v such_o part_n that_o some_o of_o they_o may_v be_v divide_v from_o the_o whole_a body_n without_o danger_n to_o the_o whole_a body_n so_o that_o they_o be_v somewhat_o like_o excremental_a part_n which_o excremental_a part_n be_v the_o superfluous_a part_n for_o though_o the_o humour_n be_v so_o necessary_a that_o the_o body_n can_v not_o well_o subsist_v without_o they_o yet_o a_o superfluity_n of_o they_o be_v as_o dangerous_a if_o not_o more_o as_o a_o scarcity_n but_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o humour_n belong_v to_o a_o human_a creature_n although_o man_n name_v but_o four_o according_a to_o the_o four_o element_n viz._n phlegm_n choler_n melancholy_a and_o blood_n but_o in_o my_o opinion_n there_o be_v not_o only_o several_a sort_n of_o choler_n phlegm_n melancholy_a and_o blood_n but_o other_o sort_n that_o be_v none_o of_o these_o four_n chap._n iu._n of_o blood_n i_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a man_n be_v that_o all_o animal_n creature_n have_v blood_n or_o at_o least_o such_o juice_n that_o be_v in_o lieu_n of_o blood_n which_o blood_n or_o juice_n move_v circular_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o too_o ignorant_a to_o dispute_v with_o learned_a man_n but_o yet_o i_o be_o confident_a a_o moth_n which_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o worm_n or_o fly_v that_o eat_v cloth_n have_v no_o blood_n no_o nor_o any_o juice_n for_o so_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v touch_v it_o dissolve_v straight_o to_o a_o dry_a dust_n or_o like_a ash_n and_o there_o be_v many_o other_o animal_n or_o infect_v that_o have_v no_o appearance_n of_o blood_n therefore_o the_o life_n of_o a_o animal_n do_v not_o consist_v of_o blood_n and_o as_o for_o the_o circulation_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v many_o animal_n creature_n that_o have_v not_o proper_a vessel_n as_o vein_n and_o artery_n or_o any_o such_o gutter_n for_o their_o blood_n or_o juice_n to_o circulate_v through_o but_o say_v the_o blood_n of_o man_n or_o of_o such_o like_a animal_n do_v circulate_a than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v study_v whether_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o blood_n do_v intermix_v with_o each_o other_o as_o it_o flow_v or_o whether_o it_o flow_v as_o water_n seem_v to_o do_v where_o the_o follow_a part_n may_v be_v as_o great_a stranger_n to_o the_o lead_a part_n as_o in_o a_o crowd_n of_o people_n where_o some_o of_o those_o behind_o do_v not_o know_v those_o that_o be_v before_o but_o if_o the_o blood_n do_v not_o intermix_v as_o it_o flow_v than_o it_o will_v be_v very_o difficult_a for_o a_o chirurgeon_n or_o physician_n to_o find_v where_o the_o ill_a blood_n run_v beside_o if_o the_o blood_n be_v continual_o flow_v when_o a_o sick_a man_n be_v to_o be_v let_v blood_n before_o the_o vein_n be_v open_v the_o bad_a blood_n may_v be_v past_o that_o part_n or_o vein_n and_o so_o only_a the_o good_a blood_n will_v be_v let_v out_o and_o then_o the_o man_n may_v become_v worse_o than_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v let_v blood_n chap._n v._o of_o the_o radical_a humour_n or_o part_n there_o be_v many_o part_n in_o a_o human_a body_n that_o be_v as_o the_o foundation_n of_o a_o house_n and_o be_v the_o foundation_n if_o any_o of_o those_o part_n be_v remove_v or_o decay_v the_o house_n immediate_o fall_v to_o ruin_v these_o fundamental_a part_n be_v those_o we_o name_v the_o vital_a part_n among_o which_o be_v those_o part_n we_o name_v the_o vital_a and_o radical_a spirit_n which_o be_v the_o oil_n and_o flame_n of_o a_o human_a creature_n cause_v the_o body_n to_o have_v that_o we_o name_v a_o natural_a heat_n and_o a_o radical_a moisture_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o these_o part_n or_o corporeal_a motion_n be_v not_o like_o gross_a oil_n or_o flame_n for_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v more_o difference_n between_o those_o flame_n and_o ordinary_a flame_n than_o between_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o
this_o be_v most_o visible_a among_o human_a creature_n who_o some_o sort_n of_o food_n will_v make_v weak_a sick_a faint_a lean_a pale_a old_a and_o wither_a other_o sort_n of_o food_n will_v make_v

several_a produce_v creature_n but_o the_o difference_n of_o those_o production_n we_o name_v natural_a and_o artificial_a be_v that_o the_o natural_a be_v produce_v from_o the_o producer_n own_o part_n whereas_o the_o artificial_a be_v produce_v by_o compose_v or_o join_v or_o mix_v several_a foreign_a part_n and_o not_o any_o of_o the_o particular_a part_n of_o their_o compose_a society_n for_o artificial_a thing_n be_v not_o produce_v as_o animal_n vegetable_n mineral_n or_o the_o like_a but_o only_o they_o be_v certain_a several_a mixture_n of_o some_o of_o the_o divide_a or_o dead_a part_n as_o i_o may_v say_v of_o mineral_n vegetable_n element_n and_o the_o like_a but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o all_o or_o at_o least_o most_o be_v but_o copy_v and_o not_o original_n but_o some_o may_v ask_v whether_o artificial_a production_n have_v sense_n reason_n and_o perception_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o all_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a part_n of_o nature_n be_v

some_o part_n compose_v or_o unite_v as_o well_o as_o some_o part_n dissolve_v or_o disunite_v all_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o species_n will_n and_o must_v last_v so_o long_o as_o nature_n last_v but_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o mean_v such_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o species_n as_o we_o name_v natural_a that_o be_v the_o fundamental_a species_n but_o not_o such_o species_n as_o we_o name_v artificial_a chap._n fourteen_o of_o different_a world_n it_o be_v probable_a if_o nature_n be_v infinite_a there_o be_v several_a kind_n and_o sort_n of_o those_o species_n society_n or_o creature_n we_o name_v world_n which_o may_v be_v so_o different_a from_o the_o frame_n form_n species_n and_o property_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o creature_n of_o this_o world_n as_o not_o to_o be_v any_o way_n like_o this_o world_n or_o the_o creature_n in_o this_o world_n but_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v not_o like_o this_o world_n as_o it_o be_v material_a and_o self-moving_a but_o not_o of_o the_o same_o species_n or_o property_n as_o for_o example_n that_o they_o have_v not_o such_o kind_n of_o creature_n or_o their_o property_n as_o light_n darkness_n heat_n cold_a dry_n wet_a soft_a hard_a leight_n heavy_n and_o the_o like_a but_o some_o may_v say_v that_o be_v impossible_a for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o world_n but_o must_v be_v either_o light_n or_o dark_a hot_a or_o cold_a dry_a or_o wet_a soft_a or_o hard_o heavy_a or_o leight_n and_o the_o like_a i_o answer_v that_o though_o those_o effect_n may_v be_v general_o beneficial_a to_o most_o of_o the_o creature_n in_o this_o world_n yet_o not_o to_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o world_n as_o for_o example_n though_o light_n be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o animal_n yet_o to_o no_o other_o

it_o never_o so_o pure_a it_o will_v be_v in_o the_o list_n or_o circle_n of_o body_n and_o certain_o the_o pure_a substance_n must_v have_v the_o property_n of_o body_n as_o to_o be_v divisible_a

which_o some_o learned_a man_n have_v imagine_v in_o my_o opinion_n they_o be_v but_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o substance_n that_o the_o vulgar_a call_n thought_n and_o i_o name_n the_o rational_a
