three_o in_o the_o return_n of_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o stupefy_v leg_n we_o plain_o perceive_v by_o the_o prickle_a what_o a_o flow_n motion_n the_o spirit_n have_v all_o which_o phaenomena_n do_v seem_v to_o favour_v our_o former_a conjecture_n that_o for_o motion_n the_o spirit_n move_v impetuous_o down_o the_o nervous_a filament_n which_o be_v hollow_a but_o for_o sensation_n they_o only_o creep_v by_o a_o filtration_n down_o their_o coat_n and_o membrane_n now_o these_o spirit_n be_v so_o subtle_a and_o dissipable_a the_o soul_n spend_v they_o every_o day_n in_o use_v of_o they_o and_o they_o be_v much_o spend_v she_o can_v hardly_o move_v the_o body_n any_o long_o the_o sense_n whereof_o we_o call_v lassitude_n for_o certain_o as_o doctor_n more_o very_a ingenious_o infer_v if_o it_o be_v a_o immediate_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o contribute_v motion_n to_o any_o matter_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o faculty_n never_o fail_v nor_o diminish_v no_o more_o than_o the_o soul_n itself_o can_v fail_v or_o diminish_v that_o we_o shall_v ever_o be_v weary_a thus_o be_v the_o phaenomena_n of_o sense_n and_o motion_n best_o salve_v whilst_o we_o be_v awake_a now_o what_o happen_v when_o we_o sleep_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o further_a enquiry_n some_o have_v define_v sleep_n to_o be_v a_o migration_n of_o all_o the_o spirit_n out_o of_o the_o brain_n into_o the_o exterior_a part_n of_o the_o body_n whereas_o by_o our_o former_a observation_n it_o may_v rather_o seem_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o be_v the_o retraction_n of_o the_o spirit_n into_o the_o brain_n or_o at_o least_o a_o restagnation_n of_o they_o in_o the_o nervous_a part_n do_v till_o nature_n be_v recruit_v by_o a_o new_a supply_n and_o regeneration_n of_o they_o in_o the_o

be_v make_v capable_a of_o feel_v the_o impulse_n of_o any_o external_a object_n whatever_o which_o we_o call_v walk_v and_o during_o this_o interval_n and_o non-tearm_a of_o sensation_n for_o so_o we_o may_v without_o a_o compliment_n call_v sleep_n why_o may_v not_o the_o soul_n be_v retract_v and_o whole_o intent_n upon_o and_o busy_v about_o her_o vegetative_a and_o plastical_a operation_n so_o that_o when_o she_o have_v lock_v up_o the_o door_n of_o this_o laboratory_n the_o body_n she_o may_v be_v busy_a in_o augment_v repair_v and_o regenerate_v all_o the_o organ_n and_o utensil_n within_o and_o paint_v and_o plaistr_v the_o wall_n without_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o observe_v to_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o her_o obscure_a employment_n in_o the_o womb_n where_o the_o
