about_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o find_v you_o think_v fire_n be_v not_o actual_o hot_a in_o itself_o but_o only_o as_o it_o affect_v the_o sensory_a and_o by_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v i_o may_v as_o well_o argue_v there_o be_v not_o one_o scholar_n in_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n and_o for_o the_o selfsame_a reason_n you_o assign_v to_o wit_n because_o i_o see_v they_o not_o and_o true_o sir_n be_v they_o all_o compose_v of_o such_o nitro-sulphureous_a elastic_a particle_n as_o yourself_o the_o assertion_n will_v prove_v true_a but_o i_o hope_v the_o old_a element_n still_o retain_v its_o connate_a quality_n and_o the_o most_o famous_a university_n a_o genuine_a offspring_n by_o the_o wonderful_a discovery_n you_o have_v be_v able_a to_o make_v you_o have_v

without_o the_o least_o show_n of_o proof_n have_v endeavour_v to_o convince_v the_o world_n that_o the_o brain_n that_o metropolis_n in_o the_o microcosm_n by_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o animal_n

part_n the_o nature_n of_o it_o to_o do_v so_o which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v mr._n bolton_n for_o the_o most_o part_n natural_o talk_v like_o a_o child_n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o nature_n to_o do_v otherwise_o you_o have_v likewise_o explain_v how_o it_o may_v be_v say_v natural_o to_o descend_v to_o wit_n when_o it_o can_v get_v upward_o which_o amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o if_o you_o have_v inform_v the_o world_n that_o have_v the_o confederate_a army_n only_o make_v use_n of_o duck_n shoot_v they_o have_v never_o be_v master_n of_o the_o castle_n of_o

to_o 300_o rebound_v your_o next_o advance_n i_o suppose_v will_v be_v about_o cobnut_n and_o marble_n in_o one_o place_n you_o assert_v fire_n be_v not_o actual_o hot_a but_o as_o it_o affect_v the_o sensory_a in_o another_o place_n you_o say_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n cause_v not_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n but_o produce_v a_o sensation_n of_o heat_n good_a sir_n be_v please_v to_o reconcile_v these_o contradiction_n and_o if_o you_o can_v divide_v betwixt_o the_o north_n and_o north-west_n side_n of_o a_o hair_n for_o any_o thing_n you_o have_v yet_o offer_v diemerbrook_n may_v be_v still_o in_o the_o right_n of_o it_o nor_o have_v you_o full_o reply_v to_o dr._n henshaw_n for_o i_o think_v you_o be_v the_o first_o man_n that_o ever_o discover_v cold_a chyle_n in_o the_o body_n of_o a_o live_a animal_n which_o i_o suppose_v be_v the_o great_a discovery_n in_o anatomy_n you_o be_v able_a to_o pretend_v to_o sir_n whether_o you_o name_v be_v any_o of_o those_o you_o mention_v to_o wit_n thomas_n robert_n or_o william_n it_o concern_v not_o i_o but_o i_o be_o pretty_a well_o satisfy_v all_o the_o name_n in_o europe_n can_v give_v you_o the_o

as_o hard_o set_v to_o explain_v intestine_a motion_n as_o a_o quaker_n to_o explain_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o spirit_n within_o he_o you_o likewise_o assert_v attrition_n to_o be_v the_o

you_o but_o i_o rather_o fear_v a_o author_n about_o the_o growth_n of_o a_o mushroom_n your_o metaphorical_a gland_n be_v proper_o so_o call_v for_o i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v there_o be_v not_o any_o such_o thing_n real_o in_o rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la the_o animal_n spirit_n you_o assert_v to_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o mucilage_n and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o affirm_v a_o rose_n to_o be_v in_o the_o surface_n of_o a_o cow-turd_n and_o the_o one_o i_o believe_v as_o true_o as_o the_o other_o you_o likewise_o assert_v they_o be_v oily_a and_o sulphureous_a because_o the_o
