wherefore_o i_o will_v return_v to_o my_o simple_a opinion_n and_o as_o i_o can_v conceive_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v beyond_o matter_n or_o a_o body_n so_o i_o believe_v according_a to_o my_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o part_n in_o nature_n be_v it_o never_o so_o subtle_a or_o small_a but_o be_v a_o self-moving_a substance_n or_o endue_v with_o self-motion_n and_o according_a to_o the_o regularity_n and_o irregularity_n of_o these_o motion_n all_o natural_a effect_n be_v produce_v either_o perfect_a or_o imperfect_a timely_a birth_n or_o untimely_a and_o monstrous_a birth_n death_n health_n and_o disease_n good_a and_o ill_a disposition_n natural_a and_o extravagant_a appetite_n and_o passion_n i_o say_v natural_a that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o figure_n sympathy_n and_o antipathy_n peace_n and_o war_n rational_a and_o fantastical_a opinion_n nevertheless_o all_o these_o motion_n whether_o regular_a or_o irregular_a be_v natural_a for_o regularity_n and_o irregularity_n have_v but_o a_o respect_n to_o particular_n and_o to_o our_o conception_n because_o those_o motion_n which_o move_v not_o after_o the_o ordinary_a common_a or_o usual_a way_n or_o manner_n we_o call_v irregular_a but_o the_o curiosity_n and_o variety_n in_o nature_n be_v unconceivable_a by_o any_o particular_a creature_n and_o so_o leave_v it_o i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xxx_o madam_n your_o author_n say_v digestion_n it_o be_v a_o ancient_a truth_n that_o whatsoever_o thing_n meat_n be_v digest_v and_o cast_v out_o by_o vomit_n be_v of_o a_o sour_a taste_n and_o smell_v yea_o although_o they_o be_v season_v with_o much_o sugar_n but_o i_o do_v not_o assent_v to_o this_o opinion_n for_o i_o think_v that_o some_o vomit_n have_v no_o more_o taste_n then_o pure_a water_n have_v neither_o be_o i_o of_o his_o mind_n that_o digestion_n be_v hasten_v by_o sharpness_n or_o tartness_n for_o do_v but_o try_v it_o by_o one_o simple_a experiment_n take_v any_o kind_n of_o flesh-meat_n boil_v or_o stew_v it_o with_o vinegar_n or_o sour_a wine_n or_o with_o much_o salt_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o it_o do_v require_v a_o long_a time_n or_o rather_o more_o motion_n to_o dissolve_v then_o if_o you_o boil_v it_o in_o fair_a water_n without_o such_o ingredient_n as_o be_v sour_a sharp_a or_o salt_n also_o if_o you_o do_v but_o observe_v you_o will_v find_v the_o dregs_o more_o sandy_a stony_a and_o hard_a be_v dress_v with_o much_o salt_n and_o sharp_a wine_n or_o vinegar_n then_o when_o they_o be_v not_o mix_v with_o such_o contract_n and_o fix_v ingredient_n wherefore_o if_o the_o ferment_n of_o the_o stomach_n have_v such_o a_o restringent_a and_o contract_a quality_n certain_o digestion_n will_v be_v but_o slow_a and_o unprofitable_a but_o nature_n require_v expulsion_n as_o much_o as_o attraction_n and_o dilation_n as_o much_o as_o contraction_n and_o digestion_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o dilation_n wherefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n contract_v tartness_n and_o sharpness_n do_v rather_o hinder_v digestion_n then_o further_o it_o next_o i_o perceive_v your_o author_n incline_v to_o the_o opinion_n that_o choler_n be_v not_o make_v by_o meat_n i._n but_o i_o will_v ask_v he_o whether_o any_o humour_n be_v make_v ofmeat_n or_o whether_o blood_n flesh_n etc._n etc._n be_v make_v and_o nourish_v by_o meat_n if_o they_o be_v not_o than_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o we_o eat_v to_o no_o purpose_n but_o if_o they_o be_v than_o choler_n be_v make_v so_o too_o but_o if_o he_o say_v that_o sorne_n be_v make_v and_o some_o not_o then_o i_o will_v ask_v what_o that_o humour_n be_v make_v of_o that_o be_v not_o make_v by_o meat_n or_o food_n receive_v into_o the_o body_n but_o we_o find_v that_o humour_n blood_n flesh_n etc._n etc._n will_v be_v sometime_o more_o sometime_o less_o according_a either_o to_o feed_v or_o to_o digestion_n which_o digestion_n be_v a_o contribution_n of_o food_n to_o every_o several_a part_n of_o the_o body_n for_o its_o nourishment_n and_o when_o there_o be_v a_o decay_n ofthose_n part_n than_o it_o be_v cause_v either_o by_o fast_v or_o by_o irregular_a digestion_n or_o by_o extraordinary_a evacuation_n or_o by_o distemper_a matter_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o cause_v sickness_n paleness_n leanness_n weakness_n and_o the_o like_a again_o your_o author_n be_v against_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o school_n that_o the_o gall_n be_v a_o receptacle_n of_o superfluous_a humour_n and_o dregs_o for_o he_o say_v it_o have_v rather_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o necessary_a and_o vital_a bowel_v and_o be_v the_o balsom_a of_o the_o liver_n and_o blood_n true_o it_o may_v be_v so_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v or_o it_o may_v be_v not_o for_o your_o author_n can_v but_o guess_v not_o assure_o know_v unless_o he_o have_v be_v in_o a_o man_n as_o big_a as_o the_o whale_n in_o who_o belly_n ionas_n be_v three_o day_n and_o have_v observe_v the_o interior_a part_n and_o motion_n of_o every_o part_n for_o three_o year_n time_n and_o yet_o he_o may_v perchance_o have_v be_v as_o ignorant_a at_o the_o come_n forth_o as_o if_o he_o never_o have_v be_v there_o for_o nature_n action_n be_v not_o only_o curious_a but_o very_o various_a and_o not_o only_o various_a but_o very_o obscure_a in_o so_o much_o as_o the_o most_o ingenious_a artist_n can_v trace_v her_o way_n or_o imitate_v her_o action_n for_o art_n be_v but_o a_o creature_n can_v do_v or_o know_v no_o more_o than_o a_o creature_n and_o although_o she_o be_v a_o ingenious_a creature_n which_o can_v and_o have_v find_v out_o some_o thing_n profitable_a and_o useful_a for_o the_o life_n of_o other_o yet_o she_o be_v but_o a_o handmaid_n to_o nature_n and_o not_o her_o mistress_n which_o your_o author_n in_o my_o opinion_n too_o rash_o affirm_v when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o art_n of_o chemistry_n be_v not_o only_o the_o chambermaid_n and_o emulate_a ape_n but_o now_o and_o efficient_o then_o the_o mistress_n of_o nature_n for_o art_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o prefer_v the_o effect_n before_o the_o cause_n be_v absurd_a but_o concern_v chemistry_n i_o have_v speak_v in_o another_o place_n i_o will_v return_v to_o my_o former_a discourse_n and_o i_o wonder_v much_o why_o your_o author_n be_v so_o opposite_a to_o the_o school_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gall_n be_v a_o receptacle_n for_o superfluity_n and_o dregs_o for_o i_o think_v there_o be_v not_o any_o creature_n that_o have_v not_o place_n or_o receptacle_n for_o superfluous_a matter_n such_o as_o we_o call_v dregs_o for_o even_o the_o pure_a and_o hard_a mineral_n as_o gold_n have_v its_o dross_n although_o in_o a_o less_o proportion_n than_o some_o other_o creature_n nay_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o even_o light_a which_o your_o author_n do_v so_o much_o worship_n may_v have_v some_o superfluous_a matter_n which_o may_v be_v name_v dregs_o and_o since_o nature_n have_v make_v part_n in_o all_o creature_n to_o receive_v and_o discharge_v superfluous_a matter_n which_o receive_v and_o discharge_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o join_n and_o divide_v of_o part_n to_o and_o from_o part_n why_o may_v not_o the_o gall_n be_v as_o well_o for_o that_o use_n as_o any_o other_o part_n but_o i_o pray_v mistake_v i_o not_o when_o i_o say_v superfluous_a matter_n or_o dregs_o for_o i_o understand_v by_o it_o that_o which_o be_v not_o useful_a to_o the_o nourishment_n or_o confistence_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o creature_n but_o to_o speak_v proper_o there_o be_v neither_o superfluity_n of_o matter_n nor_o dregs_o in_o nature_n moreover_o your_o author_n mention_n a_o six-fold_n digestion_n and_o make_v every_o digestion_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o inbrethe_v or_o inspiration_n for_o in_o the_o first_o digestion_n he_o say_v the_o spleen_n do_v inspire_v a_o sour_a ferment_n into_o the_o meat_n in_o the_o second_o the_o gall_n do_v inspire_v a_o ferment_n or_o fermental_a blas_fw-es into_o the_o slender_a entrail_n in_o the_o three_o the_o liver_n do_v inspire_v a_o bloody_a ferment_n into_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o mensentery_n etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v first_o i_o be_o confident_a nature_n have_v more_o way_n then_o to_o work_v only_o by_o inspiration_n not_o only_o in_o general_n but_o in_o every_o particular_a next_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v not_o only_o six_o but_o many_o more_o digestion_n in_o a_o animal_n creature_n for_o not_o only_o every_o sort_n of_o food_n but_o every_o bit_n that_o be_v eat_v may_v require_v a_o several_a digestion_n and_o every_o several_a part_n of_o the_o body_n work_v either_o to_o expel_v or_o preserve_v or_o for_o both_o so_o that_o there_o be_v numerous_a several_a motion_n in_o every_o creature_n and_o many_o change_n of_o motion_n in_o each_o particular_a part_n but_o nature_n be_v in_o they_o all_o and_o so_o leave_v she_o
