inquire_v whether_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v very_o soft_a in_o the_o embryo_n make_v animal_n spirit_n and_o by_o their_o assistance_n perform_v animal_n action_n i_o answer_v that_o as_o the_o

they_o can_v be_v discern_v but_o by_o degree_n the_o more_o perfect_a they_o grow_v the_o more_o perceptible_a they_o be_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o brain_n at_o the_o beginning_n may_v begin_v to_o make_v animal_n spirit_n but_o very_o few_o and_o very_o weak_a because_o there_o be_v less_o need_n of_o they_o at_o the_o beginning_n but_o the_o strong_a the_o brain_n grow_v and_o the_o more_o need_n of_o spirit_n there_o be_v the_o strong_a and_o more_o vigorous_a spirit_n it_o make_v as_o be_v apparent_a by_o that_o time_n a_o woman_n have_v go_v half_a her_o time_n when_o the_o child_n begin_v to_o stir_v which_o motion_n can_v be_v perform_v without_o those_o more_o plentiful_a spirit_n and_o from_o that_o time_n the_o brain_n be_v so_o corroborate_v that_o at_o length_n it_o beget_v more_o plentiful_a and_o vigorous_a spirit_n fit_a to_o perform_v the_o chief_a animal_n action_n which_o principal_a action_n however_o be_v idle_a in_o the_o birth_n enclose_v in_o the_o womb_n where_o there_o be_v no_o occasion_n or_o necessity_n of_o imagination_n thought_n or_o memory_n but_o the_o infant_n be_v bear_v the_o brain_n

whether_o woman_n with_o child_n be_v quick_a or_o no._n xlv_o i_o shall_v here_o add_v one_o thing_n wake_v more_o which_o be_v controvert_v among_o the_o philosopher_n whether_o the_o infant_n wake_v and_o sleep_v in_o the_o womb_n avicen_n utter_o deny_v any_o such_o thing_n however_o woman_n with_o child_n will_v tell_v you_o that_o they_o manifest_o feel_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o child_n when_o it_o be_v awake_a and_o the_o rest_n of_o it_o when_o it_o sleep_v but_o we_o be_v to_o say_v that_o sleep_n be_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o sense_n for_o the_o repair_n and_o renew_v the_o animal_n spirit_n waste_v by_o watch_v occasion_v by_o the_o contraction_n of_o the_o pore_n and_o passage_n of_o the_o brain_n on_o the_o contrary_a that_o wakefulness_n be_v a_o convenient_a

the_o brain_n and_o a_o influx_n of_o spirit_n into_o the_o organ_n of_o sense_n sufficient_a to_o perform_v the_o action_n of_o the_o sense_n the_o first_o can_v be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o extreme_a moisture_n and_o softness_n of_o the_o brain_n nor_o the_o latter_a by_o reason_n there_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o generate_v a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o spirit_n moreover_o the_o motion_n and_o feel_v of_o the_o infant_n do_v not_o presuppose_v a_o necessity_n of_o wake_v for_o that_o man_n grow_v up_o and_o mature_v by_o age_n when_o fast_o asleep_a many_o time_n tumble_v and_o toss_v
