The tilt receivethuts rudiment in the Mouth, where the Aliment being broken into fmall Particles by Maftication, is infpired with airy and aetheteal Atomcs, and impregnated with Salival Liquor, and then being conveyed through the Gulet into the Stomach, is exaltcd F roduéii- with the greater parts of ferous and nervous l iquors ( exuding out of . , ‘ ' grigndcxam firft ions of the Arteries and Nerves) by which the Chyle being :{a‘ifiyciirlil- terminat the prepared in the Stomach, is thence ttaufinitted throu gh the Pylorus into 31.315239" the Intef'tines, where it is improved by new Ferments of the Pancreatick impure Juice, and Nervous Liquor; the one coming, out of the Excrctory Dnrf'fs of VolatiliSaline, and fome oily and acide Particles very well commixed. This rudiment of the firft Concoction of the Meat, by the mixture of Salival Juice in the Mouth, is more elaborated in the Stomach, by Serous ward patfeth by a fecond kind of Veifels, into the common receptacle, where Liquor dteined from the Blood, and tranfinitted into the cavity of the Stomach, where it infinuates it felf into the fubftance of the Aliment, and feve- clavian Veins, putting it into a new Fermentation, by reafon of the crude Car u tuotis and Grofs, of Volatil and fixed, Salin and Sulphureous Particles, of Acid, and Alcaly, which varioufly aé'ting and reaéiing upon one another, do caufe Intefiine Motion in the chambers of the Heart,where the Blood receiv eth a farther Exaltation, as aifociated with Nervous Liquor, fqueefed out of the extremities of Nerves, terminating into the inward Walls of the Venn tricle; and out of the right, by the contraction of the Heart, the Purple Juice is briskly forced through the Pulmonary Arteries, into the fubfiance of promulclhy the Lungs, where it isinfpired with Nitroaereal Particles (convc ed thither through the Veficies, the appendant Vefliels to the Broncliia) giving it a Scarlet hue, and a gentle flame of Life. And the Blood being afterward tranfmitted by the Pulmonary Veins into the left Ventricle of the Heart, and thence through the common and afcen- dent Trunks of the Aorta and Carotide Arteries (Where it receivcth new 31:33:33,351,gciiii‘iiciiii any, map: various ER. mCfl". , And whereas other {imple and Heterogeneous Humours, as Water, Spirit, Oyl, Saline Liquors, and the like, being mixed, do. part again from each other, and neverthelefs do all alienate with Salival Juice; by whofe mediation tliefe different Principles are reconcded to each other: Therefore this [Eilival Liquor feemeth to be a univerfal Menfiruum, which embodieth with, ceiveth a farther elaboration by Nervous Liquor, dropping out of the Nerves of the Mefcntcry, inferred into its Glands: From whence the Chyle after, Clymous parts very different from the nature of Blood.

So that the various and chief Ferments fubfervient to Fermentation which it is highly promoted in the produéiion and improvement of Chyle (by and Viral Liquor) are Salival Juice, the ferous Liquor extraé‘ted out of the Blood, the Pancreatic Juice, and the airy and atthereal Particles. Salival liquor hath_a.fermenting Quality, and though it be a clear Tranparent Subflance, yet it is not a fimple Body, being compounded of many Elements; and is more grofs than Water, and more fluid than the mucous matter of the Nofirils: and is not frothy in it< own nature, being {0 rendred by the mixture of Air, and the motion of the Tongue and Teeth in Matti- Cation. And it is of as great difficulty, as importance, to defcrib e its Nature 0 and companieth it into the Ventricle, to give it a further Exaltation ; which the Salival Juice performeth by vertue of many Elemputspf which it is Integrated, it being, a Compofition, oflarge VVatry and ioinc Nervous Liquor, and of reth the Alimentary Liquor from the gtoffer Faces, by a kind of Precipitation, which it elfe‘fteth by its Watry, Saline, and forne very few Acidc Particles, affecting this Serous Liquor; which very much contributeth to the produéiion of Chyle in the Stomach, which being carried into the luteftines, is farther attenuated and improved by the Pancreatic Juice, which is of thin Tranfparent Subftauce, and of a fweetiih tafte, inclining fomewhat to Sub- 'acide, and is endued with Fermentative difpoiition 3 as it is a ferous and faline part of the Blood, imprazgnated with volatil faliiie Particles, derived from Nervous Liquor, tranlinitted into the body of the Pancreas, and mixed with ferous Particles, which are conveyed by a common l‘uéi into the lute« Silival Liquririsa kind ol'univeiiil inenlliuum, as embodiclh wth tliiicA'CEL Liquor.
