Book III. 100; X the nervous Liquor is percolatedg thence dil'tillingdnto the'Cavity of the Stomach, and infmuates it {elf ( as impregnated With vo-latil faline Parti- cles) into the fubftance of the Aliment, ‘and openeth its Compage, ffi vering by faltind of precipitation or colliquation at lead, the Alimentary Liquor from its more grofs Pd'ceJ‘; to that the nervous Liquor, eno. bled with Spirituous parts, doth embody With the ferous parts ofthe Blood (dii'tilling out of the extremities of the Arteries , Into the {ubPtance of the Glands, and thence into the Cavity of the Stomach) and make a fit thflmum to difiolve the Compage, and colliquare the Meat, but of which the Chyle is extraéted fomewhat after the manner of; Tinaure (Ad Balnei Calm-em, by the ambient heat of the Stomach) which is afterward more exalted by its farther progrefs through the In. tcf'tines by Liquor, diftilling out of the Nerves, implanted into the Glands of the Guts, and thence tranfmitted by many minute Duds into their Cavities; wherein the Chyle being meliorated and atenuated by the accefs of this nervous Jnyce, is carried by the firft Lafittf, into the gfcendent Trunk, and carotide Arteries into the Cortex Air, received by the Noflrils, is carried through the 0f; into which allo the @OIx'gio/hifz into the Ventricles of the Brain, and through the porous parts of various Proceffes, into the ambient parts ofthe Brain, Where the Air embodieth with the ferous parts of the Blood ( fecemed from the Purple Liquor in the fubftance ofthe Cortical Glands) and highly improvuh it with its active, nitrous elaftick Particles, very much enobled with aethereal minute Bodies, derived from the Calefiial Influxes of the Sun, and other Planets; to that this exalted fpiritUOUS Liquor is firfi generated in the Cortex of the Brain ; from whence it is tianfmitted into the Origens of numerous Fibrils (taking their rife in the Cortical Glands) and afterward propagated by many minute Fibres, through the various Proceffes of the Brain, to the Trunks of the Nerves (Firli appearing about the Medulla Oblofiglltil ) and then the Animal Liquor iscarried between the Filaments of greater and lefs branches of Nerves, into all parts of the Body, to give them Senfe, Motion, and Nourifhment; ofwhich I intend now to give a briefaccount. Glands of the Mefentery, where it eneountreth a juyce dropping Olltof The er‘enr/inzza of the Vifcem and Mufcular Parts, chiefly made up of the terminations of the Nerves, and is farther matured, and afterward imported by a Second kind of laéteal Velfels, (taking their rife in the greater and finaller Vedéls, confil'ting of Trunks, and many Branches, Ra- Mefenterick Glands ) into the common receptacle, in which the Lympbr, impregnated with fome part of the nervous Liquor (as being a Recrement of it) doth both dilute and attenuate the Chyme, and render it more fit to be tranfmitted through the thoraciolt Dué‘ts, into the fubclavian Veins, wherein it meeteth with more Lympba (acted with form part of nervous Juyce) conveyed by the Lymphzeduéts of the upper Region, and its adjacent parts, into the Veifels feared under the Clavi'cles, in which the Chyme dOth firft ofall affociate with the Blood, and is adopted into the vital Family, and is afterward carried down by the de- fcendent Trunk of the (4714, into the Right Cifiern of the Heart, Wherein it grmveth more refined by a mixture of liquor, fqueezed by frequent Contractions of the Heart, out of the terminations of the numerous Fibres, derived from the recurrent intercof‘ral Nerves, and the branches of the 'Par 'Jdgltw, inferred into the inward Walls of the Right Chamber of the Heart, out of which the Blood being impelled through the pulmonary Artery into the fubPrance of the Lungs, (where, asI humbly conceive) it receivcth the Tinéture ofa Liquor, diftilling out of the nervous Fibres implanted into the Bronchia, Veficles, and Coats of the Arteries of the I, tings, and afterward the Blood being meliorated with nervous liquor, is received into the extremities of the pulmonary Veins, and tranfmitted into the Left Ventricle of the Heart, wherein it is farther hightened by a Juyce, coming out ofthe Fibres, ending into the inward Coat of the Left Sir/Hr; from whence it is thrown firft into the common, and then into the afcendent Trunk of the Aorta, whofe outward Coat is encircled with many divaricarions of Nerves, inferted into the inward RCCCB‘S of this great Arrey 3 to that the Blood pafling through it, and the Carotide Arteries, is embodied with a choice Liquor (dropping out of the temiim' tions of nervous Fibrils) and afterward imported into as a Syf'teme of many fmall Glands, in which is madeE116a Cortex ofthf Brain, percolation of [he ""1 Liquor, by feverii g the more mild part from the Red CraifamemThis gentle liquor is exalted by the volatil Salt of the Brain , and is inixcd with nitrous elaftick Particles of Air, Firfl: imparted to the Blood In the legS, and afterward conveyed With it through the Heart, and the ' afcendent inulets, and Capillaries of Blood-veffels, and Plexes, and Fibres of Nerves, Lymphaeduéts, and alfo Membranes, which are fine Contextures, compoleni for the moft part of numerous Fibrils, eurioufly interwoven, interfperfed with many Branches of various Sanguiduéis. The Blood is impelled out of the terminations of the Arteries, into the {paces ( running between the Veffels) wherein its more mild and cril'talline part embodies With a fine Liquor, diltilling out of the extremities ofthe Nerves ; fo that the greateft part ofthe Blood, being mixed with the nervous Juyce in the Interfiices of the Veffels, infinuates it felf through the minute Pores of the Coats ( relating to the Vefléls) and Fibres of Mem- branes: fo that the Atomes of the Swarm nutririm agreeing in {hape and lize with the Pores of the Coats of the Veflels, and other Membranes, is car» tied into their molt inward Recefles, where it groweth more folid, and by a kind of accretion, uniterh it felf to the body of the Vefsels and Membranes, and becometh one entire fubl'tance with them, which is called Aflimilation, chiefly acted by nervous Liquor, infpiring the ferous parts of the Blood with Animal Spirits, giving a power to the Succm nutricz'ur, fitly to acctefce and configure it felf to the unequal inward furfaces of the lank folid parts, by replenilhing their fpaces, rendred empty by the heat of the BlOOd, Opening the Pores of the Body, and breathing out conflant Efllu7/14.
