Here be in Animals, two (orts of Motions peculiar to them: Mon-m V,-_ One called Vital/5 begun in generation, and continued tall and A- without interruption through their whole life; (uch as are "I'm/the [ourfe ofthc Blond, the Pulfe, the Breath/rag, the Coma- Hion, Nutrition,‘Excretiafl,&C;'tO which Morions there needs no helpof Imagination: The otheris Am'mallmotimptherwife called Voluntary motion-,as to £0,110 jpeae, to mow any of our limbes, in (uch manner as is firfl fancied in our minds.

Thel‘e (mall beginnings of M‘otion, within the body of Man, before they appear in walking, (peaking, (hiking, and other vifible actions, are commonly called EN D p. AVO u R. Endeavozzr.
