And then furely , we may fatisfie our felves, that either this.,or 

 ibme way like it (which I leave unto the curious in Anatomy to 

 fettle with exactneffe ; for it is enough for my intent, to ihew 

 ingrofTehovv thefe operations may be done, without calling 

 in ibme incomprehenhble qualities to our ayd) is the courfe of 

 nature in motions , where no other :caufe in terveneth, beftdes 

 the object working upon the fenfe : which all the while it doth, 

 it is the office of the eye of fantafic or of common fenfe , to lie 

 ever open ; (till watching to obferve what warnings the out- 

 ward fenies doe lend unto him ; that accordingly he may di-

fpirits thronging upon the common fenfe , oppreffeth it (as we 

 have already laid ) in iuch fort , that the notice which the fenfe

 in the braine : and thus by the mifguidance of the heart , the 

 worke of nature is dif ordered : which when it happeneth, we

And thus you fee in common ,, how the circuit is made from 

 theobjeS to the fenfe j and from it by the common fenfe and 

 fantafie , to the heart * and from the heart backe againe to the

 of it.
