SPirite animall, is a spirite that by vertue of the brayne, is made bryghter and conue¦nient to the woorkes of the senses, & also to moue and styrre the sinowes. For I houlde well wyth them, that affyrme constantly, the hart to be the fyrste authoure and begynner of spi∣rite, and afterwarde, to take a newe nature of the brayne.
And in dede there appereth a certeyn affinitie betwene the vital & animall spirite: For loke with what spirites the heart is beste tempered, the same in the brayne, brynge forth most no∣ble and excellent affectes, how be it for all yt there is differences betwene them, because they haue dyuers of∣fyces and effectes. For the vitall spi∣rit ministreth heate to the bodye, the animall spirit styrreth vp the senses, & moueth the synowes. S••me adde vnto these another kynde of spirite, called naturall, whyche nourysheth the blood in the lyuer: But Galene douteth of it, sayeng, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, id est Si spiritus naturalis est a∣liquid, whiche is as muche to saye, as yf the naturall spirit be any thynge. For althoughe it can not be chosen, but that there muste be spirite in the lyuer, yet it is brought thyther by ye
pulces, which is a token that it com∣meth from the hert, but I wyl deter∣myne or constitute nothynge of thys matter: leauynge euery man to hys owne iudgement.
