THe reason which perswades me that the soul can have no other place in the whole body but this kernell where shee immediatly exercises for functions is for that I see: all the other parts of our brain are paired, as also we have two eyes,
two hands, two ears: lastly, all the organs of our exteriour senses are double: and forasmuch as we have but one onely, and single thought of one very thing at one and the same time, it must necessarily be that there is some place where the two images that come from the two eyes, or the two other impressions that come from any single object through the double organs of the other senses, have some where to meet in one, before they come to the soul, that they may not repre∣sent two objects in stead of one; and it may bee easily conceived, that these images, or other im∣pressions joyn together in this kernell by inter∣course of the spirits that fill the cavities of the brain; but there is no other place in the body where they can be so united, unlesse it be granted that they are in this kernell.
