ed out. Where wee must obserue, that notwithstandinge sleepe chaineth vpp all the animall faculties for the time, restraineinge them from theire vsuall actions, yet many wakeinge actions are performed in the time of sleepe, and those sometimes surpassinge those of wakeinge men. Nowe beecause these actions are of two Sorts (both of them vo = luntary) the one appertaineinge to locall motion, and the other to sense and vnderstandinge: I will first beeginne with motion, which dependinge immediately vppon the direction of the will together with the intention of the mynde, must necessarily rest when it resteth. For if whiles wee wake noe limme mooueth but at the Wills commaunde, then much lesse Should any bee able to stirre, when that is vnder the commaunde of Sleepe. The immediate instrument of Motion is the Muscle, which consistinge of many seue = rall parts borroweth his principall helpe from the sinewes: whose originall beeinge deriued from the braine, receiueth allso his motiue facultye from the same: whose power beeinge nowe inter = cepted by sleepe, must needs defraude the sinewe his dependent of his vsuall sustentation. which notwithstandinge may seeme to bee otherwise in the action of breathinge accompanynge sleepe. At which time the Muscles of the brest and belly mooue for dilatation and contraction. Whervnto Galen s reply is reddy. For actions are either simply naturall, as conco c tion, Distribution, &c, or meerly voluntary, as speech, walkeinge, &c, or mixt, as the excretion of vrine, and the like: ......... wherof Nemesius speaketh aptly, Animae opus cum Naturae ma = .. ...... nere coniunctum esse: And Galen .
