Notwithſtanding this ſhe grew lean an ; B weak, and continu'd a while in a languiſhing Cond Þ tion, till at laſt ſhe Dyed, and then all her Motions an Actions ceas d. When the Boy perceived her in thi 'F — Condition, he was ready to dye for Grief, He call ber with the ſame Voice which ſhe us'd to anſwer te and made what Noiſe he could, but there was no Mc tion, no Alteration. Then he began to peep into he * Eyes and Ears. but could perceive no viſible Defet in eitker; in like manner he examin'd all the Parts her Body, and found nothing amiſs, but every thing az it ſhould be. He had a vehement Deſire to find, i * poſſible, that Part where the Defect was, that he migh remove it, and ſee her return to her former State of Lif _ andVigour. But he was altogether at a loſs, how to com paſs his Deſign, nor could he pid bring it about Sekt. 11. That which put him upon this Search was what he obſerv'd in himſelf. He took Notice th: when he ſhut his Eyes, or held any thing before then he could ſee nothing at all, till that Obſtacle was moved and ſo when he put his Fingers into his Ea that he could not hear, till he took em out again 5 and when he cloſed his Noſtrils together, he ſmelt ne _ __- thing, till they were open' d; from whence he conclu ded, that all his Senſes and Actions were liable to Ol ſtacles and Impediments, upon the removal of which the ſame Operations return'd to their former Courſe Therefore when he had examin'd every External Par of her. and found no viſible Defe&, and yer at th fame Time percetv'd an univerſal Ceſſation of Motiot in the whole Body, not peculiar to one Member, but common to them all, he began to imagin that the; Hurt was in ſome Parr, which was moſt remote frogs the Sight, and hidden in the inward Part of the Body and that this Part was of ſuch Nature and Uſe; that without its Help, none of the other External Par ..-_ could exerciſe their proper Functions; and wry 3 - ne 11 * * s Part ſuffer any Hurt, the Damage was Uni verſalß d a Ceſſation of the whole enſu cl. gect. 12.
