![revocare, non libellum, sed ingens volumen ad legentium usque satietatem conscriberem. Quare ea tantummodo referam, quibus probabilior opinio innotescat. Pulmonis motum a thoracis musculis fieri, adeoque sxouciov voluntarium esse Galenus asserit [lib. 6, de usu par. c. 10, de loc. aff. 3] unde Pulmo, inquit, ex se mo- tum nullum habet, sed sequitur motum thoracis. Con- tra Galenum autem acerrime disputant Thadaeus Dunus de mente aver. 2, coli. 19. Columbus lib. 5, cap. 20. Car- pentarius in Alcin. cap. 16 qui pulmonis motum de sen- tentia Philosophi omnino naturalem, et axouaiov involun- tarium existimant. Media tandem via incedit doctis. Casp. Hoffmannus [in Gal. 6, de usu par. 10] atque ex verbis Aristotelis eruit, pulmonum motum partim sxougiov ani- malem esse, et voluntarium contra Dunum; partim axou- aov involuntarium, et naturalem esse contra Galenu [com. an. motu, c.] e cujus sententia loqui videtur Mauritius Hoffmannus; dum respirationem motum appellat natur ani- malem. Ego vero quid in hac re sentiam paucis jam aperio. Pulmonum motus duplex est, aut lenis, et mediocris, aut auctus, quem Hippocrates appellat ocvaTcvoTjv sublimem respirationem [Gal. 4, de loc. affec. cap. 4]. Primo itaque statuo lenem pulmonum motum natura- lem esse, et involuntarium, nec a thoracis musculis de- pendere, evidenter probo. Etenim in apoplexia forti thorax non movetur, sed nihilominus animal respirat; ergo ad respirationem lenem non est necessarius motus thoracis; neque quotiescumque 6](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b22330860_0085.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
