Principio nequeunt ullius corporis esse sensus ante ipsam genitam naturam animantis, nimirum quia materies disiecta tenetur aere fluminibus terris terraque creatis, nec congressa modo vitalis convenientes contulit inter se motus, quibus omnituentes accensi sensus animantem quamque tuentur.
In the first place, there can be no sensation in any body before the living being has been actually formed, because of course the matter is held dispersed abroad in air, rivers, earth, and what grows from the earth, and not having come together yet, it has not formed that combination of appropriate vital motions by which all-perceiving sensations being kindled protect each living thing.
