§35.When people say that blood is more volatile than the parts to be fed so that more solid food is required, this would appear a very strong argument if all the blood was so volatile. Since themselves they admit parts of various kinds in blood, and they do not exclude chyle, it appears easily that more solid parts also would be present there if they were necessary for nutrition. However, one could question, not without reason, that there is a great difference in the solid parts and, moreover, that various humours and even spirits point out to something by far different: not to roam too far away, since there are various parts to be nourished, it is adequate that various parts are also found in the blood. Expressions such as benevolent juice and closer to chyle are partly metaphoric, partly not consistent with necessity. Neither, indeed, is it sufficiently apparent what they mean by its benevolence unless perhaps something has to be conceived opposite to a predatory force of the blood (about which, in the next thesis). Moreover, if it is supposed that a benevolent juice is required, it does not, however, follow that it is chyle or something close to chyle. All benevolent juice indeed is not chyle.
