On the Nature of Man
Nemesius of Emesa, tr. Wither, 1636
Of that irrationall part of the Soule, which is not obedient unto reason.
Let us now speake of that part of the soul, which is not subject unto reason: For having declared that part which is obedient unto reason, wee shall in good order proceed to those faculties which are disobedient thereunto; namely the faculty of nourishing, of ingendring, and of the pulses.
The faculties of nourishing, and ingendring are tearmed naturall; and the faculty of the pulses, is called vitall.
