THE INTRODUCTION

A INTRODUÇÃO

Nature (the art whereby God hath made and governes the world) is by the art of man, as in many other things, so in this also imitated, that it can make an Artificial Animal.

A Natureza (a arte pela qual Deus fez e governa o mundo) é, pela arte do homem, como em muitas outras coisas, assim também nisto imitada, de modo que pode criar um Animal Artificial.

For seeing life is but a motion of Limbs, the begining whereof is in some principall part within; why may we not say, that all Automata (Engines that move themselves by springs and wheeles as doth a watch) have an artificiall life?

Pois vendo que a vida não é senão um movimento dos Membros, cujo início se encontra em alguma parte principal interior; por que não poderíamos dizer que todos os Autômatos (Engenhos que se movem por molas e rodas como faz um relógio) possuem uma vida artificial?

For what is the Heart, but a Spring; and the Nerves, but so many Strings; and the Joynts, but so many Wheeles, giving motion to the whole Body, such as was intended by the Artificer?

Pois o que é o Coração, senão uma Mola; e os Nervos, senão tantos Fios; e as Juntas, senão tantas Rodas, dando movimento a todo o Corpo, tal como foi pretendido pelo Artífice?

Art goes yet further, imitating that Rationall and most excellent worke of Nature, Man.

A Arte vai ainda mais longe, imitando aquela obra Racional e mais excelente da Natureza, o Homem.
