figure_n nay_o i_o have_v observe_v some_o mesh_n to_o have_v 5_o 6_o 7_o 8_o or_o 9_o side_n and_o some_o to_o have_v only_o one_o so_o exceed_v various_a be_v the_o lusus_fw-la naturae_fw-la in_o this_o body_n as_o to_o the_o outward_a appearance_n of_o this_o vegetative_a body_n they_o be_v so_o usual_a every_o where_o that_o i_o need_v not_o describe_v they_o consist_v of_o a_o soft_a and_o porous_a substance_n represent_v a_o lock_n sometime_o a_o fleece_n of_o wool_n but_o it_o have_v beside_o these_o small_a microscopical_a pore_n which_o lie_v between_o the_o fibre_n a_o multitude_n of_o round_a pore_n or_o hole_n which_o from_o the_o top_n of_o it_o pierce_v into_o the_o body_n and_o sometime_o go_v quite_o through_o to_o the_o bottom_n i_o have_v observe_v many_o of_o these_o sponge_n to_o have_v include_v likewise_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o fibrous_a contexture_n pretty_a large_a friable_a stone_n which_o must_v either_o have_v be_v enclose_v while_o this_o

that_o any_o of_o these_o stony_a substance_n be_v perforate_v with_o the_o fibre_n of_o the_o sponge_n i_o have_v never_o see_v nor_o be_v inform_v of_o the_o true_a manner_n of_o the_o grow_a of_o sponge_n on_o the_o rock_n whether_o they_o be_v find_v to_o increase_v from_o little_a to_o great_a like_o vegetable_n that_o be_v part_n after_o part_n or_o like_a animal_n all_o part_n equal_o grow_v together_o or_o whether_o they_o be_v matrices_fw-la or_o seed-bagg_n of_o any_o kind_n of_o fish_n or_o some_o kind_n of_o watery_a insect_n or_o whether_o they_o be_v at_o any_o time_n more_o soft_a and_o tender_a or_o of_o another_o nature_n and_o texture_n which_o thing_n if_o i_o know_v i_o shall_v much_o desire_n to_o be_v inform_v of_o but_o from_o a_o cursory_a view_n that_o i_o at_o first_o make_v with_o my_o microscope_n and_o some_o other_o trial_n i_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v some_o animal_n substance_n cast_v out_o and_o fasten_v upon_o the_o rock_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o froth_n or_o congery_n of_o bubble_n like_o that_o which_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v on_o rosemary_n and_o other_o plant_n wherein_o be_v include_v a_o little_a insect_n that_o all_o the_o little_a film_n which_o divide_v these_o bubble_n one_o from_o another_o do_v present_o almost_o after_o the_o substance_n begin_v to_o grow_v a_o little_a hard_o break_v and_o leave_v only_o the_o thread_n behind_o which_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o angle_n or_o thread_n between_o the_o bubble_n that_o the_o great_a hole_n or_o pore_n observable_a in_o these_o sponge_n be_v make_v by_o the_o eruption_n of_o the_o include_v heterogeneous_a substance_n whether_o air_n or_o some_o other_o body_n for_o many_o other_o fluid_a body_n will_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o break_v out_o of_o the_o lesser_a be_v collect_v into_o very_o large_a bubble_n and_o so_o may_v make_v their_o way_n out_o of_o the_o sponge_n and_o in_o their_o passage_n may_v leave_v a_o round_a cavity_n and_o if_o it_o be_v large_a may_v carry_v up_o with_o it_o the_o adjacent_a bubble_n which_o may_v be_v perceive_v at_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o sponge_n if_o it_o be_v first_o thorough_o wet_v and_o suffer_v to_o plump_a itself_o into_o its_o natural_a form_n or_o be_v then_o wring_v dry_a and_o suffer_v to_o expand_v itself_o again_o which_o it_o will_v free_o do_v while_o moist_a for_o when_o it_o have_v thus_o plump_v itself_o into_o its_o natural_a shape_n and_o dimension_n it_o be_v obvious_a enough_o that_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o large_a hole_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o lip_n or_o rise_v round_o about_o they_o but_o the_o other_o small_a pore_n have_v little_a or_o none_o it_o may_v further_o be_v find_v that_o each_o of_o these_o great_a pore_n have_v many_o other_o small_a pore_n below_o that_o be_v unite_v unto_o it_o and_o help_v to_o constitute_v it_o almost_o like_v so_o many_o rivulet_n or_o small_a stream_n that_o contribute_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o a_o large_a river_n nor_o from_o this_o hypothesis_n will_v it_o have_v be_v difficult_a to_o explicate_v how_o those_o little_a branch_n of_o coral_n small_a stone_n shell_n and_o the_o like_a come_v to_o be_v include_v by_o these_o frothy_a body_n but_o this_o indeed_o be_v but_o a_o conjecture_n and_o upon_o a_o more_o accurate_a enquiry_n into_o the_o form_n of_o it_o with_o the_o microscope_n it_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v the_o true_a origine_fw-la of_o they_o for_o whereas_o sponge_n have_v only_o three_o arm_n which_o join_v together_o at_o each_o knot_n if_o they_o have_v be_v generate_v from_o bubble_n they_o must_v have_v have_v four_o but_o that_o they_o be_v animal_n substance_n the_o chemical_a examination_n of_o they_o seem_v to_o manifest_v they_o afford_v a_o volatile_a salt_n
