press_v with_o a_o finger_n the_o end_n of_o these_o prick_n against_o its_o base_a for_o then_o through_o these_o prick_n which_o be_v transparent_a this_o liquor_n be_v manifest_o see_v to_o mount_v

they_o be_v all_o almost_o round_o that_o at_o the_o end_n they_o be_v big_a than_o towards_o the_o root_n that_o from_o one_o end_v to_o another_o they_o appear_v transparent_a as_o a_o horn_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o thread_n to_o be_v see_v in_o their_o root_n as_o in_o that_o of_o several_a plant_n he_o add_v that_o they_o be_v solid_a and_o that_o he_o have_v discover_v no_o cavity_n

yet_o the_o weave_v thereof_o be_v so_o close_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o appearance_n of_o pore_n perceive_v therein_o 6._o as_o the_o opinion_n of_o philosopher_n be_v very_o different_a touch_v the_o manner_n whereby_o fire_n be_v produce_v when_o one_o strike_v fire_n this_o author_n make_v several_a experiment_n to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o have_v then_o for_o this_o design_n strike_v fire_n upon_o a_o leaf_n of_o white_a paper_n he_o find_v at_o the_o place_n where_o the_o sparkle_n be_v fall_v little_a black_a spot_n but_o luminous_a and_o have_v consider_v they_o each_o in_o particular_a with_o a_o good_a microscope_n he_o find_v that_o they_o be_v little_a bowl_n round_o and_o shine_a among_o which_o there_o be_v two_o different_a from_o the_o other_o the_o one_o whereof_o be_v stick_v by_o one_o end_n to_o little_a bit_n of_o steel_n pretty_a long_a the_o other_o be_v but_o a_o blade_n of_o steel_n very_o small_a thereupon_o this_o author_n make_v

a_o little_o big_a 7._o but_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o admirable_a nor_o which_o better_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o mircroscope_n than_o what_o this_o author_n say_v of_o mouldiness_n it_o be_v never_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o heap_n of_o small_a plant_n and_o that_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o appear_v mouldy_a be_v as_o so_o many_o small_a meadow_n enamel_v with_o divers_a

in_o a_o coal_n they_o be_v dispose_v in_o order_n and_o white_a all_o over_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o coal_n how_o long_o soever_o it_o be_v through_o which_o one_o may_v not_o blow_v and_o if_o

inch_n long_o mr._n hook_n have_v reckon_v 150._o whence_o he_o conclude_v that_o in_o a_o coal_n of_o a_o inch_n diameter_n there_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v less_o than_o five_o million_o seven_o hundred_o fourscore_o and_o four_o thousand_o it_o be_v to_o this_o great_a quantity_n of_o pore_n that_o he_o attribute_n the_o blackness_n of_o a_o coal_n for_o he_o say_v when_o a_o body_n have_v many_o pore_n in_o which_o the_o light_n be_v not_o reflect_v it_o appear_v necessary_o black_a whereas_o blackness_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o privation_n of_o light_n or_o a_o de●ect_n of_o

which_o i_o shall_v relate_v if_o i_o have_v not_o already_o enlarge_v upon_o this_o book_n much_o more_o than_o usual_o but_o as_o it_o contain_v many_o curious_a thing_n i_o think_v the_o world_n will_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v a_o ample_a extract_n thereof_o in_o this_o journal_n a_o extract_v of_o a_o english_a journal_n contain_v some_o curious_a observation_n make_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o

he_o have_v make_v with_o the_o same_o instrument_n 1._o he_o examine_v certain_a yellow_a ground_n of_o england_n and_o flanders_n near_o the_o city_n of_o tournay_n whereof_o china_n be_v make_v and_o he_o find_v that_o it_o be_v compose_v of_o several_a small_a globe_n a_o great_a deal_n less_o than_o the_o least_o grain_n of_o sand._n those_o of_o the_o earth_n of_o flanders_n be_v less_o than_o those_o of_o the_o earth_n of_o england_n but_o he_o observe_v yet_o less_o near_a esphen_n whereof_o they_o make_v pretty_a strong_a pot_n and_o which_o be_v easy_o change_v into_o glass_n this_o ground_n can_v be_v use_v to_o make_v china_n because_o it_o be_v too_o red_a but_o it_o be_v good_a be_v mix_v with_o the_o two_o other_o earth_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v this_o earth_n be_v not_o so_o pure_a as_o the_o other_o it_o be_v mix_v with_o other_o part_n which_o it_o seem_v be_v of_o rot_a wood_n and_o particle_n of_o sand._n 2._o he_o find_v that_o in_o the_o white_a of_o the_o eye_n of_o a_o beef_n there_o be_v some_o little_a globe_n that_o the_o crystalline_a be_v also_o compose_v as_o round_a scale_n lay_v upon_o one_o another_o and_o that_o these_o scale_n be_v compose_v also_o of_o small_a globe_n he_o discover_v the_o vitriol_n humour_n be_v much_o full_a of_o little_a globe_n than_o the_o watery_a humour_n the_o cartilege_n be_v dry_v he_o see_v also_o that_o it_o be_v compose_v of_o crystalline_a little_a globe_n very_o even_o among_o themselves_o and_o if_o this_o membrane_n suffer_v some_o separation_n it_o seem_v to_o he_o as_o if_o it_o be_v wet_a these_o little_a transparent_a part_n appear_v white_a when_o they_o be_v lay_v upon_o one_o another_o as_o cristalling_a appear_v white_a when_o it_o be_v dry_a or_o break_a and_o appear_v so_o no_o more_o when_o it_o be_v wet_a and_o he_o have_v find_v out_o that_o all_o the_o other_o tunicle_n be_v also_o compose_v of_o even_o little_a globe_n unite_v to_o one_o another_o 3._o the_o optic_a nerve_n in_o which_o he_o have_v remark_v small_a artery_n appear_v to_o he_o to_o be_v compose_v of_o thread_n pretty_a tender_a and_o a_o little_a strait_n these_o thread_n be_v like_o
