Fellow of the Royal Society. To which are subjoyn'd, by way of appendix some uncommon observations about vitiated sight. By the same author. Boyle, Robert, 1627-1691. 1688 (1688) Wing B3945A; ESTC R231094 85,440 301

ought_v not_o to_o appear_v incredible_a that_o he_o that_o give_v man_n both_o the_o limb_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o rational_a endowment_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o that_o have_v make_v many_o

to_o require_v especial_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o part_n by_o which_o that_o office_n may_v be_v more_o commodious_o perform_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o may_v be_v a_o probable_a ground_n though_o not_o altogether_o so_o probable_a as_o the_o former_a to_o conclude_v that_o such_o a_o part_n be_v destinate_a to_o such_o a_o use_n if_o the_o use_v itself_o appear_v to_o be_v

that_o so_o provident_a a_o cause_n as_o nature_n have_v not_o so_o place_v so_o many_o valve_n without_o design_n and_o no_o design_n seem_v more_o probable_a than_o that_o since_o the_o blood_n

who_o valve_n do_v not_o oppose_v its_o course_n that_o way_n thus_o whereas_o former_a anatomist_n and_o physician_n general_o believe_v the_o nutrition_n of_o the_o part_n by_o the_o venal_a blood_n the_o more_o recent_a writer_n be_v wont_a to_o teach_v that_o the_o part_n be_v nourish_v by_o the_o blood_n in_o its_o passage_n through_o the_o artery_n not_o that_o they_o think_v the_o blood_n

though_o this_o consideration_n be_v not_o here_o display_v yet_o the_o now_o mention_a intimation_n of_o it_o may_v afford_v we_o this_o reflection_n that_o man_n may_v easy_o be_v too_o rash_a if_o

be_v furnish_v not_o only_o with_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v ordinary_o necessary_a and_o convenient_a but_o with_o some_o superabundant_a provision_n for_o casualty_n thus_o though_o a_o man_n may_v live_v very_o well_o and_o propagate_v his_o kind_a as_o many_o do_v though_o he_o have_v but_o one_o eye_n yet_o nature_n be_v wont_a to_o furnish_v man_n with_o two_o eye_n that_o if_o one_o be_v destroy_v or_o disease_a the_o other_o may_v suffice_v for_o vision_n and_o so_o if_o one_o ear_n grow_v deaf_a a_o man_n may_v be_v converse_v with_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o other_o that_o remain_v sound_a in_o short_a nature_n have_v furnish_v man_n with_o double_a part_n of_o the_o same_o kind_a where_o that_o duplicity_n may_v be_v high_o useful_a and_o can_v be_v permit_v without_o incongruity_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o considerable_a because_o in_o other_o part_n nature_n appear_v to_o husband_n thing_n so_o as_o to_z shun_v do_v thing_n superfluous_a as_o within_o the_o skull_n some_o vessel_n that_o will_v in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n have_v double_a coat_n like_o other_o artery_n be_v much_o thin_a almost_o like_o
