which_o be_v blossom_n and_o fruit_n of_o different_a growth_n at_o the_o same_o time_n let_v we_o inquire_v into_o the_o rationale_n of_o this_o and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n consider_v that_o these_o creature_n have_v frequent_a coition_n after_o conception_n and_o then_o why_o may_v we_o not_o easy_o suppose_v according_a to_o our_o former_a hypothesis_n that_o the_o semen_n equal_o at_o one_o time_n as_o a_o other_o after_o it_o be_v inject_v into_o the_o uterus_fw-la may_v be_v absorb_v there_o by_o the_o capillary_a artery_n and_o by_o they_o be_v convey_v and_o deposit_v into_o the_o ova_n and_o cause_v a_o faecundation_n and_o since_o there_o be_v various_a ova_n in_o the_o ovaria_n it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o seem_v difficult_a to_o i_o how_o superfaetation_n happen_v but_o rather_o indeed_o wonder_v there_o be_v not_o the_o same_o effect_n in_o female_a humankind_a the_o same_o circumstance_n concur_v but_o some_o may_v object_v against_o this_o hypothesis_n and_o allege_v that_o impregnation_n be_v not_o perform_v by_o the_o semen_n throw_v by_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n within_o the_o ova_n but_o that_o only_o a_o gas_n or_o aura_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v by_o the_o cornua_fw-la convey_v to_o the_o ova_n and_o so_o produce_v faecundation_n but_o to_o these_o i_o answer_v since_o with_o small_a bellows_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o tube_n i_o have_v frequent_o attempt_v to_o force_v only_a air_n within_o the_o ovaria_n but_o can_v never_o effect_v it_o and_o since_o the_o ovaria_n be_v likewise_o involve_v in_o a_o double_a membrane_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o in_o the_o least_o that_o hypothesis_n can_v be_v defend_v but_o since_o the_o cornua_fw-la or_o horn_n of_o the_o womb_n convey_v the_o faetus_fw-la from_o the_o ovaria_n thither_o to_o assert_v too_o that_o they_o likewise_o carry_v the_o semen_n to_o they_o to_o i_o seem_v very_o preposterous_a beside_o dr._n harvey_n assure_v we_o he_o have_v often_o immediate_o after_o coition_n dissect_v the_o womb_n and_o its_o cornua_fw-la but_o never_o in_o those_o can_v discover_v the_o least_o relict_n of_o the_o semen_n which_o probable_o he_o may_v have_v do_v have_v it_o be_v only_o throw_v there_o to_o transmit_v its_o aura_n into_o those_o organ_n to_o convey_v it_o to_o the_o ovaria_n again_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o sudden_a indisposition_n of_o person_n after_o conception_n the_o several_a hereditary_a distemper_n that_o attend_v many_o birth_n as_o the_o gout_n stone_n dropsy_n and_o consumption_n can_v we_o imagine_v how_o these_o cause_n shall_v be_v solve_v unless_o we_o suppose_v the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o seed_n to_o be_v deposit_v in_o the_o ova_fw-la for_o how_o a_o aura_n shall_v ever_o bring_v these_o about_o to_o i_o be_v unaccountable_a but_o if_o as_o some_o defend_v faecundation_n be_v effect_v by_o animalcules_n float_v in_o the_o semen_n and_o that_o the_o ova_fw-mi be_v only_a recipient_n to_o they_o i_o will_v then_o appeal_v to_o those_o modern_a virtuoso_n that_o espouse_v this_o doctrine_n to_o solve_v the_o cause_n of_o hereditary_a distemper_n and_o inquire_v of_o they_o if_o these_o small_a seminal_a gentleman_n have_v not_o frequent_a fit_n of_o the_o gout_n and_o be_v not_o sometime_o hydropical_a and_o consumptive_a but_o how_o rational_a this_o be_v to_o imagine_v i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o world_n to_o judge_v but_o shall_v rather_o conclude_v myself_o that_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o seed_n be_v deposit_v in_o the_o ova_fw-la and_o that_o as_o that_o be_v taint_v so_o likewise_o be_v the_o faetus_fw-la and_o hence_o hereditary_a distemper_n arise_v but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o hare_n it_o be_v observable_a those_o breed_v upon_o morass_n and_o part_n adjacent_a

refer_v my_o reader_n only_o in_o short_a i_o shall_v give_v you_o my_o own_o conjecture_n which_o be_v that_o i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v a_o composition_n of_o saline_n and_o terrene_a particle_n perhaps_o not_o unlike_o those_o of_o the_o most_o refine_a sparr_n and_o in_o this_o i_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o calcination_n of_o they_o in_o which_o i_o can_v discover_v a_o perfect_a

the_o whole_a body_n become_v transparent_a as_o we_o see_v in_o those_o of_o glass_n the_o like_a phaenomena_n be_v observable_a the_o next_o mineral_n to_o be_v prosecute_v be_v the_o sulphur_n of_o which_o various_a kind_n be_v observable_a in_o these_o country_n as_o in_o mine_n metal_n and_o mineral_n and_o these_o as_o they_o be_v unite_v with_o different_a body_n may_v be_v range_v into_o
