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

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

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

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

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
