agent_n never_o so_o omnipotent_a beside_o the_o animal-parent_n can_v be_v the_o agent_n or_o efficient_a in_o the_o generation_n or_o form_v and_o nourish_v of_o the_o foetus_fw-la because_o that_o be_v a_o work_n of_o art_n and_o reason_n which_o brute_n creature_n be_v not_o endue_v withal_o nor_o indeed_o do_v man_n himself_o understand_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o process_n of_o generation_n in_o himself_o neither_o be_v conscious_a of_o what_o be_v do_v in_o the_o womb_n so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o be_v the_o doer_n of_o it_o again_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a if_o not_o certain_a that_o most_o animal_n have_v in_o they_o from_o the_o beginning_n the_o seed_n or_o egg_n of_o all_o the_o young_a they_o shall_v afterward_o bring_v forth_o which_o when_o they_o be_v spend_v and_o exhaust_v the_o creature_n become_v barren_a or_o effete_a so_o we_o see_v all_o the_o female_a foetus_fw-la of_o viviparous_a quadruped_n be_v bring_v forth_o with_o their_o testes_fw-la or_o ovaria_n in_o they_o which_o be_v esteem_v part_n of_o their_o body_n and_o all_o bird_n have_v in_o they_o from_o their_o first_o formation_n their_o ovary_n or_o egg-cluster_n contain_v the_o seed_n of_o all_o the_o egg_n they_o shall_v ever_o lay_v now_o have_v the_o creature_n a_o power_n of_o produce_v new_a one_o what_o need_n be_v there_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o at_o first_o form_v in_o they_o and_o why_o may_v they_o not_o breed_v they_o as_o well_o afterward_o as_o at_o the_o beginning_n hereupon_o these_o philosopher_n argue_v thus_o suppose_v we_o that_o god_n do_v at_o first_o create_v two_o animal_n a_o male_a and_o a_o female_a the_o female_a must_v be_v create_v with_o its_o ovary_n or_o testes_fw-la which_o as_o we_o say_v contain_v so_o many_o seed_n or_o egg_n as_o the_o creature_n shall_v ever_o bring_v forth_o young_a so_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o not_o only_o the_o first_o pair_n but_o the_o first_o generation_n of_o animal_n be_v actual_o create_v again_o this_o first_o generation_n from_o their_o first_o appearance_n have_v each_o of_o they_o the_o female_n i_o mean_v its_o ovaria_n or_o cluster_n of_o egg_n every_o one_o whereof_o have_v in_o like_a manner_n its_o animalcule_n in_o it_o so_o that_o this_o second_o generation_n be_v also_o create_v in_o the_o first_o the_o same_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v of_o the_o three_o and_o four_o and_o so_o on_o of_o all_o the_o generation_n that_o shall_v be_v as_o long_o as_o the_o world_n last_v against_o this_o doctrine_n it_o may_v be_v object_v first_o that_o it_o seem_v impossible_a that_o the_o ovary_n of_o one_o female_a shall_v actual_o include_v and_o contain_v the_o innumerable_a miriads_o of_o animal_n that_o may_v proceed_v from_o it_o in_o so_o many_o generation_n as_o have_v be_v and_o shall_v be_v during_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o world_n who_o can_v conceive_v such_o a_o small_a portion_n of_o matter_n to_o be_v capable_a of_o such_o division_n and_o to_o contain_v such_o a_o infinity_n of_o part_n but_o to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o our_o sight_n do_v not_o give_v we_o the_o just_a magnitude_n of_o thing_n but_o only_o their_o proportion_n and_o what_o appear_v to_o the_o eye_n as_o a_o point_n may_v be_v magnify_v so_o even_o by_o glass_n as_o to_o discover_v a_o incredible_a multitude_n of_o part_n nay_o some_o animal_n there_o be_v so_o small_a that_o if_o a_o grain_n of_o sand_n be_v break_v into_o 8000000_o of_o equal_a part_n one_o of_o these_o will_v not_o exceed_v the_o bigness_n of_o one_o of_o those_o
