A77179	A disquisition about the final causes of natural things wherein it is inquir'd, whether, and (if at all) with what cautions, a naturalist should admit them? By T.H. R.B. 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

to_o the_o casual_a concourse_n of_o atom_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o say_v i_o think_v it_o a_o part_n of_o my_o duty_n as_o well_o to_o the_o most_o wise_a author_n of_o thing_n as_o to_o their_o excellent_a contrivance_n and_o mutual_a subserviency_n to_o say_v something_o though_o but_o brief_o yet_o distinct_o and_o express_o to_o show_v that_o at_o least_o in_o the_o structure_n and_o nature_n of_o animal_n there_o be_v thing_n that_o argue_v a_o far_o high_a and_o noble_a principle_n than_o be_v blind_a chance_n but_o that_o i_o may_v do_v what_o i_o here_o intend_v with_o as_o much_o brevity_n as_o i_o can_v i_o will_v do_v little_o more_o than_o name_v some_o particular_n that_o i_o have_v not_o observe_v to_o be_v so_o usual_o reflect_v on_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o which_o i_o mention_v they_o and_o i_o shall_v confirm_v these_o consideration_n but_o with_o one_o instance_n and_o that_o too_o take_v from_o a_o sort_n of_o part_n that_o be_v as_o little_o elaborate_v and_o therefore_o seem_v to_o be_v as_o little_a fit_a for_o my_o purpose_n as_o almost_o any_o in_o the_o humane_a body_n i_o will_v not_o now_o inculcate_v what_o have_v be_v deliver_v and_o may_v be_v far_o say_v of_o that_o exquisite_a structure_n of_o the_o body_n of_o dead_a animal_n that_o be_v discoverable_a by_o the_o knife_n of_o anatomist_n though_o i_o shall_v not_o scrupulous_o forbear_v to_o touch_v light_o on_o a_o few_o thing_n of_o that_o kind_n that_o be_v requisite_a to_o my_o purpose_n my_o present_a design_n be_v to_o set_v down_o very_o brief_o a_o few_o argument_n to_o strengthen_v the_o proposition_n late_o deliver_v first_o then_o i_o observe_v that_o there_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v care_v take_v that_o the_o body_n of_o a_o animal_n shall_v 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 vein_n the_o thickness_n of_o the_o skull_n be_v ordinary_o a_o sufficient_a fence_n to_o they_o from_o external_n injury_n another_o argument_n that_o divers_a thing_n that_o nature_n do_v about_o animal_n be_v do_v with_o design_n may_v be_v take_v from_o what_o anatomist_n observe_v of_o those_o part_n of_o the_o womb_n or_o the_o foetus_fw-la that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v but_o at_o certain_a time_n at_o which_o there_o be_v need_n of_o they_o and_o not_o at_o other_o when_o they_o will_v be_v useless_a thus_o when_o a_o woman_n be_v with_o child_n the_o vasa_n vmbilicalia_n be_v produce_v to_o be_v channel_n either_o for_o the_o blood_n or_o alimental_a juice_n and_o spirit_n that_o then_o ought_v to_o pass_v between_o the_o womb_n and_o the_o foetus_fw-la which_o be_v to_o be_v nourish_v either_o only_a or_o chief_o by_o the_o liquor_n derive_v to_o it_o through_o those_o vessel_n assist_v by_o the_o placenta_n that_o supply_v to_o it_o the_o want_n of_o eat_v with_o the_o mouth_n which_o the_o unborn_a infant_n either_o do_v not_o at_o all_o or_o do_v but_o very_o imperfect_o employ_v to_o feed_v himself_o and_o though_o as_o long_o as_o he_o continue_v imprison_v in_o the_o womb-state_n these_o temporary_a part_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v they_o continue_v with_o he_o yet_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o come_v abroad_o into_o the_o world_n these_o umbilical_a vessel_n particular_o the_o two_o artery_n and_o the_o vein_n together_o with_o the_o membrane_n they_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o and_o those_o common_o call_v the_o chorion_n and_o the_o amnio_n that_o involve_v the_o foetus_fw-la be_v throw_v off_o as_o unnecessary_a to_o the_o bear_v infant_n be_v new_a state_n and_o when_o it_o have_v quit_v the_o womb_n be_v expel_v after_o it_o whence_o they_o be_v call_v the_o afterbirth_n there_o remain_v only_o that_o part_n of_o the_o umbilical_a vessel_n that_o lie_v within_o the_o child_n abdomen_fw-la between_o the_o navel_n and_o the_o liver_n where_o its_o use_n be_v considerable_a though_o new_a it_o serve_v no_o more_o to_o convey_v blood_n or_o a_o alimental_a liquor_n to_o and_o fro_o but_o degenerate_v into_o a_o ligament_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n with_o this_o contrivance_n we_o may_v mention_v that_o other_o wherein_o nature_n employ_v the_o foramen_fw-la ovale_n that_o give_v passage_n to_o the_o blood_n from_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o left_a that_o the_o circulation_n of_o it_o may_v be_v maintain_v though_o it_o can_v in_o the_o embryo_n as_o it_o do_v in_o a_o bear_a child_n pass_v through_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o lung_n from_o one_o of_o the_o ventricles_n to_o the_o other_o for_o this_o foreman_n ovale_n be_v but_o if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o a_o expedient_a that_o nature_n employ_v as_o long_o as_o that_o which_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v a_o infant_n remain_v a_o embryo_n this_o temporary_a conformation_n be_v obliterated_a when_o the_o child_n breathe_v the_o free_a air_n be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o make_v the_o blood_n circulate_v through_o the_o pulmonick_a vessel_n according_a to_o the_o primary_n intention_n of_o nature_n from_o which_o and_o the_o like_a instance_n we_o may_v infer_v that_o these_o temporary_a part_n be_v frame_v by_o a_o forecast_a as_o well_o as_o a_o design_v agent_n who_o intend_v they_o shall_v serve_v for_o such_o a_o turn_v and_o then_o be_v lay_v aside_o it_o be_v utter_o improbable_a that_o a_o undesigning_a agent_n shall_v so_o apposite_o and_o exquisite_o frame_v scaffold_n for_o the_o future_a building_n if_o he_o do_v not_o beforehand_o destinate_a both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o to_o concur_v to_o the_o same_o ultimate_a effect_n another_o argument_n for_o our_o present_a purpose_n may_v be_v

recount_v strange_a and_o scarce_o credible_a instance_n of_o the_o instinct_n observable_a in_o certain_a animal_n but_o we_o need_v not_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o our_o argument_n upon_o dubious_a

divers_a strange_a thing_n be_v deliver_v not_o only_o by_o poet_n but_o by_o more_o credible_a writer_n about_o the_o wonderful_a sagacity_n and_o government_n of_o bee_n in_o point_n not_o only_o
