following 5 and fo, the reft: which together make 45. But if the 
fame Tex be compounded by Threes together 3 they produce no le 
than 120 Variations : asby the Table made of them all doth plainly 
appear.

be found actually exiftent in Nature. The abatement of which, will 
be much more than compenfated two ways. Firf,by the other six 
Species of simple Tafts, which are alfo fometimes compounded. And by 
other more complex Conjunétions, as of many Quadruples, and per- 
haps fome Quintuple or Sextuple ones. Thus far of the Simple Species, 
and Conjundiions of Tafts. 2

each Species, in every Conjunction, capable of Variation herein. For 
the more accurate obferving whereof, it will be belt, To take thofe 
Bodies, whofe Tafts are, as near as may be, the fame in Specie : and 
that thofe be firft tafted, which are lefs {trong 5 whereby the true De- 
gree will be more precifely taken. 
28. $. The Tufts of Bodies will thus appear to be varied, in moft 
Species unto Five Degrees 5 and in fome of them, unto Tex. So the 
Root of Turmerick , is bitter in the Firft Degree; of Gentian, in the 
Tenth. The Root of Cardus Benediölus, is Hot in the Firft Degree; 
the Green Pods or Secd-Cafes of Clematis peregrina, in the Texth. So 
that, allowing fome to vary under Five; yet by a moderate eftimate, 
we may reckon every Species, one with another, to be varied by at 
leaft Five Degrees. Which being added to the feveral Species of Tafts, 
in all the Treble Conjunéfions of the aforefaid Table, come to 1800 fen- 
fible and defineable Variations of Taffe. And thefe are the Diverfities 
of Tufte, with refpeé to the Senfation it felf. 
CHAP. It 
Of the DURATION and feveral TERMES 
of Tatts. 
HE next general way of dinguifhing Tafts, is by 
their Duration, and their Terms, or their Motion 
of Intenfion and Remiffion from one Degree to 
another. For there are many Taífs, which have 
their Motions analogous to thofe of Difeafes 3 and 
by thofe be diftinguifhed in the fame manner.
