at the lame time we mull admire the regularity of Nature's works, 

 all whole operations are performed in liniilar ways, both in the for- 

 mation of the eyes of thefe minute creatures, and in ihofc of larger 

 animals, and alfo of the human fpecies. 



Now, fince we fee the regularity of the propagation of the mi- 

 nute marine animal I have been defcribing, and when we contem- 

 plate the wonderful formation and incomprehenfible perfedlions in 

 the eyes of flies, and the admirable conllruclion of their many op- 

 tical organs — when, I fay, tliefe things are known, furely none 

 will be lb abfurd as to retain the notion that any animal, however 

 contemptible in our eyes, can be produced fpontaneoully or bred 

 from corruption. 



But I will conclude with this with, that the eyes of all may be 

 opened to the truth of the regular propagation of all the animals 

 and vegetables on this earth ; and to admire the infinite wifdom of 

 the Creator, in the formation of all things at the Beginning, and in 

 the wonderful and infinitely diverlified provilion made for their pro- 

 pagation through all fucceeding ages of the world.
