140 NOVUM OROANUM. 



At secundum genus axiomatis 15 (quod a Intentis pro- 

 cexsuti inventionc pendet) non per naturas simplices 

 procedit, sod ])cr concreta corpora, quemadmodum in 

 nat ura inveniuntur, cursu ordinario. Exempli gratia; 

 in casu ubi fit iiiquisitio, ex quibns initiis, et quo modo, 

 et quo j&amp;gt;rocessu, aurum, aut aliud quodvis mctallum, 

 aut lapis generetur, a primis meiistruis, aut rudimentis 

 suis, usque ad iiiinerain perfectani : aut similiter, quo 

 processu luTl);\ genercntur, a priinis concretionibus 

 succoruiM in terra, aut a seiniiiibus, usque ad plantam 

 format am, cum universa ilia successione motiis, et 

 diversis et coiitimiatis natimv nixibus; similiter, de 

 generatione ordinatim cxplicata animalium, ab initu 

 ad partum : et similiter de corj&amp;gt;oribus aliis. 



Knimvero neque ad generationcs corporum tantum 

 speetat luvc iiiquisitio, scd etiam ad alios motus et 

 opificia natiira&amp;gt;. Exempli gratia ; in casu ubi fit 

 iiiquisitio de uui versa serie ct coiitimiatis actionibus 

 alimentandi, a ])rima receptions alimeiiti ad assimi- 

 lationem perfectani ; aut similiter de motu volun- 

 tario in animalibus, a ])Hma impressionc imaginatio- 

 nis, et coiitimiatis nixibus spiritus, usque ad flexioMes 

 ct motus artuum ; aut de explicate motu linguae, 

 et labiorum, et instrumentorum reliquorum, usque 

 ad editionem vocum articulatarum. Nam luce quo- 

 que spectant ad naturas concretas, sive collegiatas, et 

 in fabrica; et intuentur veluti consuetudines naturae 



1 s The second kind of Transfer- This part of Physical investigation, 

 mation (stripping it of useless and obscurely as it is here stated, has 

 strange language) is simply an in- proved the basis of much modern 

 vestigation into divers processes of Medical knowledge and skill, as 

 growth registration of facts of may be seen from Haller s Phy si- 

 progress. Not, however, identical ology. Though Bacon here again 

 with Latent Process (as Bacon ex- shews that he hopes too much, and 

 plains), because it has nothing to has set man s Power too high ; still 

 do with the discovery of Form. It we cannot but admire his grasp of 

 concerns itself solely with concrete things, and his prophetic glance, 

 bodies, as they are found in Nature.
