HERE remains only the lowest order of animals, 

 usually termed insects, because they have an incision, 

 as it were, which in a manner cuts them in two parts. 

 Of these I would speak the more largely, because ge- 

 nerally they are little known. 



Rather they are despised and purposely passed over 

 as unworthy of our consideration. And yet it is 

 certain, the wisdom of the great Creator does most 

 conspicuously shine ia them.
