rliei' ain& not compounded, no more than that the 

 B^€od io not, becaufe we do not perceive in it the 

 feveral Humours which are Separated from it by the 

 Glands. / 



• Since therefore the feveral Humours are formM 

 by the vr.rioiis Com.binations of a few Particles which 

 ' qn^pofe the Blood, ?,nd that each Humour is fecern'd 

 ^nd feparated })y Glands placed moflly in fome one 

 Part of the Body, r.s the Gall which is feparated in 

 fhe Liver, and the Urine in the Kidneys ; the Par- 

 ticles of Elocd mull: fall into fuch Combinations as 

 I re fit to form Gall in the Liver, and Uiine in the 

 Xidneys, and fo of the others : And if this was not 

 the Cafe, the Glands could never feparate fuch Hu- 

 mours from the Blood. And as all die Humours 

 Tire compofed of a few di2*erent Particles, the greater 

 will be the Number of Particles combined to form 

 Bile, and the greater Quantity of Bile will be fepa- 

 rated, the fewer there are of all other Combina- 

 tions at the Liver. Such Combinations therefore as 

 are £t to form the Humours proper to pafs thro* 

 the Glands, where thefe Combinations are form'd^ 

 being therefore only requifite will be there mofc 

 numerous : And therefore, wherever the Particles 

 of Blood are moft diffolved, there will be placed 

 fuch Glands as feparate Humours, which confifl of 

 x\\.Q mofl fimple Com.binations, or of Particles which . 

 do the moil eafily combine : And at the greateft 

 Biflsnces from thefe will be fituated the Glands 

 which fecern or feparate Humours confiiling of the 

 moll compound Combinations, or of Particles which 

 do the moll flowly unite. And between thefe will 

 be all other Glands, which, according to either 

 Extreme, will feparate Humours more or lefs com- 

 bined, or compounded of Particles which do more 

 quickly or flowly combine together.
