Part II. in the Creation, 29I 



with Cavities, as Morteffes to receive, others w^ith 

 Tenons to fit thofe Cavities, all thefe fo packed 

 and thruft fo clofe together, that there is no un- 

 ncceflary Vacuity in the whole Body, and yet fo 

 far from clafliing or interfering one with another, 

 or hindring each others Motions, that they do all 

 friendly confpire, all help and aflift mutually one

 certainly Arguments and Effefts of infinite Wif- 

 dom and Council ; fo that he muft need^ be worfe 

 than mad that can find in his Heart to imagine 

 all thefe to be cafual and fortuitous, or not pro- 

 vided and defign'd by a moft wife and intelligent

Every Part is cloath*d, join'd together and cor-

 preflions or Obftrudions of Veffels) are capable

 datides of the Female Tefticles or Ovaries, in hy- 

 dropical Tumors of the LyrnphceduEis^ of the Scro^ 

 turn -or Peritonceum^ out of the laft of which a- 

 lone twenty, and even forty Gallons of Water 

 have been drawn by a Pm-acentefis, or Tapping ; 

 for which we have the undoubted Authority of 

 ^idpiiis^ Meekren^ Pechlin^ Blaftus ^ and other 

 medical Writers. What vaft Sacks and Bags are 

 necefl^ary to contain fuch a CoUedion of Water, 

 which feems to ifTue from i\\cLy77tph^duffs^ either 

 delacerated or obftrudled, and exonerating them- 

 felves into the Foldings, or between the Dupli- 

 catures of the Membranes ?
