« would endeavour to be fomething more 

 than himfelf, like too many Mortals in the 

 World ; and as the Cock is the longeftand 

 largeO: Bird, fo with this fort of Carriage ic 

 makes the Diffirence much greater, for the 

 Hen is not only fmaller and fhorter every 



- Way, efpecially from theLegs to the Vent, 

 which feems to come down from the Legs, 

 under the Belly, to the Vent, fnorter, and 

 as it were* of a more fudden Roundnefs, 



- which happens from her being by Nature 

 in that Part larger, for containing and 

 laying her Eggs ; whereas the Cock appears 

 in that Part more Aim and longer, coming 

 down from his Legs to his Vent gradually 

 taper, ending in a fmall Point under his 

 Tail, 



Another Thing is to be obferved. If you 

 Blow the Cock and Hen, you may perceive 

 his Vent appear longer than that of the 

 Hen's, and the Orifioes not all together fo 



Wide. 



The next and laft Obfervation is fiom 

 the Colour above the Bill of the Cock, 

 which is a more bright Yellow, as likewife 

 under his Throat, and on the Pinion of the 

 Wing ; for let the Birds be of what Co- 

 lours they will, they alv/ays have a little 

 Yellow almoil upon their Bills, and under 

 their Throats, and a flroke over the Eyes, 

 which in the Cocks is a bright firong Yel-
