alike throughout, and fo is the Nail. 
None other of the hard fubftances have Senfe, but the Teeth; and th e. 
Teeth have Senfe,not onely of Pain, but of Cold. oh 
But we willleave the Enquiries ot other Hard Subfhapres unto otheie feve-| 
ral places, and now enquire oncly of the Jeeth, =a 
Tne Teeth are'in Men of three kindes, Sharp, as the Foie-tecshs Broad, ae 
the Back-teeth, which wecall the CMolar-teeth , or Grinders; and Poiuted-teeth, 
or Canine, which are between both. But there have been fome Men thar! 
have had their Zeerh undivided, as of one whole Bone, with fombititclell 
mark in the place of the Divifion, as Pyrrhus had. Some Creatures have 
over-long or out-growing Teeth, which we call Fangs or Zuks; as Boars, | 
Pikes, Salmons, and Dogs, though lefs. Some Living Creatures have Teeth | 
againtt Teeth, as Men and Horfes; and{ome have Zeerh, efpecially their Mafter- | 
tah indented one within another like Saws, as Lions; and fo again pane | 
Dogs. Some Fishes have divers Rows of Zeeth in the Roofs of their Azouths; 
as Pikes, Salmous, I routs, @c. andmany more inSalt-waters. Snakes and eo 
Serpents have venemous Teeth, which are fometimes miftaken for their | 
Sting. 
No Beaft that hath [Zorns hath upper-teeths and no Beaft that hath Teeth 
above, wanteth them below. Bur yetif they be of the fame kinde, it follow: | | 
eth not, tharif the hard matter goeth not into upper-teeth, it will go into 
Horns; nor yet € cenyerfo, for Does that have no Horns, have no DpPet j 
tecth. 
Horfes have, at three yearsold, a Tooth put. forth which they. call the | 
Cohts-tooth 3 and atfour years old, there cometh the Auark-to0th, which hath | 
a hole fo.big as you may lay a Peafe within it ; and that weareth fhorter 
and fhorter every year, till that at cight years old the Tooth is fmooth | 
and:the hole gone ; and then they fay, That she Mark i out of she Flan(o 
Mouth. 
The Teeth of Men breed firft ; when the Childe is abouta year an¢ 1] 
half old, and then they caft them, and new come about feven yeats old. But 
divershave Backward-teeth come forth attwenty, yea, tome at thirty, 
forty» Quere' of the manner of the coming of themforth. They tell at 
of the old Countefs of Defmond, who lived till fhe was Seven{core ye 
old, that fhe did Dentire twice or thrice; calbing her old Teeth, and orh 
coming intheirplace, 
Teeth are much hurt by Swect-meats, and by Painting with eae 
and by things over-hot, and by things over-cold, and by Rheums. And the | | 
pain of the Teeth, is one of the fharpeft of pains. i 
Concerning Teeth, thefe things areto be confidered. 1. The preferving 
of them. 2. The keeping of them white. 3. The drawing of them wi 
leaft pain. 4. The ftaying and eafing of the Tooth-ach. 5. The bindii 
of Artificial Teeth, where Teeth have been ftrucken ont. 6. And lz 
all, chat great one, of reftoring Teeth in Age. The inftances thargiv 
likelihood of reftoring Teeth in Age, are, The late coming of Tee 
fomes and the renewing of the Beaks in Birds, which are commateri 
Teeth. « Quare therefore more particularly how that cometh. And 
the renewing of Horns. But yet that hath not beenknown toh 
provoked by Art; therefore let tryalbe made, whether Horns may be 
cured to grow in Beafts that are not horned, and how; ‘and whether
