none were before^And it is tried, that the great Horfe^Mufle, with the fine 

 ftielljthatbreedeth in /W5,hath bred within thirty years:Butthen,which 

 is ftrange,it hath been tried, that mcy do not onely Gape and Shut,as the 

 Oiflers do, but Remove from one Place to Another. 



THe Senses are alike Strong,both on the Right Side, and on the Left ; But 

 theLimbes on the Right Side are Stronger. The Caufe may be, for that 

 the Brain which is the Infirumeat oi Senfe, is alike on both Sides; But Motion, 

 and H abilities of Moving, are fomewhat holpen from the Liver, which 

 lieth on the Right-Side. It may bee alfo , for that the Senfes are put in Ex- 

 ercife, indifferently , on both Sides from the Time of our Birth But the 

 Limbesatt ufed moft on the Right Side, whereby Cujlome helpeth; For wee 

 fee, that lome are Left-handed: Which are fuch as have ufed the Left- 

 Hand mok. 



FRiBions make the Parts more Flefhie, and Full: As wee fee both in Men : 

 And in the Currying of Horfes,&tc. The Caufe is , for that they draw 

 greater Quantity of Spirits and Bloud to the Parts : And again, becaufe they 

 draw the Aliment more forcibly from within : And again,becaule they re- 

 lax the Pores ^and fo make betier Pafjages for the Spirits, Bloud , and Ali- 

 ments: Laftly,becaule they diflipate, and dilgeft any Inutile or Excrementiti- 

 om Moijlurf, which lieth in the Flejh : All which help Afimulation. FnBions 

 alfo do more Fill, and Impingmte the Body, than txercife. The Caufe is , for 

 that in FriBions, t be Inward Parts are at reft ; Which in Exercife are beaten 

 (many times) too much : And for the fame Reafon , ( as we have noted 

 heretofore,) GaHy-Slaves are Fat and Flejhie, becaufe they ftirre the Limbs 

 more, and the Inward Parts lefs* 



ALL Globe* afarre off appear Flat. IhcCaufeis, for that Diftance, being a 

 Secundary objeB of ' Sight, is not otherwife difcerned , than by more or 

 lefs Liqht ; which Dij "parity when it cannot be difcerned, all leemeth One : 

 As it is (generally) inObjeBs not diftin&ly difcerned; For fo Letters,'^ they 

 be fo farre off,as they cannot be difcerned , fhew but as a Dtukifh Paper : 

 And all Engravings^ and Embofl ings, (afar off) appear Plain. 



*~rHe Uttermofl Parts of Shadows feem ever to Tremble. The Caufe is, for that 

 that the little Moats , which we lee in the Sun , do ever Stirre , though 

 there beno Winde ; And therefore thofe Moving, in the Meeting of the 

 Light And the Shadow, from the Light to the Shadow, and from the Shadow to 

 the Light, do fhew the Shadow to Move,becaufe the Medium Moveth. 



c Hallow, and Narrow Seas, break more than Deep , and' Large. The Caufe is, 

 for that the Impulfion being the fame in Both ; W here there is greater 

 Quantity of Water, and likewife Space Enough 5 there the Water Rowleth, 

 and Moveth , both more Slowly , and with a Sloper Rife , and Fall : But 

 where there is lefs Water, and lefs Space , and the Water dafheth more a- 

 I gainft the bottom ^ there it moveth more Swiftly, and more in Precipice 5 

 For in the Breaking of the Wales there is ever a Pracipice. 



, or Boiled, 



I T hath been obferved by the Ancients , that Salt-Water Boiled 

 and Cooled a^ain, is more Potable,than of it felf Raw : And yet the Ta(te of 

 Salt , in Difiillations by Fire , rifeth not ; For the Diflilled Water will be 



Frefy.
