Of the Farina Fcecundans, &c. 

 feveral Years, according to Mr. Lewen- 

 boeck's Obfervation, in no other Shape 

 than that of a lifclcfs floating Point 

 or Globule, which to me feems to 

 import fomething analogous to the 

 gradual Formation of the Milt-Vefiel 

 in the Calamary already defcribed, 

 much more than the Generation of 

 an Animal ? In one Word, fomc 

 more pofitive Proof rauft be affigned, 

 than that of their Motion in Liquids, 

 for this Argument is at belt but 

 Equivocal, fince the fame appears in 

 the Milt-Veffels of thtCalamary^hich 

 is unqueftionably a mere Machine; 

 nor will the Continuance of this 

 Motion obferved in any one of them, 

 which poffibly may exceed that of 

 the Milt-Vefiel according to the Space 

 they have to run through, before 

 they reach the Point of Impregna- 

 tion in the Uterus, add any Force 

 to the Argument, unlefs the Excels 

 be very great; fince it muft all de- 

 pend upon the Nature of the Ma- 

 chine, as well as many other Cir- 

 cumftances, with which we are en- 

 tirely unacquainted.
