Now who fees not that all thefe admirable efFe(9:s undoubt- 
edly proceed from that little Arterial blood of the Lamb^which 
having been mixt with themafs ofhis thick blodd, was like a 
ferment to it^ to rarifie and attenuate it more than ordinary , 
whence followed the produdlion of greater plenty of fpirits^ 
and a more nimble performance of the actions of the body. 
This firft Tryal thus fuccceding engag*d us to make a fecond 
upon a ftronger Man, aged 4^ years. Now this Man having no 
confiderable indifpofition , we intended to make a larger 
Transfufion upon him, than on the former* But finding his 
veflels very low Sc not well fill'd with blood^we took from him 
only about ioounces,and afterwards imrDitted into him twice 
as much from the Crural Artery oiz hamb purpofely provided 
for it , as well becaufe the fame is bigger and eafier to come 
at than the for that we would put fome difference 
between this fecond Experiment, and the firfl. 1 he man a* 
batcd nothingof his Jovial humor during all the time of the 
Operation, and amongft other reflections which he made con- 
cerning the placingof the L^/w^ near his Arme^ he faid merrily 
that there were ftrange waies in Pbyfick to preferve life, that 
he knew not who had invented this of bleeding, but that he 
felt a very great heat from the Orifice of his Vein up to his 
arm-pit ; which proceeded from the courfe of the new Arteri- 
al blood, paffing up that way towards the heart. 
When the Operation wasended,weadvifedhimto lie down 
to reft; but beinghe found no indifpofition in himfelf, 'twas 
irapoffible to prevail with him , and we could not keep him 
from falling to work with the poor £^?;72^, cutting his throaty 
and fleaing him, in which he is very dextrous, having exercisd 
the fame profefsion from his youth. Afterwards he declared 
his intention to return home, and promifed us that he would 
take a mefs of fome comforting broth there, and lay himfelf 
to reft for the remainder of the day ; but afToon as he went 
forth^ he betook himfelf to find out his Comerades, and carry- 
ed them to the Tavern to drink part of the money given him 
f or his daics bufinefs : at noon finding himfelf more hearty, 
(whether by the new blood he had received fix hours before , 
or.by the quantity of wine he had drank) he fell upon a fort of 
work.
