Animal czxi be produced from the mixture of the Seminal Ld-^ 
quors of both Sexes. Every Animal, tho upon other ac-

large in the Capacity of the Womb^ and exposed to fo ma- 
ny accidents, could give a production fo admirable. 
Every Jogg of it from the frequent Motions ofthe Fe^

Plafiie power they fpeakof. The Humors and Vapors 
which have a paffage to , and humeU all the parts of the Bo-

and break off the tender filaments when firfl a forming. 
In ^adriipeds i\it Terijialtic motion the Horru would 
perpetually feparate the pares ofthe Seminal CoUeBion^ and 
fcatier thofe pieces, which Nature is putting carefully to-
