being nothing but illufion. For, after he had by thai mearis fo- 
dered together a piece of Gold withhalfe aNaile, he knew 
fo well to give the color of Iron to Gold, that men believed, 
that the whole Naile was of Iron 5 sni having afcerwards put 
this Naile into the fire, and held it in the Oyle to cake off that

IN this Difcourfe the Author chiefly obferves the wcnier- 
fulnefs of the internall fabrick of this Stately Br J and more 
cfpecially of the admirable ilrudareof its Wind-fife-^ which is 
fo framed , that together with the Oefofhagus or Weafand ic re in- 
ches down to the Sternum^ ioro which , as a fafe cafe , ic winds 
it felf , and being gone down to the bottom of chat cavity is tur- 
ned up again , and gets out of the flreightsof the Sternum, and 
climbing up che intermediate clavicles , on which it leans as on 
a bafe, it bends to thorax. But before itcomf sto theT^i?- 
yAx and the Lungs ^ it forms a kind of Larynx viich an os Byoi- 
dcs y covered With a large membrane, and ref^nnblinga mufi- 
calpipe, wideabove, but with a narrow fit, and fire ghtand 
deprelTed below. Under \\'h\Qh Larynx y before the Wmd-p'pe 
enters into the Lung^ , it isdivaricated into twobranchcs,like 
unto ^rtJ/zr^/^ thicker in the middle, but narrower where they 
are near the Lungs: la which particular it differs from the hu- 
man ^r^^m ^jfera^ which, 'cis true, isalfo dividedjato bran- 
ches^butnot before it be entred into the Lungs. 
After this defcriptionof the ftrudureof this Organ he co-i- 
fiJers the ficnefs of ics contrivance for fuch a RefpirKion, as was 
rcquiflcefor an Animall , that by long diving and finking iis 
neck to the bottom of waters was to find ics food.
