an Animal in the Mafculine Seed of a Man, which we hare 
Coniemplued a hundred tioies and ofcaer, and a fe at days 
fmcQ abjve looo times which finc^ we have all kepc very 
carefully ; bu: hitherto I could noc yCt difcover any lach 
Creature as this Cut llievveth to us, for as this delineated Ani- 
mal (and [och m othm- kind of delineation is alfo come to my 
hand) has ii's Tail ahnoft every where^ or quite through of 
the fame thicknefs, and is fplit at the end, as if it was made 
on purpofa to take hold therewith of (bmething, yet we fee 
every where,that t^c Tail is the longer the fmalfer to the end, 
nay to that degree, that where it doth lye the thinnefsihere- 
of makes us loofe it^s fight. 
Now if we confider the Poftures of the Figures of 3 and 
4, which Hiow the fhape of a Human Body fo exa6Hy, lb 
that they hy (Iraight extended^ with their hands upon th^ 
Abdomen, and the Two Legs Straight out by one an other, 
I believe that no Member of the R®yal Society will allpw of 
the difcovery of fuch a Creature, but rather takeitto be a 
Fancy or imagination, then a real truth. 
For Experience teacheth us daily, that all kind 
of Creatures, that jye in the uteyus, make a roundifli or 
Globular Figure, as well as the Scituation will allowB^f k, 
as I have already faid before, that the Mother in Bearing of 
the Fruit, may be lefs hindred, and Becaufe the 
Foetus laying in thatPoflure is the moreeafy^, and then becaufe 
a round Figured Body doth lye in lefs room, then any other* 
This being fo, how is it poffibis to comprehend, that fuch 
a pdrkd Human Body, could be comprehended in fo fmali 
a place, quite ilrecched out, and what is yet more, that it 
fhould have fuch a Motion, as to break in pieces, that where-* 
in it was wrapt up, and to ftretch it's felf at length, which 
is altogether contrary to Natural experience, for we never fee 
that a new B6rn Child, doth ftrecch out it's Limbs, but it 
doth always draw it's Arms and Legs inwar-ds, according to 
thePofture it did lye in, in the Mothers Womb. 
We have formerly obferved^ that in all Seeds that come to 
our hands, the Plane of a Tree or any Herb, or Shnib, was 
included in it^tbat the Kernel or Pith,is only for Preferving,or 
to Nourifh and Feed the Plant that doth lye between them 
until ic can flioot a Root fufficient to draw Nourilhment 
enough out of the Ground it ftands in to Feed it. 
It is fo, that in Wheat, Barly, &c, we have difcoveicd te-
