he endeavours to prove front the Authority of Gak», 
Celfus^ Helmont^ &c, then he fays, that no new ufe 
of moft of the Parts having been difcovered by this 
nice over curious Anatomy it is of neceffity, of no 
value fays, that the Urine was feparated by the Kid- 
nies, before they were difcovercd to be furnifh'd with 
Glands and Tululi, &c. And where any new ufe is 
afcribed to them, they have rather overthrown the old 
Opinioiis, than Eftabli(hed new Truths, which he in- 
fiances in the Pancreas and Spleen. Secondly, As to 
the Difeafes of the Parts , no new or better way of 
Cure has been found out. Thirdly, 'cis not needful 
to know them otherwife a Difeafed Spleen or Pancre^ 
ojy would never be Cured, becaufe their ufe is not yet 
known, the contrary of which is daily found by Ex- 
perience, thofe parts being as Curable as others. This 
he extends alfb to the Brain, Lungs and Diaphragm 
Parts , tho* fubtilly Difleded, yet not better known as 
to their Ufe or Cure, which he inftances in fbme DiA 
eafes. Remedies for which have been found out by 
Chance, not from the Knowledge of the Parts. 
I He then takes Comparative Anatomy in Hand, which 
\ he (ays can figaify nothing to the advancing Phyfick t 
Animals are (6 different from each other in all their 
Parts, that nothing of ufe for Man can from them be 
difcovered, tho' be allows Xs^^^y be oeceflary for 
the compkating of Natural Hiftory, but fignifies no- 
thing to the Phyfician, whofe bufrnels is to Cure, not 
tbe Curious* 
Laftly , He comes to Dendranatome^ which he alfo 
jffirms unneceflary in Phyfick ; all the Difcoveries of 
i:he parts of Plants, being like tantalus's Gardens, delu- 
ive Vanities, the virtues of Plants not being the bet- 
er difcernible from their Minute parts, being Micro- 
bopically viewed. The Caufe of the Stinging of the
