Now we finding that in 14 days time the coagulated 
blood feemeth to be vaniflied before our eyes, and al- 
fo confidering that in this time the heart doth perform^ 
its pulfation icSocoo times, and that in each motion^ 
into feveral veflels together but the bignefs of a corn 
of Sand has been loofned and fet a going, how much 
may be fet a going in the time before mentioned.- 
I could fee in the before-mentioned blood veffel each 
impulft which the blood received from the heart. 
Now if we think or confider that the bignefs of a 
cubic inch of coagulated blood is very much, that is 
congealed by a blow, and that feldom fo much is co- 
agulated at once, then we may very well comprehend, 
that fuch coagulated or ftagnating blood, through fo 
many motions as we have mentioned here before, may 
be loofned again, and the motion of the blood may 
be reftored again, if not in all, yet in moft of tlie veG- 
fels, as it was before ftopping. 
At another time I had laid one of thefe Tadpoleson 
a clean paper , for a little while before I came to look 
upon it, whereby a little particle of the Tail came to be 
wounded, the Skin being dried and ftuck to the Paper, 
fo that out of an Artery, which 1 )udged to be fo 
large, that four red globules of the blood could pafs 
thorough it at once, and fome Blood did run out of 
this excoriated part- 
This flowing blood did remain quick or without 
motion about the wounded part 5 yet this whereon my 
fight was fixed, that was not half a hairs breadth from 
the wounded part, or the torn Artery, there came ont 
a little branch of a Vein, wherein the circulation or 
flowing of that Blood did ftiU remain, as if the Artery 
had not been broken.
