Be Gramimvoroui. Now the Horje-k^?^d, the Hare-k^^d^ 
6cc. have but oiiw uornach, and yet their F-od h>GvdSs. 
And the cafe is here the more remarkable, bcc^i-fe ihe 
jiomach is a pare tnore principally concerned in digeft- 
ing the Food. The Intefnnes are for fejiarating the 
Chyle and carrying offthe F(^ces, Yet we obferve even 
in Animals, that live on the faiii': fort of Food, that 
their ftomachs are very diSvrrent. One would therefore 
be niore apt to think, that for digefting the variety of 
Food, and Vv^hat is of a different nature, that the Organ * 
that is to perform it, fiiould be differenc too. Yet we 
find that the fiomachs of Animals that live upon Plefi^/ , 
of others tharlive upon Fruits^ and others that live up- 
on Grafs, &c. to be much alike 5 that 'twould be diffi- 
cult to aflign any difference between them. If therefore 
we ■cannot make a conclufion from the ftrudtare of the 
Jiomach^ what food is moft natural to an Animal, much ^ X", 
lefs one would think from tliQColonox thtCcecum 5 rhofe 
parts of the DuBm AUmmtdk that are remote from the 
ffomacli^ and being fo, feem rather as a Cloaca^ for che 
reception of the Fceces^ than other wife, of any great 
concern in digefting th^ foody or diftributing the ch^le. 
It would be infinite fnould I expatiate upon Natures 
great Variety, in the formation of the ftrufture of this 
Dudhs Alimeittalk in different Animals 5 and even where 
we may obferve much the fame fort of food, yet we do - 
not always find the fame ftrufture, though her Intend- . 
ment be the fame, in digefting the Food, diftributing , 
the Chyle, and ejefting the Fosces in all of them. But - 
herein (he fhews her great Wifdom, in attaining the 
fame end, different ways. Had chartce any concern - 
herein, v/e fhould not obferve, that conftant regularity 
in the imx^fi^ecks, nor variety in different, where the 
aftion is fo much the fame. But here perhaps you will 
fay, I begin to Interlope 5 I fticill therefore now draw, 
toward a conclufion> Since.
