well to govern 3 rowles and tumbles the meat to and fro 
therein : and at the fame time, with the help of the faid 
Nervous Knots of feveral degrees of finenefs ( as the GoU- 
fmith hath his Ajfayers of feveral degrees of nicenefs) judges 
of the Courfenefs or Finenefs, Crudenefs, or Concoction of 
any part of it 3 and accordingly lets it reft,or removes it. So 
then the grofTeft of thefe Ajfayers (landing about the Gulet, 
and fo in the paffage of the meat between the Panch and the 
Reticulum, being the proper judges of what is Courfe or 
Crude 5 if they find it fo, then 'tis tumbled back to receive 
a further maturation in the Panch. If fomewhat fine and 
Concocted, 'tis then permitted to pafs on and row! into the 
Reticulum. And the faid Ajfayers or Nervous Knobs being 
here (harper and fofter, than in the Pane h 5 have (till a more 
accurate Tad : and therefore what they yet find too courfe, 
the Reticulum forthwith throws it up into the Gulet and 
Mouth. From whence, being further refined , 'tis re- 
manded to the Reticulum 3 and thence after a while, into 
the Third Stomach or the Omafus. And This again being 
a more nice Ajfayer than the Reticulum 3 if it feels the meat 
fine and foft enough, paffeth it into the lad Stomach or 
Abomafus. But if otherwife, throws it back into the Reti- 
culuniy and the Reticulum into the Gulet and Mouth to be 
laboufd once again, and fo remanded.

Of the ZJfes of the Guts of Quadrupeds. 
I Shall here, as before, pafs over fuch particulars as have 
been fpoken of by others 3 and divers alio which being 
obfervable in the Gulet and Stomachs, as well as here, have 
been already fufficiently explain 'd. 
And firft the different Bore of the Guts is obfervable. 
So, for example, the Guts of a Horfe are very wide. For 
that he both fwalloweth,and difchargeth from his Stomach 
into his Guts, the meat moregrofs5 which therefore re- 
quireth a more open paffage, left it fhould clog. As alfo, 
that it may move with greater fpeed towards the C<ecum>
