ments. Let it fuffice to fay, that he has introduced a new Bod)/ 
of Phjfick-) almofi: univerfally embraced before all others^ and a 
new Se^ of Fhilofopherszt home and abroad called Willi fians ; fo 
that England (for ought I know) may have as much reafon to 
boaftof her Learned Willie-, as Coos^ and Pergamu6of old, of 
, their gxt2xMarlers in Phyfick., 
222. The Learned and Ingenious Sir ChriJiofhtrWren^ Savilian 
Profeffbr of Aftronomy in this Vniverfity^ was the fir ft Author of 
that noble Experiment of injefting Liquors into the Veins of Ani- 
mals^ firft exhibited to the meetings at Oxford^ about the Year 
1656 ^ and thence carryed by fome Germans and publidied 
abroad ; by which operation divers Animals were immediatly j^wr- 
ged^ vomited^ intoxicated^ hilVd or revived^ according to the qua- 
lity of the Liquor injefted whereof we have feveral Jnftances in 
our P hilofophicalTranfa^iions of Decemb* 4. 1665 From whence 
arofe many other new Experiments, 
223. Particularly that of transfufingo^ Blood out oi" one ^- 
nimal into another, firft performed here at Oxford about the latter 
end of February, in the Year 166^ ^. by that moft exquifite A. 
natomift^ and eminent Phyfitian, Dr. Richard Lower Student of 
Chrijl Church ; the we/ ^o^/ whereof I (liall not here mention, nor 
the confiderations upon it, becaufe there is a particular account 
of both already given by the Learned Inventor^ in his fore-cited 
Book de Corde^ isfC. and in our Philofophical TranfaSiions ^. Nor 
how much the famous Willis was beholding to him for moft of his 
Anatomical Dijcoveries^ becaufe already freely acknowledged by the 
Dodor himfelf in the Preface to his Book de Cerebro, 
224. Wherefore paffing by thofe, I fhallonly hint in ftiort what 
I meet with new in Dr. Lowers Book de Corde^ a fubjeft though 
handled by m.any Learned Men, yet not fo far exhaufted, but it af- 
forded new difcoveries, when it came to be examined by this moft 
curious, moft judicious Author. For though the Heart by Hippo- 
crates was called^*, yet Dr. Lower was the firft that publiftied the 
true method of dividing it into its feveral Mufcles, illuftrating the 
fame with moft elegant Cuts ; and by attributing to it a mufcular 
motion, and fliewing feveral ways how it may be impeded or di-
