The INTRODUCTION-. 
Hydraulick Way, which feems to me to be 
more accurate and certain. And I hope 
that what I have here done in this Way 
will induce more skilful AnatomiQs to pur- 
fue the Matter farther by a great Variety 
of the like Experiments on different Parts 
of the Body, and alfo with Variety of Li- 
quors, of very different Degrees of Con* 
fiftency, as to their Vifeidity or Thinnefi 
and Fluidity, Reftringency and other Qua- 
lities 5 whence I make no doubt but many 
curious Obfervations and Difeoveries would 
arife. For fince we are afllired that the 
animal Fluids move by Hydraulick and Hy- 
drojiatick Laws, the likelieft Way therefore 
to fucceed in our Enquiries into the Nature 
of their Motions, is by adapting our Experi- 
ments to thofe Laws.

a Fabrick as an animal Body is, the admira- 
ble and amazing Texture of every Part of 
which, declares its divine Original, and 
whofe Welfare and good Order confiding 
in the concurring Harmony of fuch innu- 
merable Circumftances, will, in whatever 
View we confider it, ever afford freffi Mat- 
ter to reward our Refearches.
