Now who fees not that all thefe admirable effects undoubt- 
edly proceed from that little Arterial blood of the Lamb ^ which 
having been mixt with the mafs of his thick blood, was like a 
ferment to it ? to rarifie and attenuate it more than ordinary , 
whence follow’d the production of greater plenty of: fpirits, 
and a more nimble performance of the actions of the body. 
1 his firft Tryal thus fucceeding engag’d us to make a fecond 
upon a ftrohger Man, aged 4^ years. Now this Man having ho 
confiderable indifpofition , we intended to make a larger 
Transfufion upon him, than on the former* But finding his 
veffels very low & not well fill’d with blood, we took from him 
only about 10 ounces, and afterwards immitted into him twice 
as much from the Crural Artery of a Lamb purpofely provided 
for it , as well becaufe the fame is bigger and eafier to come 
at than the Carotis^ as for that we would put fome difference 
between this fecond Experiment, and the firft. The man a- 
bated nothing of his Jovial humor during all the time of the 
Operation, and amongft other reflections which he made con-

that there were ftrange waies in Pbyfick to preferve life, that 
he knew not who had invented this of bleeding, but that he.

When the Operation was ended, we advifed him to lie down 
to reft ; but being he found no indifpofition in himfeif, Twas 
impoffible to prevail with him , and we could not keep him 
from falling to work with the poor Lamb, cutting his throat, 
and fleaing him, in which he is very dextrous, having exercis’d 
the fame profefsion from his youth, Afterwards he declared 
his intention ro return home, and promifed us that he would 
take a mefs of fome comforting broth there, and lay himfeif 
to reft for the remainder of the day ; but alfoon as he went 
forth, he betook himfeif to find ou t his Comerades, and carry- 
ed them to the Tavern to drink part of the money given him ; 
for his daics bufinefs : at noon finding himfeif more hearty, 
(whether by the new blood he had received fix hours before , 
or by the quantity of wine he had drank) he fell upon a fort of
