/-’ir''He Epiploon, being look’d upon by a good Microfcope , is like 
I a great Sack , full of abundance of other fmall Sacks, which 
do inclofe Gatherings of GreafeozFat. There are many yeftels , 
which may be call'd Adipous or Fatty, which iftue out of this Mem- 
brane^ and fpreading themfelves all over the Body, conveigh Fat 
to it, juft as the Arteries carry the Blood all over the fam e. W here- 
ever is Fat or Greafe, there is found ftore of thefe little Sacks, 
wherein that isinclofed, whence it is, that in lean and emaciated 
Bodies, in fteadof Fat, you find nothing hut [kins. 
The ftrudlure of thefe fmall Sacks and of the Adifous veffels 
fufficiently fheweth, that the Fatt is not form’d accidentally out

Nor is its chief Ufe , to foment the Natural heat? but it feems 
rather to conduce to the allaying of the Acrimony of the Salts, 
that are in the Bloud and the S erofities. And indeed (faith this 
Author ) Lean perfons, and thofe,w!iofe Epiploon hath been cut,- 
are more fubjedt than others to Khumatifmes , Lienteries , and 
the like difeafes that are caufed by the fbarpncfs of the Humours . 
And thofe that are fatt, are n ot fo eaftly feized on by them, 
in regard the Acrimony of the serefities is corrected by the Mixr, 
ture of the Fatt, juft as thefharpeft L ixiuium will loofe its force, 
if Oyl be mingled therewith.

growing on fuch Trees, &c. 
We have here Orenge-trees, ( faith the Intelligence from Flo- 
rence) that bear a fruit, which is Citron on one fide, and Orenge i 
on the other. They have not been brought hither out of other 
Countreys : and they are now much propagated by ingrafting.
