the Conjun&ion of the optic Nerves. Galen^ and 
many Authors fince, had the fame Way of thinkings 
hut how Orange it is, to find Authors feeking for 
the Caufe of the uniform Motions of the Eyes in the 
optic Nerves, which, every one muft allow, ferve 
not to promote any Motion at all, nor have they 
any other Office than to promote Vifion alone 5 
whereas the Eyes are moved by the third Pair of 
Nerves, which go to the Mufcles, and ferve to move 
them, and are therefore called the Motores Oculorum\ 
which move them uniformly, for the plain natural 
Reafon juft given 5 and howfoever the Union or 
Conjunction of the Optics may be, or any other 
Conftitution of them, there can be nothing intended 
by fuch Circumftances, but the Welfare and Security 
of thofe Organs, which, in every other Part of Na- 
ture we daily fee has been the benevolent Care of our 
Great Creator. But further, many are found 
to have no Conjunction of the optic Nerves, and 
yet have neither feen Objects double, nor were their 
Eyes irregular in their Motions.
