fcfibed, cut through lengthways, here the fmall Mufcles 
of Flefh are reprefented cot through acrofs 5 and the faid 
Flefh Mufcles, as far as the Painter could perceive them, 
appear to be four in number, viz, oneju.fbyN, ano- 
ther by O, the third by P, and the fourth by and 
thofe Particles which run in length from R to O, or from 
Q.ta P, are the FleQi Parrs of thofe pointed Particles, 
which, as I faid before, go in between the Flelh Parii- 
cles; bur ’twas impofliblc for me to difeover how far 
they go in 5 1 had enough to do to place them in this 
manner before the Eye of the Painter, and i have wifli'd 
more than once, that I could get them fo dra wn as they 
appeared to me 5 for the Parts dry away fo faft whilft I 
am viewing them, that they do in a manner difappear 
before I deliver them to be drawn by the Painter. 
Amongft others I obferved the pointed Particle, which 
was Hit in two, one part of it fpreading it felf to the . 
Right, the other to the Left of a little Flefh Mufcle that 1 
was cut through acrofs. 
It will appear very ftrange to fome People, what I am 
going to fay of thefe fmall Mufcles of Flefh, viz, that 
according to the beft Judgment I could make of their 
Magnitude to my Eye, as the Diameter of a Hair of one’s 
Head gives one, fo the Diameter of one of thefe Mufcles 
of Flefh gives two: Yea, I have feen a Flefh Mufcle that • 
I had cut acrofs as it lay in its length, which at both the i*^ 
Ends was no thicker than a fingle Particle ot Flefh, but 
in the broadeft part of it had fix Flefh Particles, and in i 
the middle of the fix there lay part of a feventh Flefh/ 
Particle, and fo made the likenefs of a Weaver's Shuttle^' 
and this Flefh Mufcle lay furrounded with the Flefh 
Mufcles that lay in their length. 
Now, when we often fee that the Diameter of one ofk^ 
thcYe little Mufcles of Flefh f fuch a one as is deferibed in ^ 
JF/V. 16. by N, O or ?) does not exceed two Hairs 
breadth of one’s Head 3 aqd when we compute that fix ’
