Now when I had again obferv'd with the greatefi 
camion thofe Particles, which I had divided as well a-s 
1 could from one another, and view’d them thro’ one 
of my bed Micro fcopcs, I obierved lying, and alio float- ^ 
ing in the liquid Subitance, an unfpeakable Number of 
long Particles, which were very bright and exceeding 
flender ; fome of them were much longer than others, 
and the longed of all agreed in length with the Hair of a , 
Man’S Beard, who had not been fliaved in eight or ten 
days; fome of them allb appeared a little crooked. >1 
Now whereas in my former Obfervations, I did not 
difcover the aforefaid long Particles, it might perhaps 
proceed from hence, that I did not then fo nicely attend ^ 
unto it ; for having now again looked-over little of that « 
Matter which I had fcraped from my Tongue in my for- ||: 
mer Sicknefs, and which lay by me on a Giafs, I judg’d g: 
that Matter likewile was compofed of Particles. ^ 
I believe like wife, that in my endeavouring to fepa- M 
rate thofe Particles from one another,. I broke a great 
many of ’em to pieces. 
1 was likewife conddering whether dr no thefe long ® 
'Particles might not be that Matter that isfeparated from g 
• the Blood, and which'we call the Serum or Whey of H 
the Bloody but if it be fo, how can one conceive that i 
fuch Matter fhould boil half an hour long in Water, S 
. and remain in the fame feveral Days, without being dif- 
folvedor feparated. • 
Some People, perhaps, might be ready to think, that fl 
hereafter br|ght- Particles might be produced by fome ' | 
Medicine o.r other, that I had made ufe of, but that iH 
w^ould be a rhiftake ; for during my Fever, I did not take jT 
tiie lead: Phyfick, or indeed any thing elfc but a little 
Caudle, or a little Veal Brotli with fome Bread in 
it.
