Which great degree of folution may well be

putrefying fubjed. Wherefore according to 
the old Axiom, Entia non funt temere ne-

If the notion of fermentation be reftrained 
to the greater repelling degrees of fermen- 
tation, in which fenfe it has commonly 
been underftood $ then it is as certain, that 
the juices of vegetables and animals do not 
ferment in a healthy ftate, as it is, that they 
do not at the fame time coalefce and difu- 
nite: But if fermentation be taken in a 
larger fenfe, for any the fmalleft to the great- 
eft degree of inteftine motipn of the par- 
ticles of a fluid, then all vegetable and ani- 
mal fluids are in a natural ftate, in feme 
degree of ferment, for they abound both with 
daftick and fulphureous particles: And it 
may with as much reafon be argued, that 
there is no degree of warmth in animals 
and vegetables, becaufe a great degree of 
heat will caufe a folution of continuity, as 
to fay, there is no degree of ferment in the 
fluids of thofe bodies, becaufe a great re- 
pelling degree of ferment will mod cer- 
tainly difiblve them.
