appear'd to be the fame Qi,ieftion with 
that General one, namely, Whether Bo¬ 
dies like to Marine Bodies, found at a 
great diftance from the Sea, had been an¬ 
ciently produced in the Sea f But now, 
fince there are found in the Earth other 
Bodies, that are like thofe, which grow 
in fweet Waters, in the Ayr, and other 
Fluids j if we give to the Earth a power 
to produce there Bodies, we cannot take 
from her the faculty of producing others: 
And therefore the Quieftion was to be 
extended to all thofe Bodies, which be- 
ing digged out of the Earth, are found 
like to thofe, which elfcwhere we fee

Stones, many other Bodies having cer* 
tain Figures, which if one fhall fay they 
Are there producedbythepower of the 
place.
