come fir It, will bee many times jjjdiuers Colours, according to the Na¬ 
ture of the Bird ; For thatthe Skin is more, porous- 5 But when the Skin 
is moreChut,and clofe, the Feathers will come White. Thisisa good Ex¬ 
periment, not only for the producing of Birds, and Beafts of (1 range Colours; 
but alfo for the Difclofure of the Nature of Colours themfelues • which 
of them require a finer Porofity, and which a grolfer. 
I T is a workeof Prouidence, that hath beene truly oblerued by fome ; 
That the Yolke of the £^tf,conduceth little to the Generation of the Bird-, 
Butonely to the Nonrijbmcnt of the fame : For if a Chicken bee opened, 
\ when it isnew hatched; you lliall finde much of the Yolke remaining. And 
’ it is needful], that Birds, that are fhaped without the Females Wombe; 
haue in the Egge, as well Matter of Nourishment, as Matter of generation 
for the Body. For after the Egge is laid, and leuered from the Body of the 
Hen ; It hath no more Nourifhment from the Hen *, but onely a quickning 
Heat when fhe fitteth. But Beafts, and Men need not the matter of Now- 
rifhment within rhemfelues-becaufe they are fhaped within the Wombe 
of the Female, and are nourifhed continually from her Body. 
I T is an Inueterate and receiued Opinion , that Cantharides applied 
to any part of the Body, touch the Bladder , and cxulcerate it, if they 
ftay on long. It is likewife Receiued, that a kindeof Stone, which they 
bring out of the Weft Indies, hath a peculiar force to moue Grauell, and 
to diftolue the Stone • Info much, as laid but to the wreft, it hath lb for¬ 
cibly fent downe Grauell, as Men haue beene glad to remouc it; It was lb 
violent. / 
It is receiued and confirmed by daily Experience, thatthe Soaks of 
the Feet haue great Affinity with the Head, and the Mouth of the Sto- 
macke: As we fee, Going wet-flood. to thole that vie it nor, ^ffedeth both ; 
Applicationsof hot Powders to the Feet attenuate lirft, and after irv the 
Rheume : And therefore a Phyjitian, that would bee Myfticall, preferi- 
beth, for the Cure of the Rheume, that a Man fhouldwalke Continual¬ 
ly vpona Cawomill Alley ; Meaning that hee fhould put CamomtU within 
his Sockes. Likewife Pigeons Bleeding , applied to the Soales of the Feet , 
eafe the Head . And Soporijerous Medicines applied vnto them, prouoke 
Sleepe. 
' It feemeth, that as the Feet haue a Sympathy with the Head ; So the 
ivrejls and Hands, haue a Sympathy with the Hearty We lee the Aft cels 
and Palfions of the Heart, and Spirits, are notably difclofeci by the Pulfe ; 
And it is often tried, that Iuyces of Stock Gilli-flowers, Rofe Campian, 
Garltcke, and other things • applyed to the wrefts, and renewed • h.iue cu - 
red long Agues. And I conceiue, that wafhing with certaine Liquor s % the 
Palmes of the Hands, doth much good : And they doe well in Heats of A- 
gues, to hold in the Hands Egges of Alahlafter , and Bals of Cry flail. 
Ofthefe things we /hallfpeake more,when we handle the Title of Sympathy 
and Antipathy, in the proper Place .
