is the Divarfe-Pine • which is Proper for the launches: Of thiskindeis j 
\ Hms-Uorne • which is Proper for Agues ^ and infeBhns: Of this kindeis 
i Pt*ny , Which is Proper for Stoppings in the Head : Of this kind is Fumitory. 
; which is Proper for the Spleene: And a Number of Others. Generally 3 
diners Creatures bred of PatrifaBion, though they be Ibmewhat loath- 
; fo.neio cake^re of this kinde. As Earth-wormes, Tmber-Soxcus, Sndles 
&c. And I conceiue, that the Trochifchs of Vipers, (which are fo much 
minified,) and the Flefbot Snakes fomewaies condited, and corrected 
(which of late are growne into fome Credit,) are of the fame Nature! 
So the P arts of Bert ft s Putrified • (as Caftoreum, and Muske, which haiie ex¬ 
treme Subtill Parts,) are to be placed amonglt them. We fee alfo that 
P am]fail tons of Plants , (as Agaricke , and lewes-Eare,) are of created Ver- 
cue. The Cauje is 3 for that Patrifattion is the Subtilleft of a?l Motions, in 
drr Parts o f Bodies: And fmee we cannot take downe the Lines of Lining 
Credares, (which fome of the Paracelfuns fay (if they could be taken 
downe,) would make vs Immortally) the Next is for Sabtiltyof Operati 
on, to take Bodies putrified y Su:h as may be fafely taken. 
i T liath bccneobfcrued by the Ancients, that Mucbrfe of Venn* doth 
Dimme the Sight . And yet Eunuchs , which are vnable to generate, are 
1 (neuertheleffe) alfo Dimme Sighted. The Caufeof Dimnef]e of sight• in 
che f ormer, is the Expence of Spirits : In the Latter, the Ouer-moifture of 
th q B rains: For the Ouer-moifture of the Braine doth thicken the Spirits 
rifua 1 ! , and obiirudeth their Paflages • As we fee by the Decay, in the 
Sight, in Age y Where alfo the Diminution of the Spirits conciirreth as 
another Caufe: wee fee alfo that Blindneffe commeth by Rheumes, and 
Cataratts. Now in Eunuchs, there are all the Notes of Moifture $ As the 
Swelling of their Thighes, the Loofonefleof their Belly, the Smooth^ 
nelfo of their Skinne,&c. 
The P leafnre in xho-Ail of Venus is the greateft of the Plea fares of 
the Senfes : The Matching of it with Itch is vnproper • though that alfo 
be Pleafing to the touch. But the Caafes are Profound. Firft, all the Or¬ 
gans of the Senfes qualifie the Motions of the Spirits • And make fo many 
fouerall Species of Motions, and Pleojures or Dfileafures thereupon, as 
there be bluerflties of Organs. The Inftrumcnts of .Sight, Hearings Tafte, 
and Smell, are- of feuerall frame; And fo are the Parts for Generation. 
Therefore Scdiger doth well, to make the P leaf me of Generation a Sixth 
| senfe\ And if-there were any other differing Organs, and Qualified Per¬ 
forations, for the Spirits to palfe; there would be more than the Fine Sen¬ 
fes : Neither doe we well know whether fome Be aft s, and Birds, haue 
not Senfes that wee know not: And the very Sent of Dogges is alnaoda 
Senfe by itfelfe. Secondly, the Pleafures of the Touch, are greater and 
deeper than thofe of the other Senfes ; As wee foe in warming vpon Cold , 
Or Refrigeration vpon Heat: For as the Paines of the Touch, are greater 
t!i an the Offences of other Senfes - 3 So likewifo are the P leaf ares. It iV true,
