He contemplates the facrament as a 
focial feaft for rich and poor, of frequent 
obligation.

Two curious paflages occur in the fifth 
book De Trinitate, relative to the theory 
of refpiration ; of which Serveto, in com- 
mon, no doubt with the Arabic -{chools of 
medicine, had a very philofophic idea.

It is much to be lamented, that the 
Apologia {aid to have been addreffed by 
Sey to the phyficians ot Paris, was 
effectually fuppreffed : it would, no doubt, 
have thrown much light on the phy fics and: 
metaphyfics of the age.
