The Spirituous parts of the Seminal Liquor are produced out of its thin and delicate fubfiance, allilied by the natural and ambient heat, relaxing the Compage of the grofler parts; and are nothing elfc but a melt fubtle fluid thofe Bodies from which they cmane, fo in like mannera great company of Matter, rendred volatil by heat, whereupon it would quit its Ration, and iuofl fubtle Atoms arife out of every Particle of the Body, and Imprint their embody with Air, as near a-kin to it, was it not confined within the Walls of Diipofitiom and Configurations on the nutricious Liquors, the Maren}; Sub- more fixed matter. fl‘nztaof Genital Matter, which I will more fully Treat of in a Difcourfe of Generation. In the Seed of all Animals and Plants, is feared an inbred Spirit, endued with an efficient Plafiick Faculty, confifiing in the moft fubtl, volatile, fallne, m Volatil, The Malaria Subflmm of Genital Matter is compofed of two parts; the one is the more mild fubl'tance of the Blood of its ferous and Chymous Particles, not aflimilated into Vital Liquor, feparated from it in the Glands of the Tefiicles : Thefe foft Atoms of the Blood are endued with Vital Spirits, and volatil Particles, exalting the Seed. The other more delicate parts, lefs in quantity, and more in Vertue, are derived from the Nervous Juice, confcedcrated with the gentle parts of the Blood in the fubftance of the Tef‘ticles, acted with volatil, faline, and fine lpirituous elafiiclt Atoms, opening the Compage of the Serous and Chymous parts of the Blood, preparing it for Seminal Liquor, conflfting of differing Liquors, made up of fermentative Principles, broken into fmall Particles in the Body of the Tefticular Glands. So that it may be inferred upon good reafon, That the Seminal Juice is integrated of two parts, the one fubtil and fpirituous, as eonfifiing of the more thin and aéiive Atoms of the fine Particles of the Blood, and nervous Juice, impregnated with Animal Elaliiclt Spirits, enobling the Seed, as made up of aftive fermentativc Elements, chiefly conducive to the Generation 0{ is" Womb in Ani- 5mm" exalted by the natural heat of the and fulphurcous.
