The ufe of the Spermatick Veins is to reconvey the Blood (toward the ‘ jhhs Heart) not ufeful in the Glands of the Tefticles, for the Generation and fupport of Genital Matter enclofed in the Veficles of the Ovaries. The Nerves of the Tellicles are of two forts, the one is derived from letNtrvrs of Nerves high}: OW the Far Vagnw, and the other from the 01 Satmm ‘, both thefe kinds do furnifh the Ovaries with fruitful Rarifications of Fibres, which arcin- ft-rted both into the Glands and Coats belonging to the Veficles of Seminal Liquor, called 0714 by the late Auatomifis The ufe of theft: Nerves is to convey Suctm Nutricim into the Subfiance 1'- of the Tefiicular Glands, where it incorporates (as I humbly conceive) with the more mild parts of the Blood, and enobleth it in order to generate the Seminal Liquor conferved in the Veficles, until there be a ufe of it. {uglgm, reafon they are all minif'terial to the Veficlcs, as conducive to the propaga_ tion of the Seminal Liquor conferved in them. Thefe Veficles, the nobler parts of the Ovaries, are teplcnifhed with di- Ttheficlts vers kinds of Liquors difcriminated by various Colours, tome Yellow , 32:23:: others Cryftalline and Tranfparent like Water, and others are Wheyifh or 219;: "iii" whitilh in Hue; molt of which are unkindly, and one only 'is natural, snors. which is of a Tranfparcnt Colour, fornewhat refembling the white of an Egg in Colour, and is fomewhat thinner in Confidence, as the Semen of VVomen is more watry than that of Men, by which it is rendrcd more ex. alted as endued with more active Fermentative Principles. Whence may be eafily inferred that the ufe of the 0m, lodged in the Tefticles of Women, is to be a material Caufe in the Formation of the Fae1m, which being exalted by the Seminal Liquor of the Male, is an efficient principle of Generation, giving an Efl‘ervefcence to the Faaminine Veficles, b vigorous Fermentative Elements, productive of Conception. Theft: Velicles of the Tef'ticlcs may be truly fiyled Eggs in reference to Th! Vtficlcs the great Analogy they hold in likenefs with the Eggs contained in the 32:33:; Ovaries of Birds, by reafon thefe Veficles are filled with Liquor (much refembling the white of an Egg ) which being boyled is Concreted into a White folid Subftance, the fame in Taft, Colour, and Confidence, with the white of 3 Birds Egg, coagulated by the heat of Fire. The Lyinphatduéts relating to. the Ovaries are made of a thin Tranfpiarent And it is of no great importance, that thofe of Women are not im- Tunicic, and have their roots arifing (as I fuppofe) out of the Tefiicular Glands, and afcend and branch themfelves into the Coat of the Ovaries, mured within thick and hard Shells as well as thofc of Birds, appointed by Nature to fecure them from outward violence of cold Air, as excluded the and from thence take their progrefs the neareft way (as I humbly COH‘ "term of the Fowl, whereas the Eggs of Women encompaffed with a foft Membrane, are laid in the warm bed of the uterus to preferve it againft the ceive) toward the common receptacle. The Life of the Lymphzedué‘ts is to receive the thin Recrements of the 3:563:35: ‘ Nerves and Arteries conveyed out of the fubl'tance of the Glands, wherein l ‘ the more pure parts of the Nervous and Mild Vital Liquor is difpofed of ThtGlanrls 3,2;}*"0"' , The Veficles belonging to the Ovaries, are the end and of hi," 1?"th" ta, Glands, by andperfection as Arteries, Veins, Nerves, Lymphaeduéls the other parts, The Spermatick Veins are much fhorter than the Arteries, as taking their Theufcoftlm encircled with the thin Tunicles of the Veficles. by Nature in order to the production of Albuminous Matter of the V6ficles, and the thin fuperfluous Lympha is admitted into the Origen of the Lymphaedufl's feared in the Glands of the Tefiicles.
