If any {hall be fo inquifitive as to demand a reafon why the VL‘figlcs of 0f the Defercnt Veflelr {2f I/Voman. old and other barren Women cannot be impregnated; to which it may be replyed that Sterility may proceed either from the ill Conformation of the Tefticles, or from the Indifpofition of the Fanninine Seminal Liquor, not capable to be advanced to a Conception by that of Man. "Cdificrcm betwccnthc But how may the difference be known between the Hydatides of the S‘m‘m' Vcfi‘ Tellicles and the Veficles filled with Seminal Liquor, to which it may be éiiaiiw" anfwered the firft will grow hard in Coétion like the white of an Egg, and the other will retain its Fluidnefs, and no way admit any Concrction by the heat ofFire: Again, The Hydatides are appendant to the Mem. branes of the Tel'ciclcs, as by a kind of Stalks, which cannot be found in true Veficles belonging to the Teflicles of Women. , When the 0724 are impregnated by Coition, the Glandulous fnbflancc adhering to the Veficles groweth more large, whence arife Globules made of great variety of Glands, which Secern the Albuminons part of the Blood from the more hot and fierce Particles, and the more refined Atomes of the Nervous Liquor from the Lympha to propagate the Seminal Liquor included in the Velicles impregnated with the more Spirituous parts of the Genital Juice relating to the Male. Aving treated how the Seminal Liquor of the Male afcends the Womb, deferent Veffels, and how it infinuates it felf through the Fimbriae and Coats of the Tef'ticles and Veflels, and how it encorporates with the Seminal Liquor contained in them 5 and how it is Impregnated by Mafculine Semen 5 my Concern at this time, is, To {hew how the Veficles "chums through the or Eggs beincr rendted fruitful, do part from the other Veficles and pafs Ovisluflsm D ' receive a through the Coat of the Tefticles and defcend through the Tubes into the yttrium. bofom of the Womb to participate a greater Maturity. $335" in: The manner and way how the Impregnated Veficles of Seminal Liquor are parted from the other and excluded the Tefiicles, and received into, and tranfmitted through the Cavity of the Tubes, is of no lefs difliculty than importance to be underflood; whereupon I humbly conceive, that the 0724 when Impregnated, have an extraordinary Integument (Accrefcing to the Membrane, encompafling the Albuminous Liquor) endued with an Ex- ,TthXPYI- pulfive faculty, founded in flefliy Fibres, excluding the Ova the confines of the Tef'ticles. Prefently after the Coition is performed, a Glandulous Subftance interfperfed with VeHEls and fleihy Fibres, encircleth the Impregnated Veficle, whofe Membrane is Diaphanous before Coition, and afterward groweth Clouded and Opace, the firfi: fign of Impregnation and Rudiment of a Glandulous or Flefhy Coat (Immuring the fruitful Egg and no other,) which after it cometh to‘petfeétion is Enameled with Divarications of Arteries and Veins, Pariped with variety of Flefliy Fibres. This Glandulous Compage enclofing the 07/4 and interpofing it felf between the Membranes of the other Veficles doth part them one from ano- ther by breaking their tender Ligaments, by which they were mutually Sicrizciutggs ficflgffifis'" TheEggsare Ejihcdtrti‘clinby gg‘nggggnf;u_ fal'tned', So that the Impregnated 07/4 being loofened by the breach of bumblims- their fine Bands is thrown out of the Teflicles through a fmall Foramen, dilating it felf according to the capacity of the Egg gently conveyed through a narrow paiTage of the Tefticle, which is accomplifhed by a foft ContraEtion of the Heihy Fibres, leflening the circumference of the Clan- dulous covering, encompafiing the parted Egg, whereby it is expelled the confines of the Teflicle through a fmall hole, and entertained immediate- ly after by the Fimlzria, and from thence flideth into the Extremity of the Tube, and fo defcends through its Cavity, firft into the botom, and af~ terward into the bofom of the Womb.
