I humbly conceive that there were not truly two Wombs, but one of them was a Deferent Veilel, in which the Imptegnated Egg, ex- ib'ufiion, Comprellion, or from the dlitemper of the richt or left Tribe or {ions of the Fuzzy/5 lb lunch difiending the Tube, did fet it at liberty by Teflicle , which I have often feen in the difleaion ofDWomen in whom lometimes the one, and other times the other hath been found to bediiafllfied with the Hydalider and other Diletifes. ‘ The‘fourth Objeélion may be this; That in one Coition in Hens, all the ngs oi the Ovary are made fruitful by the Cock, and why by the fame teaion, may not all the Veficles in the Telticles be at once impregnated , . by Man? 1 0 which it may be replied, That the Struaurc of Parts in Birds . concurreth very much to the univerfal making of the Eggs fruitful in Birds, becaufefithe Oxiduéts in them is ftraight and more ready for the conveyance ol‘ the Spirituous parts of the Semen to the Egas; whereas the Tubes in Man are full of Gyres and Maandcrs, which iiitercept or retard at leaf: the afcent of the fubtlc parts of the Mafculine Genital Liquor into the Eggs lodged in the Teltieles.

The Deferent Velfels of a VVoman have a double Life; the firfiisto con« vey the Spirituous particles of the Mafculine injcfled Seed out of the "term to the Tefticles , in order to impregnate the Eggs or Veliclcs of Albugineous Liquor.
