To which I anfwer, That though the Orifice is flint before Coition, yet the motion and heat of the Vagina will open the Oiillce to give reception to the Genital Liquor, which though heavy, yet it may be moved by It". pulfe, as ejected by force out of the Vagina; and in cafe it is injeéh-d , only into the Vagina, yet it may be forced upward by llelhy Fibres contrm fling it and fending up the Semen into the Cavity of the lrllcrm. And then another quelhion may be liarted as difficult as this, How it can afcend from the Unity of the "term into the Tubes; which may be folved after this manner, That the Feed hath been feen by Fallopiltl‘ in the Cavity of the Tubes, but the dilliculty {till remaineth how it getteh up thither 3 which I humbly conceive, is effected by Helhy Fibres contracting the Cavity of r the llrmrr, and premng it upward into the hollownefs of the Defercnt \r'ellels which is afterward lelletied by its Fibres and thereby carrying up the Semen into the Tellicles, which being Colliquated by motion of the Twit and the heat and ferments of the ‘Uterm, giveth it a difpofition to enter the Pores of the Coat of the Telliclc and Velicle encircling the Feminal Liquor; whereupon the Egg being rendred fruitful, is leparated from the other7 and received into the top of the Tube 'l‘, and afterward ‘is prelietl down through its Cavity by the flelhy Fibres into the bofomc of the womb. learned a'c Gwaf is of an opinion, That the Seed it felf needeth not afeend, but only the Spiriiuous parts through the Cavity of the VVomb and its Tubes, to the Tellicles: Air illc dc iW/tlierum Organis, p, 243, Dicimm (vars/I'm; ("It'll/{finial}! non efli‘, quad Semen ipfitm ad ermm ant Tuba/5 afttm/at; ' furl >f1/t7fl't';'E//Ita(l Samba/L5 1mm illd [0oz pertrimfemzda at!

This Hypothefis, though it feemeth to have much of Probability, yet it doth not fpealt a full Satisfaction to an Inqniiitive mind, by reafon it oppofcth Ocular Demonltration, if We may give credit to Fallopian a worthy Phylician (of great Repute) thAt he law molt perfect Seminal Liquor in the Tubes, which he lhewed to divers SF pm"?- And ingenious ale Graizf endeavoureth to confirm the Autoply of Pal/«Wm with Cogent Arguments, That the Mafcnline Semen reCChL'Ll in Coition, is not rejected in fruitful Women, but tranfinitted through the Aperture of the Tubes ( adjoyning to the VVomb,) and from thence doth pafs throngh their Cavities; as this learned Author aHirmeth in his Book dc Organ: Mulicrum, p. 23 9, 240.
