Out of this Hif'tor yit may be clearly inferred, that the produélion ofa Polypus is made of many Filmes (feared one above another) whofe Interftices being kept open by an interceding current of Blood, do fomewhar refemble the Leaves of Plants, the Polypus are compofed of divers united Filamen as the Membranes of ts, not unlike the Fibres branched through the foliage of Trees. Some do entertain themfelves with an opinion , that the Membranes of the Polypus hath divarications ofBlood-Veflhls, which may feem fomewhar probable, by reafon the fmall fireams ofBlood, may be confined within the united Fibres, as within fo many Tubes, or Veffels, and after this manner Veilels may be formed in the Colliquaments ofSeed in the ‘Ulrrm of Animals, and in falfe Conceptions, and in the afcititious Glands, and all other {lefny excrefcenees. This Difeafe when it hath arrived a height, is incurable, as obflruéting the greater Trunks of Blood-Velfels, and the Ventricles ofthe Heart; where- upon the current of Blood is intercepted, the fore-runner of death; f0 that a Polypus adtnitterh no curatory indicat ion, as the Difeafe is mortal and therefore it concerneth the Profeffors of Phylick to be careful to prevetit this Inrh: btgim ning. topreVent a l'ulypus, Purging and Bleeding isgoet'. {ital malady in a timely taking away the caufe, confif'ting in a grofs mail; of Blood, made up ofover-fibrous Particles, produétive of a Polypus, Whofe prefervatory indication denoteth, in referen ce to the procatartick Caufe a SereneAir, Dieteafy of Digcl'rion, and moderate excrcife; and in relatijon to the antecedent caufc, Antilcorbuticlr, Diuretick, and Chalybeat Medicines, and chiefly Turnebrtc/g, Iflmrflmrmrg/J, and the Ger/mm Span: Waters much put the Blood into a kindly Fermentation, in attenuating its graft: nefs by a due precolation from bilious recrements, in the Hepatick Glands and from fixed Salt (a main caufe of Concoé tion in a Polypus,) in the Gland; of the Kidneys. In the beginning of this Difeafe, Bleeding and Purging will fpcak a great advantage to the Patient,by taking away the grofs Faculencies of the Blood and by promotingits circulation throug h the greater and lefs Tubes of Blood: chfels, and through the more enlarged Cillerns of the Heart Difeafeis principally feated.

Subftance. The Hearts of greater and lefs Beal'ts, are conceived to be lodged about; the middle of the Thorax, which mul‘t be meant of their Bafes, and not of their Cones, as lbmewhat inclining toward the Left Side 9 and the Hearts of Brutes have their Situation much nearer the middle of the Email, then that of Mans. The Hearts of other Animals, as well as Mans, are Conneéted to the Back by the Trunks of the Vemz C4714, and Arteria Magm. The lituation ofthc Hearts of other Auk mils. Th: Cum-m won oi the Heartsor'Anin' The Hearts of more perfeét Animals are endued with a round pyramidal Figure, and Cetaceous Fifh, with a flattilh pyramidal fhape. And thefe of mof‘t Animals have a Compage, encircled with a thin Meme mals. The Figure of their Hearts: brane, and made up of variety of Veffels, and many ranks of fielhy Fibres, ( interfperfed with tendinous and nervous Fibrils) conyoyned to each other by the interpofition of f'trong ligaments, and carnous Br‘anches,.that they may not be divided, but aflilt each other in yoynt Contractions in the Sya Role of the Heart. Learned T1mm: Bartlaoline giveth an account, that he difcovered in a Hog, an elegant contexture of Nerves about the Cone of the Left Ventricle, corroborating the fleihy walls of the Heart, and further difcemed many perforations about the bignefs of a Brifle, which paffed quite through the Septum of the Heart, from the Right to the Left Ventricle, where he found a Membrane, covering the holes, to intercept the regrefs of any Liquor from the Left to the Right Chamber of the Heart. . The Heart ofa Pig being opened, the Left Ventricle may be difcovered to be adorned with various ranks of carnous Fibres ( enwrapping each other) as alfo the mitral Valves 1- encircling the Orifice of the pulmonary Veine. The carnous Columns + of this Ventricle are more fmall and numerous then thofe of greater Animals 3 and have many Ligaments+ arifing out of the tops of thefe Columns, implanted into the mitral Valves. The centct tur< rchrvc about the Cone ot'thc Heart belong; it=g to a Hug, The Left Ventriclc ofa lg. fT, H.121 a.

' The Heart of a Lion is bigger then that of other Animals, according to the proportion of his Body, And hath a very hard and firm Compage as Learned Boritbirw aflirmeth )endued witha thick Wallin the Right Ventricle, and maybe obferved in a Dilfeéted Lion, the Sepmm to be extend~ ed, the whole length of the Heart, and not to exceed Paperin thickncls ; and both Ventricles to be ftufl‘ed with a glutinous Polypofe Matter,and one Valve Only to be for before the beginning of the Aorta. . ‘ The Heart of a Land Tortoife refembleth Fifh in its Figure, as tricufpr» dal, and alfo in one Ventricle, and Auricle, which is very eminent in this Animal, and being blown up, is threefold as big as the body of the Heart, and is hued with a‘ Blacltilli colour, and the Heart With Red.
