[ 82 1 In the meantime, many of my father's propofitions ftand upon a good foundation, only reje6ting that generating power of the feed lodged in the reins. The reft of his arguments are very evident Some of the moderns may perhaps endeavour to explain thefe phenomena otherwife from their own hypothefis, as a certain ingenius perfon did, who was firmly perfuaded that the matter of the feed was made of the chyle and not of the blood and that by ftrokes upon the loins the fwelling alveus was heated, and then that the matter of the feed defcended with a fwifter motion to the genital parts. Reafons very different from thefe might be brought by fuch who are pleafed with the fanciful hypothefis Saccus Nervofus, or nervous juice, which they think, too, affords matter for the feed ; but it is not my bufinefs to enquire at prefent into the truth of their hypothefis. I perceive now that the obfervation is true in this inflance, which Grcecinus, in Columella, formerly faid of all kinds of inventions, That moft people began new works with more bold- nefs than they could maintain thefe that were before perfea. However, I think that the opinion I have propofed of the heat of the blood in the loins does not depend upon bare hypothefis but certain experi- ment
t 83 ment. If, excellent Sir, you are pleafed to approve of it, I fhall be much more confirmed in my opinion Farewell. Written at Helm- ftadt, Aug. 19, HEN. IVIEIBOMIUS, 1669.
