Chapter when G.o.d forbids it, "tis positively said, the plants of the field were not yet grown, for G.o.d had not caus"d it to rain upon the earth. I believe that the Serpent (if we shall literally understand it) from his proper form and figure, made his motion on his belly before the curse. I find the tryal of the Pucellage and virginity of Women, which G.o.d ordained the _Jews_, is very fallible. Experience and History informs me, that not onely many particular Women, but likewise whole Nations have escaped the curse of Childbirth, which G.o.d seems to p.r.o.nounce upon the whole s.e.x; yet do I believe that all this is true, which indeed my Reason would perswade me to be false; and this I think is no vulgar part of Faith, to believe a thing not only above, but contrary to Reason, and against the Arguments of our proper Senses.

Chapter _De Curiositate Aristotelis_. In brief, he is an Author of excellent use, and may with discretion be read unto great advantage: and hath therefore well deserved the Comments of _Casaubon_ and _Dalecampius_. But being miscellaneous in many things, he is to be received with suspition; for such as ama.s.s all relations, must erre in some, and may without offence be unbelieved in many.

Chapter of the Loadstone. Wherein substantially and upon experiment he scarce delivereth any thing: making long enumeration of its traditional qualities, whereof he seemeth to believe many, and some above convicted by experience, he is fain to salve as impostures of the Devil. But _Btius de Boot_ Physitian unto _Rodulphus_ the second, hath recompenced this defect; and in his Tract _De Lapidibus & Gemmis_, speaks very materially hereof; and his Discourse is consonant unto Experience and Reason.
Chapter 20
Chapter of the tincture of _Coral_ undertakes to clear the World of this Error, from the express experiment of _John Baptista de Nicole_, who was Overseer of the gathering of _Coral_ upon the Kingdom of _Thunis_. This Gentleman, saith he, desirous to find the nature of _Coral_, and to be resolved how it groweth at the bottom of the Sea, caused a man to go down no less then a hundred fathom, with express to take notice whether it were hard or soft in the place where it groweth. Who returning, brought in each hand a branch of _Coral_, affirming it was as hard at the bottom, as in the air where he delivered it. The same was also confirmed by a trial of his own, handling it a fathom under water before it felt the air. _Boetius_ in his Tract _De Gemmis_, is of the same opinion, not ascribing its concretion unto the air, but the coagulating spirits of Salt, and lapidifical juice of the Sea, which entring the parts of that Plant, overcomes its vegetability, and converts it into a lapideous substance.
Chapter 22
Chapter of diseases from the Gall, are somewhat too strict, and scarce admit a Reconciliation. The fallacie therefore of this conceit is not unlike the former; _A dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter_. Because they have not a bladder of gall, like those we usually observe in others, they have no gall at all. Which is a Paralogism not admittible; a fallacy that dwels not in a cloud, and needs not the Sun to scatter it.

Chapter said, that _Noah_ began to be an husbandman, that is, he was so, or earnestly performed the Acts thereof; so it is said of our Saviour, that he began to cast them out that bought and sold in the Temple, that is, he actually cast them out, or with alacrity effected it.
