Other Anatomists tell ye the Seed is compos’d of an infinity of little Animals, which they call seminary; that these swim and flutter about in the Liquor, and may be easily discover’d with a Microscope; that these seminal Animals are so many Seeds of Men, which being convey’d to the _Ovarium_, strike at the first Egg they meet with; upon which one of them perforates the Membrane, or gets into the Egg by a suppos’d Orifice, and presently shuts it self up, leaving the rest to perish without Doors, unless some of them have the good Fortune to slip into another Egg. The Animal that enters the Egg, serves for _Sperm_, which by swelling it up, prompts it to disengage it self from the _Ovarium_, and tumble into the _Tuba_, which conducts it to the Womb. But the most substantial reasons given for the composure of the Seed are grounded upon Circulation, that the seminal Particles are separated and filtrated from the Blood by the Testicles; and Anatomists acquainted with the Structure of the Testicles, say, that the Seed is produc’d by a continual Filtration of several Particles, which being gather’d into a Body, make a Liquor that is qualify’d for the forming of a Man. Mr. _Lamy_ in his Anatomical Discourses, says, that the same necessity which obliges Plants after a set period of time to put forth the Seeds which give being to others, does likewise influence Animals at a certain Age to produce prolifick Seed, which he explains thus: The moisture of Infancy being consum’d by the overpowering Heat, the Blood is crouded with a greater number of Corpusculums qualified to nourish the Parts and repair their Losses, than there is occasion for; so that a great number of these nutritious Particles meeting with no reception in the respective Parts, return along with the Blood. The Head sends back such Particles as are proper for recomposing all the different Parts it is made of; and so do the other parts. Now all these various sorts of Particles being mix’d with the Blood, are strain’d through the Testicles; after which they rally and compose a Humour which is the sensible and corporeal part of the Seed of Man. Seed is a very sweet Liquor when ’tis in a regular State, but when ’tis long under confinement, it turns perfectly sower, and causes very pernicious effects in both Male and Female. Men are harsher in their Tempers, and frequently attack’d with Vapours to a degree; and Women are thrown into a deplorable Condition, which will find no absolute Cure, till the stagnating Seed is evacuated by Marriage: The Seed mixing with the Blood breaks its Texture and changes its Consistence; so that by rendring it more serous, liquid and cold, and by flattening the Redness of the Blood, it makes the colour of the Skin less lively; and at length occasions the _Virgins_ Distemper.
