The Sense of Generation, or Procre∣ation.

I am not the first which have termed it a Sense, but it is set down to my Hands by that title, who from its de∣light in the act, give it that name. Its pleasure exceeds the delights of all the other Senses, and is contrary to them: hear what my Author saith concerning it, Croo• lib. 8. fol. 648. Nature hath endued the parts of Gene∣ration with a most exquisite Sense of tickling pleasure, for the conservation of the species, or kinds of Creatures; so that the Creatures being ravished with an incredible kind of pleasures, do more readily apply themselves to vene∣rial embracements: which otherwise is a thing filthy and abominable, and would not be done; were not the Sense of pleasure, in the case which is variable, according to its several Acts: as,

• The Dclectation of the Senses, the fountain of plea∣sure: it is the Sense of delight, that Creatures have in the conception of their species or kinds, whose instruments are the weapons of Procreation.
• The Aspection, or beholding and assosiation, or ac∣companying of the Creatures, each with its desired Mate.
• The Osculation, or kissing; and the Amplectation, or embraceings of the Creatures.
• The Surgation, or rising of the instrument of Pro∣creation.
• The Extention, or Prostitution; the laying out of the Body, the humble of the Creature.
• The Iungation, or Copulation; the joyning and coupling of the parts.
• The Stupification, the dulling and besotting of all the other Senses in this act.
• The Ejection, or Ejaculation; is the parting with of the Spermatick humour, or Semenical liquor which consummateth the action.
• The Titillation, or tickling pleasure, in Procre∣ation.
