Chap. 70. The creations of Figures, and difference of Motions.
THose motions that are proper to create figures, are dif∣ferent from those motions that dissolve them, so that sympathetical internal motions, do not onely assist one another, but Sympathetical external Motions, and Sympathetical figures; this is the reason that from two fi∣gures, a third, or more is created, by the way of procrea∣tion; yet all figures are created, after one and the same kinde of way; yet not after one and the same man∣ner of way, as Vegetables, Minerals, and some sorts of Animals, as such as are bred from that we call corruption, as some sorts of worms, and some sorts of flies, and the like;* 1.1 Yet are they created by the procreation of the heat, and moisture, the same way are plants that grow wilde produ∣ced, but those that are sown or set, although they are after one and the same kinde of way, yet not after the same* 1.2 manner; for the young vegetables, were produced from the seeds, and the earth, which were sowed, or set together, and in grafts is when two different plants produce seed of mixt nature, as a Mule is produced, or the like creature, from two different Animals, which make them of mixt nature; for As there is a Sympathetical conjunction in one, and the same kinde of figure, so there is a Sympathetical conjunction in some sorts of figures; but not in all, nor to all, for that would make such a confusion in nature, as there would be no distinction, of kindes; besides, it were impossible for some kinde of figures, to make a conjunction with other kindes,
