This experiment doth very much explain the manner of vision; the hole answering to the pupil of the eye, the crystalline humor to the lenticular glass, the dark room to the cavity containing the vitreous humor, and the white paper to the tunica retina.-Ray. On the Creation, pt. ii. § 11. Besides we see metals will vitrify; and perhaps some portion of the glass of metal vitrified, mixed in the pot of ordinary glass metal, will make the whole mass more tough. Bacon. Physiological Remains, We have glasses of divers kinds, and amongst them some of metals vitrificated, and other materials, beside those of which you make glasse.-Id. New Atlantis. And therefore vitrification maketh bodies brittle: as destroying the viscous humours which hinder the disruption of parts.-Brown. Vulgar Errours, b. ii. c. 5. Vitrification is the last work of fire, and a fusion of the salt and earth; which are the fixed elements of the composition; wherein the fusible salt draws the earth and infusible part into one continuum.-Id.

And without taking this vitrification upon the chymists' authority, it is manifest, that in glass made the common way, there is a great deal of borellia, sal alkali, or other lixiviate salt mixt with the sand.-Boyle.

The second way whereby bodies become black, is an atramentous condition or mixture, that is a vitriolate or copperose quality conjoyning with a terrestrious and astringent humidity.-Brown. Vulgar Errours, b. vi. c. 12. But whether this denigrating quality in copperose proceedeth from an iron participation, or rather in iron from a vitriolous communication; or whether black tinctures from metallical bodies be not from vitriolous parts contained in their sulphur, since common sulphur containeth also much vitriol, may admit consideration.-Id. Ib. I presently found it to be a vein, that lay at some depth under ground, and ran along (how far I knew not) like a vein of metalline ore, (and for such, upon that account, he mistook it) consisting of a black and heavy stuff, which, upon a few easy trials, I quickly found to be of a vitriolate nature. Boyle. Works, vol. v. p. 43. The earth about this place was a kind of white clay, had a sulphureous smell, and was soft and wet, the surface only excepted, over which was spread a thin dry crust, that had upon it some sulphur, and a vitriolic substance, tasting like alum.-Cook.

When a man becomes untractable, and inaccessible, by fierceness and pride, then vituperation comes upon him, and privation of honour follows him. Donne. Hist. of the Sept. (1633,) p. 155. Our ancestors, who were not very delicate, nor, generally speaking, much overburthened with respect for the feelings of foreigners, had a number of vituperative appellations derived from their real or supposed ill-qualities, of many of which the precise import cannot be now ascertained.

Boyle. Works, vol. iii. p. 165. And when a store of ideas is at last accumulated, it [the mind] feels as ontaneous confidence founded on conscious merit and shines at a mature age, with a lustre which it would never have displayed, if, instead of collecting ideas. it had been indulging its own pride in uttering vivacious nonsense. Knox. Winter Evenings, Even. 25.

A variety of ideas afford us no notion of succession unless we perceive one come before the other; nor can it be imagined that their degrees of vividness or faintness will do the job, for let a man stand with a candle in his hand between two looking glasses he will see a number of flames in the glass before him each fainter than the others, yet the whole scene will appear quiescent nor exhibit any idea of succession.-Search.

More. Philosophical Cabbala, c. 1. The nature of vivification is very worthy the enquiry; and as the nature of things is commonly better perceived, in small, than in great; and unperfect than in perfect; and in parts, than in whole: so the nature of vivification is best inquired in creatures bred of putrefaction.

But they do not explain to us the cause of this animation; or what is that vivifying principle, which so wonderfully changes the properties of the dead, insensible, inactive matter. Cogan. On the Passions, pt. ii. c. 1. VIVIPAROUS. Sp. Viviparo; Lat. of the Lower Ages, Viviparus, qui vivos foetus parit: opposed to oviparous, (qv.) Bearing or producing its young alive. So when we perceive that bats have teats, it is not unreasonable to infer they suckle their younglings with milk; but whereas no other flying animal hath these parts, we cannot from them expect a riviparous exclusion; but either a generation of eggs, or some vermiparous separation. Brown. Vulgar Errours, b. iii. c. 21. The usual distinction of animals, with respect to their manner of generation, has been into the oviparous and viviparous kinds; or, in other words, into those that bring an egg, which is afterwards hatched into life, and those that bring forth their young alive and perfect. Goldsmith. Animated Nature, vol. i. pt. ii. c. 2.

So usually the best friends of mankind, those who most heartily wish the peace and prosperity of the world, and most earnestly to their power strive to promote them, have all the disturbances and disasters happening charged on them, by those fiery virons, who (in pursuance of their base designs, or gratification of their wild passions) really do themselves embroil things, and raise miserable combustions in the world.-Barrow, vol. i.
