Note a — BOOK VIII.
Reading edition
The Doctrine of Æquivocal Generation, is at this Day so sufficiently exploded by all learned Philosophers, that I shall not enter the Dispute, but take it for granted, that all Animals spring from other Parent-Animals. If the Reader hath any doubt about it, I refer him to Seigneur Redi de Gen. Insect. and M. Ray’s Wisd. of God, &c. p. 344. See also before, Book IV. Ch. 15. Note (a).
