First sentence: AS the generation of mankind is produced by the coition of both sexes, it necessarily follows, that the instruments of generation are of two sorts, male and female : the operations of which are by action and passion; and therein the agent is the seed, and the patient blood; whence we may easily collect, that the body of man being generated by action and passion, he must needs be subject thereunto during his life.
