The Teeth are in Men of three kindes, Sharp, as the Fore-teeth;
Broad, as
22752. the Back-teeth, which we call the Molar-teeth, or Grinders; and Pointed-teeth,
or Canine, which are between both. But there have been ſome Men that
have had their Teeth undivided, as of one whole Bone, with ſome little
mark in the place of the Diviſion, as Pyrrhus had. Some Creatures have
over-long or out growing Teah, which we call Fangs or Tusks; as Boars,
Pikes, Salmons, and Dogs, though leſs. Some Living Creatures have Teeth
againſt Teeth, as Men and Horſes; and ſome have Teeth, eſpecially their Maſter-
teeth, indented one within another like Saws, as Lions; and ſo again have
Dogs. Some Fishes have divers Rows of Teeth in the Roofs of their Mouths;
as Pikes, Salmons, Trouts, & c. and many more in Salt. waters. Snakes and other
Serpents have venemous Tee@h, which are ſometimes miſtaken for their
Sting.

Horſes have, at three years old, a Tooth put forth which they call the
44754. Colis-tooth; and at four years old, there cometh the Mark-tooth, which hath
a hole ſo big as you may lay a Peaſe within it; and that weareth ſhorter
and ſhorter every year, till that at eight years old the Tooth is ſmooth,
and the hole gone; and then they ſay, That the Mark is out of the Horſes
Mouth.

The Teeth of Men breed firſt;

55755. half old, and then they caſt them, and new come about ſeven years old. But
divershave Backward-teeth come forth attwenty, yea, ſome at thirty, and
forty. Quare of the manner of the coming of them forth. They tell atale
of the old Counteſs of Deſmond, who lived till ſhe was Sevenſcore years

coming in their place.

Teeth are much hurt by Sweet-meats, and by Painting with Mercury,

Concerning Teeth, theſe things are to be conſidered.
1.
The preſerving

leaſt pain. 4. The ſtaying and eaſing of the Tooth-ach. 5. The binding in
of Artificial Teeth, where Teeth have been ſtrucken out. 6. And laſt of
all, that great one, of reſtoring Teeth in Age. The inſtances that give any
likelihood of reſtoring Teeth in Age, are, The late coming of Teeth in
ſome, and the renewing of the Beaks in Birds, which are commaterial with
Teeth. Quare thereſore more particularly how that cometh. And again,
the renewing of Horns, But yet that hath not been known to have been
provoked by Art; therefore let tryal be made, whether Horns may be pro-
cured to grow in Beaſts that are not horned, and how; and whether they
may be procured to come larger then uſual, as to make an Ox or a
