6228Natural Hiſtory;
ſo a great ſecret of Preſervation of Bodies from change;
for if you can
prohibit, that they neither turn into Air, becauſe no Air cometh to them,
nor go into the Bodies Adjacent, becauſe they are utterly Heterogeneal, nor
make a round and circulation within themſelves; they will never change,
though they be in their Nature never ſo periſhable or mutable. We ſee how
Flies and Spiders, and the like, get a Sepulchre in Amber, more durable than
the Monument and Embalming of the Body of any King. And Iconceive the
like will be of Bodies put into Quick-ſilver. But then they muſt be but thin, as
a leaf or a peece of Paper or Parchment; for if they have a greater craſſi-
tude, they will alter in their own Body, though they ſpend not. But of this,
we ſhall ſpeak more when we handle the Title of Conſervation of Bodies.
