These Glands have a sufficient Number of blood Vessels, they dont come
out of them in right Lines, but are observed to have many Convolutions,
Windings, and Insertions; there seems to be a very particular Reason,
from the Nature of the Liquor to be separated, for this Obliquity
of the blood Vessels; for since that Liquor is to be viscid and
mucilaginous, its Parts should proceed slowly, and not without
Difficulty, through the glandulary Pores; and therefore the Vessels
are contorted in the Manner we see, that the Motion of the Blood may
be retarded, and more Time and Leizure given, both for the separating
Particles of such a Nature, and for their Admission through the Pores
of the Glands.
