    PROP. XX. An encreafed Celerity of the Blood' Motion, encreafes the Fluid Secretion more than the Vifcid, and Vice verfe A decreafed Celerity lelTens the Fluin Secretions more than the V ifcid, Demonfiration. The Celerity of the Blood’s Motiof being greater, the Impetus by which the Arteries are diftrafted, or their Diame¬ ters enlarged, will be greater, and fo ex¬ ert its Force more upon the lefs compli¬ cated Arteries, than upon fuch as are more complicated, and confequently promote the Fluid more than the Vifcid Secretions, (for the Reafons given in the Demonftration of the i %th Trop.) and becaufe an encreafed Celerity will, by breaking the Blood into fmall Parts, ren¬ der it more Fluxil, and thereby fupply a greater quantity of fuch Particles, as will pafs the Glands, whofe Diameters are the leaft, therefore upon this account aHo an encreafed Celerity of the Blood’s Motion, will encreafe the Fluid Secreti¬ ons more than the Vifcid.
