Far better reasons might be alleged, if I mistake not, of this difference; and withal I see no reason to the contrary, but that men might be of a great stature in these days, as in former times, and that by course of nature; if it pleased God to have it so.

The question following, why vegetables of greatest vigour, do not engross the properties of others less vigorous, is a senseless question.
