_Muschitoes_, or _Musketoes_, a little venomous fly, so light,
that perhaps 50 of them, before they've fill'd their bellies, scarce
weigh a grain, yet each has all the parts necessary to life, motion,
digestion, generation, _&c._ as veins, arteries, muscles, _&c._ each
has in his little body room for the five senses of seeing, hearing,
feeling, smelling, tasting: How inconceivably small must their organs
be! How inexpressibly fine the workmanship! And yet there are
little animals discovered by the microscope, to whom a _Musketo_ is
an _Elephant_! -- In a scarce summer any citizen may provide
Musketoes sufficient for his own family, by leaving tubs of
rain-water uncover'd in his yard; for in such water they lay their
eggs, which when hatch'd, become first little fish, afterwards put
forth legs and wings, leave the water, and fly into your windows.
