But when there is not Matter enough to Form the genital Parts of a Boy,
the oeconomy of the Intelligence Husbands it and places and disposes
all things so well for the perfect forming of the Parts that 'tis not to
be express'd, but the situation is inward, as wanting Heat and Strength
of Matter to push them out, after this the Intelligence proceeds in the
Forming of the privy Parts of those Hermaphrodites who are counted
Girls, but are really Boys. These seem to Change Sexes, and in time come
to be Men, and Marry, and get Children. The natural and genital Heat
increasing daily, pushes out the privy Parts about the Age of fifteen,
twenty, or twenty five, 'till which time they lie hidden. These must be
at full Age before they are able to Caress a Woman; and where after the
coming out or the privy Parts they Copulate, it will be a hard matter
for them to Engender, being in their Nature Cold.
As the Intelligence wants Matter for the Forming of the privy Parts of
the three first sorts of Hermaphrodites, so there is more than there is
occasion for in the fourth. About the forty fifth Day, the Intelligence
being at a loss how to place the Matter it has receiv'd for the Amorous
Parts, determines at last to make the _Clotoris_ bigger and longer than
ordinary, and to leave to the inward genital Parts of a Girl a natural
Figure, that they may one Day serve for Generation.
