which are the terminations of fo many leffer Branches therewith di. 
ftributed to the feveral parts of the Plume, The diftribution of the 
YES Inner Body, as it is continuous throughout all the Organical Parts of 
the Bean, is reprefented, Tab.1.£.14. ¢ 
27. §. This Inner Body is, by diffe@ion, beft obfervable in the 
Bean and great Lupine. Inother larger Pulfe it thews likewife fome 
obfcure Marks of it fel. But in no other Seeds which I have obferved, 
though of the greateft fize: as of Apples, Plums, Nuts, Sc. is there any 
clear appearance hereof, upon difleétion, faving in the Radicle and 
Plume 3 the reafon of which is partly from its being, in molt seeds, 
fo extraordinary little ; partly from its Colour, which in moft Seeds, 
is the fame with that of the Parenchyma it (elf, and fo not diftinguifha- 
ble from it. 
28. s. Yet ina Gourd-seed, the whole Seminal Root, not only its 
Main Branches, but alfo the Sub-divifions and Inofeulations of the lefler 
ones, are without any diflection, upon the feparation of the Lobes, on 
their contiguous Flats immediately apparent. x 
Andas to the exiftence of this Seminal Root, what Diffetion can- 
not attain, yet anocular infpection in hundreds of other seeds, even 
the fmalleft, will demonftrates as in this Chapter (hall be feen how. 
29. $. In the mean time, Jet us only take notice; That when we 
fay, every Plant hath its Root, we reckon fhort. Forevery Plant hath 
really two, though not contemporary, yet fuccellive Roots ; its Ori- 
ginal or Senrinal-Root within the Lobes or Main Body of its Seeds and 
its Plant-Root, which the Radicle becometh in its growth : the Paren- 
chyma of the Seed, being in fome refemblance, that to the Semin 
Root at firft, which the Mould is to the Plant-Root afterwards 5 and 
the Seminal Root being that to the P/ant-Root, which the Plant-Root 
istothe Trunk, For our better underftanding whereof, having taken 
a view of the feveral Parts of a Beam, as far as DifleGion conduéts 3 
we will next briefly enquire into the Ufe of the faid Parts, and in 
what manner they are the Fountain of Vegetation, and concurrent to the 
beingof the future Plant. 
An Account 30. $. THE GENERAL Caufe ofthe growth ofa Bean, or other 
ofthe Vege- Seed, is Fermentation, That is, the Bean lyingin the Mould, and a 
Es of the moderate acceß of fome moifture, partly diffimilar, and partly conge- 
Seed, 
nerous, being made, a gentle Fermentation thence arifeth. By which, 
the Bear fwelling, andthe Sap (till encreafing, and the Bea» continu- 
ing {till to fwell, the work thus proceeds : asis the ufal way of ex- 
plicating. But that there is fimply a Fermentation, and fo a fafficient 
fupply of sap isnot enough: but that this Fermentation, and the sap 
wherein ‘tis made, fhould be under a various Government, by divers 
Parts thereto fübfervient, is allo requifite 5 and as the various prepa- 
ration of the Aliment inan Animal, equally neceflary = the particular 
proceß of the Work according whereto, we find none undertaking to 
declare. 
31. $. Let us look upon a Bean then, as a piece of Work fo fram'd 
and fet together, as to declarea Defign for the produétion of a Plants 
which, upon its lying in fome convenient Soil, is thus effected. Firft 
ofall, the Bean being enfoulded round in its Coats, the Sap wherewith 
it is fed, mutt of neceffity pal through thefe : By which means, itis
