the Veffel 5 fo have we the Foramen in the upper Coat alfo contrived. 
Thatif there thould beneed of fome more Aiery Particles to excite 
the Fermentation, through this, they may obtain their Entry. Or, 
on the contrary, fhould there be any fuch Particles or Steams, as might 
damp the genuine proceeding thereof, through this again, they may

the Barrel, is to the new tunn’d Liquor.

the Inner and more fucculent Coat. That being thereby füppled on 
every fide, its eruption may be the better promoted.

Body ofthe Bean ; yet not indifcriminately neither 5 but, being filtred 
through the Outer Coat, and fermented in the Body of the Inner, isby 
mediation of the Cuticle, again more finely filtr’d, and fo entereth the

Root, as through that which is ofa more {patious content 5 befides the 
benefit it hath of a farther percolation, it willalfo find room enough 
for a more free and active fermenting and maturation herein. And be- 
ing moreover, part of the true Body of the Bea, and fo with its pro- 
per Seminalities or Tinölures copioufly repleat; the Sap will not only 
find roo», but alfo matter enough, by whofe Energy its Fermentation 
will (till be more advanced,

all the Branches of the Seminal Root, and fo under a fifth Government. 
Wherein how delicate ’tis now become, we may conceive by the pro- 
portion betwixt the Parenchyma and this Seminal Rost; fo much only 
of the beft digelted sap being difchargedfrom the whole Stock in that, 
as this will receive. And this, moreover, as the Parenchyma, with its 
Proper Serrimalitics being endowed 5 the Sap for the fupply of the Ra- 
dicle, and of the young Root from thence, is duly prepared therein,and

Sap therefore ought firft to be difpenced to this: which accordingly, 
is ever found to Ihoot forth before the Plume: and fometimesan inch
