10. $. The Ufes of Fruits are for Max, (fometimes alfo other 
Animals, as are Akerns and Haws ) and for the Seed. For Man, they 
are fo varioufly defirable, that till our Orchards and Store-Chambers, 
Confetioners-Stoves and Apothecaries-Shops, our Ladies Cloféts, their 
Tables or Hands are empty of them, I (hall not need to enquire for 
what. Ifit be asked, how the Fruit becomes, generally above all 
the other Parts, fo pleafant a Meat? It is partly from the Sap, the 
grofler portion thereof being depofited in the Leaves, and fo the 
purer hereunto referved. Partly from the Globular Figure of the 
Fruit, For the sap being thus in a greater quantity herein, and in 
all Parts equally diffus'd, the Concodfion hereof, as in a Veffel, is with 
greateft advantage favoured and promoted. Wherefore all Fruits, 
which we eat raw, how fmall foever, are of a Globular Form, or 
thereunto approaching ; and the nearer, the delicater 5 amongft 4p- 
ples, the Pipin 5 amongft Pears, the Burgundian ; and amongtt all 
Fruits, the Grapes and amongft Grapes, the roundeft, are of all, the 
moft dainty. 
11. $. The vifible caufe.of this Globular Figure, is the Flower 
or the Inoculation ofall the main Branches at the Stool of the Flower; 
and upon the fall of the Flower, the obtufeneß, and with Wind and 
Sun, asit were the feaimg of their feveral ends: For thus the Sap 
entering the Fruit, being not able to effect, either a Difunion, or a 
Jrooting forth of the faid Branches, and fo to carry on their Growth 
in length; they muft of neceflity be enarch’d, and with the Parez- 
chyma more and more expand themfelves. Whereas were they 
difpofed and qualified otherwife, than as is faid; inftead of forming 
a Fruit within bounds, they would run out into all extravagance, and 
even into another little Tree or Leafy Growth. 
12. $. Tothe Seed, the Fruit is ferviceable; Firft, in order to 
its being fupply'd witha due and moft convenient Sap, the greater 
part thereof, and that which isle elaborated, being, in its paflage to- 
wards the seed, thereinto received ; the Fruit doing the fame office 
tothe Seed, which the Leaves do to the Fruit ; the Sap in the Fruit 
being, in alaxe comparifon, asthe Wine ; and that for the Seed, a 
{mall part of the higheft Spirit rectified from it. 
13. $. So likewife for its Proteétion, in order to the profperous 
carrying on and perfeding of its generation, and fecurity being per- 
fected. Which protection it gives not only tothe Seminal Sap and Seed 
it (elf, but ever alfo to its Seed-Branch. Thus we fee an Apple, be- 
fides that it is it felf of ample compas, for the fake of its Seed, hath 
likewife its Coar; as if it were not fuficient, that the Walls of their 
Room are fo very thick, unlef alfo mainfoared. In a Pear again, 
where the Parenchyma is of leß compaß than that of an Apple, to what 
protection this affords, that of the Calenlary is fuper-added. But in.a 
Plum, where the Parenchyma is exceeding tender, andin a Peach, which 
hangs late, and till Autumn Frofts approach, we have not only the 
Rubbith of a Calculary, but {tout Stone-Walls, Within which alio, 
not only the Seed it If, but the seed-Branch is evermore immur’d 
Laftly, in a Nut, where the She being not furrounded with a P. 
chyma, thar protection is wanting without, *tis anfwer'd by an mpe
