the feveral Fibres, which run by the length of the Stalk, are alfo con- 
joyned by other fmaller ones, which (tand tranfver(ly. 
4. $- Whether they are Aer-Feffels, or Sap-Vefels, is dubious, For, 
on the one hand, becaufe they emit no Sap, or bleed not,and alfo ftand 
adjacent tothe Aer; *tis probable that they are Aer-Veffels. On the 
other hand, they may be Sap-Vejfels; notwithftanding that they bleed 
not: Becaufe the non-emiffion of Sap is not an infallible and concluding 
argument ofan Aer-Vefel. For there are fome Plants which bleed not. 
Which yet are furnithed with sap-Vefféls, as certainly as any others

22. where more, than in the better fort of walking Canes 5 where the 
Pores are fo big, asto be vifible even to the naked Eye: like to thofe, 
Tab. 20, Which are obfervable in feveral parts of the Ball of the Hand, and up- 
on the ends ofthe Fingers and Toes. 
6. $. THE Main Body of the Barque confifteth likewife of two 
Parts, (e. Parenchyma, and Vefjels. The Parenchyma is made up of an 
ii innumerable company of fmall Bladders clufter’d together. Differing 
Tab. 22.6 in nothing from thofe aforefaid in the Skin faving, that they are much 
Sequent. larger 5 and generally rounder. 
7» $. This Parenchyma of the Barque is the fame, as to its Sube 
flance, both in the Root and Trunk, Yet as to the Texture of its Parts, 
in the one, and in the other, there is This obfervable difference, viz, 
That in the Barque of the Root, cut tranfverfly, the faid Parenchyma 
(as hath been fhew’d ) is ufually, more or lef, difpofed into Diametral 
Tab. 7,8,9. Rs; running through the Barque, after the fame manner, as do the 
the Howr-Lines through the Margin of the Dial-plate of a Clock or 
Watch: asin Mar(b-Mallow, Lovage, Melilot, and others. Whereas 
here in the Barque of the Trunk, the faid Parenchyma is rarely thus 
Tab. 22. difpofed into Dimetral Rays: Nor when it is, are thofe Rays continued 
& Seg. tothe Circumference of the Barque 5 asin the Barque of the Root they 
frequently are. So in Rhws or Swmach, although part of the Paren- 
234 chyna be difposd into Diametral Rays: yet are thofe Rays extended 
not half way through the Barque. “So alfo in Fig-tree, Worm-mood, 
Thiféle, and others. What is further obfervable in the Texture of the 
Parenchyma, Y {hall thew in the defeription of the Pith. 
8. $. THE Vefels of the Barque, are, as I fhail alo thew, diver- 
fifyed many ways. But there are fome Things, wherein, in all Sorts 
of Plants, they agree. Firft, in ftanding, molt numeroufly, in or near, 
the inner Margin ofthe Barque. Secondly, in being always, and only 
Sap-Veffls. Ihave viewed fo many, that at leaft, I can fecurely affirm 
thus much, That ifthere be any Heteroclital Plants, wherein they are 
found otherwife, there isnot One, in Five Hundred, Thirdly, in be- 
ing always Conjugated or Braced together in the formof Net-work. Al- 
i though the Number and Diftances of the Braces, are very different: as 
o Thayealready fhewed in the Anatomy of Roots. 
9. $. THE Properties, whereby the faid Vofels of the Barque are 
fpecificated and diltinguiíhed one from another, both in the fame 
Plant, and in the feveral Species of Plants, are very many. Which 
Properties, are not Accidental, but fach as thew the Conftant and 
Univerfal Defign of Nature, All which (hall be demonftrated by the 
Defeription of feveral Quarters of the Slices, of fo many un ior
