tions of the Sap, may (till the better anfwer her end; hence, it is, that 
fhe carefully feeth, not only to the fpecial Nature and Proportion of 
the Organs, by which the doth her work ; but likewife to their very 
Pofition. Thus it is oblervable, That whereas the Lymphedu&s, which 
carry a more Watery Liquor, are (till placed on the inner Verge of the 
Barque, next tothe Aer-Vefféls : the Laétiferons and Refiniferous Veffels 
OF Plants, to whofe Oylie Liquor a mixture of much der is incongru- 
oùs 3 do ufually ftand, neither on the inner, nor the outer verge of the 
Barque but in the sidle. By which means, they are at the greateft 
diftance, and fo moft fcure, from the Aer; either that which enters 
the Barque at the Circumference, or from the Wood and Pith. 
11.$. AND becaufe the Refizous Liquors of Plants are more 
Oily, than their Milky3 their fecurity therefore, from the approach 
of the der, is yet further contrived. In that in Péxe, and other Re- 
frons Trees, the Diametral Infertions are never found or at leaft, not 
vifíble: which yet in other Trees, arc.confpicuons ; being thofe Parts, 
whole office it is, to introduce the 4er from the 4er-Defels into the 
Largentl, Barque. 
heir few 12, $. AGAIN, the Milky Liquors of Plants being thinner than 
Fir, and the Refizous, and having a confiderable quantity of Water mixed with 
, yet the their Oyl; hence it is, that in Milky Plants, as in Rhws, there are a 
j gp number of Lymphedués; and thofe ftanding nearer to the 
jadi lilky Veffels, than they do in Pine and the like, to the Refizous. By 
fed, ken which means they are better fitted to affufe their Agueons Parts more 
dh pilda plentifully to the faid Milky Liquor. 
13. $. FROM the Mixture of Watery Parts with the Oylie, it 
comes to país, that whereas all Lympha's, Mucilages, and Rofins are 
tranfparent 3 the Aque-oleous Liquors of Plants are Milky or white. 
or otherwife Opacons. For the fame thing is the caufe of the white- 
nefs of Vegetable, as of Animal-Milk : thatisto fay, a more copious 
mixture of Watery and Oily Parts per minima, or into one Body. For 
even the Serons and Oylie Parts of Animal Milk , when throughly 
feparated one from the other,they become very tranfparent. So the Stil- 
latitions Oyl of Anife Seeds, is molt tranfparent and limpid, even as Wa- 
ter it (elf: yet there is a known fort of White Amife-Seed Water, asitis 
commonly called: that it is to fay, wherein the Oyl, in diftillation, 
arifeth and is mixed more plentifully with the Water. And the Wa- 
ter, wherein the ftillatitious Oy! of any Vegetable is diffolved, becomes 
a perfett white Milk 3 as in this Honourable and Learned Prefence, Seamed 
have formerly had occafion to fhew the Experiment. (4) of Mixture
