15. $. Ifthe fame Salt be predominant, and fome of its Particles 
placed, with the Pointed End of one, to the Side of another, or the 
Square End of one, to the Poynted End of another there the faid Fi- 
bres begin to fhoot at Angles lefs Acute. 
16. $. But ifeither the Marine or Nitrous Saltis predominant; or 
fome Particles of the Alkaline, are placed with the Square End of one, 
to the Side of another; there the Fibres begin to make, not Acute, but 
Right Angles 5 as do the greater Fibres, infome Leaves; and the fmal- 
ler, in all. 
17. $. IN thefame manner, the Fibre in the Circumference of 
the Leafis alfo governed 5 the Particles of the faid Salt, being reducea- 
ble, not only to any Angle, but alfo to any Circle, or other Crooked 
Line, as they are varioufly applyed. For if the major part be applied 
End to End, and only every Third or Fourth applied End to Side, they 
produce a great Circle. But if the Poynted End of each, be fet to the 
Side of another, they .make aleís. And if the Application be the fame, 
but to the contrary Side, they thence begin a new Circle with the 
fame Diameter; but with another Center, anfwerable to the intended 
Shape of the Leaf. 
18. $. AFTER the fame manner, the Aer-Vefels may be formed by 
the Particles of the Acid Salt, Which, without being fuppofed to be 
crooked ( as thofe of the Aer, at leaft the compounded ones, probably 
be ) only by applying the lefler Side of one, to the greater Side of 
another, will alfo be reduced to any either Gircular or Spiral Line. 
And fo, likewife, for the production of the winding Fibres,which com- 
pote the Bladders of the Pith and other Parenchymous Parts ofa Plant. 
19. $. Thusdoth Nature every where yeouereclv. For what She ap- 
pears in Her Works, She muft needs be alfo in their Cawfes.
