1 64 An ESS AY on the Procefs Ghap, 6. 



a Jejfamine that was grafted with a Strip*d 

 one of the fame fort about two or three Foot 

 above the Ground 5 and fome Years after, the 

 fame Stripes did not only appear above, but 

 alfo in many Branches that were a confider- 

 able deal under the grafting place : But this I 

 rather fuppofe to be by a recoiling or retiring 

 of the Sap, which in this Tree is thinner 

 than in any other : And that it does thus re- 

 tire or fink towards the Vital Principle, as 

 the Blood in the Body of a frighted Animal 

 retires towards the Heart, is plain 5 for that 

 the Tops of this Tree die more than other 

 Trees do, by being left deftitute of Sap in 

 the Hybernial Quarters. 



And in all the Obfervations that I have 

 made, I have not feen the like in any other 

 Tree, but in fome Strip d Hollies that were 

 budded dole to the Ground 5 but this was 

 not plain enough to caft this Opinion, be- 

 caufe they were not Strip'd, but Yellow, 

 which may be by fome Defed or rather Sport 

 in Nature, and fo likewife might the firft 

 Example be. 



To what has ,been faid already on Fege- 

 iatioii^ I Ihali fubjoin fome of the remaining 

 part of the Obfervation of that Ingenious Au- 

 thor before mentioned, which has more 

 weighs IP it than any thing a private Perfon 

 can fay, and will fpread thofe ingenious 

 ihoughts more univerfally among Gjr^/^7z^r^ 

 which is at prefeiit very much wanted ^ for 

 which leafon, I hope J ihaji be excus'd of 



Plagiarifm,
