2IO the V/isDOM of GOD Part II. 



" for the Nourifliment of the Plant it felf, but 

 '' likewife is very ufeful to Men, Birds, and all 

 " Sorts of Infedts, whither in Scarcity of Wa-

 " without Refrefhment. 



" Captain Dampier^ in his Voyages, Vol II. 

 " oi Campeche, tells us. That thefe Bafins made 

 " of the Leaves of the Wild-Pine^ will hold a 

 " Pint and half or a Quart of Water, and that 

 *' when they find thefe Pinesy they flick their 

 " Knives into the Leaves juft above the Roots, 

 " and that lets out the Water, which they catch 

 " in their Hats, as (faith he) I have done many 

 *' times, to my great Relief. 



Fourthly, The Cinnamon-Tree of Ceylon, in 

 whofe Parts there is a wonderful Diverfity : Out 

 of the Root they get a Sort of Camphire, and its 

 Oil ; out of the Bark of the Trunk, the true Oil 

 of Cinnamon ; from the Leaves, an Oil like that 

 oi Cloves \ out of the Fruit, 2iyu?iipcr 0\\, with 

 a Mixture of thofe of Cinnanwi and Cloves -, be- 

 fides, they boil the Berries into a Sort of Wax, 

 out of which they make Candles, Plaifters, Un- 

 guents. Here we may take Notice of the Candle- 

 Trees of the Wejl-Indies, out of whofe Fruit, 

 boil'd to a thick fat Confiftence, are made very 

 good Candles, many of which have been lately 

 diftributed by that moft ingenious Merchant, 

 Mx. Charles Dubois.
