the Sap moveth not only by the 

 length 5 but breadth of the nth 5 

 at the fame time therefore as it 

 partly afcendeth by the PJth^ it 

 is hkewife in part prcffed into the 

 Lignous Body or into its Pores. 

 And fince the motion of the Sap 

 by the breadth of the Fith not be- 

 ing far continued, and but collate- 

 ral, is more prone and eafie than 

 the perpendicular.) or by its lengthy 

 it therefore folio ws, that the col- 

 lateral motion of the Sap 5 atfuch 

 a height or part of the Pith:, will 

 be equally ftrong with the perpen- 

 dicular at another part^ though 

 fomewhat beneath it 5 and that 

 where the perpendicular is more 

 broken and weak^ the collateral 

 will be le(s 5 and confequently 

 where the perpendicular tendency 

 of the Sap hath its term, the col- 

 lateral tendency thereof^ and fo 

 its preflure mto the Pores of the 

 Ugnotfs Body will fcill continue.
