Here be Fifhes greater than any Beafts ; as the Whale is far greater than} 
A the Zlepbant. And Bealtsare (generally). greater than Birds. For Fifhes,} 
the caufemay be, thar becaufe they live not in the Air, they have nor their 
moifture drawn, and foaked by the Air; and Sun-Beams. Alfo they reft al-_ 
ways, in.amanner, and are fupported by the Water; whereas Motion and

without Fruit ; asin Cherries with double Flowers, much morein Fruit withe} 
out Stones, or Coars. It is repored, thata Cions of an Apple, grafted}

unlikely, that if the inward Pith of a Tree were taken our, fothat the Juyce } 
came onely by the Bark, it would work the effe&t. For it hath been obferved,| 
that in Pollards, if the Water get in on the top, and they become hollow, | 
they put forth the mere. Weaddalfo, that itis delivered for certain by fome, |

but nothing to the profit. But the £ng/ish Tobacco hath {mall credit, as be- |

hotter climate, can get no.credit for the fame caufe. Sothata tryal to} 
athing of great profit. Some have gone about to doit, by drenching the } 
English Tobacco, ina DecoGion or Intafion of Indian Zobacce. But chofeare |

run his race, can reccive much amendment; you muft.ever refort tothe ; 
beginnings of things for Melioration. The way of. Maturation of Zobacco |. 
mutt (as in other Plants) be from the Hear, either of the Earth, or of the ] | 
Sun. We fee fome leading of this in Musk-Melons, which are } 
upon a hot Bed, dunged below; upon a Bank turned upon the South 
to give Heat by Refletion; laid upon Tiles, which increafeth the

which addeth fome Life: And by thefe helps.they become as.
