 Eafe Eat where the Fn'it is ad- 

 mitted as a diilinguifiiing Character 

 of the Genu?, the Apple mould be 

 feparated from the Pear : and this 

 Diitinftion is founded in Nature ; 

 for thefe Frui:s will not take by 

 budding or grafting upon each 

 other, tho* it be pei formed with the 

 tstmofl Care. Indeed I have fome- 

 times fucceeded lb far as to have the 

 bud cr graft flicot ; but they foon 

 decayed, notwith (landing all poflible 

 Care was taken of them ; therefore 

 I (nan beg leave to continue the 

 Separation of the Apple from the 

 Pear, as hath been always pracli- 

 fcd'by theEetanifts before his time.
