Then I cut off and feparated entirely from the Tree, feveral 
pares of the Bark^ fome lliallower , leaving part of the Bark on • 
others to the very wood it felf ^ both in the Trunk and Branches • 
from an inch fquare to lefs dimenfions and fome of them I bound 
clofe with pack-thred ; all which were feparated j a new Rind fuc- 
ceeding in their place. Some I cover' d over , beyond the place of 
Incifion, mih Diachjlon-fUifler ^ and tied them faft with pack-

I alfo feparated a Twig from the Branch 5 by cutting of it flor
