Sir, 
I Am glad, you have my honoured Friend, Mr.Reed'/^ 
Advcrtifements 5 for he is a perfon of fure veracity 
and much experience, and difdains not (for his diver* 
fion and recreation) to pracStife, with his own hands, 
inocufations and the finer kinds of graftings. And 
whatever becomc!5 of his exprefEons for the Defcent of 
Sap^ hls Inftances and Experiments annexed a-re very 
much obhging. You have publifhed my apprehenfions 
as to that points n© wonder, if th« elFedls, which 
Mr, Reed mentions, do follow from that correfpon- 
denceinallpartsof the whole Plant, (which is by me 
acknowledged,) efpecially, fince by theleaves, and all 
the pores in the branches, and body, the Plant draws a 
kind fuftenance from the Sun , Air and Dews , as by 
the roots from the fucculent foyl. And as the channels 
(which I may call the Conduits and Strainers) of feveral 
Stocks and Cions's do differ, fo may fome change of the 
liquor be made by feveral kinds of Diftillaticvn ^ as Spi- 
rit of Wine is fooner redtified in fome kinds of winding 
Tia-Inftruments , than in a plain perpendicular one.
