There are other forts of Juices, which will not of 
themfelves, that I have obferved, exudate out of the 
Wounds of their refpedive Plants and of this fort of 
Plants is the Holly. 
I wrentched and Wounded the Holly the latter end of ^J^^^'' 
March ; and yet after fome Days of warm and open jluif/. 
Wcaiher, I could not perceive the ieaft ftirring of Juice. Ainfilium 
The latter end of May^ the Batk begins to be full of 
Lime, A^hich }ou may try, by preffinga piece of it 
between your Fingers, and when you would take them 
off, the Juice or Lime draws out into Heirs, and follows 
your Fingers, cleaving to them like fmali Threads. 
This Lime or Juice is feparated or taken out of the^-^-.F.A 
Bark thus ; Peel off the Bark the Months of May, June, 
or July^ for it then comes eafily away, and moll a« 
boundswith Juice : Boil the Bark in fair Water, until 
it be fo tender, that the outmoft thin ^rey Bark or 
Membrane peel eafily off ; lay it (b peeled, and oover it 
over With green Nettles or Fern, or (uch like, S.5. 5. in a 
Cellar for about ten Days, where it wili ferment or 
rot, and become Mouldy. Take them out, and beat 
thsm well in a Mortar to a Pafte, and rcial them up in- 
to fmallHand-bafls, and in a running Spring wafh them 
clean, from all the woody or fticky parts ; which is ef- 
feded by pulling and teafing them. But Note well, 
1 That great care is to be taken in the walhing of the 
i Balls forbefides that they muft, if poffible, be forth- 
with waflied, the Lime will all get from you, except 
you fo order the matter, by eogaging with your Fin- 
gers that it entangle. You would imagine, that up- 
on breaking one of the Balls, that there was little or no 
Lime in ihem , fo freely they mouldtr and crumble. 
After it is once engaged throughly, it will endure walh- 
ing ; and the clearer you take away»the woody parts^ 
the better it is.
