They are eaten familiarly of all forts of people, of fome for delight and

The red Warden and the Spanidi W arden are reckoned among the moft 
excellent of Peares, either to bake or to roail, for the ficke or for the found • 
And indeede, the Quince and the Warden are the two onely fruits are Deri

Perry, which is theiuyee of Peares prefled out, is a drinke much efteemed 
as well as Cyder, to be both drunke at home, and carried to the Sea anH 
found to be of good vfe in long voyages. ’ 
The Perry made of Choke Peares, notwithftanding theharfhneffe and 
emll tafte, both of the fruit when it is greene , as alfo of the iuyee wlvn it is 
new made, doth yet after a tew moneths become as milde and pleafanrie 
wine, and will hardly becknowne by thefight or tafte from it : this hath 
beene found true by often experience; and therefore wee may admire the 
goodnefTe of God that hath giuen fuch facilityto fowilde fruits, altooe- 
ther thought vfelefle, to become vfefull, and apply the benefit thereof both 
to the comfort of our loulcs and bodies. . n

Much more might be faid, both of thisand the other kinds of fruits- but
