lias fufficient Room, this will grow proportionally, 
whilft the Growth of the other being intirely 
flopped from the Beginning in its minute State, 
except perhaps an Arm, or Leg, or Head, <&c. that 
which has Liberty will have fuch fuperfluous Limb 
or Part growing with it, as remained uncomprefted, 
whilft the reft is obliterated and loft. 
The fame is alfo apparent in Vegetables: A Gar- 
rot, Parfnip, Radifh, and fuch-like Vegetables as 
naturally grow ftrait and well-form’d, may be dis- 
torted and alter’d at Pleafure, as they grow, by 
ComprelLion : For, as the nutritious Juices are equally 
diftributed, and attracted in rhe fame Quantity for 
the Ufe of the Whole j if a Comprefllon be made 
on any Part, thofe Juices, which are hinder'd to flow 
into the comprefled Part, will be determined elfe- 
where, and form Gibbofities and Deformities in 
other Parts of the Organization, where the Refin- 
ance is lefs, and the Whole become changed from 
its natural Form. Thus Gourds , as they grow, in 
applying Preflure by Ligatures, or otherwife, may 
be brought to various Forms; and Apples , placed 
in cylindrical 4 Phials , whilft fmall, will, by the la- 
teral Preflure, lofe their roundifh Form, and acquire 
that of a Cylinder. And thus Nurs, Apples, ire. 
may be conjoin’d and become double j and not be- 
caule there was a Superfluity of a fuppofed Matter 
to form them, by any fubordinate Help: AncPtnus 
alfo a Nut or Apple, ire. among a Bunch of tound 
ones, may, by Comprefllon of its Organization, be 
vitiated and ill-form’d j and not becaufe there wanted 
a Sufficiency of this fuppofed Matter.
