Of the Fruit. 
fruit, and fo are the three coats which ferve for the gene¬ 
ration of the feed; being now all very dirtindt and re¬ 
markable. 
A peach hath a much bigger Hone, and therefore when 
full ripe, it hath a more defecated or better refined juice; 
the reafon why the ftone is fo great, is becaufe the veffels 
run fo numeroufly through the body of it; and fo caule 
-a more copious p erfpiration of the lees therein. 
A cherry is likewife nearly related to a plumb, but the 
bracement or reticulation of the veffels, is here carried 
on farther, fo as to be all round about contiguous to 
the fkin. 
A walnut is a nuciprune, or between a plumb and a 
nut, for the rind anfwers to the pulp, and the fhell, as 
the ftone, is alfo lined ; but the feed-veffels, which in a 
plumb run through a channel, made on purpofe in the 
ftone, do here enter as in a nut, at the center of the 
{hell; by which means they are inverted with a more fair 
parenchyma, 
Of the grape. 
Grape is as it were a plumb with two rtones, for 
li their thicknefs are as hard as any other. The prin¬ 
cipal fibres run diredtly between the rtones ; and the final- 
ler fibres, and make only one fingle net; near the cir¬ 
cumference they all meet together at the top of the grape.. 
Many lignous fibres are alfo mixed with the fkin itfelf, 
whereby it becomes very thick and tough. 
The parenchyma, or pulp of a grape feems to be de¬ 
rived from the pith, at leaft as far as the reticulation of 
the fibres.
