CHAP. VL 
Of the FRUIT. 
“8 HE, general compofition of all Fruits is one, 
S\F that is, their Efential and truly Vital Parts, 
th are in all the fame, and but the continuation 
of thofe which in the other Parts of a Plant, 
3 we have already obferved. Yet becaufe by 
' the different Conftitutions and Tinttures of thefe 
Nx Parts, divers confiderably different Fracts re- 
Kee WweoOF falc; I thall therefore take aparticular view 
: ' of the more known and principal of them, _/e. 
Apples, Pears, Plums, Nuts and Berries. 

2. §. AN APPLE, if cut traverfe, appears conftitued of four 
diftin@ Parts, the Pilling, the Parenchyma, Branchery, and Ceare. "The 
Pilling is only the fpreading and dilatation of the Skin, or utmoft 
part of the Bargve in the Branch. The Parenchyma, when full ripe, 
isa tender delicate Meat. Yet as the Pilling is but the Continuation of 
the utmoft part ofthe Barque 5 fois this, but the continuance and am- 
pliation, or ( as I may call it _) the {welth and fuperbience of the In- 
ver Part thereof; whick upon obfervation of a young and Infant- Apple 
efpecially, is evident. Thus we fee the Pith, which is often tough 5 
in many Roots, as Parjneps, Turneps, &c. is tender and edible. So 
here, the Parenchyma, though originally no. more than the Bargue , 
yet the copioufnels and purity of its Sap being likewife effectual to 
the largnefs and finenefs of its growth, it thus becomes a foft and tender 
meat. The Branchery is nothing elf but the Ramifications of the Lig- 
nous Body througbout. all the parts of the Parenchyma; the greater 
Branches being likewife by the Ivofiulations of the lefS(.as in the Leaf) 
united together. The main Branches are ufually Twenty : Ten are 
{pred and diftributed through the Parenchyma, moft of them, enarch- 
ing themfelves towards the Cork or Stool of the Flower : The other 
Ten, running from the stalk in a direGer Line, at laft meet the for- 
mer at the faid Cork, and are there ofculated with them. Of thefe 
latter, five are originated from one 5 which running along the Center 
ofthe stalk, and part of the Parenchyma of the Fruit, 1s therein at 
lat divided. To thefe the Coats of the Kerzels are faftned. So that 
whereas moft of thefe Branches were originally extended even be- 
yond the Frat, and inferted into the Flower for the due growth 
there-
