to. §. The Ufes of Fruits are for May, (fometimes alfo other 
Animals, as are Akerns and Haws) and for the Seed. For Mazz, they 
are fo varioufly defirable, that till our Orchards and Store-Chambers, 
Confettioners-Stoves and Apothecaries-Shops, our Ladies Cloféts, their 
Lables or Hands are empty of them, I fhall not need to enquire for 
what. If it be asked, how the Fruit becomes, generally above all 
the other Parts, fo pleafant a Meat? It is partly from the Sap, the 
grofler portion thereof being depofited in the Leaves, and fo the 
purer hereunto reférved. Partly from the Globular Figure of the 
Fruit. For the Sap being thus in a greater quantity herein, and in 
all Parts equally diffus'd, the Concoétion hereof, as ina Veffel, is with 
greateft advantage favoured and promoted. Wherefore all Fruits, 
which we eat raw, how {mall foever, are ofa Globular Form, or 
thereunto approaching; and the nearer, the delicater ; among{t Ap- 
ples, the Pipiz 5 among{t Pears, the Burgundians and amongft all 
Fruits, the Grapes and among{t Grapes, the roundeft, are of all, the 
moft dainty. 
tr. §. The vifible caufe of this Globular Figure, is the Flower ; 
or the Inofculation ofall the main Branches at the Stool of the F, lower ; 
and upon the fall of the Flower, the obtufenef%, and with Wind and 
Sun, asit were the feaing of their feveral ends: For thus the Sap 
entering the Frat, being not able to effect, either a Difunion, or a 
Shooting forth of the faid Branches, and fo to carry on their Growth 
in length; they muft of neceffity be enarch’d, and with the Paren- 
chyma more and more expand themfelves. Whereas were they 
difpofed and qualified otherwife, than as is faids inftead of forming 
a Fruit within bounds, they would run out into all extravagance, and 
even into another little Zveeor Leafy Growth. 
12. §. Tothe Seed, the Fruit is ferviceable; Firft, in order to 
its being fupply’d with a due and moft convenient Sap, the greater 
part thereof, and that which isle elaborated, being, in its paflage to- 
wards the Seed, thereinto received ; the Fruit doing the fame office 
to the Seed, which the Leaves doto the Fruit ; the Sap in the Fruit 
being, in a laxe comparifon, as the Wine 5 and that for the Seed, a 
{mall part of the higheft Spirit rectified from it. 
13. §. So likewife for its Proteétion, in order to the profperous 
carrying on arid perfeGting of its generation, and fecurity being per- 
fected. Which protection it gives not only tothe Seminal Sap and Seed 
it (elf but ever alfo to its Seed-Branch.’ Thus we fee an Apple, be- 
fides that it is it felf of ample compa, for the fake of its Seed, hath 
likewife its Coars as if it were not fufficient, that the Walls of their 
Room are fo very thick, unleft alfo wainfcoated. In a Pear again, 
where the Parenchyma is of lef compafs than that of an Apple, to what 
protection this affords, that of the Calculary is fuper-added. But in a 
Plum, where the Parenchyma is exceeding tender, and in a Peach, which 
hangs late, and till Autumn Frofts approach, we have not only the 
Rubbith of a Caleulary, but ftout Stone-Walls. Within which alfo, 
not only the Seed it If, but the seed-Branch is evermore immur’d. 
Laftly, in a Nut, where the Shel/ being not furrounded with a Paren. 
ebyma, that protection is wanting without, ’tis anfwer'd by an ample 
Pith
