15. §. Ifthe fame Salt be predominant, and fome of its Particles 
placed, with the Pointed End of one, to the Side of another, or the 
Square End of one, to the Poynted End of another ; there the faid Fi- 
bres begin to fhoot at Avgles lefs Acute. 




Tab, 53. 












16. §. But ifeither the Marine or Nitrous Salt is predominant; or _ 
fome Particles of the Alkaline, are placed with the Square End of one, 
Tab. 53. tothe Side of anothers there the Fibres begin to make, not Acute, but 
Right Angles; as do the greater Fibres, in fome Leavess and the {mal- 
ler, in all. 















17. §. IN thefame manner, the Fibre in the Circumference of 
the Leafis alfo governed 5 the Particles of the faid Salt, being reducea- 
ble, not only to any Axgle, but alfoto any Circle, or other Crooked 
Line, as they arevarioully applyed. For if the ajor part be applied 
Tab, 53, _EndtoEnd, and only every Third or Fourth applied End to Side, they 
produce a great Circle, But if the Poynted End ofeach, be fet tothe 
Side of another, they makealef. And if the Application be the fame, 
but to the contrary Side, they thence begin a new Circle with the 
fame Diameter, but with another Center, anfwerable to the intended 
Shape of the Leaf. 














18. §. AFTER the fame manner, the Aer-Vefels may be formed by 
the Particles of the Acid Salt. Which, without being fuppofed to be 
crooked ( as thofe of the Aer, at leaft the compounded ones, probably 
be ) only by applying the leffer Side of one, to the greater Side of 
another, will alfo be reduced to any either Gircular or Spiral Line. 
Tab, 53. And fo, likewife, for the production of the winding Fibres,which com- 
p pofe the Bladders of the Pith and other Parenchymous Parts of a Plant. 













19. §. Thusdoth Nature every where yeautreciv. For what She ap- 
pears in Her Works, She muft needs be alfo in their Can/és.
