it pinched up too clofe, would be killed or {poyled before it came to 
the Birth. As Teeming Women, gradually flaken their Laces 5 or as 
Taylors wf to fplit their Stomachers into feveral Lappets, to {pread, as 
their Belly rifes. : 
4. §. Nor is the Pofture of the Parts in the Evspalement \e(s fuita- 
ble: not being filed one juft over another, but alternately. Whereby 
the Palesor Panuciles of every Under-Order, ferveto {top up the gaps 
made by the Recefs of the Upper. And fo, notwithftanding they all 
make more roome, yetall confpire to keep the Aer out. 
5. §. It is alfo worth the notice, That, for the fame purpofe, the 
Edges at leaft, of the feveral Pales, are neither Fébrous,nor Pulpy 5 but 
fo many extream fine tranfparent Skins, asin. Chamemile. Whereby 
they clofé fo exa@ly one over another, that it is impoffible for any Aer 
tocreep in, or any steams ufeful to the Attire or Seed, over haftily to 
perfpire. As we ufe, when we have puta Cork into a Bottle, to tie a 
Bladder over it. 

GHAR TT 
Of the FOLIATURE. 
“ HE Leaves of the Flower are folded up in fuch 
S<, Sort, asis moft agreeable to their own Shape, and 
that of their inclofed Attire: whereof I have 
given Inftances in the Fi? Mook, I thall here 
add fome further Remarques. 
2. g. The Leaves of the Flower of Blatta- 
ria, although of different Size and Shapes are 
“S““ fo lapped one over another, as to make an 
Equilateral Pentangle. 
~ 3. §. The Spiral Fold, which is properto the Flower, and never 
feen in the Greer Leaves 3 as it is it felf immediately vifible on the Sur- 
face, fo by cutting off the top of the Flower before it is expanded, 
feems alfo to make a Hefx 5 asin Perwincle, the larger Convoluulus, &c. 
4. §. Infome Flowers, where the Attire islofty or fpreading, asin 
Holioak, together with the Spiral Fold, the Leaves are all at the top 
tacked down a little; thereby making a blunter Cove, and fo a more 
ample Pyramid for the inclofed Attire. 
5. §. In Poppy, although the Leaves are extracdinary broad, yet 
being but few, and inclofing a {mall Attire ; they could not be well re- 
duced to any regular Fold, without leaving fuch a Vacwity, as by being 
filled with Aer, might be prejudicial to the seed. For which reafon, 
they are cramb’d up within the Evspalement by hundreds of little 
Wrinckles or Puckerss as if Three or Four fine Cambrick Handcherchifs 
were thruft into ones Pocket.
