Of the PEAR and QUINCE. 
oy PE AR, befides the Skiv, confifteth ofa Twofold 
Ma, Parenchyma, of Veffels, Tartareous Kuots or Grains, 
andaCoar, The Skiz is lined with a great num- 
ber of the {aid Tartareous Grains, through a Glafs, 
¢ about the bignefs of {mall Shot: whereby it looks 
withinfide,like the Shi of the Scate and fome other 
ne Fifes. Befides thofe which grow tothe sé, there 
are alfo many more ftanding near adjacent to it all round about the 
Fruit: altogether about 34 of an Inch in thicknefs, through a a@- 
crofcopes as in a Slice of a Pear cut tranfverfly is apparent. Somewhat 
more or lefs, as{ take it, according to the Delicacy or Harfhnefs of the 
Fruit as more in a Burgamy,or other {oft and {weet Pear, than in thofe 
which are called Strangulatoria. As all Vinows Liquors, and thofe efpe- 
cially which are the moft Tartareous, become more foft and {weet, ac- 
cording as they caft off their Tartar, in a greater quantity, upon the 
Sides of the Ve/fel. é 
2. §. The Outer Parenchyma, is of the fame Original, and gene- 
ral Stru€ure, asin an Apple, But the Bladders, anfwerable to the Shape 
of this Frat, not altogether fo long, with refpect to their Bredth. 
Throughout this Parenchyma, are alfo difperfed many {mall Turtareows 
Grains 5, moft of them fomewhat round, as thofe next the shiv, and 
of a like Sizes but nothing near fo numerous. 
3. §. The Bladders here, have alfo a different Pofition from that 
they have in an Apple: there, they are all fo f{tretched out, as to have 
re{pect to onecommon Centre, which is that ofthe Apple it {elf But 
here,they every wherebear a refpectto the {aid Tartareous Grains,every 
Grain being the Centre of acertain Number of Bladders 5 like a Star, 
in the midle of its Vortex. Whereby, fo many of the Tartareons parts 
of the Sap, as cannot well be thrown off upon the ski#, are more 
commodioufly difcharged, upon every little Kwot or Gratz, nearer 
hand. 
4. §. Throughout this Parenchywa, the Veffels likewile are difper- 
fed: Of the Two general Kinds, for Sap, and for Aer. The Aer-Vef- 
Jels, are here extream fall, as well as in an Apple; yet one degree, 
larger. They are both together diftributed into Fifteen principal 
Branches. The Five Utmoft make as many Arches, but commonly not 
near fodeep.as in an Apple. From thefe, fome {mall Fibres, yer a lit- 
tle more numeroufly than in an Apple, are difperfed throughout the 
Parenchyma. The Ten Inmoft run along tg the Seed, and from thence, 
with the other Five, tothe Flower. « 
5- §. Next the Coar, ftands the Inner Parexchyma, in divers refpects 
different from the Outer. The Bladders of the latter, as hath been 
faid, large and long ; ofthe former, fmall and round, anfwerable to 
thofe of the Pith,of which it feemsto be derived. Throughout that,
