Book IV. of Fruits. 

_hot Countries, a more defecated or better fined Juyce. For the reas 
fon why the Stove is {o great, is becaufe the Veféls run fo very nu: 
meroufly through the Body of it; and fo caufe a more copious preci- 
pitation of the Lees of the Sap thereinto, 
7. §. A CHEERY is likewife near related toa Plum. But 
the Bracement or Reticulation of the Veffels, is here carried out further, 
fo asto be all round about contiguous to the sz. And as the Aer- 
Veffels in the Branch of a Cherry-Tree, are larger than thofe of an Ap- 
ple-Branch, but lefs than thofe of a Plem-Branchs fo may they be pre- 
fumed, to bear the fame Proportion here in the Frat, 
8. §. A WALNUT, isa Nuciprunes or betwixt a Plum and a 
Nut, asa Bat is betwixt a Beaffand a Bird. For the Rind, anfwers to 
the Pulp 5 andthe Shel, as the Stone, is alfo lined. But the Seed-Vef- 
fels, which in a Pla run through a Chazel made on purpofe in the 
Stone ; do here enter, asin a Nut, at the Centre of the Shell, By which 
means, they are invefted with amore fair Parenchyma 3; which Nature 
hath provided, as her Gloth, for the making of the Coats wide enough 
for fo vata Kernel, 

CHAP. lv, 
Of the GRAPE, and HAZEL-NVU1; with fome 
other Fruits, analogous to each of them. 
GRAPE, isa Plum with two Stoves; for their 
thicknefs, as hard as any other. The Diftribution 
of the Veféls is alfo fomewhat different. for the 
principal Fibres running up directly betwixt the 
2@ Stones; and the fmaller, making only one firigle 
YA) XP Net, near the Circumference ; they all meet toge- 
Se“ Se ther at the Top of theGrape. It is alfo to be no- 
ted, That many Lignous Fibres are vifibly mixed with the Skivit felf: 
whereby it becomes very thick andtough. And as the Aer-Veffels in 
the Trak of a Vine, are greater than in that of an Apple, Pear, or Plum: 
So is it to be prefumed, that ina Grape, they are greater than in the 
Fruits. of thofe Trees. 
2. §. The Parenchyma or Pulp of a Grape; feems to be derived, 
fiot from the Barque, asin an Apple; nor partly from the Barque, aiid 
partly from the P7t#h, as in a Goosberry: but wholly from the Pith; 
at leaft, as far as the Reticulation of the Fibres 3 and the Skiz only from 
the Barque 5 whereby the Pulp becomes fo tender and delicate a Meat. 
3. § A GOOSBERRY, hath a Threefold Parenchyma. The 
Utmoft is derived from the Barque,; of a Greener Colour, and very 
Sappy. The midlemoft, from the Pith; fomewhat white, and more 
dry, asthe Diametral Infertions in fome Roots. In both of them, the 
Bladders are very confpicuous, above what they are in ahy Fruit, I at 
prefent think of; fo as to be vifible toa good Eye without a Gifs.
