4. §. Betwixt thefe Two Parenchymas, dorun moft of the princi- 
pal Fibres, or Vafewlar Threds. From which feveral fmaller ones are 
branched into the Inmoft Parezchyma 5 upon which, the Seeds do hang. 
5- §. Each of thefe {maller Branches is invefted with fome part of 
the midle or white Parenchyma, Serving partly to make the Covers of 
the Seed 5 and partly, the P#lp, that is, the Inmoft and fineft Parenchyma 
ofthe Berry, in which the Seed lies, 
A White CORIN, without taking off the Shiv, fheweth not 
unpleafantly how the Seeds are faftned. For as the Trunk of the Tree 
continues not to any confiderable Length, entire, as in a Plum, but 
is prefently divided into feveral Boughs 5 nor are the Edges of the Leaf” 
entire, as alfo in a Plum, but flit into feveral Lobes 3 and the Fruit, into 
a great many Corizs in a Bunch: So again, the Seeds do hang upon 
the Fibres, like Two other Bunches, inevery Corin, As by Refradi- 
on, Objeds of all Sizes are reprefented on the Walls of the Eye. The 
Operations of Nature being every where Uniform: and fometimes the 
fame in fmall, tranfcribed from a greater Copy. 
7. § A NUT, isa Plum inverted, or turned infide outward: 
For the Shel, ftanding naked, includes the Parenchyma: the bearded 
Cap, not precifely anfwering to that, but to’ the Evpalement of the 
Flower; which likewife in many other Plants, out-lives the Foliature 
and Embofomes the Uterws of the Seed. And whereas the Stone of a 
Plum is not Faced, but Lined with a Parenchyma derived at fecond hand 
from the Pith: The shell of a Nut is not Lined, but Faced with the 
iner Shiz of the Cap. 
8. §. AN AKERN, isthe Nut ofanozk Yet with this dif: 
ference 5 That befides the Cup, it ftands in, it hath only a Leather» or 
Parchment Cover inftead of a Shel. From whence it come to pafs,that 
whereas the Kernel of a Nut is {weet 5 that of an Akern, is of a very 
rough Taft: the Aujffere Parts of the Sap, which in a Nut are drained 
offinto the Shell, being here imbibed by the Kervel it (elf

ULERUS. 
Ge, O the forementioned Frzits, I thall fubjoyne,in fome 
mY Examples, the Defeription of the Seed-Cafe, which 
$i isanalogous tothe Fruit, For the Fruit, {triGily fo 
called, 1s, A Flefby Uterus, which krows more moift and 
Pulpy, as the Seed ripens. But the Seed-Cafe, whe- 
w3- ther it be called a Cod, Pod, or by any other name, 
MMP 4s A Membraneous Vierns, which as the Seed ripens, 
fill grows the more dry and hard: as in mot Plants,

ly when the Seed is ripe 3 Or never opens at all, till the Seed be fown. 
Of the fir Sort, is that of Luteolas as allo of Clary, Sage, Eyfop, and
