HVSBANDMAN I have read in Learned and Godly mens workes and the Scriptures also declare as much that yee Fruittrees can speake and discourse with men though not with an articulate distinct voice and sound of words to the outward sence of hearing for that is proper only to rationall Creatvres Yet it is knowne yee can speake very intelligibly and convincingly to the minds and consciences of men And can Answere their Questions and speak many things to their profit and edification And that yee alwaies speake the very truth and to the glory and praise of God What Language is it that yee speake is it English or Latin Greek or Hebrew or what other Language else wherein yee discourse with men The Language of Fruittrees FRVIT-TREES We can speake all Languages We can discourse with any People or Nation in any Language whatsoever according as people please to discourse with us so we Answer them every man in his owne Language HVSBANDMAN We in this Countrey are Natives of England we will therefore speake together in our English Tongue for that we best understand Tell me then first of all Of what age are yee of what duration I speake not of these individuall Trees here Planted but of Fruittrees in generall How Long have yee been in the world The Age of Fruittrees FRVITTREES We are of a very Great Age even from the beginning of the Creation which is now according to common computation 5676. yeares or thereabouts This thou maist understand by a Token that much concernes the For we were present stood by when thou and thy wife did both of you transgresse the Command of our Creator in the Garden of Eden in that yee did eate of the Forbidden Fruit Thou had'st liberty enough given thee which was to Eate of all our Fruits throughout the whole Garden Except only of one Tree to try thy Obedience and that as freely as thou wouldest why then didst thou breake the command of God which we never yet did nor ever shall though we are much inferior to mankind Mans fall Restoring and Establishing HVSBANDMAN Herein yee speake the truth and convincingly indeed for so it was which we must acknowledge to God and be humbled for it for it was a very great transgression we lost our glory and our Happiness by it but blessed be God for ever for his free Grace he hath shewed us a meanes and way of recovery to our former state of happinesse which he did not to the Angels that sinned but a little while before us God never spake one kind word to them since nor ever will O the justice and mercy of God towards them justice but towards us Mercy and free Grace in our restoring even all that he hath chosen Yea God hath not only restored and recovered us out of our fallen state but also hath so confirmed us in it as that now we can never fall from it any more as we then did But this is a Gloriouse mistery discovered to us in the word of the Gospell of Christ wherein yee have no skill neither can yee speake as to that matter Section 2. Sympathy and Antipathy in Vegetables HVSBANDMAN It hath been asserted by Learned men That there is a sympathy and Antipathy in Plants Trees and all Vegetables some kinds will not thrive together which they impute to Antipathy and some other kinds flourish and prosper vigorously growing together which they call Sympathy or a good agreement one with another What say yee of your selves as to this matter Sympathy and Antipathy of Plants duly stated We owne the Notion if it be but rightly understood and applyed for there is such a contrariety and heterogeneous quality in some trees and other Vegetables as men speake of And also a likenesse and agreement in Nature in some others But it hath been much mistaken by some writers who have said That there is an Antipathy betweene some Plants as the Vine and the Colewort because they will not thrive together but that is not an Antipathy but rather a Sympathy Lord Baron's Nat Hist pa 101. Exp 480. Because wee Vines love the same fatt and fertill soyle as the Colewort does and thence it is that wee turne our Rootes from it because it hath exhausted the soile and made it barren But there is a real Antipathy in Nature between some trees which are of Different species therefore they will never thrive together when joyned in Grafting As the Apple-tree grafted upon a Peerestock and so on the contrary Also the Plum on the Cherry and the Cherry on the Plum They may grow 2. or 3. yeares but will never thrive to perfection there is an Antipathy in Nature and they reject each other And therefore let men in grafting observe right species and kinds in joyning us together else no profit will accrue to the Husbandman Likenesse of Natures accord best
