commonly attributed to great Frosts sharp Winds uncouth Seasons Blasts and Blithes from unwholsom Air and such like External Accidents But I conceive the true Reason is more natural constant and settled and being once known might without much difficulty be remedied from things known we by an equality of Reason may probably guess at like things tho' unknown Now methinks in the Husbandry of Corn we have every day Instances very probable to this of Trees only what is constantly practised in one Case is not regarded in the other It is a Rule in Husbandry not to sow one sort of Grain or Corn two three or four years on one piece of Ground For Example Break up Ground if it be good strong loomy Earth they will sow Beans if weaker or light Oats after the Beans or Oats Wheat after Wheat Barly after Barly Peas or Rye But if the Land be dunged every year or e-every other year then you may sow Barly or Wheat Beans or Peas two years together because the fresh dunging of it does add or strengthen the Salniteral Properties or Virtues which was much spent or weakned or drawn forth by the former years Crop Nor does any discreet Husbandman expect a good Crop of any Grain if he sows it several years together on the same Field except he dung it nor will that do if he persist in sowing one and the same sort two three or four years one after another for the Dung cannot replenish such Land with a sufficient quantity of that Natural Salniteral Virtue Fat or Juices that is proper for the Nourishment and Augmentation of the same kind of Grain so often repeated Thus 't is plain that each sort of Grain and consequently every other Vegitation of what Species soever it be does by Simile attract and draw unto its self out of the Bowels of the adjacent Ground wherein they grow such a particular Nutrative Virtue or Juice as is proper and natural for the Nourishment and Propagation of its own Body And tho' every sort of Corn and other things has and is indued with all the sevenfold Forms and Properties of Nature yet in each thing there is some one quality or property that is chief or most predominant and which does draw from the Earth what is agreeable to its self and so leaves the contigious Ground barren or poor as to the particular Juice tho' yet still by a general Salniteral fatness may be in very good heart strong and apt to produce Vegitations of another kind if one and the same Corn be continued it will prove thin poor weak and dwindling answering neither the Hope nor Charge and Toyl of the Husbandman but if another Corn tho' such as naturally requires a richer Mould then the other be sowed there it shall flourish nay tho' you dung your Land frequently yet if you sow the same Grain more than one year if the Season prove not extream kind such Corn will be apt to fail and come to little as often happens near London where they dung their Ground much because they till it every year and many times twice a year So that if Husbandmen should continue one sort of Grain for several years together on the same Land there would be as great or greater Scarcity and Want of Corn as there happens to be of Apples and other Fruits For what we have observed in the Tilling and Manuring Land for Corn and the method of making the Ground constantly fruitful by changing the Species of the Grain committed to it holds good as to the former part in all kind of Fruit-Trees but the same method as to the latter part for the Remedy cannot be observed in the management of them as in Land for Corn and therefore they often miss and much the oftner for not being so well ordered and manured as they might and ought to be In Husbandry you change your Grain and often dung your Land whereby it is in some measure furnisht with a Recruit of every sort of Juice but Trees cannot be every year or two transplanted out of one Ground into another nay scarce at all when they grow big but are commonly continued thirty forty or sixty years or more in the self same Place or Ground Now Trees being generally planted near together which by the way is a very great Error in planting of Orchards robbing each other not only of nourishment from above and being of great Bulk and Substance large Roots and spreading Branches they must needs require great store and quantity of Nourishment to support their Life Growth and Fruit even much more then most sorts of Earth can administer for every Tree doth powerfully draw forth of the Earth such a Salniteral Virtue or Juice as is proper to Maintain and Nourish its own Body which no Earth can continually afford except it be much helped by Art for as we have shewed in the Management of Land for Corn so the Ground where Fruit-Trees grow will in process of time become poor sour and hungry as to the Virtue that is proper for the Nourishment and Support of Trees and therefore they are not able to bring forth or bear Fruit every year The very same Inconveniences would happen to Corn if the Land were not often dunged limed or the like and the Grain changed frequently therefore the principal Cause why fruit-Fruit-Trees do so often blight or miss bearing is not so much from External cold sharp Airs tho' they may sometimes do mischief or at least help forward the evil as Internally for want of sufficicient Nourishment for if Land cannot bring forth good Crops for several years one after another of the same Corn which is inconsiderable as to Substance and Bulk in respect of Fruit-Trees how then can it be expected that an Orchard should bear plentifully every year where there is neither Change nor Tillage nor Dunging it may be for the space of thirty or forty years and many times the Trees planted too thick that the Sun Beams can hardly Influence the Earth 'T is true some Trees will bear every year others every other and some every third year according to the Nature of the Earth and Fruit for that year or two that they bear not is as it were a Sabbath unto the Earth and Trees or like Land when it lies fallow in which time they get heat and replenish themselves with strength and virtue which inward virtue does withstand all sharp and pinching keen Airs that they hurt not for if the Internal Salniteral Virtue or Radical Moisture be strong whence all Vegitations hath its vigorous Birth then there is little or no danger of Outward Accidents but on the contrary when the Inward Oyl and Nourishing Juices are weak and impotent then every Outward small Accident as Frosts cold sharp Winds and the like do take place and help forward the Evil. The like is to be understood in the Human Nature and Animal Kingdom If a man be of a crasie impotent Constitution or Nature

THO' I have no other Design in respect of Brewers then only to save them a great deal of Pains and no small part of their daily Charge and towards the rest of Mankind but an honest and most charitable Intention of Advertizing them what may conduce both to the Health of their Bodies Tranquility of their Minds and Advantage of their Estates yet I am not so Ignorant of the Worlds common usage as not to expect that offering to Disswade from certain inveteral but mischievous Customs I am like to meet with no less than Hate or Reproach or at least Scorn and Contempt from the greatest part of those whose welfare I would gladly promote However as the Conscience of my own Innocence and certain Experience and Knowledge of the Truth of what I Recommend will be a sufficient Buckler against all the Darts of Envy Ingratitude Noise and Folly So I do not Despair but this small Treatise may have the happiness to meet with some few so little wedded to Tradition and their own Humours as to be willing to hearken to the Dictates of Wisdom Reason and Nature wherever they meet them or though communicated in an homely manner by a very weak and imperfect Instrument Methinks there should scarce be any man that hath ever entertained his Thoughts for one half hour in a serious Consideration of his own Structure and how and by what Natural means he doth subsist in this World but must have taken notice that as the Substance of our Bodies suffers a daily Expence Decay or Wasting as well by the action of our own innate or inbread heat prespiration of Spirits and the more pure parts of the Humours thorow the pores of the Skin impressions of the Ambient Air as by the common and more gross Evacuations so there is required a daily supply of Nourishment to repair and make good whatsoever is thus spent of the Store which is provided to support and preserve the Microcosm To this End as outwardly the All-wise and most Bountiful Creator has prepared variety of excellent Foods and Liquors so inwardly he has both given us Reason Wisdom and Knowledge if we will hearken to and exert it to distinguish which of them are at all times best and most requisite for us as also fixed the Members and Organs of our Bodies in their several places and offices to be assisting and subservient to each other in order to the effecting of this admirable Work Of these the Stomach is the first and principal Agent which as it were a Kitchin serves to dress and prepare all Meats that are brought into it and by its Concocting Faculty reduses them into a white milky Substance which is called Chyle which passing thence throughout the lower Orifice of the Stomach into the Intrails having there but a slow passage by reason of many turnings and windings by which the Guts are mutually inclosed and united to the Mesentery it is further digested and seperated and the purer part by the Mesoraick Veins called the Hands of the Liver is thorough the Veins from the Office called Vena Porta carried into the hollow parts of the Liver whereby a higher and more elaborate Concoction is turned into that admirable Balsamick Liquor called Blood This Blood passes from thence into the Vena Cava or great hollow Vein whose Trunk divides it self into two large Branches the one tending downwards to carry blood to the lower parts the other upwards and mounteth even to the Throat dividing again by the way into other Branches one of which fasteneth it self to the right Ventricle of the Heart by which the blood is brought thither from the Liver where being yet higher elaborated and inriched 't is transmuted or carried over to the left Ventricle where the Arteries takes their original which contains the Vital Blood and Spirits whose Office it is to enliven and exercise the Faculties of the Body By other Branches it ariseth into the Brain where the Animal Spirits are made being the Seat of Phansie Reason Judgment and Memory which noble Faculties by those Spirits are exercised as also of all Sense and Motion for from the Brain are all the Nerves or Sinews divided into all the parts which cause a

three hours but if it be for present drinking then Balm or any other good Herb After this add to every Gallon two or three pound of Treakle or two or three pound of Sugar or Hony but if you would have it very strong then add more sweetning then take some Yest or Barm and put it a working as you do Beer or Ale The same method you may observe in all other Fruits as Goosberries Currans and the like This sort of Drink or Wine is to be preferred before that which is made of the whole Juice especially if your Sugar be good it drinks finer and is lighter on the Stomach and more warm not so apt to send fumes into the Head and will digest any sort of Food much better than that which is commonly made There is another way of making this sort of Drink viz. Take good Water and make it scalding hot put it into your Mash-tub to your bruised Fruits and let them infuse one hour then draw it off infuse your Herbs or Seeds in it if they be bitter half an hour if not then an hour then put it a cooling as you do Wort and then put your Sugar Treakle or Hony what quantity you think fit or as you would have it in strength then add some Yest stir it well together and it will firment or work and so barrel it but cold Water from the Fountain is to be preferred before hot and is much a brisker Wine These are easie cheap familiar ways and makes most excellent Drink If your Fruits be of your own Growth it will then stand you but in a small matter very little more than ordinary Beer and be much stronger This sort of Drink every poor man may have and indeed it is a better and more wholsomer Drink or Wine then the common sort made by pressing for Water is the Homogenial Menstrum in the World and most familiar to Human Nature and by this way of Operation it mildly and sweetly draws forth all the good Virtues of the Fruit without force and violence and leaves the harsh bitter astringency of the Stones and Skins behind whereas pressing doth by its violence force forth the bitter harshness both of the Stones and Skins and is very hurtful as is clearly seen in Syder and Wine for the Stones and Skins are of a harsh bitter astringent Nature and Operation for hard bruising and violent pressing of tender Fruits do not only extract and force forth the harshness of the Stones and Skins but it does as it were suffocate or dismay the fine lively spirituous qualities which your Sense of Tasting will tell you Taste the Fruit before it be bruised or pressed and then the Juice that proceedeth from them the Juice drawn out by our mouth is fine brisk and penetrating but the Juices pressed out are dull heavy and gross to the Palate and Stomach The same is manifest in the Juices pressed out of green Herbs for Example Take what sort or sorts of Sallad Herbs bruise them to mash then take them and dish them into a Sallad and they will be so gross dull heavy and fulsom to both Palate and Stomach but those same Herbs that are dished up into a Sallad which are not bruised will be moist pleasant and grateful Now here you see that this hard bruising and pressing hath as it were wholly destroyed the brisk lively Virtues and indeed all that is desirable or delightful both to the Senses as well as to the Stomach Note that the forementioned Drinks that are made of Water Herbs Fruit Sugar Treakle or Hony are best with cold Water as I have told you before especially in hot Countries for fiered Drinks are no Friends to Nature except wisely handled therefore the Natives of those Climates where they drink Water are not known to have the Stone and where their Foods are simple which all wise men ought to consider Lastly Note that all sorts of Syder would keep much better and be far wholsomer especially for ancient People and such are more or less subject to the Stone or Gravel if when it is new made you infused in part of it some bitter Herbs gathered and prepared as we have taught in our Way to Health viz. Wormwood Hops Cardis Centuary Sage Betiny Dandelion or the like for the bitter quality does naturally hold the sweet Body and Volatile Spirits as it were captive for Mars loves Venus also bitterness does mightily withstand and moderate the keen astringent hard harsh properties that they cannot advance nor devour the sweet mild qualities for this cause all bitter Herbs do preserve all sorts of Drinks and keep them from sharp hardness and astringency longer then otherwise they would Besides they are wholsom pleasant and healthful when People are used to them Also good store of such Herbs whose predominant quality stands in bitterness ought to be infused in all Drinks made of Sugar Mallas Treakle or Hony because such Liquors or Drinks tends to a sharp keneness sooner then Drinks made of Mault which our English and others ought to consider that inhabits the West-Indies and other hot Climates where they frequently make various sorts of Drinks with Sugar Mallas and Fruits and where also they are terribly afflicted with the Stone Gout and Gravel viz. which all or most Drinks made of Sugar or Mallas are apt to generate for the highest Sweets when firmented either in Liquors or in the Stomach quickly tends to the highest sharpness and keen harshness especially in some Constitutions if the sweet quality be not some degrees alaid or captivated by the bitter which do also moderate or withstand the astringent band Having had Experience and certain Knowledge of the Virtues of these Preparations I thought it my Duty to Communicate to the World for the benefit of such as shall please to make use of them and for such as scorn and deride them they shall though they slight my poor Advice injoy my Cordial Pity AN APPENDIX SHEWING The Natural Causes why fruit-Fruit-Trees do so frequently fail Bearing and Offering Expediments to make Orchards almost constantly fruitful With a new Experiment of preserving of Eggs sweet and good for several Months HAving in our other Writings occasionally discoursed of Syder and how advantagiously the same might be made especially to Farmers and poor Country People I shall here take leave to add a few Considerations touching Fruit-Trees 'T is certain that planting of Orchards as it is a thing of great Delight and but of little Labour and that most Natural and Agreeable unto the first Commandment of our Creator so it might be as Profitable an Imployment of Ground as any whatsoever The only thing I conceive that discourages many People is That Fruit-Trees especially old planted seldom brings any considerable Crop for if they bear full one year its odds but the next they miss nay often till the third and fourth year after they yield not any considerable quantity of Fruit the Reason of which is

then every cold Air or little Accident will wound his Health or if any particular Member or Limb be weakned or disordered that same Part upon any Outward Heat or Cold or other Accident will suck in the Injury and be easily made more weak and impotent which does hold good in all things whether Vegitations or Animals according to the Nature of each for this Cause it often happens when we have very warm mild Springs little or no Frosts or sharp Easterly winds which of all are esteemed the most pernicious to fruit that there is but little Fruit the following Summer On the contrary other years when there happens cold North and North-East winds and severe Frosts great store of most sorts of Fruits the truth of this every Country man does know and yet for all this all their cry is All our Fruit is blasted in one frosty cold Night or a sharp Wind never so much as considering that other years they have had great store of all sorts of Fruit and yet far colder and sharper Springs but most People do in this as they do by themselves every Disorder that happens to them they attribute to outward Cold and Accident that comes that way and hardly think of the inward Causes Intemperances and other Violences they offer to Nature whence most or all Obstructions does arise and proceed as we have largely demonstrated in our other Writings The truth of what we have before declared is further manifested by this viz. if you cut down an old Orchard and cleanse the Ground as well as you can from the Roots and then plant young Trees in the old ones places neither the one nor the other will thrive nor come to any Maturity but are very Scrubs and often dye and come to nothing at least not thrive or grow so much in ten years as those in new Ground will in three or four the chief Reason thereof is because the Ground in which old Orchards stood is as it were destitute of or contain very little of that Radical Juices or Salniteral Virtues that is proper for the Nourishment of such Fruit-Trees since the foregoing Trees but all new ground especially such as is proper for Fruit-Trees does abound and is impregnated with that Salniteral Juice and Virtue as is clear by the thriving and proving of Trees there planted Moreover most or all old Orchards the Boughs Limbs and Branches of the Trees are covered with a certain Moss of a dry husky harsh astringent Substance which does arise for want of a proper quantity of Nourishment that stops the Passages and Pores hindering the true Circulation of the Radical Moisture and then the Essential Juices becomes tough and as it were stagnated which presently destroys the lively Complexion and Beauty of that thing and whensoever this happens in Trees presently a mossy Scurf grows on the Limbs and Boughs like unto Scurf or a mangy Disease in Animals for when the Ground by the long standing of Trees grows poor hungry and barren as to the virtue that Trees delight in then that Nourishment that they do draw forth is not good neither doth it generate good Juices and the Trees begins to Languish and become Consumptive which is the true Cause of Moss Cankers Blithes and the like and yet that same Ground if Manured for other things as Beans Peas and the like will bear great Crops for it was rich enough in that Salniteral quality that was proper and natural for the Nourishment of such Grain but poor and out of heart in respect of Trees but if you cut down an old Orchard and Manure the Ground for various sorts of Corn and Dung it as other Land for eight or twelve years the longer the better then plant a young Orchard the Trees will thrive pretty well for in this time the Earth hath recovered and strengthened the weak and fading Salniteral virtues proper for Trees but not so strong and vigorous as that Ground that never had Fruit-Trees planted in it But here some will Object Why should not Fruit-Trees thrive and bear without manuring and dunging as well as other Trees viz. Oaks Elms Hazels and the like which will grow in one sort of Ground without any dunging or manuring for many score years I Answer 'T is to be understood that all such Ground in which Oaks Hazels and the like grow is principally indued with such a quality as is proper to bring forth and nourish such Trees and consists chiefly thereof and therefore such Woods will grow naturally there without planting as well as without manuring So all good Ground will always bring forth Grass more or less as the Season is kind or the contrary But our Apples Pears and most fort of Wall-fruit does not so naturally grow in our Climate any more then several sorts of our Garden Herbs which both Trees and Herbs are all managed by Art and great Industry or else they will dwindle away and come to nothing tho' Field Herbs are plenty enough naturally so that every thing must be managed according to its kind and there is no parity between Fruit-Trees and other common Trees both for the Reason just now given as especially because the latter does not bare any Annual Crop as the former but if the Trunk and Branches live and grow it 's enough whereas you expect much more from your Orchards and therefore must be at more pains with it Sometimes you shall see in the Spring a Tree bravely blossomed and yet at Autumn no Fruit the Reason is commonly ascribed to Blasting or Frosts but I believe it may most times be referred to the Cause before-mentioned for in the early Spring the Sun giving every thing vigor the Soyl made shift to supply the Tree with Radical Moisture enough to make that show but not being able to continue its Recruits the poor Tree could not perform its Promise nor Nature accomplish its Intentions But you 'l say What Remedy for all this Can you shew a Natural way to keep and render Trees capable of bearing every year or for the most part I Answer you and it is thus Digg three four five or six yards about each Tree to the Root carry away most of the Earth and supply the place with fresh Earth mixed with a little Dung alike quantity to which you carried away and this you ought to do every three four or five years or as often as the Farmer dungs his Land for Corn which will give such Life Power and Virtue to your Trees that you need not much doubt of a Crop every year or at leastwise it will seldom miss and your Fruit will be large and fair but if this be too much trouble and charge then digg or trench your Orchard and Dung it well once in two three or four years which may serve indifferent well The very same management ought to be observed in all sorts of Wall-Fruit-Trees and others It is also to be noted That when you plant Orchards or Walls in
