i_o to_o have_v exact_o the_o same_o colour_n taste_v and_o consistence_n both_o in_o the_o wood_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o the_o stalk_v both_o of_o the_o leave_n and_o fruit_n that_o it_o have_v in_o the_o fruit_n itself_o whilst_o it_o be_v yet_o green_a for_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v ripe_a and_o fit_a for_o gather_v there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o sign_n to_o be_v perceive_v of_o that_o white_a sap_n with_o which_o it_o be_v so_o plentiful_o impregnate_v before_o it_o be_v come_v to_o maturity_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v very_o well_o advance_v this_o general_a conclusion_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o material_a difference_n between_o that_o sap_n which_o go_v to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o fruit_n and_o that_o which_o enter_v into_o the_o composition_n of_o all_o the_o

admit_v the_o sap_n for_o fruit_n to_o be_v endue_v with_o some_o particular_a degree_n of_o perfection_n beyond_o what_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o sap_n of_o the_o tree_n yet_o what_o do_v they_o think_v become_v of_o it_o when_o the_o fruit_n which_o it_o be_v design_v to_o have_v form_v and_o nourish_v chance_v to_o perish_v as_o oftentimes_o it_o do_v even_o in_o the_o embryo_n or_o at_o least_o before_o it_o come_v to_o perfection_n in_o this_o case_n it_o must_v certain_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sap_n and_o be_v equal_o employ_v with_o it_o in_o the_o

fruit_n plentiful_o which_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n i_o ever_o have_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o different_a proportion_n of_o the_o sap_n the_o small_a quantity_n whereof_o cause_n

repeat_v so_o often_o viz._n that_o the_o fruit_n grow_v at_o the_o top_n of_o the_o weak_a branch_n but_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o strong_a whence_o it_o appear_v that_o no_o part_n of_o the_o

most_v load_v with_o fruit_n and_o particular_o towards_o the_o extremity_n put_v we_o off_o with_o this_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o better_a concoction_n and_o refine_n of_o the_o sap_n

of_o those_o who_o from_o the_o generation_n of_o animal_n argue_v concern_v the_o production_n of_o fruit_n there_o be_v some_o as_o i_o have_v former_o observe_v in_o my_o treatise_n of_o prune_v who_o treat_v of_o the_o production_n of_o fruit_n proceed_v the_o same_o way_n they_o do_v in_o their_o consideration_n about_o the_o generation_n of_o animal_n animal_n say_v they_o do_v not_o

it_o will_v hence_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v never_o capable_a of_o bear_v fruit_n but_o when_o they_o be_v in_o their_o full_a strength_n and_o vigour_n it_o be_v absurd_a to_o make_v the_o

something_o in_o my_o own_o defence_n i_o may_v well_o say_v and_o now_o i_o say_v it_o again_o that_o blossom_n and_o fruit_n on_o tree_n be_v sign_n of_o their_o weakness_n or_o that_o they_o have_v but_o little_a sap_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o great_a number_n of_o fair_a branch_n without_o fruit_n be_v of_o the_o vigour_n or_o of_o the_o abound_a quantity_n of_o their_o sap._n for_o i_o
