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
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
