above_o my_o reach_n and_o in_o which_o i_o have_v no_o insight_n it_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o observe_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o moon_n but_o as_o to_o the_o prune_v of_o tree_n and_o whatever_o

it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v very_o good_a to_o prune_v at_o the_o end_n of_o february_n and_o at_o the_o beginning_n crescentius_n of_o march_n which_o be_v common_o time_n of_o decrease_v but_o it_o be_v likewise_o as_o true_a that_o without_o mind_v the_o moon_n one_o may_v begin_v to_o prune_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v fall_v that_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o

three_o sort_n of_o tree_n to_o prune_v the_o one_o too_o weak_a the_o other_o too_o vigorous_a and_o the_o other_o that_o be_v in_o as_o good_a a_o case_n as_o can_v be_v desire_v i_o be_o of_o

late_a for_o example_n i_o be_o sufficient_o persuade_v that_o the_o weak_a and_o more_o languish_v a_o tree_n be_v the_o soon_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v prune_v to_o take_v from_o it_o betimes_o

why_o the_o prune_v in_o november_n december_n and_o january_n be_v very_o good_a and_o wholesome_a in_o relation_n to_o these_o and_o even_o better_a than_o that_o of_o february_n and_o march._n

those_o that_o be_v desirous_a to_o see_v the_o certain_a proof_n of_o it_o may_v continue_v to_o read_v what_o follow_v as_o for_o those_o who_o be_v willing_a to_o rely_v upon_o my_o word_n and_o

wherein_o i_o explain_v the_o reason_n why_o prune_v be_v necessary_a to_o establish_v the_o two_o principle_n i_o have_v heretofore_o advance_v i_o make_v use_n of_o two_o comparison_n whereof_o the_o first_o which_o relate_v to_o the_o prune_v of_o weak_a tree_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o conduct_n of_o certain_a frugal_a miller_n who_o with_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o water_n find_v the_o mean_n to_o manage_v a_o mill_n that_o require_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o second_o which_o relate_v to_o the_o prune_v of_o very_o vigorous_a tree_n be_v take_v from_o other_o miller_n who_o know_v how_o dangerous_a great_a stream_n of_o rise_a water_n be_v to_o their_o mill_n for_o a_o time_n suffer_v the_o abundance_n of_o water_n which_o may_v annoy_v they_o to_o flow_v gentle_o by_o and_o the_o violence_n of_o it_o be_v over_o they_o shut_v their_o sluice_n or_o water-gate_n and_o afterward_o employ_v the_o remainder_n of_o their_o water_n according_a as_o may_v be_v expedient_a for_o the_o number_n of_o wheel_n they_o be_v to_o ply_v for_o the_o understanding_n of_o these_o two_o comparison_n i_o say_v that_o the_o sap_n in_o every_o tree_n appear_v to_o i_o to_o be_v partly_o the_o same_o as_o water_n be_v in_o every_o river_n i_o will_v say_v in_o another_o place_n what_o water_n be_v in_o the_o pipe_n of_o spout_a fountain_n whether_o river_n be_v large_a or_o small_a it_o be_v still_o certain_a that_o they_o be_v beautiful_a provide_v that_o the_o channel_n of_o each_o whatever_o it_o may_v be_v be_v common_o furnish_v with_o a_o quantity_n of_o water_n proportionable_a to_o it_o without_o which_o they_o be_v miserable_a and_o of_o no_o consideration_n so_o be_v a_o tree_n likewise_o esteem_v beautiful_a whatever_o size_n it_o be_v of_o there_o be_v both_o great_a and_o small_a provide_v that_o tree_n yearly_o produce_v sufficient_a fine_a shoot_n from_o all_o its_o part_n and_o in_o quantity_n proportionable_a to_o its_o present_a height_n and_o thickness_n or_o bulk_n without_o which_o a_o tree_n be_v certain_o both_o ugly_a and_o miserable_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o while_o a_o tree_n be_v in_o a_o good_a ground_n and_o well_o the_o wether_n not_o be_v so_o cold_a as_o to_o freeze_v the_o ground_n as_o far_o as_o the_o root_n for_o such_o a_o cold_a stop_v all_o manner_n of_o vegetation_n in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o extremity_n of_o the_o old_a root_n still_o produce_v other_o new_a one_o and_o consequent_o still_o produce_v a_o new_a sap_n as_o i_o prove_v in_o my_o reflection_n and_o so_o there_o perpetual_o rise_v a_o sap_n both_o into_o the_o stem_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o in_o all_o the_o branch_n which_o compose_v the_o head_n or_o top_n of_o it_o and_o this_o more_o or_o less_o in_o the_o whole_a extent_n of_o each_o according_a as_o the_o sap_n be_v in_o itself_o more_o or_o less_o abound_v just_a as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o river_n while_o the_o source_n be_v good_a and_o no_o way_n obstruct_v the_o water_n

water_n be_v in_o itself_o more_o or_o less_o abound_v when_o we_o find_v that_o a_o tree_n have_v but_o little_a vigour_n and_o produce_v no_o fine_a shoot_v or_o that_o have_v be_v vigorous_a the_o

a_o infallible_a mark_n either_o that_o the_o source_n of_o the_o sap_n be_v natural_o weak_a and_o small_a or_o that_o it_o be_v become_v so_o so_o that_o be_v no_o long_o capable_a of_o perform_v

to_o every_o one_o that_o consider_v that_o almost_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n be_v every_o day_n do_v in_o the_o use_n of_o common_a glue_n as_o to_o the_o second_o you_o need_v only_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o bark_n and_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o you_o will_v perceive_v in_o both_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o little_a gutter_n or_o channel_n which_o be_v separate_v from_o each_o other_o by_o as_o many_o little_a partition_n which_o serve_v to_o fasten_v the_o bark_n to_o the_o tree_n and_o to_o be_v passage_n for_o the_o sap_n to_o ascend_v up_o to_o the_o very_a top_n both_o to_o be_v a_o continual_a supply_n to_o all_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o to_o add_v new_a growth_n to_o such_o part_n as_o be_v capable_a of_o
