The Mastick is a tree very tall, but the body slender, and therefore Nature hath provided means to support her; for, she has spurs or brackets above seven foot from the ground, which are fixt or engrafted in the body; and some of the spurs reach out from the tree to the root, so broad, as that tables have been made of a round form, above three foot and a halfe diameter. Some trees have two, some three of these spurrs. This tree has commonly a double top, one side being somewhat higher then the other. The fruit is like none of the rest, ’tis of a stammell colour, and has neither skin nor stone; but it is more like a Cancre then a Fruit, and is accounted unwholsom, and therefore no man tastes it: ’tis, I believe, the seed of the tree, for we see none other. The leaves of this tree grow of such a height, as till they fall down, we can give no judgment of them. The timber of this tree is rank’d amongst the fourth sort, three being better then it. I have seen the bodies of these trees neer sixty foot high. [Sidenote: _Bully._] The Bully tree is lesse then the Mastick, and bears a fruit like a Bullis in _England_; her body streight, and well shap’t; her branches proportionable, her timber excellent and lasting. [Sidenote: _Redwood._] Redwood is a handsome tree, but not so loftie as the Mastick, excellent timber to work, for it is not so hard as some others, which is the cause they seldome break their tooles in working it, and that is the reason the work-men commend it above others. ’Tis a midling tree for sise, the body about two foot and a halfe diameter. [Sidenote: _Prickled yellow-wood._] This is accounted as good as the Red-wood in all respects, and is a strong and lasting timber, good for building, and for all uses within doors. [Sidenote: _Iron wood._] Iron wood is called so, for the extream hardnesse; and with that hardnesse it has such a heavinesse, as they seldome use it in building; besides, the workmen complain that it breaks all their tools. ’Tis good for any use without doores, for neither Sun nor rain can any waies mollifie it. ’Tis much used for Coggs to the Rollers. [Sidenote: _Lignum vitæ._] _Lignum vitæ_ they use now and then for the same purpose, when the other is away; but having no bowling in that Country, little is used: They send it commonly for _England_, where we employ it to severall uses; as, for making Bowles, Cabinets, Tables, and Tablemen.
