The _Sheath_, after some time, dividing at the top, from within its Concave, the third and innermost part of the _suit_, _sc._ the _Blade_ advanceth and displayes it self. This part is not hollow, as the other two, but solid; yet at its point, not originally, but after some time, is evermore divided into two halves. Upon the division of the said Point, there appears, as upon the opening of a _Semet_; a Powder of _Globulets_, which before lay enclosed up within its Clefts; and are of the same nature with those of a _Semet_, though not so copious: So that all _flowers_ have their _Powders_ or _Globulets_. The whole _Attire_ may in _Knapweed_, _Blewbottle_, &c. be observed. The use of the _Attire_, how contemptibly soever we may look upon it, is certainly great. And though for our own use we value the Leaves of the _Flower_, or the _Foliation_, most; yet of all the three Parts, this in some respects is the choycest, as for whose sake and service the other two are made. The use hereof, as to Ornament and Distinction, is unquestionable, but is not all. As for Distinction, though by the help of Glasses we may make it to extend far; yet in a passant view, which is all we usually make, we cannot so well. As for Ornament, and particularly in reference to the _Semets_, we may ask, If for that meerly these were meant, then why should they be so made as to break open, or to contain any thing within them? Since their Beauty would be as good as if they were not hollow, and is better before they crack and burst open, than afterwards. A farther use hereof therefore we must acknowledge, and may observe; and that is for food; for Ornament and Distinction to us, and for Food to other Animals. I will not say, but that it may serve even to these for Distinction too, that they may be able to know one Plant from another, and in their flight or progress settle where they like best; and that therefore the varieties of these small parts are many, and well observed by them, which we take no notice of: Yet the finding out of Food is but in order to enjoy it: Which, that it is provided for a vast number of little Animals in the _attires_ of all _Flowers_, observation perswades us to believe. For why else are they evermore here found? Go from one Flower to another, great and small, you shall meet with none untaken up with these Guests. In some, and particularly the _Sun-flower_, where the parts of the _Attire_, and the _animals_ for which they provide, are larger, the matter is more visible. We must not think, that God Almighty hath left any of the whole Family of his Creatures unprovided for; but as the Great Master, some where or other carveth out to all; and that for a great number of these little Folk, He hath stored up their peculiar provisions in the _Attires_ of _Flowers_; each _Flower_ thus becoming their Lodging and their Dining-Room, both in one.
