Wherein the particular parts of the _Attire_ may be more distinctly serviceable, this to one Animal, and that to another, I cannot say: Or to the same Animal, as a _Bee_, whether this for the _Honey_, another for their _Bread_, a third for the _Wax_: Or whether all only suck from hence some _Juice_; or some may not also carry some of the Parts, as of the _Globulets_, wholly away: Or lastly, what may be the primary and private use of the _attire_ (for even this abovesaid; though great, yet is but secondary) I now determine not. CHAP. VI. _Of the Fruit._ The general composition of all _Fruits_ is one, that is, their _Essential_ and truly _Vital Parts_, are in all the same, and but the continuation of those which in the other Parts of a _Vegetable_, we have already observed: Yet because by the different Constitutions and Tinctures of these Parts, divers considerably different Fruits result; I shall therefore take a particular view of the more known and principal of them, _sc._ _Apples_, _Pears_, _Plums_, _Nuts_ and _Berries_. An _Apple_, if cut traverse, appears constituted of four distinct Parts, the _Pill_, the _Parenchyma_, _Branchery_ and _Coare_. The _Pill_ is only the spreading and dilatation of the skin, or utmost part of the Barque in the Branch. The _Parenchyma_, when full ripe, is a tender delicate Meat: Yet as the _Pill_ is but the continuation of the utmost part of the _Barque_; so is this but the continuance and ampliation, or (as I may call it) the swelth and superbience of the _Inner part_ thereof; which upon observation of a young and Infant-_Apple_ especially, is evident. Thus we see the _Pith_, which is often tough, in many Roots, as _Parsneps_, _Turneps_, &c. is tender and edible. So here, the _Parenchyma_, though originally no more than the _Barque_, yet the plenty and purity of its _Sap_ being likewise effectual to the fulness and fineness of its growth, it thus becomes a soft and tender meat. The _Branchery_ is nothing else but the Ramifications of the _Lignous Body_ throughout all the parts of the _Parenchyma_; the greater Branches being likewise by the _Inosculations_ of the less (as in the Leaf) united together. The main Branches are usually fifteen; ten are spred and distributed through the _Parenchyma_, all enarching themselves towards the _Cork_ or _Stool_ of the _Flower_; the other five running from the _Stalk_ in a directer Line, at last meet the former at the said _Cork_, and are there osculated with them. These five are originated from one; which running along the Center of the _Stalk_, and part of the _Parenchyma_ of the _Fruit_, is therein at last divided. To these the Coats of the _Kernels_ are fastned; so that whereas these Branches were originally all extended even beyond the _Fruit_, and inserted into the _Flower_ for the due growth thereof; the _Fruit_ afterwards growing to some head, and so intercepting and preying upon the Aliment of the
