_Flower_, starves that, and therefrom supersedes the service of the said Branches to it self, ten for its _Parenchyma_, and five for its _Seed_. The _Coar_ is originated from the _Pith_; for the _Sap_ finding room enough in the _Parenchyma_, through which to dispence it self all abroad, quits the _Pith_, which thereby hardens into a _Coar_. Thus we see the _Insertions_, although originate from the _Cortical Body_, yet their Parts being, by the _Inosculations_ of the _Lignous_, so much compress’d and made to co-incide together, they become a Body very compact and dense. And in the _Barque_ we see the same effect by _arefaction_ only, or a meer _voydance_ of the _Sap_; the _Inner Part_ whereof, though soft and sappy, yet its superficial _Rind_ is often so hard and smooth, that it may be fairly writ upon. In a _Pear_ there are five distinct Parts, the _Pill_, the _Parenchyma_, _Branchery_, _Calculary_ and _Acetary_. The three former are here and in an _Apple_ much alike; saving that here the _Inner_ or _Seed-Branches_ are ordinarily ten. The _Calculary_ (most observable in rough-tasted, or _Choak-Pears_) is a _congeries_ of little stony Knots: They are many of them dispersed throughout the whole _Parenchyma_; but lying more continuous and compact together towards the Center of the _Pear_, surround the _Acetary_ there in a somewhat Globular Form. About the _Stalk_ they stand more distant; but towards the _Cork_ or _Stool_ of the _Flower_, they still grow closer, and there at last gather (almost) into the firmitude of a _Plum-stone_ it self. Within this lies the _Acetary_; ’tis of a soure tast, and by the bounding of the _Calculary_ of a _Globular Figure_. ’Tis a simple Body, having neither any of the _Lignous_ branched in it, nor any Knots. It is of the same substantial nature with the _Parenchyma_; but whether it be absolutely one with it, or be derived immediately from the _Pith_, my Enquiries yet made, determine not.
