A _Berry_, as a _Gooseberry_ (to which _Currans_, _Grapes_, _Hipps_, &c. are to be referr’d) consisteth, besides the _Seed_, of the three general Parts, _Pill_, _Parenchyma_ and _Branchery_: The _Pill_ is originated as in the foregoing Fruits. The _Parenchyma_ is double, as likewise in some other _Berries_: The _outer_ is commonly, together with the _Pill_, call’d the _Skin_, and is that part we spit out, being of a soure taste. As the _Pill_ is originated from the _outer_, so this from the _inner part_ of the _Barque_; and accordingly the Pores thereof may be observed plainly of a like shape with those both of the _Cortical Body_ and _Pith_. The _inner_ is of a sweet taste, and is the part we eat: It is of a constitution so laxe and tender, as it would seem to be only a thicker or jellied Juice; although this likewise be a true _Parenchyma_, something like that of an _Orange_ or _Limon_, with its Pores all fill’d up with Liquor. The _Branchery_ is likewise double: The _Exterior_ runs betwixt the _Pill_ and outer _Parenchyma_ in arched Lines, from the _Stalk_ to the _Stool_ of the _Flower_. These outer Branches, though of various number at the _Stalk_, yet at the _Cork_ are usually ten principal ones; five for the five Leaves of the _Flower_, and five for the _Chives_. The inner main Branches are two, diametrically opposite to each other, and at the _Cork_ with the other inosculated. From these two are branched other smaller, every one having a _Seed_ appendent to it, whose Coats it entreth by a double Filament, one at the _Basis_, the other at the _Cone_. They are all very white and turgent; and by a slaunt cut, may be observ’d concave; thus representing themselves analogous to so many true _spermatick Vessels_. The Uses of _Fruits_ are for _Man_, (sometimes also other _Animals_, as are _Akerns_ and _Haws_) and for the _Seed_. For Man, they are so variously desirable, that till our Orchards and Store-Chambers, _Confectioners_ Stores and _Apothecaries_ Shops, our Ladies Closets, their Tables or Hands are empty of them, I shall not need to enquire for what. If it be asked, how the Fruit becomes, generally above all the other Parts, so pleasant a Meat? It is partly from the _Sap_, the grosser portion thereof being deposited in the Leaves, and so the purer hereunto reserved; partly from the Globular Figure of the Fruit; for the _Sap_ being thus in a greater quantity herein, and in all parts equally diffus’d, the Concoction hereof is with greatest advantage favoured and promoted. Wherefore all Fruits which we eat raw, how small soever, are of a Globular form, or thereunto approaching; and the nearer, the delicater; amongst _apples_, the _Peppin_; amongst _Pears_, the _Burgundian_; and amongst all Fruits, the _Grape_; and amongst _Grapes_, the roundest, are of all the most dainty.
