Yet the outer Coat, being on the contrary hard and dense; for that reason, as it admitteth not the Fermentation of the _Sap_ so well within it self; so doth it the more promote and favour it in the Inner, being Bounds both to it and its _Sap_; and also quickneth the process of the whole Work in the formation of the _Seed_. Nor doth the outer Coat, for the same reason, more promote than declare the purity of the _Sap_ now contained in the Inner: For being more hard and dense, and so not perspirable, must needs suppose the Parts of the _Sap_ encompassed by it, since thus uncapable of any evacuation, to be therefore all, so choice, as not to need it. The _Sap_ being thus prepared in the inner Coat, as a Liquor now apt to be the _Substratum_ of the future _Seed-Embrio_, by fresh supplies, is thence discharged; yet that it may not be over-copious; which, because of the laxity of the Inner Coat from whence it issues, it might easily be; therefore as the said inner Coat is bounded without by the upper Coat, so by the _Secondine_ or _Membrane_ is it bounded within; through which _Membrane_ the _Sap_ being filtr’d, or, as it were, transpiring, the depositure hereof, answerable to the _Colliquamentum_ in an Egg, or to the _semen Mulibre_, into its Concave at last is made. The other Part of the purest _sap_ embosom’d in the Ramulets of the _seed-Branch_, runs a Circle, or some progress therein; and so becomes, as the _Semen Masculinum_, yet more elaborate. Wherein also, lest its Current should be too copious or precipitate, by their co-arcture and divarication where they are inosculated, it is retarded; the noblest portion only obtaining a pass. With this purest _sap_, the said _Ramulets_ being supplied, from thence at last, the _Navel-Fibres_ shoot (as the privitive _Artery_ into the _Colliquamentum_) through the _Secondine_ into the aforesaid Liquor deposited therein. Into which Liquor, being now shot, and its own proper Sap or Tinctures mixed therewith, it strikes it thus into a _Coagulum_; or, of a Liquor, it becomes a Body consistent and truly _Parenchymous_; and the supply of the said Liquor still continu’d, and the shooting of the Navel-Fibres, as is above described, still carried on, and therewith the said _Coagulation_ or _Fixation_ likewise. And in the Interim of the _Coagulation_, a gentle _Fermentation_ being also made, the said _Parenchyma_ or _Coagulum_ becometh such, not of any Constitution indifferently, but is thus raised (as we see Bread in Baking) into a _Congeries_ of _Fixed Bubbles_: For such is the _Parenchyma_ of the whole Seed.
