In the meantime, let us only take notice ; That when we uy, every Plant hathit s Root, we reckon hort. Forevery Plant hath lly two, though not contemporary, yet fucceflive Roots 5 its Op;ginalor Seminal-Root within the Lobes or Main Body of its Seeds and its Plaxt-Root, which the Radicle become chyma of the Seed, being in fome refemblthin its growth: the Parenance, that to the Serizal Root at firft, which the Mould is to the Plant-Root afterwards ; and Seminal Root being that to the Plant-Root, which the Plant-R oot 1s tothe Trunk, For our better underftanding whereof, having taken a view ofthe feveral Parts ofa Bean, as far as DifleGion condut We will next briefly enquire ts into the Ufe of the faid Parts, and in what manner theyare the Fountain of Vegetat ion, and concur rent to the being ofthe future plant, Account 30. §. THE GENERAL Caufe of the growth of a fean, or other Seed, is Fermentation, That is, the Bean lying in the Moul » of the d, and a noderate accefs of fome moifture , part ly diffi milar , and partly congenerous, being made, agentle Fermentation thence arifeth. the Bean (w elling, andthe By which, Sap till encreafing, and the Bean continuing {till to {well, the wor k thus proceeds : as is the ufgal way of explicating. But that there is fimplya Fermentation, and {0 a fufficient fupply of Sap isnot enou gh: but that this Fermenta tion, and the sap wherein ‘tis made, fhould be under a various Governme nt, by divers Parts thereto fubfervient, is alfo requifite 5 and as the Various preparation of the Alvwent in an Animal, equally neceflary : the particular procefS of the Work accordin g wher eto, we find none undertaking to Let us look Upon a Bean then , asa piece of Workfo fram and fet together, asto ’d declarea wich, upon its lying in fome Defign for the production of a Plant 5 oF all, the Bean being enfo convenent Soil, is thus effected.

Whereas, were the pean naked, the sap mufl needs be, as over-copious, fo but crude and immature, as not beingfi/tred throughfo fine a Gotton as the Coats be. And as they have theufe of a Filtre to the tranfient Sap; fo ofa Vefel depofited within them; being alike accommodat to that which js {till edto the fecurer Fer- mentation hereof, asBottles or Barrel s are to Beer, or any other Fermentative Liquor. 32. g.

The Sap being pafled throu gh the Coats, it next enters the Body ofthe Bean 3 yet not indife minatelyneither ; but, being filtred through the Outer Coat, and fermented in the Bodyo f the Inzner, is by mediation of the Cuticle, again more finely filtr’d, and fo entereth the Parenchyma it {elfundera fourth Gover nment. 35- §. Through which Part the Sap pafling towardsthe Seminal Root, as through that which is of a more {patious content 5 befides the benefit it hath of a farther percolation, it willalfo find room enough for a more free andattive fermenting and maturation herein. And being moreover, part ofthe true Bodyo f the Beaz, and fo with its proper Semivalities or Tindures copiou fly repleats the will not only find room, but alfo matter enough, by whofe Ene rey its Fermentation 5 will {till be more advanced, 36. § Andthe Sap being duly preparedhere, it next paffeth into all the Brawches of the Seminal Root. and fo undera fifth Government, Wherein howdelicate ‘tis now become, we may conceiveby the proportion betwixt the Parenchyma and this Semingl Root ; fo much only ofthe beft digefted sap being difcha rgedfrom the whole Stock in thar, as this will receive.
