GHAR. 7 es HE Parts of the Germen and Branch, are the * fame with thofe of the Truk ; the fame Skin, Cortical and Lignous Bodies,Infertment and Pith, hereinto propagated, and diftinétly obfervable herein. 2. §. For upon Enquiry into the Original of a Branch or Germen, it appears, That it » is not from the Superficies of the Trumks but 2 ? fo deep, as to take, with the Cortical, the Lignous Body into it felf: and that, not only fromits Circumfe rence, but from in Ivner or Central Parts 3 So asto take the Pith in alfo.. eent to the Pith, to move with them. Andfince the Lignous Body is not entire, but frequently difparted5 through thefe Difpartm nents, the faid interiour Portions, upon their Nutrition, actually fhoot 3 not only towards the Circumference, foas to make part ofa Rivg; but even beyondit, in order to the production ofa Germen. And the Lignous Body thus moving, and carrying the Cortical along with it 5 they both make a force upon the Skiz. Yet their motion being molt even and gra dual, that force is fuch likewife; not to caufe the leat breach ofits parts, but gently to carry it on with themfelves ; and fo partly, by the extenfion ofits already exiftent parts, as of thofe of Goldin drawing of Guilded Wyer , and partly, by the accretion of new ones, asin the enlarging of a Bubble above the Surface of the Water 5 it is ex- tended with them to their utmoft growth. In which growth, the Germen being prolonged, and fo difplaying its feveral parts, as when a Profpecti 4. $. ve or Telefcope is drawn out, thus becomes a Branch. The fame way as the propagationof the Parts of a Germeni contriv’d, is its due nutrition alfo. s For being originated from the inner part of the Lignous Body, ‘tis nourifhed with the beft fermented Sap in the Truzk, fe. that next adjacent to it in the Pith, Of the GERMEN, BRANCH, and LEAF.

Themannerwherein ufually the Germenand Branch are fram‘d, is briefly thus : The Sap ( asisfaid, Chap. 3. _) mounting in the Trunk, will not onlybyits length,but byits breadthalfo, throughthe Infertion partly move. Yet, its Particles being notall alike qualified, in diffe-s rent degrees. Someare more grofg and fluggifh; of which wehave the formation of a Circle of Wood only, or of an Annual Ring.
