A PEACH hathamuch bigger Stone, than either a Plum, an Aprecock : and hath therefore, when full ripe, and efpecially in hot OK SS the {maller, making crly one fingle Net, near the Circumference ; they all meet together at the Top of the Grape. It is alfo to be noted, That many Lignous Fibres are vifibl y mixed with the Skinit felf: wherebyit becomes very thick and tough. And_ as the Aer-Vefels in the Truzk ofa Vine, are greater than in that of an Apple, Pear, or Plum: So isit to be prefumed, that ina Grape, they are greater than in the Fruits of thofe Trees. 2. §. The Paren chyma or Pulp of a Grape, feems to be derive d, not from the Sarqve, asin an Apple; nor partly from the Barque, and partly from the Pith, as in a Goosberry: but wholl y from the P7th; at leaft, as far as the Reticulation of the Fibres 3 and the Shz only from the Barque 5 wherebythe Pulp becomes fo tender and delicate a Meat. 3. § A GOOSBERRY,hath a Three fold Parenchyma, The Utmoft is derived from the Barque; of a Green er Colour, and very Sappy.
