above_o my_o reach_n and_o in_o which_o i_o have_v no_o insight_n it_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o observe_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o moon_n but_o as_o to_o the_o prune_v of_o tree_n and_o whatever_o

it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o be_v very_o good_a to_o prune_v at_o the_o end_n of_o february_n and_o at_o the_o beginning_n crescentius_n of_o march_n which_o be_v common_o time_n of_o decrease_v but_o it_o be_v likewise_o as_o true_a that_o without_o mind_v the_o moon_n one_o may_v begin_v to_o prune_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v fall_v that_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o

opinion_n that_o it_o may_v be_v both_o prudent_a and_o useful_a not_o to_o prune_v they_o all_o at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o that_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o prune_v some_o soon_o and_o other_o late_a for_o example_n i_o be_o sufficient_o persuade_v that_o the_o weak_a and_o more_o languish_v a_o tree_n be_v the_o soon_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v prune_v to_o take_v from_o it_o betimes_o

why_o the_o prune_v in_o november_n december_n and_o january_n be_v very_o good_a and_o wholesome_a in_o relation_n to_o these_o and_o even_o better_a than_o that_o of_o february_n and_o march._n and_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n the_o strong_a and_o more_o vigorous_a a_o tree_n be_v the_o long_o the_o prune_v of_o it_o may_v be_v defer_v i_o mean_v as_o to_o such_o a_o one_o that_o

the_o first_o which_o relate_v to_o the_o prune_v of_o weak_a tree_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o conduct_n of_o certain_a frugal_a miller_n who_o with_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o water_n find_v the_o mean_n to_o manage_v a_o mill_n that_o require_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o second_o which_o relate_v to_o the_o prune_v of_o very_o vigorous_a tree_n be_v take_v from_o other_o miller_n who_o know_v how_o dangerous_a great_a stream_n of_o rise_a water_n be_v to_o their_o mill_n for_o a_o time_n suffer_v the_o abundance_n of_o water_n which_o may_v annoy_v they_o to_o flow_v gentle_o by_o and_o the_o violence_n of_o it_o be_v over_o they_o shut_v their_o sluice_n or_o water-gate_n and_o afterward_o employ_v the_o remainder_n of_o their_o water_n according_a as_o may_v be_v expedient_a for_o the_o number_n of_o wheel_n they_o be_v to_o ply_v for_o the_o understanding_n of_o these_o two_o comparison_n i_o say_v that_o the_o sap_n in_o every_o tree_n appear_v to_o i_o to_o be_v partly_o the_o same_o as_o water_n be_v in_o every_o river_n i_o will_v say_v in_o another_o place_n what_o water_n be_v in_o the_o pipe_n of_o spout_a fountain_n whether_o river_n be_v large_a or_o small_a it_o be_v still_o certain_a that_o they_o be_v beautiful_a provide_v that_o the_o channel_n of_o each_o whatever_o it_o may_v be_v be_v common_o furnish_v with_o a_o quantity_n of_o water_n proportionable_a to_o it_o without_o which_o they_o be_v miserable_a and_o of_o no_o consideration_n so_o be_v a_o tree_n likewise_o esteem_v beautiful_a whatever_o size_n it_o be_v of_o there_o be_v

thickness_n or_o bulk_n without_o which_o a_o tree_n be_v certain_o both_o ugly_a and_o miserable_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o while_o a_o tree_n be_v in_o a_o good_a ground_n and_o well_o the_o

for_o the_o further_a proof_n of_o this_o opinion_n i_o have_v two_o argument_n to_o offer_v both_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o strong_a and_o cogent_a the_o first_o be_v that_o as_o it_o be_v the_o sap_n which_o be_v for_o a_o time_n grow_v thick_a and_o as_o it_o be_v cold_a so_o strong_o glue_n and_o join_v the_o bark_n to_o the_o wood_n that_o they_o be_v not_o easy_o pull_v asunder_o so_o upon_o its_o be_v heat_v either_o by_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o spring_n or_o summer_n or_o by_o our_o common_a fire_n they_o become_v easy_o separable_a and_o this_o be_v easy_o concieveable_a to_o every_o one_o that_o consider_v that_o almost_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n be_v every_o day_n do_v in_o the_o use_n of_o common_a glue_n as_o to_o the_o second_o you_o need_v only_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o bark_n and_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o you_o will_v perceive_v in_o both_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o little_a gutter_n or_o channel_n which_o be_v separate_v from_o each_o other_o by_o as_o many_o little_a partition_n which_o serve_v to_o fasten_v the_o bark_n to_o the_o tree_n and_o to_o be_v passage_n for_o the_o sap_n to_o ascend_v up_o to_o the_o very_a top_n both_o to_o be_v a_o continual_a supply_n to_o all_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o to_o add_v new_a growth_n to_o such_o part_n as_o be_v capable_a of_o enlargement_n observe_v all_o those_o little_a channel_n which_o in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o wood_n appear_v crosswise_o from_o the_o pith_n to_o the_o bark_n like_v so_o many_o straight_a line_n draw_v from_o the_o centre_n of_o a_o circle_n to_o its_o circumference_n or_o the_o sun_n as_o painter_n use_v to_o draw_v it_o and_o which_o be_v plain_o see_v in_o cut_v a_o turnip_n through_o the_o middle_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o instead_o of_o assign_v the_o sap_v passage_n up_o into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o tree_n through_o the_o fibre_n of_o it_o i_o may_v not_o as_o reasonable_o conclude_v that_o these_o be_v the_o real_a passage_n by_o which_o the_o sap_n which_o as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v be_v lodge_v and_o perform_v most_o of_o its_o action_n between_o the_o wood_n and_o the_o bark_n be_v convey_v into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o tree_n to_o refresh_v and_o feed_v all_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o it_o since_o i_o can_v positive_o determine_v for_o what_o other_o use_v nature_n shall_v have_v intend_v those_o little_a channel_n which_o be_v
