¶ A diuision of Trees according to their generall kinds.

MOreouer, some trees lose their leaues, others continue alwaies green. And yet there is a∣nother difference of trees before this, and whereupon this dependeth. For trees there be which are altogether wild and sauage: there be again which are more gentle and ciuil: and these names me thinks are very apt to distinguish them. Those trees therefore which are so [unspec M] kind and familiar vnto vs, as to serue our turns either with their fruit which they bear, or shade which they yeeld, or any other vertue or property that they haue, may be very aptly and fitly be called ciuill and domesticall.
