OBSERVATION.
GOd gives to every seed its own body, 1 Cor. 15. 38.
At first he created every Tree and herb of the field,
having its seed in it self, for the conservation of the species; and
they all inviolably observe the Law of their Creation. All
fruits naturally rise out of the seeds, and roots proper to
them. Men do not gather grapes of thorns, nor figs of thistles.
descriptionPage 147
Such productions would be monstrous in nature and al∣though
the juice or sap of the earth be the common matter
of all kind of fruits, yet it is specificated according to the
different sorts of Plants and seeds it nourishes. Where
Wheat is sown, it's turned into Wheat; in an apple Tree, it
becomes an apple; and so in every sort of Plants or seeds,
it's concocted into fruit proper to the kind.
