PHIL. For Aristotle 1& Plutarch do write, as Aulus ⟨image 65⟩Gellius testifieth, that the nature of a Palm tree is this, ye although there be never so great weights & burdens laid upon it, so that a man would not think it possible to be borne, yet doth not the Palm tree once bow, nor give place to the bur den, but valiantly ariseth & prevaileth against the weight laid upon it. Therefore by this Palm tree rather than by any other is 2victory alway signified, yea & that not only in divine but also in humane literature.
