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. ⟨p. 147⟩Such productions would be monstrous in nature and although 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.
