It must be allow'd, these Crolians were Cunning People, thus to wheedle in these High Flying Solunarians to break the Neck of their dear Project. But upon the whole, for ought I cou'd see, whether it went one way or t'other, all the Nation esteem'd the other People Fools Fools of the most extraordinary Size in all the Moon, for either way they pull'd down what they had been many Years a Building.
Harvey-Apple; that which we call so, is esteem'd very good to make Cider of. Winter Queening is a durable Apple, and makes good Cider. Leather-Coat; both Apple and Tree stand well. The Juniting is early ripe, and soon gone, in these warm Countries.
As the Paws of this Creature, are held for the best bit about him, so is the Head esteem'd the worst, and always thrown away, for what reason I know not. I believe, none ever made Trial thereof, to know how it eats. The Oil of the Bear is very Sovereign for Strains, Aches, and old Pains.

I allow, that the Talents of these ingenious Men are very much to be esteem'd in their proper place; that is, as they unbend the Mind, relieve the Satiety of Contemplation and Labour, and by the Delight which they give, refresh the Spirits and fit them for the Returns of Study and Employment: But then it must be granted, that, as I have said, this is the meanest, as being the least beneficial Province in which our intellectual Faculties can be engag'd; and therefore these facetious Men can only claim the highest Rank among those, who are Inventors or Ministers of Pleasure, and provide Amusements and Recreations for the Busy and the Wise.

The Berry, when ripe, is black; 'tis very oily, Carminative, and extremely prevalent in Clysters for the Colick. The Bark of the Root is a Specifick to those afflicted with the Gripes.
