The natural history of Barbados : in ten books . Ribs of the Leaves, areguarded with Three-inch-long triangular Prickles, always chanelled onone Side. The ftraiteft and youngefl Branches which grow near the Summit ofthe Tree, are much ufed here by the Jtws^ upon their Feaft of the Taber-nacles : Thefe they ufually gild, and adorn them with various Flow^ers, andthen carry them in Proceffion to their Synagogue. Whether this is thefame kind of Palm that was ufed by xh^IfraeliteSy we know not, or v/hetherit is not here fuccedaneoufly ufed as bearing the neareft Refemblanceto it. The Branches are fet on fquammatim, leaving, when they fall, verydeep Impreffions upon the Trunk. The Dates grow in large fpiral Clufters, about the Bignefs and Shapeof a middling Olive; but never come to the Perfe6lion here of being eatable jfor they have a very auftere and acerb Tafte; yet the Swine feed upon themgreedily : This crude rough Acidity of the Fruit fhews, that they have agreat deal of eflential Salts.

HO every Part of this Tree, cither in its Make or Ufe, isftamped with fo many evident Signatures of Divine Wifdom, as to make it juftly the Objedl of our Admiration ; yet, indefcribing it, we ought not to add to it (as mofl: Writershave done) pretended Qualities, and Excellencies foreignto its Nature. For as the Light of the Sun cannot be heightened by that of a Candle, fb neither can the perfed Works of God require the Aid of our weak, much lefs falfe Embellifhments, to fet them forth in a ftronger and moreadvantageous Light, left he fliould fay unto us, V/ho requireth this Thingat your Hand ? As the ingenious Mr. Ray was one of the firft Perfons of Characterwho was impofed upon, moft other Authors fince his Time, dependingupon his Defcription, have reprefented this Tree as actually capable of, and really producing.
