Nutmeg
Proof plate
LVI. He beareth a Nutmeg Branch with a slip of three Leaves. The Nutmeg is inclosed in a husk, with a dalk or furrow in the middle, the leaves like to the Laurel; when it is ripe, then the husk bursteth open, and the Fruit appeareth out of it, like to an Hassel-Nut, and jagged like to it; the husk of the Nutmeg is that which we call Mace, sold for a rich Spice, and the Bark of the Tree for Cinnamon.

Pepper
Proof plate
LVII. He beareth a Pepper Branch slipped. The leaves are round, and pointed at the end, like to the Trefoil, against every leaf on the stalk groweth a long Cluster of Pepper, like to Races of Onions which Gardiners make up for Market Sale. The Tree groweth on Poles like to Hops, or else they would ly on the ground like Cucumbers; not having strength to support themselves, The Pepper is naturally white, but it is made black and wrinkled by Fire.
The long Pepper is after the same manner, the Races being described in chap.5. numb.48.[not transcribed]
Ginny Pepper hath a long pointed leaf on a long Footstalk, with a long cod or pod round and thick at top, and taper downward, till it end in a point, see numb. 44.
