fruitful All dungings are the Deputies and Loadstones of this Sal Natura and by them ground may be recovered amended and imreproved Another Letter on the same Subject J Have read the Book of Husbandry thorow being very much delighted with the many profitable ingenious and promising Inventions specified therein I wishing that I were a Farmer in the Country to play the practical Philosopher I remember in Cambridge being a youth I was wont to maintain that he was no Natural Philosopher that could not advance his Tillage order his cattel fishing fowling affairs with more dexterity and to greater profit then another man that pretends no skill in Physick This I speak from what I have read somewhere in Ramus who referred all Arts to profitable use in mans life abhoring the vain ostentations of the sophisticated Universities The mention which is made of Experiments of fructification by Salt confirmes me in an opinion that the Sea is as the heart of the World whence the waters run by low and secret waies into the earth as by Arteries carrying the vitality of Salt into the body of the whole earth wherewith it hath lost its mettal and vigour and is become fresh it returnes again by the Rivers as by veins into the Sea to receive a new fructifying and quickning tincture by the way serving to allay the indispositions that Animals finde in themselves by the over-activity of Salt which we call quenching of thirst c. I have long thought of this being moved thereunto at first by considering the like motion of blood in the Microcosine as here the heart resembles the Sea the motion of the blood the ebbing and flowing and circular motion of the Sea waters for the blood being salted in the heart and spirited with subtle Nitre or Gunpowder it by the Arteries in a more secret passage like that of the Sea waters into the earth is distributed through the body where having spent its vigour and metal it by the high and visible way of the veins lying on the surface of our earth is returned to the heart again to be fresh pickled I doubted of the truth of this till I read your book because I remembred that I had read of sowing the ground with salt in the Israelitish wars which I had heard interpreted to make it barren and because I have heard the old women say it will make hearbs dye to have urine to fall upon them How the Controversie about Helmont's Assertions mentioned in the fourth Deficiencie of the Legacy of Husbandry may be reconciled IN your Legacy Deficiencie 4. I finde these words A learned Author Helmot saith that smuttiness of Corn which maketh it smell like a red herring was not known in France till about 1530. At which time the great foul disease began to break forth which he conceiveth from hence to have some original as also the Camp-disease To this your friend at Paris in his letter dated July 22. 1651. replies thus The foul disease had its original full 36 years sooner than Helmot saies viz. in the year 1494. and nothing could be advanced more absurd or ridiculous in the judgement of all sound Physicians than to attribute the original of that disease in any wise to smutty Corn as he doth This difference had been prevented if both your friends had not written without book The place in Helmonts writings is not quoted by the former man nor doth the latter seem to have looked for it You shall finde the passage in Helmonts book called Tumulus pestis in the fourth chapter whose title is Peregrina lues nova there you may finde these words Notatur autem annus 1424 Parth noplicobsidio aetas luis ejusque prima nativitas Here the Printer was negligent as appears by that which follows a great way after in the same chapter Lues saith he ista primùm visa legitur in obsidione Neapolis Anno 1494. Then follows a long discourse wherein he seems to approve the opinion of one that suspected that it was bred by some villain that at the siege of Naples buggered a Mare for that Helmont means by jume●tum imitating the French word jument infested with the farcin or as our Farriers call it the fashions And saith he Non credam facilè unquam antea ejusmodi peccatum in talibus terminis ab origine mundi commissum estque morbus ille Farcin lui venereae similis equinae naturae affinis ac familiaris After this He mout proceeds in the order of time Anno 1540. sub Paulo III. circa Autumnum in Apulia pro●e Tarentum prima apparuit Tarantula Araneae simile c. Anno 1550. in Augusto Galli primum viderunt Triticum quod vocant roratum sive mellitum in aristae adhuc viridi halecem fumatam odore referens in matura verò nihil nisi faesidum pulverem atrum popularium utinam non morborum plurium causam Anno 1556. nostris oris maritimis he means Flanders Zealand Holland primum apparuit scorbutum veteribus ignotum By all which it is manifest that Helmont hath written nothing contrary to your latter friends assertions and that your former friend in writing that passage trusted more to his memory than it deserved An Observation touching planting of Trees in the Fenns J Received your Legacy of Husbandry though do not yet suppose you dead but rather your own Executor distributing your good things in your life time whilest others are like Swine good for nothing untill dead I have perused the book and cannot but wonder that in your constant residence in London you can see so far into the Country One part I have pitched on and that is the Plantation of a Mulberry Garden for the feeding of Silk-worms and having some already I shall indeavour their increase as much as may be I hope S. R. Weston will comply with your desires and also all others whose abilities shall be accompanied with good affections and a will for to promote all usefull arts and sciences Touching Planting of Trees being lately in the Fens about Whittelsey I observed a kind of Husbandry of planting of Willows by sets upon ridges which in those vast and vacant grounds being alwaies very moist doth soon produce an incredible profit and increase of fire-wood and Timber for many Country uses and doth improve as fast as your Lime-trees As I meet with other things I shal acquaint you with them More Observations concerning Fruit-trees and the great benefit of Furzes for keeping Mice and Rats out of Barn-floors or other rooms as likewise Reeks of Corn and Cheese-racks J Had not untill now conveniency to give you a further accompt of the Sussex Gentleman improving of his fruit-trees my friend will repair unto him and take as he promiseth the particulars from himself and I may then impart it more satisfyingly yet at the present he relateth that he gathereth all the Sult that remaineth in the Channel that conveigheth water to his Meadows and layeth it on heaps
