bituminous_a vapour_n ob._n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o see_v this_o water_n have_v pass_v late_o through_o the_o bituminous_a burn_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o its_o fresh_a odour_n of_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v cold_a and_o not_o hot_a as_o hot_a bath_n be_v sol._n 1._o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o fallopius_n that_o such_o kind_n of_o water_n proceed_v from_o a_o remote_a fire_n but_o pass_v through_o narrow_a passage_n retain_v their_o full_a odour_n and_o taste_v which_o can_v be_v vanish_v by_o the_o way_n any_o otherwise_o than_o smoke_n through_o a_o chimney_n or_o pipe_n although_o by_o the_o length_n of_o its_o passage_n it_o may_v lose_v its_o heat_n 2._o though_o the_o fire_n be_v near_o to_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n where_o this_o water_n break_v forth_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o the_o coldness_n thereof_o may_v proceed_v from_o a_o mixture_n of_o a_o cold_a spring_n before_o the_o break_v forth_o thereof_o neither_o let_v it_o seem_v strange_a to_o any_o that_o cold_a spring_n and_o hot_a may_v be_v so_o near_o together_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o just_a above_o the_o head_n of_o this_o sulphur-well_n there_o arise_v two_o cold_a spring_n which_o meet_v and_o run_v down_o within_o a_o few_o foot_n of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o same_o and_o mr._n jones_n in_o his_o treatise_n of_o buck-stone_n bath_n in_o derbishire_n say_v that_o the_o cold_a spring_n and_o hot_a spring_n be_v so_o near_o that_o a_o man_n may_v put_v one_o finger_n in_o the_o cold_a and_o another_o in_o the_o hot_a have_v in_o some_o measure_n declare_v unto_o you_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o sulphur-well_n viz._n of_o its_o saltness_n bitterness_n and_o sulphurous_a odour_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n give_v a_o account_n of_o some_o experiment_n and_o observation_n which_o i_o make_v and_o they_o be_v these_o viz._n 1._o if_o silver_n be_v put_v into_o this_o water_n it_o be_v thereby_o tinge_v first_o yellow_a and_o then_o black_a but_o gold_n be_v not_o all_o discolour_a thereby_o 2._o if_o this_o water_n be_v a_o little_a boil_a it_o lose_v its_o ting_a property_n and_o also_o stink_a odour_n 3._o it_o coagulate_v milk_n if_o it_o be_v boil_v therewith_o 4._o the_o distil_a water_n thereof_o lose_v its_o odour_n and_o do_v not_o coagulate_v milk_n 5._o if_o the_o water_n be_v boil_v it_o will_v still_o coagulate_v milk_n though_o it_o lose_v its_o odour_n 6._o seven_o gallon_n yield_v by_o evaporation_n a_o pound_n of_o salt_n which_o though_o at_o first_o black_a i_o have_v make_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n 7._o this_o salt_n coagulate_v milk_n also_o 8._o this_o water_n kill_v worm_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o creature_n present_o if_o they_o be_v put_v therein_o 9_o i_o fill_v two_o vial_n glass_n with_o this_o water_n in_o wet_a weather_n and_o stop_v the_o one_o but_o the_o other_o i_o leave_v open_a the_o water_n in_o that_o which_o be_v stop_v within_o a_o hour_n or_o

any_o whit_n considerable_o only_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o thin_a whitish_a matter_n after_o two_o or_o three_o day_n fall_v to_o the_o bottom_n the_o water_n continue_v very_o clear_a the_o water_n of_o that_o glass_n which_o be_v stop_v retain_v its_o odour_n most_o 11._o a_o pint_n of_o this_o water_n weigh_v two_o scruple_n i_o e._n forty_o grain_n more_o than_o a_o pint_n of_o common_a spring-water_n note_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o its_o ting_a white_a metal_n be_v not_o from_o any_o bodily_a sulphur_n or_o bitumen_n mix_v with_o it_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o will_v not_o mix_v with_o water_n but_o swim_v on_o it_o as_o in_o the_o spring_n at_o pitchford_n in_o shropshire_n and_o in_o avernia_n in_o france_n and_o in_o divers_a other_o place_n but_o from_o the_o vapour_n or_o the_o subtle_a atom_n and_o efluvia_n thereof_o which_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o water_n and_o in_o boil_a be_v evaporate_v the_o reason_n of_o its_o coagulate_v property_n be_v from_o some_o occult_a acidity_n in_o the_o salt_n thereof_o which_o to_o sense_n be_v not_o perceptible_a only_o by_o effect_n out_o of_o the_o salt_n be_v draw_v a_o very_a good_a spirit_n of_o excellent_a

the_o deep_a subterraneal_a channel_n to_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v apparent_a as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o some_o spring_n swell_v more_o in_o summer_n than_o in_o winter_n second_o if_o spring_n do_v rise_v high_a in_o time_n of_o frost_n than_o in_o hot_a season_n it_o be_v only_o either_o because_o some_o subterraneal_a vapour_n which_o can_v not_o evaporate_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v constring_v with_o cold_a be_v condense_v into_o water_n and_o so_o make_v for_o the_o present_a some_o small_a addition_n to_o spring_n or_o because_o the_o subterraneal_a water_n be_v rarify_v and_o swell_v by_o that_o heat_n which_o be_v occasion_v through_o the_o aforesaid_a bind_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o spring_n be_v hot_a in_o frosty_a weather_n than_o in_o summer_n and_o three_o because_o the_o water_n of_o that_o weatherglass_n if_o it_o be_v open_a at_o the_o top_n as_o the_o vein_n of_o fountain_n be_v will_v not_o observe_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o season_n so_o as_o to_o rise_v or_o fall_v according_o for_o that_o in_o a_o close_a

the_o water_n in_o the_o earth_n do_v not_o ascend_v i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v how_o they_o do_v ascend_v to_o the_o head_n of_o spring_n it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v be_v the_o same_o which_o aristotle_n himself_o and_o his_o follower_n grant_v that_o the_o water_n shall_v not_o be_v elevate_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o cavern_n to_o the_o head_n of_o spring_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o water_n be_v elevate_v from_o the_o sea_n to_o the_o middle_a region_n of_o the_o air_n now_o this_o elevation_n be_v do_v by_o the_o force_n of_o heat_n resolve_v the_o water_n
