likely_a to_o find_v it_o in_o that_o which_o be_v purify_v than_o in_o the_o faeces_fw-la which_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o and_o which_o be_v indeed_o but_o the_o impurity_n of_o iron_n that_o steel_n be_v make_v of_o i_o answer_v there_o will_v be_v some_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o salt_n may_v be_v more_o easy_o find_v in_o steel_n than_o iron_n if_o in_o the_o make_n of_o steel_n iron_n be_v simple_o calcine_v without_o add_v nail_n and_o horn_n of_o animal_n in_o the_o calcination_n for_o than_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o sulphur_n of_o iron_n be_v in_o part_n evaporate_v its_o salt_n will_v be_v the_o more_o soluble_a but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o volatile_a salt_n which_o come_v from_o these_o part_n of_o animal_n be_v pierce_a alkali_n do_v destroy_v the_o acid_n salt_v of_o iron_n and_o do_v thereby_o render_v the_o steel_n more_o compact_a and_o unfit_a to_o take_v rust_n because_o the_o salt_n which_o by_o their_o motion_n do_v rarify_v the_o metal_n be_v fix_v and_o as_o it_o be_v mortify_v and_o have_v not_o the_o capaciay_v of_o act_v as_o they_o do_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o plate_n of_o steel_n that_o have_v infuse_v in_o water_n will_v not_o give_v so_o great_a impression_n to_o it_o as_o a_o plate_n of_o iron_n calcine_v of_o the_o same_o weight_n infuse_v the_o same_o time_n will_v do_v another_o thing_n remarkable_a in_o the_o calcination_n of_o iron_n to_o turn_v it_o into_o steel_n be_v that_o it_o be_v thereby_o deprive_v of_o its_o more_o volatile_a salt_n which_o shall_v have_v most_o effect_n with_o it_o in_o hope_n to_o free_v it_o from_o impurity_n and_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o scory_n be_v the_o better_a part_n of_o iron_n that_o have_v be_v rarify_v by_o its_o salt_n thus_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o some_o be_v please_v to_o call_v the_o rust_n of_o iron_n its_o dross_n the_o whole_a metal_n may_v deserve_v the_o same_o appellation_n all_o of_o it_o be_v

do_v say_v that_o mercury_n can_v be_v absolute_o call_v a_o alkali_a because_o the_o alkali_a that_o be_v in_o mercury_n be_v but_o one_o part_n of_o its_o composition_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o its_o other_o part_n to_o answer_v this_o difficulty_n you_o need_v but_o only_o read_v in_o the_o remark_n that_o i_o have_v make_v upon_o the_o principle_n how_o it_o be_v i_o do_v explicate_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o alkali_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o although_o the_o name_n alkali_n come_v from_o the_o salt_n of_o a_o plant_n call_v kali_n that_o be_v soapwort_n yet_o all_o body_n that_o cause_v a_o sudden_a effervescency_n with_o acid_n be_v call_v alkali_n without_o any_o need_n of_o their_o contain_v any_o alkali_a salt_n within_o so_o that_o i_o have_v no_o occasion_n to_o enlarge_v this_o book_n without_o reason_n by_o answer_v all_o the_o little_a objection_n that_o have_v be_v make_v to_o i_o upon_o the_o supposition_n of_o mercury_n be_v a_o pure_a alkali_n it_o be_v likely_a enough_o that_o those_o who_o have_v raise_v they_o have_v not_o read_v with_o attention_n what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o my_o remark_n upon_o mercury_n for_o there_o be_v solution_n enough_o i_o shall_v speak_v nevertheless_o to_o some_o of_o the_o principal_a one_o first_o it_o be_v object_v that_o if_o mercury_n be_v a_o alkali_n and_o the_o venereal_a venom_n a_o acid_n this_o same_o acid_n shall_v certain_o fix_v it_o whereas_o the_o dissolution_n of_o it_o that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o juice_n do_v only_o serve_v to_o increase_v its_o volatility_n and_o render_v it_o corrosive_n instead_o of_o be_v at_o all_o sweeten_v by_o it_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v as_o false_a to_o say_v that_o mercury_n be_v volatilise_v by_o the_o acid_n juice_n of_o the_o venereal_a venom_n as_o it_o be_v that_o mercury_n mix_v with_o acid_n spirit_n to_o render_v it_o corrosive_n shall_v be_v volatilise_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n on_o the_o contrary_a mercury_n alone_o do_v easy_o volatilize_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o body_n and_o nothing_o but_o acid_n be_v able_a to_o fix_v it_o at_o all_o i_o think_v i_o have_v sufficient_o explicate_v myself_o as_o to_o this_o when_o i_o say_v that_o sometime_o mercury_n find_v not_o in_o the_o body_n enough_o acid_n spirit_n to_o fix_v it_o do_v pass_v by_o transpiration_n as_o for_o the_o corrosive_a nature_n that_o mercury_n receive_v we_o must_v attribute_v it_o to_o the_o disposition_n of_o its_o pore_n and_o the_o abundance_n of_o acid_n point_v it_o impregnate_v with_o and_o see_v it_o will_v not_o sweeten_v the_o acidity_n of_o salt_n and_o vitriol_n with_o which_o it_o be_v mix_v to_o make_v a_o sublimate_n corrosive_n why_o shall_v we_o expect_v it_o to_o sweeten_v the_o acid_n juice_n of_o the_o body_n i_o do_v not_o pretend_v nevertheless_o that_o it_o never_o dulcify_v at_o all_o for_o i_o do_v conceive_v it_o may_v destroy_v much_o of_o their_o force_n by_o divide_v and_o break_v their_o point_n when_o the_o acid_n be_v but_o few_o as_o do_v happen_v in_o mercurius_n dubois_fw-la second_o it_o be_v object_v that_o if_o the_o venom_n of_o the_o pox_n be_v a_o acid_n it_o may_v then_o be_v cure_a by_o the_o use_n of_o alkali_n salt_n either_o fix_v or_o volatile_a as_o by_o crabs-eye_n pearl_n coral_n and_o such_o like_a body_n as_o be_v wont_a to_o kill_v and_o sweeten_v acid_n humour_n i_o answer_v we_o often_o find_v that_o volatile_a salt_n do_v give_v some_o ease_n to_o those_o that_o be_v trouble_v with_o the_o venereal_a distemper_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o open_v the_o pore_n and_o so_o make_v the_o subtle_a part_n of_o it_o perspire_v away_o or_o that_o by_o be_v alkali_n they_o do_v absorbe_v some_o part_n of_o it_o for_o this_o reason_n some_o do_v use_v to_o give_v their_o patient_n the_o volatile_a salt_n of_o viper_n several_a morning_n together_o but_o these_o alkali_n be_v in_o truth_n of_o too_o weak_a a_o nature_n to_o carry_v off_o such_o a_o acidity_n after_o they_o be_v impregnate_v with_o it_o as_o mercury_n be_v able_a to_o do_v without_o lose_v its_o nature_n they_o be_v net_n of_o too_o fine_a a_o make_v to_o catch_v such_o keen_a and_o active_a body_n if_o these_o salt_n do_v destroy_v some_o part_n of_o the_o acidity_n they_o destroy_v themselves_o likewise_o in_o the_o conflict_n that_o they_o can_v have_v no_o further_o operation_n wherefore_o there_o be_v need_n of_o a_o more_o powerful_a volatile_a alkali_n than_o these_o salt_n be_v to_o eradicate_v the_o acidity_n of_o venereal_a poison_n as_o for_o fix_a salt_n and_o alkali_a body_n as_o pearl_n coral_n crabs-eye_n whereas_o they_o have_v no_o volatile_a quality_n in_o they_o and_o their_o tendency_n be_v whole_o downward_o it_o be_v very_o uncertain_a whether_o ever_o they_o reach_v to_o venereal_a tumour_n which_o common_o rise_v in_o the_o joint_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o long_a way_n they_o have_v to_o pass_v thither_o and_o the_o juice_n they_o have_v to_o encounter_v in_o their_o passage_n which_o may_v in_o all_o likelihood_n change_v their_o nature_n but_o suppose_v they_o be_v carry_v to_o those_o tumour_n with_o the_o
