because_o i_o perceive_v he_o impeach_v this_o spaw-water_n of_o the_o grand_a crime_n of_o petrifaction_n and_o thereby_o of_o be_v guilty_a of_o cause_v the_o stone_n gout_n and_o jaundice_n to_o person_n inclinable_a thereto_o and_o for_o want_v of_o due_a order_n at_o the_o spa_n in_o danger_n thereof_o as_o to_o the_o first_o he_o say_v it_o consist_v of_o three_o ingredient_n viz._n the_o nitroaluminous_a salt_n second_o the_o rament_n of_o stone_n and_o last_o the_o glebe_n of_o alom_n all_o which_o coincide_n with_o what_o we_o assert_v as_o the_o principle_n thereof_o as_o may_v be_v further_o see_v both_o in_o our_o hydrol._n chym._n and_o in_o this_o its_o vindication_n save_v that_o what_o he_o call_v the_o glebe_n or_o blue_a clay_n of_o alom_n i_o have_v describe_v as_o the_o particle_n of_o the_o minera_n of_o iron_n which_o difficulty_n will_v be_v easy_o take_v away_o by_o solve_v this_o query_n viz._n whether_o indeed_o those_o particle_n enclose_v in_o that_o alom_n glebe_n be_v not_o iron_n in_o succo_n soluto_fw-la or_o in_o minimis_fw-la particulis_fw-la atom_n or_o at_o least_o somewhat_o equivalent_a thereto_o bear_v a_o analogical_a proportion_n of_o texture_n of_o part_n to_o each_o other_o which_o will_v not_o be_v a_o little_a facilitated_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o as_o in_o the_o vegetable_a family_n not_o only_o gall_n will_v strike_v a_o

water_n he_o say_v be_v from_o unburnt_a alom-stone_n which_o suppose_v we_o grant_v yet_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o my_o ingenious_a friend_n shall_v conclude_v that_o what_o be_v precipitate_v without_o the_o addition_n of_o gall_n shall_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o chalybs_fw-la or_o the_o minera_n of_o iron_n notwithstanding_o his_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v because_o the_o vitrioline_n spirit_n and_o iron_n be_v too_o great_a friend_n be_v once_o meet_v together_o to_o be_v so_o easy_o separate_v any_o that_o have_v say_v he_o prepare_v the_o vitriolum_fw-la martis_n have_v learn_v why_o what_o difficulty_n be_v there_o in_o their_o separation_n see_v the_o ochre_n as_o well_o in_o acid_n as_o nitroaluminous_a spaw_n do_v so_o easy_o precipitate_v either_o by_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o air_n witness_v the_o yellow_a sediment_n at_o the_o fountainhead_n of_o all_o such_o spaw_n or_o by_o heat_n as_o for_o instance_n any_o of_o these_o mineral_n water_n be_v heat_v boil_a or_o distil_v will_v precipirate_n their_o hide_a ochre_n yea_o the_o solution_n of_o a_o vitriol_n of_o iron_n or_o of_o any_o common_a vitriol_n will_v in_o heat_n as_o i_o have_v find_v by_o trial_n do_v the_o same_o or_o last_o by_o motion_n ab_fw-la extra_fw-la whereby_o also_o a_o precipition_n of_o the_o same_o mineral_n body_n happen_v his_o second_o reason_n be_v when_o the_o vitrioline_n water_n by_o pass_v in_o the_o open_a air_n do_v settle_v its_o colcothar_n at_o the_o bottom_n without_o any_o mixture_n of_o gall_n it_o be_v always_o of_o a_o yellow_a colour_n which_o be_v also_o answer_v in_o my_o return_n to_o the_o first_o reason_n for_o the_o sediment_n of_o all_o spaw_n whether_o vitrioline_n from_o sow_n or_o aluminous_a be_v always_o yellow_a witness_v both_o that_o at_o scarbrough_n and_o that_o in_o bransdal_n knarsbrough_n and_o the_o spring_n that_o run_v through_o a_o alom-work_a near_o the_o sulphur-well_a at_o knarsbrough_n etc._n etc._n his_o last_o argument_n against_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o minora_fw-la of_o iron_n in_o the_o spa_n be_v that_o whereas_o in_o the_o take_n all_o chalybeat_a medicine_n the_o excrement_n be_v tinge_v black_a but_o by_o drink_v this_o water_n he_o say_v they_o become_v blue_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o blue_a or_o purple_a be_v black_a in_o a_o remiss_a degree_n towards_o which_o difference_n the_o crudity_n of_o the_o minera_n may_v probable_o not_o asleep_o little_o contribute_v but_o have_v i_o now_o the_o opportunity_n of_o prosecute_a one_o experiment_n i_o question_v not_o but_o to_o put_v the_o matter_n beyond_o dispute_n i_o will_v now_o only_o propound_v it_o and_o as_o i_o have_v leisure_n shall_v afterward_o try_v it_o and_o that_o be_v this_o viz._n to_o take_v a_o good_a quantity_n of_o the_o succulent_a alom-stone_n etc._n etc._n dissolve_v as_o much_o thereof_o as_o will_v in_o a_o competent_a quantity_n of_o fresh_a spring_n water_n when_o for_o trial_n sake_n it_o will_v thing_fw-mi with_o gall_n ready_o pour_v it_o off_o clear_a or_o filter_n it_o let_v it_o stand_v in_o open_a glass_n or_o glaze_v

dry_v it_o up_o slow_o by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o compare_v that_o and_o the_o yellow_a ochre_n precipitate_v from_o vitrioline_n water_n together_o and_o that_o either_o with_o a_o microscope_n or_o melt_v they_o down_o several_o with_o a_o blast_n to_o try_v if_o the_o result_n of_o both_o will_v not_o be_v the_o same_o his_o proportion_n of_o the_o ingredient_n be_v thus_o
