receue the impression as the light by the brightnes cléernes of Diamonds Saphirs Cristal or such like strengthning the same but in these of thē afore aledged ther is no such aptnes of heating cooling moystning or drying or by any other meanes furthering the same as you may perceue by your own outward senses Beside these heat preserued becometh more mighty being ioyned to drynes then to moysture séeing drines doth whet sharpen heat contrariwise moisture doth dul it as you may also easely gather Lastly actuall fyre working vpon the water it self can not put into it a greater degrée of heat the water it self remayning then the degrée of feruent heate Experience doth verifye the supposition whereby it may be inferred that the waters of Bathes can not be brought to so great a degrée of heate by whot vapoures vnder the earth nor yit by their dashing from hyghe places and craggie for then the waters descendinge out of the cragged rockes in the hyghe hilles in Kayer Naruayne shyre there called VVithua and out of the rauen cragge in Cumbreland shuld through their longe course and violent tossinges become hote But experience proueth the contrarie therefore dashinge togyther and passage of the waters through stony places is not the immediate cause of the heate of the waters of Bathes Séeing that effecte lastly is fyre neyther be such vapours or dashinges matchable to fyre in heate so that from them such an heate can not procéede Wherefore it shal be shewed that if it be heated their heat shal bée by none other means but of fyre And séeing fire doth so heate it ensueth that in the bowels of the earth fire may be found Which as wée haue sayde shal be farther approued both by experience and reason Auicen and Auerhois do permit that Elements are formally in things mixed which thing we leaue worthy to bee graunted by their authoritie so that then thus wise we wil argue It is an harder thing for nature to be able to bringe forth in the bowels of the earth a thinge mingled perfyte then a thing simple perfecte when as a thing mingled thus wyse can not be produced without the simple séeinge it is presupposed but nature can do the first séeing it bringeth forth Golde Siluer Brimstone Salt peter Alume Iron and all other myneralles Ergo it can do the seconde ergo it can bring foorth fyre also And the cause of the beginninge of this fyre is none other then that which is assigned of Aristo in secundo meteo capite de terraemotu And it is an exhalacion hot and drye included in the concauities of the earth where it séeking a passage out and not fynding it is laboured being so laboured it is rarified and beinge rarifyed is kindled bycause great rarefaction standeth with great heate If therefore it happen that where such vapour is included and after the maner as is sayde inflamed if I say it happen that there be metal of Bitumen or Sulphur it is also kindled and the fyre is so longe preserued as the matter féeding it shal not fayle which matter féeding must now be searched out bycause it is not yit euident what it is and also many of those which doo followe the opinion of Aristo concerning the cause preseruing the fyre vnder the earth do disagrée although all do confesse that this fyre vnder the earth hath some subiect preseruing it and that thys fyre is the cause of the heate of the waters of Bathes hereafter shall appeare more euidently Iohannes de Dondis an excellent learned man and a pure Peripatetique hath made a very goodly treatice of the hot welles in the fielde of Padua and there amongst other questions hée moueth this Whence it is that the waters of Bathes doo springe hote hée aunswereth at the length with Arist and sayth that the cause is fyre vnder the earth and that such waters doo flowe perpetually hote bycause the fyre is perpetually preserued in those places vnder the earth after hée demaundeth what is the cause preseruing and aunswered wherevnto very ignorauntly Sanonarola cleaueth that it is heate excitated of the Starres in the face of the earth which heate hée affirmeth to bée not onely the cause preseruing but also the efficient as it were and the materiall and subiect of the fyre hée supposeth to bée an exhalation hote and drie that is wynde And bycause the wynde is still ministred therfore that especially fyre is perpetually preserued and perpetually heateth the waters Afterward he demaundeth of the place of that fyre vnder the earthe sayth that it is not nye the centre of the earth bicause then it would easily bée corrupted for the earth is ther most pure and therfore the vertue doth more florish so that it is most colde neither is the place of the fyre vnder the brimme of the Earth for if it were ther conteyned it would burne vp the plantes and whatsoeuer is in the face of the same and therfore he concludeth that it is in the middle hollownesses betwene these two extremes that is béetwene the centre and the face of the earthe he addeth that this place where the fyre lyeth is distant from the face of the earth .xxx. Myles whereby it appeareth that he woulde haue the Sunne to perse the earth by the space of .xxx. Myles But this opinion is false bicause if the beames of the Sunne should kéepe fyre vnder the earth it must fyrst passe thorough the face of the earth then passe part after part vntill it come to that especiall heate and so afore it come to that fyre it would burne whatsoeuer is found on the superficies of the earth But admit that this heauenly heate passing thorough the superficies of the earth do not burne all that it encountreth yet it wyll not preserue that fyre bycause seing it is .xxx. myles distant from the superficies of the earth as he sayth toward the centre before the heate excitated of the Sunne beames come thether it will bée so flacke that it wyll not bée warme therefore the opinion of Ioannes is false Againe if fyre vnder the earth that is this flame and especiall heate were perpetually preserued of the heauenly heate it would ensue that in colde Regions waters of Bathes wold not be hot but in hot Regions they would be most feruent hot bicause in colde regions ther is but small reflexion of the beames of the Sunne for which cause they be cold Therfore the heate of the Sunne in them can not bée so hot that it should minister too the fyre vnder the earth so strong an heate but in the hot Zone ther shold not only be so great an heate that those waters should bée most hot but also all things should bée burned But dayly experience proueth the contrary also the authoritie of Matten Curtesse in his booke of Nauigacion to Charles the fith Monarche If therefore the heauenly heate were the cause of heate vnder the earth in cold climates hot waters
