to his own nature ministreth féeding to the flame long And that you may proue of Camphyre and such other things whence it is no maruayle if waters of Bathes bée alwayes hot séeing the fire thorowe which they ware hote hath for a féedinge and propre subiect plentie of bitumen conteyned in the places vnder the earth and longe preseruing the flame This opinion of Agricola although it bee very like to bée true yit it hath a difficultie agaynst it bicause both experience and also the authoritie of the most learned men is agaynst it For Vitruuius which was a great searcher out of thinges vnder the earth willeth that the fyre is vnder the conduyts and yit Agricola sayeth it is not necessarie It is also agaynst the experience of the olde Romaynes who as they were moste wealthie least nothing vnproued amongest other things of those which did séeme vnpossible they practised to make a well whose water might continually slow hot and the matter succéeding according to their desire for they framed brasen pypes which they rouled into many roūdnesses so that the pypes did resemble the Spyres of a Dragon and for this cause they called the pypes dragons these pypes so framed had in the one part an hole by which cold water entred in and by another hole which they had belowe the waters of the fountayne did enter in and afterward vnder the spyres of the pypes they made fyre by which the water of the first spyre was skarcely heated the second more the thyrde yit more and so in all the water was more hote and so continually the water of the wel flowed hote and would alwais haue broken out hote if they had kepte the fire still vnder those spyres which thinge also you may perceyue by stillinge therefore séeing both experience and also authoritie teacheth that water can onely ware hote through fyre vnder it without bitumen it is false which Agricola hathe sayde that it is not necessary that fyre should be vnder the conduytes which thing also is hence euident bicause in the Bathe of S. Bartholomewes in the fielde of Padua as testifieth Fallopius their is a certayne well into which cold water entreth yit as soone as it is ther it waxed hote and this is not done bicause bitumen is there as sayth Fallopius but bicause fire is vnder that place Also in the Valley of the same bath there are two places out of the which ther is drawen clay and in the place wher clay was drawen out there is found Glarea and most hote marble and that heat procéedeth not of bitumen but of fyre vnder that Glarea Furthermore if waters were hote of fyre nourished of bitumen béeing in the conduytes as Agricola sayeth it would followe that all waters in theyr passage shoulde haue in them selues some fattynesse and also smell and taste of Bitumen yet this is false bycause there bée many in which there are none of these as the waters of the Bathes of Buckstone And those waters which haue Bitumen in déed as ther are some found which haue in them fattines and smell and taste of bitumen and all things as is the clay of S. Bartho which in déed tasteth of bitumen iudaicum as affirmeth Fallopius bicause that in that Bathe Bitumen burneth and therefore representeth smell and taste and all things of bitumen But some man will saye note you that fattines is not in all waters bycause perchaunce the bitumen which they conteyne is sound so that it can not bée melted This I graunt yet both the smell and also the taste ought to bée perceyued if it were true besydes that in such waters ther ought to bée vapoures of bitumen Therefore the matter of bitumen is not necessary in all waters that by reason of it they should be hote Therefore let vs omit the opinion of Agricola and come vnto another which is true and it is the opinion of Aristot and of them which doo followe Arist which is that the matter preseruinge fyre is Brimstone and that this was his opinion it is euident of him selfe in the 24. section of his Problemes and the last Probleme for there hée demaundeth the cause why hote Bathes were called holly and aunswereth bycause they wer made of things most holly And things most holly hée calleth Brimstone lightening and hée called Brimstone moste holly after the maner of the auncient persons which vsed it to clense their sacrifices wherevpon in Gréeke it is called theion as it were diuine of this place therefore it is clearely gathered that the mind and opinion of Aristo is that the matter preseruing fyre heating water is sulphur which séeinge it is not méete to be burned out in the conduytes of the earth it is necessary that it be burned out elswhere Hée sayeth besyde that lighteninge is the cause engendring such fyre and by the worde fulmen you maye not vnderstande Bitumen as amisse Ioannes de Dondis did that he might cleaue to the common opinion but Aristo hath accustomed in hys Problemes first to assigne the cause naturall then some common and the common opinion was that lightening dyd heate waters But let vs omit this and let vs come to the naturall and it is that the matter féeding fyre vnder the earth is Sulphur as experience it selfe teacheth For at Bath sensibly it may be proued that brimstone boyleth in the water yet I not deny that Bitumen also is not the continuall féeding of fyre but I affirme that fire in some places is fedde by brimstone and in some places by Bitumen So that I will conclude howe that necessarily the waters which doo waxe hot through Sulphur haue smell and tast of Sulphur as the bathes of Bath hath of which folowing more largely shal be entreated and those of Bitumen haue smell and tast of Bitumen But when as al bathes haue not immediatly th one of these hence it is that some waters be found which doo represent neyther Sulphure nor Bitumen as at Buckstone And when they passe through stonie places they doo lose straight way if they haue Sulphure or Bitumen bicause some waters do not boyle in Sulphur do waxe hot in the iorney Therfore such waters tast not of Sulphur the same I say of Bitumen séeing there be some waters which doo waxe hote through it that they passe through places in which Bitumen burneth and those which doo waxe hote thus wise doo not of brimstone nor bitumen Howbée it these waters if not immediatly yet mediatly they wax hote by reason either of brimstone or Bitumen preseruing the heat as in my benefite of Buckstones bathes may appeere But here ariseth a doubt why these fiers goe not forth séeing fier consumeth all things this is true if it be not still fed but Sulphur or Bitumen be quickly regenerated again therfore it is no dout that fier hauing matter to burn on is preserued alwayes That it quickly ingendreth again Strabo testifieth so that the digging of it béeinge intermitted for the space

it might be done supposing these will serue to giue the wise and learned patient matter sufficient to consult with the Phisition of wherby that which is according to nature may be preserued and ayded and those things which be against Nature expelled the scope of Phisicke as is shewed Elementum is a simple and most pure bodie and the best parte of that wherein it is can not be deuided into any other kind and of it all things naturall haue their beginning without al generacion or corruptiō Howbeit of Fire made thicke commeth Ayre Of Aire made thick commeth vvater Of vvater made thick cōmeth Earth And yit here is neither corruptiō nor generation of the whole For this is but a mutation of the parts onely And the consent and agrement of them is the fyre with the Ayre in heate in drynes with the Earth in moisture the Aire with the water in heate with the fire in coldnes the water with the earth and in moisture with the ayre the earth in drines with the fyre and in coldnes with the water as the water to the fyre is extreme contrary so is the aire to the earth Elementes foure Fyre Absolutelie hot and moderately dry Ayre Absolutely moist and moderately hot vvater Absolutely cold moderatly moist Earth Absolutely dry and moderatly cold Temperamentum is a tēpering of diuers qualities of the foure Elements in one body Temperaments or complections .ix.
