to_o some_o all_o pump_n water_n be_v such_o but_o that_o they_o be_v mistake_v my_o experience_n have_v teach_v i_o for_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o some_o that_o will_v lather_n very_o well_o 34._o at_o henly_n they_o be_v trouble_v with_o many_o of_o they_o but_o not_o so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v at_o thame_n for_o there_o they_o have_v a_o way_n to_o let_v they_o stand_v two_o day_n within_o which_o time_n as_o i_o be_v inform_v by_o my_o worthy_a friend_n mr_n monday_n physician_n there_o the_o vitriol_n or_o whatever_o other_o acid_n it_o be_v fall_v down_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o vessel_n that_o hold_v they_o and_o then_o they_o will_v wash_v as_o well_o as_o one_o can_v desire_v but_o at_o thame_n where_o there_o be_v never_o a_o well_o in_o the_o whole_a town_n who_o water_n will_v wash_v or_o which_o be_v worse_o brew_v this_o experiment_n for_o i_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v try_v will_v by_o no_o mean_n succeed_v so_o that_o be_v they_o not_o supply_v by_o the_o adjoin_a rivulet_n the_o place_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o a_o deplorable_a condition_n the_o reason_n i_o suppose_v why_o the_o acid_n will_v not_o fall_v as_o it_o do_v at_o henly_n and_o some_o other_o place_n be_v because_o these_o water_n beside_o their_o salt_n in_o all_o probability_n also_o hold_v a_o crude_a sulphur_n who_o viscous_a particle_n do_v so_o tenacious_o embrace_v it_o that_o it_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o separation_n which_o may_v also_o perhaps_o be_v a_o hint_n to_o the_o cause_n why_o their_o beer_n will_v stink_v within_o fourteen_o day_n whenever_o they_o attempt_v to_o brew_v with_o this_o water_n for_o where_o a_o sulphur_n be_v any_o thing_n great_a in_o quantity_n and_o its_o body_n open_v and_o exalt_v by_o the_o heat_n in_o brew_v and_o the_o active_a spirituous_a particle_n of_o malt_n as_o i_o guess_v the_o case_n may_v have_v itself_o here_o the_o frame_n of_o that_o mixtion_n may_v probable_o be_v loose_v wherein_o the_o spirit_n first_o take_v their_o flight_n the_o sulphur_n will_v next_o begin_v to_o evaporate_v who_o steam_n be_v smart_o aculeat_v by_o the_o salt_n that_o then_o bear_v the_o chief_a sway_n in_o the_o subject_n cause_n the_o stink_n of_o the_o beer_n that_o be_v brew_v with_o such_o water_n 35._o other_o water_n there_o be_v that_o be_v palatable_o salt_n and_o sufficient_o stink_v without_o be_v

wonder_n since_o beside_o its_o saltness_n it_o have_v such_o a_o stink_n that_o it_o equal_v the_o salt_n stone_n and_o roast_a dog_n too_o so_o that_o shall_v the_o proprietor_n but_o build_v a_o

by_o a_o more_o profitable_a way_n 36._o as_o to_o the_o salt_n that_o impregnate_v this_o water_n i_o do_v not_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o simple_a one_o but_o some_o mineral_n concrete_a both_o of_o

of_o thrice_o calcine_v bay_a salt_n and_o dissolve_v it_o in_o a_o pint_n of_o well-water_n upon_o dissolution_n you_o will_v have_v much_o such_o a_o odour_n as_o have_v be_v observe_v by_o a_o
