therefrom_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o reason_n why_o he_o repute_v alom_n to_o contain_v a_o alkali_n be_v from_o its_o saponary_a property_n that_o alom_n say_v he_o be_v a_o alkali_n be_v plain_a from_o its_o saponary_a property_n for_o the_o dyer_n scour_v their_o cloth_n from_o all_o filth_n by_o boil_v it_o in_o alom_n water_n which_o be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o palpable_a mistake_n for_o the_o dyer_n use_v it_o not_o for_o scour_v their_o cloth_n but_o for_o lay_v a_o ground_n for_o other_o colour_n as_o for_o instance_n if_o three_o piece_n of_o cloth_n be_v put_v into_o the_o dyer_n woad_n or_o glastum_fw-la one_o white_a another_o yellow_a the_o three_o red_a the_o white_a without_o any_o previous_a preparation_n by_o alom_n shall_v be_v blue_n the_o yellow_a by_o be_v first_o a_o few_o hour_n in_o alomwater_n shall_v be_v green_a and_o the_o red_a by_o be_v also_o boil_a in_o alomwater_n shall_v be_v tawny_a so_o that_o if_o they_o shall_v general_o use_v alom_n water_n for_o scour_v their_o cloth_n they_o will_v thereby_o be_v prevent_v either_o of_o make_v yellow_n or_o black_n to_o both_o which_o alom_n make_v cloth_n incapable_a and_o therefore_o they_o only_o use_v it_o in_o order_n to_o a_o ground_n fit_v it_o to_o take_v other_o colour_n afterward_o it_o whole_o destroy_v all_o black_n yea_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v lixivial_a as_o it_o leave_v a_o harshness_n upon_o cloth_n whereby_o it_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o strike_v other_o colour_n now_o that_o alom_n consist_v chief_o of_o a_o acid_a salt_n be_v further_a evident_a by_o mix_v a_o lixivium_n of_o salt_n of_o tartar_n or_o of_o any_o vegetable_a fix_a salt_n which_o the_o solution_n of_o simple_a alom_n salt_n the_o mixture_n present_o coagulate_v or_o curdle_n into_o a_o white_a jelly_n whereas_o if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n they_o will_v mix_v as_o spirit_n of_o vitriol_n with_o spirit_n of_o vitriol_n lixivium_n with_o lixivium_n water_n with_o water_n like_v with_o like_a beside_o he_o be_v incautious_a of_o what_o he_o elsewhere_o assert_n viz._n where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o scarbrough-water_n curdle_n milk_n not_o by_o any_o vitriol_n but_o by_o alom_n who_o question_n say_v he_o that_o alom_n will_v curdle_n milk_n as_o well_o as_o vitriol_n the_o more_o subtle_a any_o acid_a liquor_n put_v to_o the_o milk_n be_v the_o more_o perfect_o do_v it_o separate_v the_o thick_a part_n from_o the_o thin_a here_o he_o acknowledge_v the_o alom_n to_o consist_v of_o a_o acid_a juice_n which_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o a_o lixivial_a for_o what_o the_o one_o make_v the_o other_o destroy_v now_o that_o the_o alkali_n of_o the_o alom_n shall_v imbibe_n the_o acidity_n of_o nitre_n this_o latter_a assertion_n be_v no_o more_o true_a than_o the_o former_a for_o as_o the_o alom_n contain_v no_o alkali_n so_o neither_o the_o nitre_n as_o nitre_n any_o acidity_n for_o if_o you_o put_v a_o little_a nitre_n into_o boil_a milk_n it_o will_v coagulate_v it_o no_o more_o then_o if_o so_o much_o fossil_n salt_n be_v put_v in_o neither_o of_o which_o two_o salt_n be_v acid_a until_o by_o force_n of_o fire_n in_o close_a vessel_n they_o be_v bring_v over_o in_o a_o fluid_a form_n in_o statu_fw-la fluoris_fw-la in_o close_a vessel_n i_o say_v because_o in_o open_a vessel_n nitre_n will_v by_o force_n of_o fire_n with_o a_o little_a

that_o the_o acidity_n of_o nitre_n be_v not_o a_o cause_n of_o petrifaction_n and_o that_o be_v evident_a because_o it_o have_v no_o acidity_n till_o it_o be_v raise_v by_o the_o fire_n next_o that_o
