A46281	A discourse of natural bathes, and mineral waters wherein, the original of fountains in general is declared, the nature and difference of minerals with examples of particular bathes, the generation of minerals in the earth, from whence both the actual heat of bathes, and their virtues proceed, by what means mineral waters are to be discover'd, and lastly, of the nature and uses of bathes, but especially of our bathes at Bathe, in Someerset-shire / by Edw. Jorden, Doctor in Physick.	Jorden, Edward, 1569-1632.; Guidott, Thomas, fl. 1698. Appendix concerning Bathe.	1669 (1669)	Wing J1074; ESTC R19762	134,265	263

mineral_n bath_n which_o beside_o the_o former_a use_n be_v also_o medicinal_a and_o very_a sovereign_a for_o many_o disease_n consist_v of_o wholesome_a mineral_n and_o approve_v for_o many_o

whereof_o have_v be_v so_o hard_o to_o discover_v as_o our_o ancient_a author_n have_v write_v little_a of_o they_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v sacred_a or_o holy_a either_o for_o that_o they_o judge_v they_o to_o have_v their_o virtue_n immediate_o from_o god_n or_o at_o least_o from_o the_o celestial_a body_n from_o whence_o both_o their_o actual_a heat_n be_v think_v to_o be_v kindle_v by_o

ascribe_v unto_o those_o natural_a bath_n to_o confirm_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o supernatural_a power_n in_o they_o as_o guaynerius_n report_v of_o the_o bath_n of_o aque_fw-la in_o italy_n and_o langius_n out_o of_o athenoeus_n concern_v the_o bath_n of_o edepsus_fw-la which_o both_o lose_v their_o virtue_n for_o a_o time_n lib.2_n the_o one_o by_o the_o magistrate_n prohibit_v poor_a

again_o i_o need_v not_o herein_o aver_v the_o opinion_n of_o divinity_n which_o be_v hold_v to_o be_v in_o bath_n make_v any_o mention_n of_o the_o pool_n of_o bethesda_n write_v of_o by_o saint_n

power_n ●_o yet_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o those_o and_o such_o like_a example_n breed_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n a_o reverend_a and_o divine_a opinion_n of_o all_o bath_n especial_o where_o they_o see_v such_o strange_a effect_n as_o they_o can_v not_o well_o reduce_v to_o natural_a cause_n and_o this_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o in_o old_a time_n these_o mineral_n fountain_n

beside_o this_o sacred_a conceit_n of_o bath_n wherewith_o in_o ancient_a time_n the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v possess_v we_o may_v add_v this_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o mineral_n be_v not_o so_o

of_o these_o bath_n or_o mineral_n fountain_n be_v water_n we_o must_v first_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o simple_a water_n and_o from_o thence_o we_o shall_v better_o judge_v of_o mineral_n
