body_n and_o mind_n for_o it_o be_v the_o meat_n and_o drink_n that_o be_v simple_a and_o natural_a that_o render_v the_o spirit_n many_o in_o quantity_n and_o fine_a in_o quality_n from_o whence_o

but_o still_o much_o inferior_a to_o running-water_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o benefit_n of_o motion_n nor_o the_o like_a advantage_n of_o pass_v through_o various_a soil_n such_o pool_n

water_n become_v of_o a_o strong_a gross_a earthy_a taste_n and_o smell_v which_o be_v altogether_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o water_n and_o such_o water_n be_v not_o wholesome_a for_o man_n nor_o beast_n some_o husbandman_n do_v suppose_v these_o water_n to_o be_v very_o good_a for_o cattle_n to_o drink_v have_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o they_o will_v rather_o drink_v they_o than_o other_o which_o be_v no_o reason_n at_o all_o for_o this_o come_v through_o custom_n and_o use_n which_o make_v any_o sort_n of_o water_n familiar_a to_o nature_n and_o those_o cattle_n that_o be_v use_v to_o drink_v pond-water_n will_v refuss_v better_a water_n for_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o their_o stomach_n and_o palate_n be_v adulterate_v and_o make_v familiar_a to_o it_o so_o that_o they_o can_v distinguish_v the_o evil_a taste_n from_o the_o good_a second_o because_o such_o pond-water_n be_v of_o a_o hot_a and_o warm_a nature_n than_o other_o and_o cattle_n use_v to_o they_o will_v for_o that_o very_a cause_n refuse_v other_o just_a as_o man_n that_o accustom_v themselves_o to_o warm_a beer_n can_v drink_v cold_a without_o some_o trouble_n to_o the_o mouth_n and_o tooth_n though_o cold_a beer_n and_o ale_n be_v warm_a in_o operation_n and_o will_v more_o cheer_v the_o stomach_n and_o make_v the_o spirit_n more_o brisk_a than_o the_o hot_a because_o no_o fermented_a liquor_n whether_o they_o be_v beer_n ale_n cider_n or_o wine_n will_v admit_v of_o the_o heat_n of_o fire_n without_o violence_n to_o the_o pure_a spirituous_a part_n they_o be_v so_o volatile_a that_o they_o will_v present_o evaparate_v therefore_o warm_a beer_n or_o ale_n will_v soon_o become_v flat_a than_o that_o which_o have_v not_o be_v warm_v for_o when_o the_o spirituous_a part_n be_v evaporate_v or_o suffocate_v the_o sweet_a brisk_a balsamic_a virtue_n die_v but_o this_o hot_a sulphurous_a quality_n in_o pond-water_n which_o through_o custom_n most_o cattle_n like_v be_v of_o a_o evil_a nature_n and_o operation_n because_o the_o spirituous_a vapour_n of_o the_o air_n can_v so_o easy_o penetrate_v through_o its_o gross_a thickness_n whence_o it_o dull_v the_o edge_n of_o the_o appetite_n and_o stomach_n breed_v gross_a thick_a blood_n often_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o many_o disease_n and_o very_o injurious_a to_o the_o milk_n of_o cow_n
