of_o the_o same_o nature_n do_v proceed_v from_o this_o that_o the_o natural_a salt_n have_v be_v put_v into_o motion_n by_o trituration_n or_o some_o other_o cause_n do_v rarify_v and_o dissolve_v

and_o dissolve_v the_o whole_a the_o same_o may_v be_v likewise_o say_v of_o other_o acid_a matter_n which_o cause_n a_o fermentation_n but_o when_o the_o acid_n have_v rarify_v the_o matter_n as_o

myself_o with_o those_o already_o say_v and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o this_o discourse_n can_v furnish_v we_o with_o any_o thing_n that_o illustrate_v the_o digestion_n of_o aliment_n in_o the_o stomach_n most_o of_o our_o modern_a philosopher_n have_v not_o spare_v the_o notion_n of_o acid_n when_o they_o have_v endeavour_v to_o explicate_v digestion_n they_o have_v conceive_v the_o

or_o else_o the_o membrane_n of_o the_o stomach_n will_v be_v attenuate_v and_o concoct_v too_o as_o well_o as_o that_o which_o they_o contain_v which_o nevertheless_o do_v not_o happen_v in_o the_o natural_a temper_n of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o seek_v after_o these_o imaginary_a acid_n to_o cause_n digestion_n the_o spittle_n which_o mix_v with_o the_o aliment_n as_o they_o

requisite_a to_o set_v the_o part_n in_o motion_n but_o when_o once_o they_o be_v move_v they_o do_v contain_v enough_o salt_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o be_v quicken_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o this_o viscus_fw-la will_v break_v all_o their_o chain_n and_o find_v a_o vent_n out_o whence_o do_v infallible_o follow_v a_o attenuation_n of_o the_o aliment_n into_o a_o chylous_a

no_o more_o aliment_n to_o work_v upon_o use_v to_o act_v upon_o the_o membrane_n themselves_o but_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v explicate_v this_o irritation_n better_o according_a to_o my_o own_o

create_v this_o irritation_n see_v that_o spittle_n as_o every_o body_n must_v grant_v be_v load_v with_o a_o salt_n but_o as_o for_o they_o they_o must_v make_v a_o acid_a to_o come_v from_o the_o

enough_o to_o comprehend_v i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o some_o of_o they_o to_o avoid_v this_o difficulty_n will_v say_v that_o the_o acid_n be_v generate_v in_o the_o stomach_n from_o the_o remainder_n of_o that_o which_o be_v eat_v which_o continue_v some_o time_n in_o the_o stomach_n produce_v a_o leaven_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o doughty_n but_o then_o they_o must_v explain_v to_o i_o what_o the_o ferment_n do_v consist_v of_o which_o serve_v to_o digest_v the_o first_o aliment_n that_o the_o infant_n take_v another_o objection_n may_v be_v make_v to_o what_o i_o have_v say_v touch_v digestion_n it_o be_v that_o whereas_o i_o have_v maintain_v that_o acid_n do_v dissolve_v when_o they_o abound_v and_o coagulate_v when_o they_o be_v but_o few_o in_o a_o great_a

this_o difficulty_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o considerable_a we_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o natural_a acid_n of_o aliment_n take_v into_o the_o stomach_n be_v sufficient_a to_o rarify_v and_o dissolve_v those_o body_n which_o hinder_v their_o motion_n when_o it_o have_v be_v begin_v by_o mastication_n or_o by_o some_o salt_n of_o the_o spittle_n which_o serve_v as_o a_o leaven_n to_o they_o much_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o salt_n of_o meal_n do_v rarify_v the_o paste_n when_o they_o have_v be_v actuate_v before_o by_o trituration_n and_o leaven_n together_o but_o now_o if_o there_o happen_v to_o be_v too_o much_o acid_n in_o the_o aliment_n that_o be_v take_v into_o the_o stomach_n they_o will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n as_o cucumber_n
length_n and_o bigness_n one_o from_o another_o and_o this_o diversity_n must_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o keen_a or_o blunt_a edge_n of_o the_o different_a sort_n of_o acid_n and_o so_o likewise_o this_o difference_n of_o the_o point_n in_o subtlety_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o one_o acid_n can_v penetrate_v and_o dissolve_v well_o one_o sort_n of_o mix_v that_o another_o can_v rarify_v at_o all_o thus_o vinegar_n dissolve_v lead_v which_o aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la can_v aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la dissolve_v quicksilver_n which_o vinegar_n will_v not_o touch_v aqua_fw-la regalis_fw-la

the_o rest_n as_o for_o alkali_n they_o be_v soon_o know_v by_o pour_v a_o acid_n upon_o they_o for_o present_o or_o soon_o after_o there_o rise_v a_o violent_a ebullition_n which_o remain_v until_o the_o acid_n find_v no_o more_o body_n to_o rarify_v this_o effect_n may_v make_v we_o reasonable_o conjecture_v that_o a_o alkali_n be_v a_o terrestrious_a and_o solid_a matter_n who_o pore_n be_v figure_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o the_o acid_a point_n enter_v into_o they_o do_v strike_v and_o divide_v whatsoever_o oppose_v their_o motion_n and_o according_a as_o the_o part_n of_o which_o the_o alkali_n be_v compound_v be_v more_o or_o less_o solid_a the_o acid_n find_v more_o or_o less_o resistance_n do_v cause_n a_o strong_a or_o weak_a ebullition_n so_o we_o see_v the_o effervescency_n that_o happen_v in_o the_o dissolution_n of_o coral_n be_v very_o much_o mild_a than_o that_o in_o the_o dissolution_n of_o silver_n there_o be_v as_o many_o different_a alkali_n as_o there_o be_v body_n that_o have_v different_a pore_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o acid_n will_v ferment_n with_o one_o strong_o and_o with_o another_o not_o at_o all_o for_o there_o must_v be_v a_o due_a proportion_n between_o the_o acid_a point_n and_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o alkali_n the_o nature_n of_o alkali_n be_v thus_o establish_v there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o fly_v to_o a_o imaginary_a salt_n in_o plant_n for_o explication_n of_o the_o effervescency_n and_o it_o will_v be_v easy_o conceive_v that_o if_o a_o alkali_n salt_n be_v full_a of_o a_o terrestrious_a matter_n that_o render_v it_o porous_a like_o other_o alkali_n it_o must_v cause_v a_o ebullition_n that_o which_o i_o say_v speak_v of_o volatile_a salt_n may_v here_o be_v add_v that_o the_o igneous_a particle_n break_v in_o through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o alkali_n salt_n wherein_o they_o become_v imprison_v by_o the_o calcination_n do_v much_o contribute_v to_o the_o raise_v this_o effervescency_n and_o real_o when_o the_o acid_n spirit_n of_o vitriol_n or_o aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la be_v cast_v upon_o a_o alkali_a salt_n there_o happen_v as_o strong_a a_o ebullition_n as_o when_o this_o liquor_n be_v fling_v into_o the_o fire_n itself_o acid_n salt_n do_v rare_o cause_v any_o effervescency_n with_o acid_n liquor_n because_o their_o pore_n be_v very_o small_a the_o common_a acid_n be_v not_o able_a to_o pierce_v into_o they_o but_o we_o do_v sometime_o meet_v with_o acid_n who_o point_n be_v so_o fine_a and_o so_o proportion_v to_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o salt_n that_o they_o will_v find_v a_o entrance_n even_o into_o the_o exceed_a little_a pore_n of_o these_o acid_n salt_n and_o thereby_o cause_v a_o commotion_n and_o then_o these_o salt_n although_o they_o be_v acid_n yet_o may_v be_v call_v alkali_n in_o respect_n of_o such_o keen_a acid_n this_o do_v happen_v to_o sea-salt_n which_o be_v a_o acid_n for_o though_o it_o will_v make_v no_o ebullition_n neither_o with_o spirit_n of_o salt_n nor_o with_o spirit_n of_o niter_n nor_o with_o spirit_n of_o alom_n nor_o with_o spirit_n of_o vitriol_n yet_o if_o you_o mix_v it_o with_o the_o strong_a oil_n of_o vitriol_n there_o will_v rise_v a_o effervescency_n wherefore_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o one_o acid_n salt_n be_v a_o alkali_n in_o respect_n of_o another_o because_o there_o be_v few_o body_n without_o some_o pore_n few_o of_o they_o will_v prove_v to_o be_v impenetrable_a when_o they_o meet_v with_o acid_n of_o a_o extraordinary_a subtlety_n the_o fermentation_n that_o happen_v to_o dow_n to_o new_a wine_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n differ_v from_o that_o i_o now_o speak_v of_o in_o that_o it_o be_v more_o gentle_a and_o slow_a this_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o natural_a acid_n salt_n contain_v in_o they_o which_o expand_v and_o exalt_v itself_o by_o its_o motion_n do_v rarify_v and_o raise_v up_o the_o grosser_n and_o sulphureous_a part_n which_o endeavour_v to_o allay_v its_o motion_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v that_o the_o matter_n swell_v up_o the_o reason_n why_o a_o acid_n do_v not_o make_v sulphureous_a thing_n ferment_n with_o so_o much_o noise_n and_o suddenness_n as_o alkali_n be_v because_o that_o oil_n consist_v of_o pliant_a part_n that_o yield_v and_o make_v no_o resistance_n to_o the_o point_n of_o acid_n as_o a_o piece_n of_o wool_n or_o

a_o alkali_n which_o may_v be_v call_v ebullition_n and_o the_o other_o when_o a_o acid_n do_v by_o little_a and_o little_o rarify_v some_o softish_a matter_n as_o dow_n or_o clear_a and_o

compact_n and_o solid_a so_o that_o if_o you_o will_v recover_v your_o acid_n again_o you_o will_v find_v it_o have_v in_o a_o manner_n lose_v all_o its_o acidity_n and_o retain_v only_o a_o
