fast_o upon_o us._n the_o dainty_a smell_v of_o flower_n be_v out_o of_o those_o plant_n who_o leave_n smell_v not_o as_o violet_n rose_n wall-flower_n gillyflower_n pink_n woodbine_n vine-flower_n apple-bloome_n lime-tree_n bloom_n beane-bloome_n etc._n etc._n the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o where_o there_o be_v heat_n and_o strength_n enough_o in_o the_o plant_n to_o make_v the_o leave_v odorate_v there_o the_o smell_n of_o the_o flower_n be_v rather_o euanide_v and_o weak_a than_o that_o of_o the_o leave_n as_o it_o be_v in_o rose-mary-flower_n lavender-flower_n and_o sweet-briar-rose_n but_o where_o there_o be_v less_o heat_n there_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o plant_n be_v digest_v and_o refine_v and_o fever_v from_o the_o grosser_n juice_n in_o the_o esstorescence_n and_o not_o before_o most_o odour_n smell_v best_a break_v or_o crush_v as_o have_v be_v say_v but_o flower_n press_v or_o beat_v do_v lose_v the_o freshness_n and_o sweetness_n of_o their_o odour_n the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o when_o they_o be_v crush_v the_o grosser_n and_o more_o earthy_a spirit_n come_v out_o with_o the_o fine_a and_o trouble_v it_o whereas_o in_o strong_a odour_n there_o be_v no_o such_o degree_n of_o the_o issue_n of_o the_o smell_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o very_a good_a use_n to_o discover_v the_o goodness_n of_o water_n water_n the_o taste_n to_o those_o that_o drink_v water_n only_o do_v somewhat_o but_o other_o experiment_n be_v more_o sure_a first_o try_v water_n by_o weight_n wherein_o you_o may_v find_v some_o difference_n though_o not_o much_o and_o the_o light_a you_o may_v account_v the_o better_a second_o try_v they_o by_o boil_a upon_o a_o equal_a fire_n and_o that_o which_o consume_v away_o fast_o you_o may_v account_v the_o

that_o which_o hold_v vnputrify_v long_a you_o may_v likewise_o account_v the_o best_a four_o try_v they_o by_o make_v drink_v strong_a or_o smaller_n with_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o malt_n and_o you_o may_v conclude_v that_o that_o water_n which_o make_v the_o strong_a drink_n be_v the_o more_o concoct_v and_o nou-rishing_a though_o perhaps_o it_o be_v not_o so_o good_a for_o medicinal_a

also_o help_v concoction_n so_o it_o be_v out_o of_o a_o deep_a well_o for_o than_o it_o cure_v the_o rawness_n of_o the_o water_n but_o chalky_a water_n towards_o the_o top_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v

the_o bear_v or_o not_o bear_v of_o soap_n and_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o the_o more_o fat_a water_n will_v bear_v soap_n best_a for_o the_o hungry_a water_n do_v kill_v the_o unctuous_a nature_n of_o the_o soap_n six_o you_o may_v make_v a_o judgement_n of_o water_n according_a to_o the_o place_n whence_o they_o spring_n or_o come_v the_o rain-water_n be_v by_o the_o physician_n esteem_v the_o fine_a and_o the_o best_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v say_v to_o putrify_v soon_a which_o be_v likely_a because_o of_o the_o fineness_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o conseruatory_n of_o rainwater_n such_o as_o they_o have_v in_o venice_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v and_o not_o so_o choice_a water_n the_o worse_a perhaps_o because_o they_o be_v cover_v aloft_o and_o keep_v from_o the_o sun_n snow-water_n be_v hold_v unwholesome_a in_o so_o much_o as_o the_o people_n that_o dwell_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o snowmountaine_n or_o otherwise_o upon_o the_o ascent_n especial_o the_o woman_n by_o drink_v of_o snow-water_n have_v great_a bag_n hang_v under_o their_o throat_n wellwater_n except_o it_o be_v upon_o chalk_n or_o a_o very_a plentiful_a spring_n make_v meat_n red_a which_o be_v a_o ill_a sign_n spring_n on_o the_o top_n of_o high-hill_n be_v the_o best_a for_o both_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o lightness_n and_o appetite_n of_o mount_v and_o beside_o they_o be_v most_o

the_o same_o level_n whereas_o spring_n on_o the_o top_n of_o hill_n pass_v through_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o pure_a earth_n with_o less_o mixture_n of_o other_o water_n seven_o judgement_n may_v be_v make_v of_o water_n by_o the_o soil_n whereupon_o the_o water_n run_v as_o pibble_n be_v the_o clean_a and_o best_a taste_v and_o next_o to_o that_o clay-water_n and_o three_o water_n upon_o chalk_n four_o that_o upon_o sand_n and_o worst_a of_o all_o upon_o mud_n neither_o may_v you_o trust_v water_n that_o taste_v sweet_a for_o they_o be_v common_o find_v in_o rise_v ground_n of_o great_a city_n which_o must_v needs_o take_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o filth_n in_o peru_n and_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o west_n indies_n though_o under_o the_o line_n the_o heat_n be_v not_o so_o intolerable_a as_o they_o be_v in_o barbary_n and_o the_o skirt_n of_o the_o torrid_a zone_n equinoctial_a the_o cause_n be_v first_o the_o great_a brize_n which_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n in_o great_a circle_n such_o as_o be_v under_o the_o girdle_n of_o the_o world_n produce_v which_o do_v refrigerate_v and_o therefore_o in_o those_o part_n noon_n be_v nothing_o so_o hot_a when_o the_o brize_n be_v great_a as_o about_o nine_o or_o ten_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o forenoon_n another_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o the_o length_n of_o the_o night_n and_o the_o dew_n thereof_o do_v compense_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n a_o three_o cause_n be_v the_o stay_n of_o the_o sun_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o day_n and_o night_n for_o that_o we_o speak_v of_o before_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o season_n for_o under_o the_o line_n the_o sun_n cross_v the_o line_n and_o make_v two_o summer_n and_o two_o winter_n but_o in_o the_o skirt_n of_o the_o torrid_a zone_n it_o double_v and_o go_v back_o again_o and_o so_o make_v one_o long_a summer_n the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n make_v man_n black_a in_o some_o country_n as_o in_o aethiopia_n and_o ginny_n etc._n etc._n moor_n fire_n do_v it_o not_o as_o we_o see_v in_o glasseman_n that_o be_v continual_o about_o the_o fire_n the_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o fire_n do_v lick_v up_o the_o spirit_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o body_n so_o as_o they_o exhale_v so_o that_o it_o ever_o make_v man_n look_v pale_a and_o sallow_a but_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v a_o gentle_a heat_n do_v but_o draw_v the_o blood_n to_o the_o outward_a part_n and_o rather_o concoot_v it_o than_o soak_v it_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o all_o aethiape_n be_v fleshy_a and_o plump_a and_o have_v great_a lip_n all_o which_o betoken_v moisture_n retain_v and_o not_o draw_v out_o we_o see_v also_o that_o the_o negro_n be_v breed_v in_o country_n that_o have_v plenty_n of_o water_n by_o river_n or_o otherwise_o for_o meroe_n which_o be_v the_o metropolis_n of_o aethiopia_n be_v upon_o a_o great_a lake_n and_o congo_n where_o the_o negro_n be_v be_v full_a of_o rivers_n and_o the_o confine_n of_o the_o river_n niger_n where_o the_o negro_n also_o be_v be_v well_o water_v and_o the_o region_n about_o capo_n verde_v be_v likewise_o moist_a in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v pestilent_a through_o moisture_n but_o the_o country_n of_o the_o abyssenes_n and_o barbary_n and_o peru._n where_o they_o be_v tawny_a and_o olivaster_n and_o pale_a be_v general_o more_o sandy_a and_o dry._n as_o for_o the_o aethiope_n as_o they_o be_v plump_a and_o fleshy_a so_o it_o may_v be_v they_o be_v sanguine_a and_o ruddy_a colour_a if_o their_o black_a skin_n will_v suffer_v it_o to_o be_v see_v some_o creature_n do_v move_v a_o good_a while_n after_o their_o head_n be_v off_o as_o bird_n some_o a_o very_a little_a time_n as_o man_n and_o all_o beast_n some_o move_n though_o cut_v in_o feverall_a piece_n as_o snake_n eel_n worm_n fly_n etc._n etc._n death_n first_o therefore_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o death_n be_v the_o resolution_n or_o extinguishment_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o the_o destruction_n or_o corruption_n of_o the_o organ_n be_v but_o the_o

gather_v together_o into_o the_o fashion_n of_o a_o purse_n and_o break_v upon_o the_o forehead_n or_o back_o of_o the_o hand_n as_o child_n use_v the_o cause_n give_v of_o sound_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o elision_n of_o the_o air_n whereby_o if_o they_o mean_v any_o thing_n they_o mean_v a_o cut_v or_o divide_v or_o else_o a_o attenuate_a of_o the_o air_n be_v but_o a_o term_n of_o ignorance_n and_o the_o motion_n be_v but_o a_o catch_n of_o the_o wit_n upon_o a_o few_o instance_n as_o the_o manner_n be_v in_o the_o philosophy_n receive_v therein_o and_o it_o be_v common_a with_o man_n that_o if_o they_o have_v get_v a_o pretty_a expression_n by_o a_o word_n of_o art_n that_o expression_n go_v currant_n though_o it_o be_v empty_a of_o matter_n this_o conceit_n of_o elision_n appear_v most_o manifest_o to_o befalse_a in_o that_o the_o sound_v of_o a_o bell_n string_n or_o the_o like_a continue_v melt_v some_o time_n after_o the_o percussion_n but_o cease_v straightway_n if_o the_o bell_n or_o string_n be_v touch_v and_o stay_v whereas_o if_o it_o be_v the_o elision_n of_o the_o air_n that_o make_v the_o sound_n it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o the_o touch_v of_o the_o bell_n or_o string_n shall_v extinguish_v so_o sudden_o that_o motion_n cause_v by_o the_o elision_n of_o the_o air_n this_o appear_v yet_o more_o manifest_o by_o chime_a with_o a_o hammer_n upon_o the_o outside_n of_o a_o bell_n for_o the_o sound_n will_v be_v according_a to_o the_o inward_a concave_a of_o the_o bell_n whereas_o the_o elision_n or_o attenuation_n of_o the_o air_n can_v be_v but_o only_o between_o the_o hammer_n and_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o bell_n so_o again_o if_o it_o be_v a_o elision_n a_o broad_a hammer_n and_o a_o bodkin_n strike_v upon_o metal_n will_v give_v a_o diverse_a tone_n as_o well_o as_o a_o diverse_a loudness_n but_o they_o do_v not_o so_o for_o though_o the_o sound_v of_o the_o one_o be_v louder_n and_o of_o the_o other_o soft_a yet_o the_o tone_n be_v the_o same_o beside_o in_o echo_n whereof_o some_o be_v as_o loud_o as_o the_o original_a voice_n there_o be_v no_o new_a elision_n but_o a_o repercussion_n only_o but_o that_o which_o convince_v it_o most_o of_o all_o be_v that_o sound_v be_v generate_v where_o there_o be_v no_o air_n at_o all_o but_o these_o and_o the_o like_a conceit_n when_o man_n have_v clear_v their_o understanding_n by_o the_o light_n of_o experience_n will_v scatter_v and_o break_v up_o like_o a_o mist._n it_o be_v certain_a that_o sound_n be_v not_o produce_v at_o the_o first_o but_o with_o some_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n or_o flame_n or_o some_o other_o medium_fw-la nor_o yet_o without_o some_o resistance_n either_o in_o the_o air_n or_o the_o body_n percuss_v for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o mere_a yield_v or_o session_n it_o produce_v no_o sound_n as_o have_v be_v say_v and_o therein_o sound_v differ_v from_o light_n and_o colour_n which_o pass_v through_o the_o air_n or_o other_o body_n without_o any_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n either_o at_o the_o first_o or_o after_o but_o you_o must_v attentive_o distinguish_v between_o the_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n which_o be_v but_o vehiculum_fw-la caussae_fw-la a_o carrier_n of_o the_o sound_n and_o the_o sound_v themselves_o convey_v in_o the_o air_n for_o as_o to_o the_o former_a we_o see_v manifest_o that_o no_o sound_n be_v produce_v no_o not_o by_o aire_n itself_o against_o other_o air_n as_o in_o organ_n etc._n etc._n but_o with_o a_o perceptible_a blast_n of_o the_o air_n and_o with_o some_o resistance_n of_o the_o air_n strike_v for_o even_o all_o speech_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o gentle_a motion_n of_o air_n be_v with_o expulsion_n of_o a_o little_a breath_n and_o all_o pipe_n have_v a_o blast_n as_o well_o as_o a_o sound_n we_o see_v also_o manifest_o that_o sound_v be_v carry_v with_o wind_n and_o therefore_o sound_v will_v be_v hear_v further_o with_o the_o wind_n than_o against_o the_o wind_n and_o likewise_o do_v rise_v and_o fall_v with_o the_o intention_n or_o remission_n of_o the_o wind._n but_o for_o the_o impression_n of_o the_o sound_n it_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n and_o be_v utter_o without_o any_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n perceptible_a and_o in_o that_o resemble_v the_o species_n visible_a for_o after_o a_o man_n have_v lure_v or_o a_o bell_n be_v ring_v we_o can_v discern_v any_o perceptible_a motion_n at_o all_o in_o the_o air_n a_o long_a as_o the_o sound_n go_v but_o only_o at_o the_o first_o neither_o do_v the_o wind_n as_o far_o as_o it_o carry_v a_o voice_n with_o the_o motion_n thereof_o confound_v any_o of_o the_o delicate_a and_o articulate_v figuration_n of_o the_o air_n in_o variety_n of_o word_n and_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v a_o good_a loudness_n against_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o candle_n it_o will_v not_o make_v it_o tremble_v much_o though_o most_o when_o those_o letter_n be_v pronounce_v which_o contract_v the_o mouth_n as_o f_o s_o v_o and_o some_o other_o but_o gentle_a breathe_v or_o blow_v without_o speak_v will_v move_v the_o candle_n far_o more_o and_o it_o be_v the_o more_o probable_a that_o sound_n be_v without_o any_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n because_o as_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o sight_n in_o that_o it_o need_v a_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n at_o first_o so_o it_o parallele_v in_o so_o many_o other_o thing_n with_o the_o sight_n and_o radiation_n of_o thing_n visible_a which_o without_o all_o question_n induce_v no_o local_a motion_n in_o the_o air_n as_o have_v be_v say_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v true_a that_o upon_o the_o noise_n of_o thunder_n and_o great_a ordnance_n glass_n window_n will_v shake_v and_o fish_n be_v think_v to_o be_v fray_v with_o the_o motion_n cause_v by_o noise_n upon_o the_o water_n but_o these_o effect_n be_v from_o the_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n which_o be_v a_o concomitant_a of_o the_o sound_n as_o have_v be_v say_v and_o not_o from_o the_o sound_n it_o have_v be_v ancient_o report_v and_o be_v still_o receive_v that_o extreme_a applanses_n and_o shout_v of_o people_n assemble_v in_o great_a multitude_n have_v so_o rarify_v and_o break_v the_o air_n that_o bird_n fly_v over_o have_v fall_v down_o the_o air_n be_v not_o able_a to_o support_v they_o and_o it_o be_v believe_v by_o some_o that_o great_a ring_n of_o bell_n in_o populous_a city_n have_v chase_v away_o thunder_n and_o also_o dissipate_v pestilent_a air_n all_o which_o may_v be_v also_o from_o the_o concussion_n of_o the_o air_n and_o not_o from_o the_o sound_n a_o very_a great_a sound_n near_a hand_n have_v strike_v many_o dease_n and_o at_o the_o instant_a they_o have_v find_v as_o it_o be_v the_o break_n of_o a_o skin_n or_o
