Wherein it is proved by reason and experience, that the vitrioline fountain is equall (and not inferiour) to the Germain spaw.

Mistresse Rolf of Hadley in the County of Suffolk having occasion to give a visit to some of her neer friends in Yorkeshire within a few weeks of her stay there she found her self suddenly surprized with extraordinary sharp fits which by their symptoms did manifestly appear to be the stone Hereupon she applied her self to the Physitians advice but finding little or no ease by their prescriptions though probable ones she was perswaded to try the new water at Knaresborow where she had not continued above a fortnight but she voided many stones to the number of an hundred bigger and lesse whereby she was quit of all her pain and hath ever since continued in health free from all manner of annoyance in that kinde Henry Curra of Whardale in the Western parts of Yorkeshire servant to Sr. Peter Middleton about the age of 50 years having suffered much pain for divers years his fits of the stone being so violent that he was not able to rid on horse back or to ly in his bed an hour together without rising nothing that he could take affording him any ease he went at last to the Spaw Spring where having drunk the water about a month he voided divers stones some whereof he hath to shew being bigger then a great Pea. He returned home eased of all his pain he recovered his strength and is now well able to ride about his occasions without any disturbance nor hath he ever since being now three years had any fits worthy of complaint Henry Rowly of Linton near Weatherby in Yorkeshire of the age of sixty years much perplexed a long time with the stopping of his water by his repair to the Spaw voided much gravell and from that time was no more troubled so long as he lived Mistresse Barker of Doare in Darbeshire about the age of 34 years had a dangerous ulcer in her Kidney besides a very obstructed body wherewith she was brought so low that she was not able to go without the support of one or two her stomack had lost its appetite not able through weaknesse to digest any meat no nor the most apt broaths that could be made so that she was forced to sustain nature by returning to her infant pap In this weak and desperate condition having formerly not spared to use all the helps that could be devised by the Physitian she was gently brought to the Spaw not expecting as she told me her self to be recovered onely she thought it not fit to be wanting to any means that might be propounded It pleased God to give such a blessing in the use of the water which she daily drunk as well as she was able that within a few dayes there came from her an incredible deal of putrid matter which gave her such ease that by degrees she gathered strength her inward parts were deopilated her stomack restored and within the compasse of five weeks she was to the wonder of all that had taken notice of her reduced to a most apparent state of health and ability of body I seeing her this Summer 1631. at the Spaw for it was the foregoing year she had received her Cure and this year came onely to the water to confirm her self could not but admire to behold so fresh a look and so well-liking a body considering the report of her former exceeding weaknesse I will not say it were time lost but it might be better spent then to multiply all the known examples in this kind the foregoing ones being of sufficient proof to make good the waters efficatious use in the infirmity of the stone Not that I am to seek for more for I might but that I willingly avoid superfluous tediousnes adde to the other Mistresse Ellis wife to Mr. Ellis Minister at Beaverley who received a wondrous cure in the like ulcerated part Mistresse May a Citizens wife of York who after many years trouble being of great age was absolutely freed from her long continued fits of the stone with divers others whom I purposely omit nothing being more ordinary that others may come into play though of a differing kind yet of remarkable note For Melancholy and Splenetique effects there are few or none that I have ever yet heard of who have repaired to this Spaw water but have found extraordinary ease and a great abatement of those disturbances which are the ordinary unwelcome attendants of that distemper Amongst others Mr. Sacheveril of Derbishire hearing of this Spaw water came to York to advise with D. Dean who after he had fitly prepared his body a rule grosly omitted by many sent him to Knaresborow to drink of the water being in the year 1630 to his great relief For whereas he had been exceedingly long time perplexed with many fearfull passions and
