from the fire and looke into it you will perceive the Atoms of the Mace continually ascending from the bottom to the top or superfice of the Liquor and immediatly descending again untill the Liquor be fully saturat with the spirituous and oylie parts after which none of the powder appeareth above which will come to pass very near also soon as the Stoupe being set by a little fire shall become so hot that one can only remove it speedily from the fire The consideration of this and the Observations following did perswad me to believe that as the World is circular in its figure and motion so also the most part of one motions therein whether naturall o● artificial are of the same nature As for the naturall doe we not daily perceive first the circular motions of the coelestial Lights round about us or ou●s upon and with the Earth about some of them And have not Astronomers demonstrated the motions of some of them round their own Centres Secondly The circulation of Water in the Macrocosm according to Eccles 1. All Rivers run into the Sea yet the Sea is not ful unto the place from whence the Rivers run thither they do return again Thirdly The circulation of Blood in the Microcosm and in the bodies of all creatures which have it Fourthly Vapours ascending from the Earth into the Air and descending again in Rain Snow c. The artificiall metions also we see to be for the most part circular as in Clocks Milns Spinning-wheels c. and such as are not are either directed by a circular motion as a Ship by the circular motion of the Rudder upon its hinges of the Cart in the Compass upon the Prick and of the celestiall-bodies or much facilitated and promoved by one circular motion or other Hence it is that Chain-Pumps are most usefull in great Ships and one Horss will draw a greater weight upon a Cairt or Wagon then upon a Slade Moreover whilst the Weavers-shutle is moving in a straight line from the one side of the Web to the other doeth not the Pirn move circularly within it Finally ● the most difficult mechanical operations are most easily done by instruments moving circularly as is evident in the boreing of Mettals or Wood with Drils and Wimbles and the moe blocks that be upon a Ships tackling the sewer men will serve to load or unload therewith The following Observations doe far her prove the Artificial motions to be circular tho no● sph●rical and very pleasant to behold First Dureing the action of pure Aqua fortis upon crude Mereurie in a tra●sp●rent Glass you will clearly perceive the continual ●scent and descent of the Mercurial-Atoms betwixt the superfice and bottom of the Laquor untill it be fully sat ●at with them Secondly I did lately observe this circular motion whilst the well defecat juice of Limons was dissolving very red fi●e Coral which being totally robed of its redness as the juice of its Aciditie the Atoms remaining were almost also white as this Paper Thirdly Dureing the operation of the Acidum Vitrioli wherewith I mixed some Borage water upon the Limatura Chalybis in making the Vitriolum Martis commonly called Sal-Chalybts there is no doubt the same circular motiō which tho it cannot be discerned because of the opacitie of the Liquors yet may be concluded from alse pleasant and considerable a motion which is this When these Liquors are affused to the limatura there ariseth immediatly such a heat and ebullition that it there be not near three parts of four empty they will boyle over upon the Table This ebullition concinueth but a little and the Liquor no sooner setleth than innumerable Aqueous Atoms do constantly ascend two or three inches above its superfice to which they descend again If this operation be done in a Cupping glass as I use to doe it many of those Atoms whose taste doth demonstrat them to be impregnat with the Atoms of the Chalybs will fall upon the outside of the glass where they will lye like dew in a Summers morning The action of the Menstruum being ended this pleasant shower ceaseth Were it not better for Professors of Philosophy to pry into such Experiments wherby they might be prompted with excellent notions and arguments relative to Matter and Motion than to spend so much time upon Ens rationis universale c. which can never be usefull in Medicin save to make a man Hypochondriack and so necessitous thereof or Mechanicism so as to gain one penny thereby Many such Curiosi●ies have been little noticed by many Artists who like covetous and ignorant Travellers to the City where they expect most gain take no notice of much more pleasant places in their jurney and intending only the purchasing of coyned money doe often overlook alse good lying in some small Springs and far less make it their business to search for the Mines themselves The truth of this is fully demonstrated to any who will peruse the most ingenious and learned Physic● Theological considerations about the possibilitie of the Resurrection written by the Honorable Robert Boyle wherein by such Curiosities by him accuratly noticed he demonstrateth the possibility of that great Article of our Christian faith viz. The Resurrection of the dead at the great day of general judgment for the further confirmation of which we may also consider the forementioned circular motion in relation to our own Bodies and Soules Seeing it is undenyable that we cam from the Earth and do daily return unto it by death and that our spirits doe then return to God who gave them Why should any rational creature doubt of the Soul its returning unto the Body its old habitation or of the return of both to God for ever seeing he who is Almighty hath given his Word for it I shall conclude this part of this Section with regrateing the custom of many who geting Wine that is decayed in its colour and taste and consequently as to its 〈◊〉 by burning it with Mace Cloves c. they exhaust the most part of its remaining spirits and the best of those in the Spyces and hen drink the worst of both For when the spirits are by distillation separated from the best of Wines that which remaineth in the Still is liker to fresh Vrine than to any other liquor It were then much better only to infuse those Spyces in such Wine and by all means to retain the remaing spirits by the clos●ess of the vessel Secondly Mace is medicinally made use of in a more compound way and that either intire or in its parts First Intire as a most excellent corrective of all Purgatives or mixed with other Aromaticks in a omaticall Powders Tablets Electuaries or Spirits Secondly In its parts and that either Internally or Externally Internally there is no better Oyle for mixing with Stomachick Cephalick or Splenetick Piles c than is its liquide Then what an excellent Elixir must it make when associa ●o
