I had begun to look more deeply into the matter I perceived I had gotten a far more large Province Because it plainly appeared besides these of Art very many Works of Nature to be not only like but themselves the effects of Fermentation For when for the solving of the Phoenomenas which are met with about the swelling up of the mealy Mass and the working of Wine and of other Liquors I had Composed divers Arguments Reasons and Hypotheses I found at length those first begotten Particles by whose Orgasm or Heat those vulgar preparations do Ferment to beget the Causes of motions and alterations in whatever things they are mix'd with besides wherefore I may be pardoned if I have strayed far from our proposition and have seemed to any one to have heaped together here too plentiful an Harvest of Matter because I was wholly led by the same thrid of Ratiocination and the most conjunct Affinity of things to these various and diverse Concretes If any one shall object that I prostitute the unusual Notions and almost only heard of in the Shops of the Chymists unhandsomly among the works of ordinary people I say these Principles which being brought indeed to perform the self moving motions of Natural things also more easily to represent them to the vulgar capacity and lay them not only before their Eyes but even into their very Hands what of these kind of substances I call Particles men tho rude and unskilful may perceive even by the help of their senses to be in the things besides the names of Sulphur Salt and Spirit and the rest are more familiarly known than Matter and Form or the four Principles of the Peripateticks As to our method and manner of Philosophizing no man can blame me if I should not here describe all things according to Rule and Analytick Patterns because in this Work it chances for me to wander without a Guide or Companion in solitary places and as it were in a solitude trodden by no footsteps where I not only make a Journey but my way also therefore when ever I deviate I cannot be said to err among right Judges of our endeavours who have no Path in which I should Walk nor could find a Track which I might fear to miss ON THE AUTHORS Medical-Philosophical Discourses THE intricate and hidden cause of things Both Peace and Strife by what means Nature brings What various motions Bodies do inspire What mixes with the Waters quenchless Fire What Bonds the Elements together tye Before this happyer Age unfolded lye Things hid to former Ages and unknown The Secrets of the world to all are shown Metals dug from the Bowels of the Earth Tho they from Phoebus boast their Heavenly birth We without light dark and obscure behold And Splendor's found only in burnisht Gold Iron unknown lay hidden without light By Slaves wrought from the Mine grows dazeling bright This to whole Troops confusion doth afford Wit which first fram'd stoops to the Victor Sword We thus of old did Nature search in vain Our Arts did only i th' outward bark remain But now we her hid mysteries unfold And the great secrets of the world behold Better than us herself can hardly tell What Love doth far within high Mountains dwell What flame first gives the Marble Quarry birth To Metals forms blind Rudiments of Earth And the hard child doth to perfection bring Why Earth shows her rich Treasures in the Spring And shines made brave with her own Native flowers What gentle gales and what sweet moistning showers Do on the pregnant Goddess Seed bestow Whilst Heavenly Iris mounts the Cloudy Bow Why Ceres swells with watery Nymphs embrace What Strife what Wars spring from hot Bacchus race What Vulcan doth th' Aetnean Fornace blow What doth soft fires thorow all Bodies throw What Spirit nimbly moves the human frame Whence Milky juice here there a Purple stream Watering the Body whence the Crimson flood And the quick Circulation of the blood What hidden fires in veins and intrals burn Which do the boyling Blood to Feavers turn What mixes freezing cold with parching heat And makes the different Zones together meet Whence comes the Pestilence with Stygian breath Riding on blasting Winds and arm'd with death What Prophesying Humor through the Reins doth pass What colour and what odor in the Glass All things lye open now He did not know So much to whom Prometheus did bestow His stollen fires We now every part Of the whole Earth compass about with Art He 's happy who Causes of things can shew Sacred to Nature and to Phoebus too About his Temples Delphic Laurels spread And flames of lightning ne'r shall blast his head Whom Hermes doth with Sacred Arts imbue Whose Labours Learning out of Darkness drew May all 's days happy be may he shine bright And may he still enjoy Coelestial light May no Disease infect with poysonous breath Him who gains Health from Sickness Life from Death OF FERMENTATION OR THE Inorganical Motion OF NATVRAL BODIES CHAP. I. Of the Principles of Natural things THere is nothing more rarely to be met with in the Vulgar Philosophy where Natural things are unfolded with the vain figments of Forms and Qualities than the word Fermentation but among the more sound especially of later years who respect the Matter and Motion chiefly in Bodies nothing is almost more usual But Fermentation hath its name from Fervescency as Ferment from Ferviment or growing hot The word is well known in making of Bread and in the purgings of new Wine Beer and other potable Liquors thence it is also applyed to other things which are wont to swell or grow turgid after the same manner that at length it signifies whatsoever Effervency or Turgency that is raised up in a Natural Body by particles of that Body variously agitated Bodies of a divers Consistency and Habitude are apt to a Fermenting viz. either Thin or Thick Liquid or Solid Animate or Inanimate Natural or Artificial in all which is found an Heterogeneity of parts or particles to wit there are in them some substances light and always endeavouring to fly away and also there are others thick earthy and more fix'd which intangle the subtil Particles and detein them in their Embraces whilst they endeavour to fly away from the strivings and wrestlings of these two twins in one Womb the motion of Fermentation chiefly proceeds but on the contrary what things do not Ferment for the most part consist of like Particles and are of the same Figure and Conformation which indeed consociat among themselves without any Tumult or Turgescency lye quiet and enjoy a deep peace If Must or new Wine or new Ale or Beer be closely Bottl'd up or put into Vessels of small vent they will grow so very hot that often the Vessels are in danger of breaking But if the same Liquors being Distilled by themselves and then what is seperated shut up from thence no motion or heat will follow Wherefore Distilled
