be_v make_v most_o common_o from_o a_o ash-coloured_a bass_n and_o be_v frequent_o mix_v with_o white_a vitriol_n as_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o oar_n in_o lancashire_n and_o derbyshire_n the_o feather_a alum_n as_o be_v note_v before_o be_v often_o find_v in_o red_a marle_n near_o thernham_n in_o lancashire_n the_o use_v of_o these_o be_v so_o notorious_a i_o shall_v not_o insist_v upon_o they_o the_o next_o mineral_n that_o bear_v the_o near_a affinity_n to_o its_o salt_n be_v the_o downham-diamond_n these_o as_o we_o hint_v be_v cast_v up_o by_o the_o mole_n and_o in_o those_o little_a mountain_n often_o discover_v after_o shower_n of_o rain_n i_o have_v see_v some_o of_o they_o as_o dazzle_v as_o those_o from_o india_n and_o will_v likewise_o for_o some_o time_n cut_v

refer_v my_o reader_n only_o in_o short_a i_o shall_v give_v you_o my_o own_o conjecture_n which_o be_v that_o i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v a_o composition_n of_o saline_n and_o terrene_a particle_n perhaps_o not_o unlike_o those_o of_o the_o most_o refine_a sparr_n and_o in_o this_o i_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o calcination_n of_o they_o in_o which_o i_o can_v discover_v a_o perfect_a vitriolic_a taste_n and_o find_v a_o cretaceous_a matter_n but_o this_o i_o presume_v be_v in_o that_o small_a proportion_n and_o so_o curious_o interweave_v with_o the_o saline_a particle_n that_o the_o whole_a body_n become_v transparent_a as_o we_o see_v in_o those_o of_o glass_n the_o like_a phaenomena_n be_v observable_a the_o next_o mineral_n to_o be_v prosecute_v be_v the_o sulphur_n of_o which_o various_a kind_n be_v observable_a in_o these_o country_n as_o in_o mine_n metal_n and_o mineral_n and_o these_o as_o they_o be_v unite_v with_o different_a body_n may_v be_v range_v into_o several_a class_n some_o may_v be_v call_v vitriolic_a sulphur_n because_o consist_v of_o oily_a and_o vitriolic_a particle_n and_o form_v that_o body_n which_o we_o common_o call_v brimstone_n and_o these_o be_v observable_a in_o coal-mine_n mineral-base_n oar_n metal_n and_o mineral_n other_o be_v oleaginous_a sulphur_n as_o the_o halitus_fw-la in_o the_o burning-well_a near_o wigan_n the_o sulphur-damps_a in_o several_a mine_n and_o the_o burn_a turf_n near_o halls-hall_n and_o a_o sulphur_n different_a from_o all_o these_o be_v observable_a in_o lead_n copper_n and_o the_o pyrite_n but_o to_o give_v a_o clear_a idea_n of_o all_o these_o i_o shall_v delineate_v their_o several_a effect_n by_o which_o the_o reader_n will_v the_o better_a judge_n of_o their_o constituent_a part_n i_o shall_v therefore_o in_o the_o next_o place_n proceed_v to_o the_o oily_a and_o metallic_n sulphur_n the_o oily_a sulphur_n be_v easy_o inflammable_a but_o in_o their_o burn_a have_v no_o smell_n these_o be_v observable_a in_o the_o burning-well_a near_o wigan_n and_o the_o burn_a damp_n in_o coal-mine_n as_o be_v before_o hint_v sometime_o these_o take_v fire_n by_o collision_n and_o sometime_o by_o accension_n as_o from_o the_o flame_n of_o the_o candle_n the_o miner_n work_v with_o and_o then_o too_o often_o produce_v dismal_a effect_n as_o the_o blow_a man_n out_o of_o the_o shaft_n scorch_v they_o to_o death_n and_o sometime_o destroy_v the_o work_n the_o effect_n of_o these_o be_v as_o fatal_a as_o those_o of_o lightning_n and_o frequent_o present_v we_o with_o very_o odd_a phaenomena_n as_o the_o rend_n in_o piece_n prodigious_a rock_n eject_v several_a great_a stone_n perpendicular_a with_o a_o thousand_o other_o disaster_n in_o the_o work_n from_o these_o thing_n to_o i_o it_o seem_v plain_a the_o wonderful_a effect_n produce_v from_o lightning_n upon_o animal_n be_v chief_o from_o their_o sulphureous_a particle_n by_o a_o total_a and_o sudden_a

the_o sulphur_n be_v benign_a or_o poisonous_a hence_o it_o be_v that_o common_a brimstone_n may_v more_o safe_o be_v take_v because_o it_o contain_v a_o mild_a acid_n but_o the_o sulphur_n of_o
