substance_n maginus_fw-la make_v mention_n of_o a_o lake_n in_o ireland_n in_o the_o bottone_n whereof_o if_o you_o put_v a_o staff_n it_o will_v be_v pull_v out_o some_o month_n after_o be_v turn_v

that_o wash_v himself_o shall_v never_o become_v grey_a i_o can_v reckon_v up_o many_o more_o water_n of_o very_o strange_a nature_n but_o whether_o they_o or_o these_o already_o mention_v be_v all_o certain_o true_a i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o affirm_v only_o thus_o much_o i_o will_v say_v that_o some_o of_o they_o i_o myself_o have_v see_v other_o some_o i_o be_o assure_v of_o from_o those_o who_o unquestionable_a worth_n may_v just_o command_v i_o and_o other_o man_n faith_n to_o their_o indeniable_a testimony_n and_o for_o the_o rest_n we_o may_v believe_v they_o according_a to_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o historian_n these_o here_o i_o mention_v that_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v strange_a to_o we_o how_o capable_a water_n be_v of_o receive_v diversity_n of_o

natural_a chap._n iv._o of_o the_o nature_n and_o virtue_n of_o simple_a water_n i_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o better_a conceive_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o virtue_n of_o mineral_n water_n in_o particular_a to_o speak_v something_o of_o the_o nature_n and_o virtue_n of_o water_n in_o general_a or_o of_o simple_a water_n which_o be_v a_o element_n as_o say_v sendivogius_n most_o heavy_a full_a of_o unctuous_a phlegm_n and_o be_v more_o worthy_a in_o its_o kind_n than_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v without_o volatile_a but_o within_o fix_a cold_a and_o moist_a attemper_v by_o air_n it_o be_v the_o sperm_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o the_o seed_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v preserve_v and_o it_o be_v the_o keeper_n of_o every_o thing_n it_o be_v call_v by_o the_o ancient_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o thales_n as_o say_v aristotle_n call_v one_o and_o the_o same_o water_n the_o beginning_n of_o all_o thing_n empedocles_n also_o believe_v that_o of_o water_n be_v all_o thing_n make_v hippon_n also_o say_v aristotle_n call_v it_o the_o soul_n of_o thing_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o life_n of_o they_o which_o make_v hypocrates_n say_v that_o water_n and_o fire_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o life_n and_o especial_o water_n for_o say_v he_o many_o animal_n may_v want_v fire_n but_o none_o can_v well_o live_v without_o water_n theophrastus_n affirm_v that_o water_n be_v the_o matter_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o indeed_o if_o water_n be_v accurate_o anotamize_v you_o shall_v clear_o see_v that_o both_o vegetable_n mineral_n and_o animal_n be_v generate_v of_o water_n but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v treat_v more_o large_o else_o where_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o stand_v to_o repeat_v especial_o since_o my_o purpose_n here_o be_v chief_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o medicinal_a virtue_n of_o water_n now_o we_o must_v know_v that_o water_n be_v twofold_a for_o either_o it_o be_v simple_a or_o mineral_n which_o we_o more_o usual_o call_v medicinal_a water_n be_v call_v simple_a not_o according_a to_o its_o own_o nature_n but_o to_o our_o sense_n or_o be_v compare_v with_o that_o which_o be_v mineral_n and_o of_o this_o there_o be_v five_o kind_n viz._n rain_n fountain_n pit_n river_n and_o stand_v water_n i_o shall_v not_o here_o stand_v to_o prove_v whether_o or_o no_o water_n be_v nutritive_a or_o be_v only_o a_o vehiculum_fw-la of_o aliment_n as_o galen_n will_v have_v it_o because_o in_o another_o treatise_n i_o have_v clear_o show_v how_o vegetable_n animal_n and_o mineral_n be_v generate_v of_o and_o increase_v by_o water_n which_o have_v such_o strange_a dissimilary_n or_o heterogeneal_a part_n as_o can_v scarce_o be_v believe_v by_o those_o who_o never_o see_v the_o spagyrical_a anatomy_n thereof_o or_o curious_o examine_v the_o production_n of_o all_o natural_a thing_n i_o shall_v insist_v only_o upon_o the_o medicinal_a use_n thereof_o as_o be_v administer_v either_o to_o prevent_v or_o cure_v the_o distemper_n of_o the_o body_n simple_a water_n which_o cool_v and_o moisten_v be_v either_o take_v inward_o or_o use_v outward_o it_o be_v take_v inward_o either_o warm_a or_o cold_a the_o virtue_n of_o warm-water_n take_v inward_o be_v these_o which_o follow_v viz._n 1._o it_o do_v by_o reason_n of_o its_o warmth_n cause_n nauseouseness_n and_o it_o be_v drink_v in_o a_o great_a quantity_n to_o cause_v vomit_v in_o headache_n proceed_v from_o drunkenness_n and_o in_o any_o other_o illness_n of_o stomach_n but_o with_o this_o caution_n that_o they_o that_o have_v very_o cold_a weak_a and_o laxated_a stomach_n must_v abstain_v from_o this_o kind_n of_o vomit_n because_o warm_a water_n do_v moisten_v very_o much_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n will_v laxate_v that_o stomach_n more_o than_o it_o be_v before_o also_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v administer_v to_o those_o that_o be_v accustom_v to_o drink_v of_o water_n for_o they_o it_o will_v not_o move_v to_o vomit_v but_o remain_v in_o the_o body_n and_o weaken_v the_o vessel_n upon_o the_o aforesaid_a account_n of_o its_o extreme_a moisten_v 2._o it_o allay_v sharp_a acid_a and_o gnaw_a humour_n and_o cure_v such_o symptom_n as_o proceed_v from_o thence_o as_o say_v galen_n also_o it_o repress_v the_o ebullition_n of_o choler_n and_o help_v the_o inflammation_n of_o the_o throat_n and_o mouth_n cause_v thereby_o as_o say_v aetius_n 3._o it_o cure_v the_o inflammation_n of_o the_o reins_o by_o alter_v of_o they_o if_o it_o be_v take_v before_o meal_n note_v that_o if_o warm_a water_n be_v give_v to_o cause_v vomit_v it_o must_v be_v administer_v to_o the_o quantity_n of_o a_o pint_n or_o two_o or_o of_o as_o much_o as_o will_v be_v sufficient_a thereunto_o but_o if_o it_o be_v use_v for_o qualification_n it_o must_v be_v take_v to_o the_o quantity_n of_o a_o cup_n only_o which_o may_v not_o cause_v nauseousness_n the_o use_n and_o virtue_n of_o cold_a water_n be_v these_o viz._n 1._o it_o conduce_v

the_o operation_n of_o any_o medicine_n that_o be_v take_v and_o work_v not_o beside_o it_o suppress_v the_o fume_n of_o vapour_n to_o the_o head_n as_o say_v dioscorides_n and_o mesue_v and_o be_v
