bittern_n will_v rise_v in_o the_o fire_n and_o come_v over_o i_o do_v not_o say_v yield_v good_a spirit_n of_o salt_n and_o the_o gent._n be_v much_o mistake_v in_o suppose_v the_o spirit_n be_v inconsiderable_a to_o what_o remain_v or_o that_o bittern_n have_v 4_o part_n of_o alkali_n to_o one_o of_o acid._n for_o as_o i_o say_v it_o leave_v nothing_o behind_o but_o a_o insipid_a white_a earth_n and_o that_o be_v inconsiderable_a to_o what_o come_v over_o if_o it_o be_v skilful_o distil_v nor_o will_v that_o earth_n cause_n thirst_n so_o much_o as_o say_v it_o in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o bittern_n i_o do_v not_o believe_v he_o ever_o see_v soap_n make_v of_o bittern_n as_o he_o say_v but_o i_o know_v soap_n may_v be_v make_v with_o a_o very_a little_a alkali_n but_o the_o gent._n conclude_v he_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o i_o can_v produce_v a_o catalogue_n of_o medicine_n equaly_a efficacious_a in_o the_o cure_n of_o disease_n with_o mercur._n dole_n turp_v

if_o the_o use_n of_o alkaly_n can_v be_v thus_o demonstrate_v he_o shall_v remain_v a_o proselyte_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o acid_n and_o thus_o say_v he_o he_o have_v give_v his_o thought_n in_o answer_n to_o those_o objection_n that_o seem_v most_o material_a in_o the_o dialogue_n but_o have_v omit_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o have_v not_o a_o relation_n to_o acid_n and_o alkaly_n be_v the_o cause_n or_o cure_n of_o disease_n and_o in_o so_o do_v hope_v he_o have_v answer_v the_o doctor_n be_v request_n i_o answer_v i_o can_v produce_v the_o same_o catalogue_n and_o a_o better_a but_o the_o medicine_n name_v be_v not_o the_o invention_n of_o any_o acid_n doctor_n but_o be_v common_a to_o all_o physician_n before_o any_o such_o sharp_a fancy_n have_v turn_v the_o brain_n of_o any_o pretender_n to_o physic_n nor_o be_v they_o all_o acid_n nor_o do_v any_o of_o they_o except_o the_o spirit_n operate_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o acid_n but_o i_o may_v say_v if_o i_o can_v allow_v myself_o to_o reason_n as_o the_o gentleman_n do_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o alkaly_n for_o if_o you_o take_v away_o ☿_o ♀_o and_o ♂_o the_o acid_v now_o join_v with_o they_o will_v never_o produce_v the_o effect_n alone_o but_o i_o know_v better_o they_o operate_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o texture_n result_v from_o their_o conjunction_n even_o as_o gunpowder_n do_v not_o operate_v by_o virtue_n of_o sulphur_n or_o either_o of_o its_o ingredient_n but_o by_o nitre_n sulphur_n and_o charcoal_n all_o together_o and_o if_o the_o use_n of_o acid_n or_o alkaly_n either_o can_v be_v better_a demonstrate_v than_o the_o gentleman_n or_o his_o master_n colebatch_n have_v demonstrate_v their_o pretend_a hypothesis_n of_o acid_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o proselyte_n to_o either_o the_o gentleman_n have_v at_o last_o answer_v his_o doctor_n request_n and_o pick_v out_o here_o and_o there_o a_o expression_n in_o my_o dialogue_n which_o he_o think_v he_o can_v say_v some_o thing_n to_o but_o how_o well_o he_o have_v answer_v what_o be_v indeed_o material_a and_o how_o much_o he_o have_v omit_v i_o must_v yet_o leave_v to_o the_o judicious_a reader_n of_o my_o dialogue_n wherein_o i_o think_v stand_v unanswered_a enough_o to_o show_v the_o groundlessness_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o pretend_a new_a hypothesis_n of_o acid_n and_o alkali_n as_o well_o as_o the_o immodest_a self_n applause_n shameful_a contempt_n and_o abuse_v of_o all_o physician_n gross_a mistake_n and_o great_a ignorance_n of_o the_o pretender_n which_o want_v of_o learning_n and_o virtue_n the_o gentleman_n in_o his_o letter_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o excuse_v wherefore_o i_o hope_v his_o master_n be_v also_o conscious_a thereof_o and_o will_v amend_v and_o the_o gentleman_n perhaps_o in_o a_o little_a time_n may_v see_v that_o he_o be_v a_o proselyte_n to_o so_o very_o senseless_a and_o mean_v a_o sect_n he_o may_v be_v ashamed_a on_o it_o or_o he_o may_v be_v blow_v with_o some_o less_o bite_a or_o dangerous_a maggot_n or_o become_v fond_a of_o some_o new_a fancy_n since_o gentleman_n be_v inclinable_a it_o seem_v to_o be_v as_o well_o please_v with_o their_o physician_n for_o impose_v new_o fashion_v suffering_n upon_o they_o as_o with_o their_o tailor_n for_o put_v they_o into_o new_a fashion_a clothes_n and_o for_o such_o gentleman_n sake_n i_o have_v a_o good_a mind_n before_o i_o conclude_v to_o start_v a_o yet_o new_a hypothesis_n that_o may_v serve_v they_o when_o that_o of_o acid_n be_v out_o of_o fashion_n which_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v strong_o assert_v by_o some_o man_n of_o confidence_n i_o do_v question_n but_o it_o will_v take_v please_v as_o well_o be_v more_o effectual_a and_o le●s_v dangerous_a than_o the_o practice_n of_o acid_n i_o have_v be_v inform_v by_o a_o person_n of_o credit_n that_o a_o certain_a doctor_n in_o france_n who_o be_v fame_v for_o his_o cure_n give_v nothing_o to_o his_o patient_n but_o brickdust_n and_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o another_o of_o considerable_a repute_n in_o another_o place_n who_o as_o a_o panacea_fw-la give_v all_o that_o come_v to_o he_o convenient_a quantity_n of_o common_a water_n these_o doctor_n want_v a_o more_o generous_a principle_n both_o disguise_v their_o medicine_n they_o seem_v to_o have_v act_v contrary_a but_o which_o appear_v to_o have_v the_o better_a success_n i_o be_v not_o well_o inform_v but_o some_o of_o the_o patient_n of_o both_o no_o doubt_n recover_v and_o some_o of_o they_o die_v those_o that_o live_v will_v swear_v the_o doctor_n heal_v they_o but_o those_o that_o pack_v off_o be_v leave_v out_o of_o the_o catalogue_n of_o his_o cure_n but_o let_v it_o be_v how_o it_o will_v the_o hint_n give_v i_o ground_n enough_o to_o build_v a_o new_a hypothesis_n upon_o now_o that_o of_o acid_n grow_v old_a brickdust_n and_o water_n then_o shall_v be_v two_o principal_n into_o which_o body_n may_v be_v resolve_v distillation_n and_o

to_o be_v wrought_v on_o as_o before_o say_v or_o by_o burn_v will_v be_v reduce_v to_o a_o caput_fw-la mort._n which_o expose_v to_o the_o action_n of_o the_o air_n will_v be_v rot_v and_o turn_v

of_o a_o lady_n how_o these_o two_o principle_n be_v concern_v in_o the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o macrocosm_n i_o can_v ready_o teach_v if_o a_o exact_a physiology_n be_v think_v necessary_a to_o a_o doctor_n now_o let_v these_o two_o principle_n be_v take_v instead_o of_o acid_n and_o alkali_n for_o the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o thing_n and_o for_o the_o cause_n
