various_a sort_n and_o production_n of_o animal_n creature_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o tell_v i_o what_o you_o have_v observe_v of_o their_o sensitive_a perception_n true_o answer_v they_o your_o majesty_n put_v a_o very_a hard_a question_n to_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v hardly_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o it_o for_o there_o be_v many_o different_a sort_n of_o creature_n which_o as_o they_o have_v all_o different_a perception_n so_o they_o have_v also_o different_a organ_n which_o our_o sense_n be_v not_o able_a to_o discover_v only_o in_o a_o oystershell_n we_o have_v with_o admiration_n observe_v that_o the_o common_a sensorium_fw-la of_o the_o oyster_n lie_v just_a at_o the_o close_n of_o the_o shell_n where_o the_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n may_v be_v perceive_v by_o the_o open_n and_o shut_v of_o the_o shell_n every_o tide_n after_o all_o this_o the_o empress_n desire_v the_o worm_n man_n to_o give_v she_o a_o true_a relation_n how_o frost_n be_v make_v upon_o the_o earth_n to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v make_v much_o after_o the_o manner_n and_o description_n of_o the_o fish_n and_o bird-man_n concern_v the_o congelation_n of_o water_n into_o ice_n and_o snow_n by_o a_o commixture_n of_o saline_n and_o acid_a particle_n which_o relation_n add_v a_o great_a light_n to_o the_o ape-man_n who_o be_v the_o chemist_n concern_v their_o chemical_a principle_n salt_n sulphur_n and_o mercury_n but_o say_v the_o empress_n if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o will_v require_v a_o infinite_a multitude_n of_o saline_a particle_n to_o produce_v such_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o ice_n frost_n and_o snow_n beside_o say_v she_o when_o snow_n ice_n and_o frost_n turn_v again_o into_o their_o former_a principle_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o become_v of_o those_o saline_a particle_n but_o neither_o the_o worm-man_n nor_o the_o fish_n and_o bird-man_n can_v give_v she_o a_o answer_n to_o it_o then_o the_o empress_n inquire_v of_o they_o the_o reason_n why_o spring_n be_v not_o as_o salt_n as_o the_o sea_n be_v also_o why_o some_o do_v ebb_n and_o flow_v to_o which_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o some_o spring_n be_v cause_v by_o hollow_a cavern_n within_o the_o earth_n where_o the_o sea-water_n crowd_v through_o do_v thrust_v forward_o and_o draw_v backward_o the_o spring-water_n according_a to_o its_o own_o way_n of_o ebb_a and_o flow_v but_o other_o say_v that_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o small_a proportion_n of_o saline_n and_o acid_a particle_n which_o the_o spring-water_n imbibe_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_n yet_o be_v it_o enough_o to_o cause_v a_o ebb_a and_o flowing-motion_n and_o as_o for_o the_o spring-water_n be_v fresh_a they_o give_v according_a to_o their_o observation_n this_o follow_a reason_n there_o be_v say_v they_o a_o certain_a heat_n within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n proceed_v from_o its_o swift_a circular_a motion_n upon_o its_o own_o axe_n which_o heat_n distil_v the_o rare_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n into_o a_o fresh_a and_o insipid_a water_n which_o water_n be_v through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n convey_v into_o a_o place_n where_o it_o may_v break_v forth_o without_o resistance_n or_o obstruction_n cause_n spring_n and_o fountain_n and_o these_o distil_a water_n within_o the_o earth_n do_v nourish_v and_o refresh_v the_o grosser_n and_o dry_a part_n thereof_o this_o relation_n confirm_v the_o empress_n in_o the_o opinion_n concern_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o fixedness_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o the_o bird-man_n have_v inform_v she_o and_o then_o she_o ask_v the_o worm-man_n whether_o mineral_n and_o vegetable_n be_v generate_v by_o the_o same_o heat_n that_o be_v within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o which_o they_o can_v give_v she_o no_o positive_a answer_n only_o this_o they_o affirm_v that_o heat_n and_o cold_a be_v not_o the_o primary_n produce_v cause_n of_o either_o vegetable_n or_o mineral_n or_o other_o sort_n of_o creature_n but_o only_a effect_n and_o to_o prove_v this_o our_o assertion_n say_v they_o we_o have_v observe_v that_o by_o change_n of_o some_o sort_n of_o corporeal_a motion_n that_o which_o be_v now_o hot_a will_v become_v cold_a and_o what_o be_v now_o cold_a will_v grow_v hot_a but_o the_o hot_a place_n of_o all_o we_o find_v to_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n neither_o do_v we_o observe_v that_o the_o torrid_a zone_n do_v contain_v so_o much_o gold_n and_o silver_n as_o the_o temperate_a nor_o be_v there_o great_a store_n of_o iron_n and_o lead_v wheresoever_o there_o be_v gold_n for_o these_o metal_n be_v most_o find_v in_o cold_a climate_n towards_o either_o of_o the_o pole_n this_o observation_n the_o empress_n command_v they_o to_o confer_v with_o her_o chemist_n the_o ape-man_n to_o let_v they_o know_v that_o gold_n be_v not_o produce_v by_o a_o violent_a but_o a_o temperate_a degree_n of_o heat_n she_o ask_v further_o whether_o gold_n can_v not_o be_v make_v by_o art_n they_o answer_v that_o they_o can_v not_o certain_o tell_v her_o majesty_n but_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v they_o think_v tin_n lead_v brass_n iron_n and_o silver_n to_o be_v the_o fit_a metal_n for_o such_o a_o artificial_a transmutation_n then_o she_o ask_v they_o whether_o art_n can_v produce_v iron_n tin_n lead_v or_o silver_n they_o answer_v not_o in_o their_o opinion_n then_o i_o perceive_v reply_v the_o empress_n that_o your_o judgement_n be_v very_o irregular_a since_o you_o believe_v that_o gold_n which_o be_v so_o fix_v a_o metal_n that_o nothing_o have_v be_v find_v as_o yet_o which_o can_v occasion_v a_o dissolution_n of_o its_o interior_a figure_n may_v be_v make_v by_o art_n and_o not_o tin_n lead_v iron_n copper_n or_o silver_n which_o yet_o be_v so_o far_o weak_a and_o mean_a metal_n than_o gold_n be_v but_o the_o worm-man_n excuse_v themselves_o that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a in_o that_o art_n and_o that_o such_o question_n belong_v more_o proper_o to_o the_o ape-man_n which_o be_v her_o majesty_n chemist_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o whether_o by_o their_o sensitive_a perception_n they_o can_v observe_v the_o interior_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n both_o of_o vegetable_n and_o mineral_n they_o answer_v that_o their_o sense_n can_v perceive_v they_o after_o they_o be_v produce_v but_o not_o before_o nevertheless_o say_v they_o although_o the_o interior_a figurative_a motion_n of_o natural_a creature_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o exterior_a animal_n sensitive_a perception_n yet_o by_o their_o rational_a perception_n they_o may_v judge_n of_o they_o and_o of_o their_o production_n if_o they_o be_v regular_a whereupon_o the_o empress_n command_v the_o bear-man_n to_o lend_v they_o some_o of_o their_o best_a microscope_n at_o which_o the_o bear-man_n smile_o answer_v her_o majesty_n that_o their_o glass_n will_v do_v they_o but_o little_a service_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n for_o say_v they_o our_o glass_n do_v only_o represent_v exterior_a object_n according_a to_o the_o various_a reflection_n and_o position_n of_o light_n and_o wheresoever_o light_n be_v want_v the_o glass_n will_v do_v no_o good_a to_o which_o the_o worm-man_n reply_v that_o although_o they_o can_v not_o say_v much_o of_o refraction_n reflection_n inflection_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o be_v they_o not_o blind_a even_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o they_o can_v see_v the_o several_a sort_n of_o mineral_n as_o also_o minute_n animal_n that_o live_v there_o which_o minute_n animal_n creature_n be_v not_o blind_a neither_o but_o have_v some_o kind_n of_o sensitive_a perception_n that_o be_v as_o serviceable_a to_o they_o as_o sight_n taste_n smell_v touch_n hear_v etc._n etc._n be_v to_o other_o animal_n creature_n by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o nature_n have_v be_v as_o bountiful_a to_o those_o creature_n that_o live_v under_o ground_n or_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o to_o those_o that_o live_v upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o in_o the_o air_n or_o in_o water_n but_o howsoever_o proceed_v the_o worm-man_n although_o there_o be_v light_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n yet_o your_o microscope_n will_v do_v but_o little_a good_a there_o by_o reason_n those_o creature_n that_o live_v under_o ground_n have_v not_o such_o a_o optic_a sense_n as_o those_o that_o live_v on_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n wherefore_o unless_o you_o have_v such_o glass_n as_o be_v proper_a for_o their_o perception_n your_o microscope_n will_v not_o be_v any_o way_n advantageous_a to_o they_o the_o empress_n seem_v well_o please_v with_o this_o answer_n of_o the_o worm-man_n and_o ask_v they_o further_o whether_o mineral_n and_o all_o

in_o the_o middle_a region_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o leightness_n can_v not_o go_v direct_o to_o the_o bottom_n but_o be_v carry_v by_o the_o air_n up_o and_o down_o some_o will_v have_v it_o a_o flow_a water_n of_o the_o air_n and_o other_o again_o a_o flow_a air_n move_v by_o the_o blaz_v of_o the_o star_n but_o the_o empress_n see_v they_o can_v not_o agree_v concern_v the_o cause_n of_o wind_n ask_v whether_o they_o can_v tell_v how_o snow_n be_v make_v to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o according_a to_o their_o observation_n snow_n be_v make_v by_o a_o commixture_n of_o water_n and_o some_o certain_a extract_n of_o the_o element_n of_o fire_n that_o be_v under_o the_o moon_n a_o small_a portion_n of_o which_o extract_n be_v mix_v with_o water_n and_o beat_v by_o air_n or_o wind_n make_v a_o white_a froth_n call_v snow_n which_o be_v after_o some_o while_n dissolve_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n turn_v to_o water_n again_o this_o observation_n amaze_v the_o empress_n very_o much_o for_o she_o have_v hitherto_o believe_v that_o snow_n be_v make_v by_o cold_a motion_n and_o not_o by_o such_o a_o agitation_n or_o beat_n of_o a_o fiery_a extract_n upon_o water_n nor_o can_v she_o be_v persuade_v to_o believe_v it_o until_o the_o fish_n or_o mear-man_n have_v deliver_v their_o observation_n upon_o the_o make_n of_o ice_n which_o they_o say_v be_v not_o produce_v as_o some_o have_v hitherto_o conceive_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n rake_v the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o by_o some_o strong_a saline_a vapour_n arise_v out_o of_o the_o sea_n which_o condense_a water_n into_o ice_n and_o the_o more_o quantity_n there_o be_v of_o that_o vapour_n the_o great_a be_v the_o mountain_n or_o precipice_n of_o ice_n but_o the_o reason_n that_o it_o do_v not_o so_o much_o freeze_v in_o the_o torrid_a zone_n or_o under_o the_o ecliptic_a as_o near_o or_o under_o the_o pole_n be_v that_o this_o vapour_n in_o those_o place_n be_v draw_v up_o by_o the_o sunbeam_n into_o the_o middle_a region_n of_o the_o air_n be_v only_o condense_v into_o water_n and_o fall_v down_o in_o shower_n of_o rain_n when_o as_o under_o the_o pole_n the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o so_o vehement_a the_o same_o vapour_n have_v no_o force_n or_o power_n to_o rise_v so_o high_a and_o therefore_o cause_v so_o much_o ice_n by_o ascend_v and_o act_v only_o upon_o the_o surface_n of_o water_n this_o relation_n confirm_v partly_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o bird-man_n concern_v the_o cause_n of_o snow_n but_o since_o they_o have_v make_v mention_n that_o that_o same_o extract_n which_o by_o its_o commixture_n with_o water_n make_v snow_n proceed_v from_o the_o element_n of_o fire_n that_o be_v under_o the_o moon_n the_o empress_n ask_v they_o of_o what_o nature_n that_o elementary_a fire_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v like_o ordinary_a fire_n here_o upon_o earth_n or_o such_o a_o fire_n as_o be_v within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o as_o the_o famous_a mountain_n vesuvius_n and_o aetna_n do_v burn_v withal_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v such_o a_o sort_n of_o fire_n as_o be_v find_v in_o flint_n etc._n etc._n they_o answer_v that_o the_o elementary_a fire_n which_o be_v underneath_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o so_o solid_a as_o any_o of_o those_o mention_a fire_n because_o it_o have_v no_o solid_a fuel_n to_o feed_v on_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v much_o like_o the_o flame_n of_o ordinary_a fire_n only_o somewhat_o more_o thin_a and_o fluid_a for_o flame_n say_v they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o airy_a part_n of_o a_o fire_a body_n last_o the_o empress_n ask_v the_o bird-man_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o cause_v by_o rove_n of_o ice_n fall_v upon_o each_o other_o to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o make_v that_o way_n but_o by_o a_o encounter_n of_o cold_a and_o heat_n so_o that_o a_o exhalation_n be_v kindle_v in_o the_o cloud_n do_v dash_v forth_o lightning_n and_o that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o renting_n of_o cloud_n as_o there_o be_v sound_n and_o crack_v noise_n but_o this_o opinion_n be_v contradict_v by_o other_o who_o affirm_v that_o thunder_n be_v a_o sudden_a and_o monstrous_a blaz_n stir_v up_o in_o the_o air_n and_o do_v not_o always_o require_v a_o cloud_n but_o the_o empress_n not_o know_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o blaz_n for_o even_o they_o themselves_o be_v not_o able_a to_o explain_v the_o seuse_n of_o this_o word_n like_v the_o former_a better_o and_o to_o avoid_v hereafter_o tedious_a dispute_n and_o have_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o celestial_a body_n more_o exact_o know_v command_v the_o bear-man_n which_o be_v her_o experimental_a philosopher_n to_o
