which was made clean the Michaelmas before I set these two pots thus filled in the open Air but in the shade and put into one of them a good handfull of Mints the Runners which I put in the first of March 1664. where I let them continue till the first of April next and then put in a fresh handfull and let that continue for one Moneth more and so I did both May and June I poured out this Water about the beginning of September to observe which of those Pots had the most of this slime whereupon I found that pot that had no Mints put into it had twice as much and being forced too to fill up that pot that had the Mints with the same water often and that pot that had no Herbs in it the slime of it was green the other pots settlement that was in it was black and of an Earthy colour I did intend to have prosecuted this further as to have filled two pots of fresh Earth and not too rich and to have sown in them several Seeds and to have kept them from all water but this and then to have noted well the success with more like Fancies which I thought on but I was prohibited by one of the Drones of this Age and did not know whether I should stay or not A Stone lying in water gets a kind of slime about it and if you put into water seeds that be quick of growth as most of your Annuals are keep it but temperately hot and they will in a little time spear out and then if you put them into fine Mould temperately moyst and warm you may if you pull up one of them and observe see the Roots feeding upon a white substance which I have often observed for in water is the seed of all things Likewise put seed into Earth and if it be very dry then though it be kept never so temperately hot it will rather keep the seeds from growing than hasten them But water dissolves then Life followeth the dissolution for water opens the parts of the Seed and makes them swell then they draw the Spirit of the water to them for the World is full of Spirit so the Seeds they have been so long in water till the body of them cracks which is as soon as it hath filled it self with enough to make a Root then that seed if once dryed and a stop put to its proceedings the Art of Man cannot make it grow again I have heard some affirm that Malt will grow but 't is false unless they mean some Barley-corns which never speared Therefore if you have once watered Seed keep them with watering if the Earth require and if your Earth be poor and your seeds great growers then water with rich dunged water and often but let it not touch the Leaves and if you think your ground be too Rich for the Nature of your seed then water your seed with water not very Rich but if your seeds be slow growers for such keep your ground only moyst and no more for though it be Earth that stores up the Spirit that seeds Plants yet it is water that sets it on motion and water is full of Spirit also but without Heat both these lie still for Heat draws out first the crude water and sends it into the Aire Therefore unless it be for Aquatick Plants or Plants that grow much and the weather be warm and drying do not water too much keep your Earth just moyst for when ground is full of water the Coelestial Fire heats first the superficies of the Earth and puts that into a fume but the Roots which are deeper in the ground being covered with water there is no fume riseth there till most of the water be drawn up by the Sun or settled into the Earth Therefore if your Ground be subject to be wet keep it loose and open by deep trenching and Earth to drein away water for it is oft seen that good Land that lies low in a wet Spring hath no great burden because it is over pressed with wet and dunged Land in a wet year bears the worst Corn especially if it be low stiffe Land for Dung then holdeth the Moysture and the ground being wet withall commonly doth produce great weeds which can digest the spirit of the Earth and Water better than Corn because they grow much quicker and so they spoyl the Corn For the greatest good that Dung doth to Land is to hold the water in the ground and to keep the ground hollow for the Roots to fetch their Nourishment For 't is the nature of Dung to draw water to it to fill it self like a Sponge and when dry weather comes then it spends it self in fume and so it wastes it self and feeds Plants by its decay Thus you may see and admire the Order of the great God of Nature that the Destruction of one should be the Preservation of another This you may observe in rotten Wood Malt-dust Wool woollen Rags Horn-shavings c. how full they will be with every little Dew and keep that longer than a Clod of Earth twice as big thus will they doe till they be turn'd to a very little Earth By this you may inform your self what sort of Dung will last longest Some sorts of Dung there be that if they be not over-pressed with Water will waste themselves by their own heat Witness your Hot-beds c. yet notwithstanding this heat is very Natural to Annual Plants Dung steeped in Water or water strained thorow Dung doth take a great part of the substance and strength of the Dung with it and that water when dryed up in the ground and evaporated when Rain or Dew falls on that place it there leaveth such an Oily or slimy substance as catcheth the Water or Dew and hindereth it from running deep into the Earth and then the Over-plus which the Plants receive not is rarified into Air till it hath spent it self as it were to nothing After dry weather in Summer if there comes a good shower and a warm day after you may see this Fume hang in the Aire sometimes low close to the ground as if it were loth to part with the Earth and toward the latter end of Summer if great Rain and warm VVeather happen then this Fume being great and the Nights something cold it will spend it self in Mushromes Puffes c. as old Trees and rotten VVood will doe where there is a great decay and nothing to feed on Therefore if you fear dry VVeather do not deferre too long before you water your Trees and Seeds but water while your ground is yet moyst for believe me I would not have you stay too long before you water if you be minded to water at all And also when you do water do it well Consider the depth of your Roots and those that root deepest water most and also when you begin to water continue it as long as you find occasion water Trees
