the_o same_o manner_n when_o saline_n corrosive_n be_v mix_v together_o the_o subtle_a effluvia_fw-la of_o each_o first_o begin_v powerful_o to_o oppose_v one_o another_o and_o be_v by_o that_o mean_v

hot_a because_o the_o particle_n of_o fire_n be_v mix_v motion_n with_o it_o and_o put_v its_o part_n into_o a_o swift_a motion_n and_o the_o effluvium_n of_o corrosive_n be_v very_o volatile_a and_o in_o a_o strong_a and_o powerful_a motion_n by_o a_o attrition_n and_o grind_v upon_o one_o another_o cause_n heat_n so_o also_o the_o particle_n of_o flame_n by_o attrition_n turn_v sulphur_n into_o flame_n and_o by_o motion_n only_o not_o so_o intense_a a_o less_o violent_a degree_n of_o heat_n be_v produce_v in_o putrefaction_n so_o that_o in_o all_o these_o way_n heat_v only_o proceed_v from_o

and_o sulphureous_a body_n that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o difference_n in_o their_o way_n of_o work_v upon_o one_o another_o to_o which_o all_o that_o i_o need_v to_o say_v more_o be_v that_o though_o different_a body_n be_v different_o apply_v together_o yet_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o only_o operate_v by_o those_o particle_n that_o be_v in_o motion_n and_o which_o communicate_v motion_n to_o each_o other_o and_o one_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o sulphur_n kindle_v by_o a_o flame_n be_v make_v hot_a per_fw-la admotum_fw-la calidi_fw-la as_o that_o water_n be_v for_o as_o flame_n be_v apply_v to_o one_o so_o the_o disperse_a particle_n of_o fire_n be_v communicate_v to_o the_o other_o this_o learned_a author_n have_v lay_v these_o premise_n to_o establish_v consider_v a_o rational_a hypothesis_n upon_o and_o conclude_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n body_n can_v not_o become_v hot_a any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o accension_n go_v on_o to_o compare_v the_o accension_n of_o the_o blood_n with_o the_o burn_a of_o the_o flame_n and_o because_o as_o he_o think_v the_o same_o thing_n be_v requisite_a to_o continue_v both_o viz._n first_o a_o free_a and_o continual_a access_n of_o air._n second_o a_o fresh_a supply_n of_o a_o constant_a sulphureous_a pabulum_fw-la three_o a_o perpetual_a avolition_n of_o fuliginous_a recrement_n he_o conclude_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v keep_v hot_a by_o a_o continual_a sort_n of_o flame_n but_o he_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o water_n over_o a_o fire_n can_v not_o flame_n become_v hot_a except_o it_o be_v put_v into_o a_o flame_n as_o that_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n can_v grow_v hot_a without_o accension_n but_o since_o every_o body_n know_v that_o hot_a water_n be_v not_o flame_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o blood_n may_v be_v hot_a without_o accension_n too_o that_o to_o produce_v heat_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o flame_n to_o be_v always_o accend_v be_v evident_a since_o there_o be_v several_a degree_n of_o hot_a body_n in_o which_o no_o flame_n at_o all_o be_v apparent_a and_o even_o blood_n itself_o immediate_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v extravasated_a seem_v so_o unlikely_a pabulum_fw-la for_o a_o flame_n that_o water_n will_v not_o soon_o extinguish_v it_o but_o to_o produce_v several_a degree_n of_o heat_n in_o liquids_n it_o be_v sufficient_a the_o particle_n of_o those_o body_n that_o so_o affect_v our_o sense_n be_v put_v into_o a_o swift_a motion_n although_o not_o into_o so_o high_a a_o degree_n as_o to_o make_v a_o flame_n so_o by_o rub_v of_o two_o flint-stone_n together_o moderate_o be_v produce_v a_o evident_a heat_n and_o when_o they_o be_v move_v against_o one_o another_o more_o violent_o the_o heat_n be_v strong_a and_o by_o a_o collision_n yet_o more_o violent_a those_o sulphureous_a particle_n that_o before_o cause_v a_o gentle_a heat_n constitute_v a_o flame_n he_o say_v that_o a_o flame_n may_v be_v continue_v it_o shall_v always_o have_v a_o free_a access_n of_o air_n for_o all_o sublunary_a fire_n and_o especial_o flame_n be_v compose_v of_o sulphureous_a particle_n break_v out_o of_o the_o combustible_a matter_n and_o of_o nitrous_a particle_n which_o always_o abound_v in_o the_o air_n and_o these_o nitrous_a particle_n he_o say_v be_v so_o necessary_a to_o the_o production_n of_o flame_n that_o in_o the_o summer_n if_o the_o sun_n do_v but_o shine_v upon_o the_o fire_n by_o drive_v it_o back_o and_o dissipate_v the_o nitre_n it_o extinguish_v it_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o it_o be_v supply_v with_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n it_o burn_v more_o clear_a and_o brisk_a indeed_o it_o be_v so_o manifest_o certain_a that_o fire_n burn_v brisk_a and_o flame_n fierce_a when_o it_o have_v a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o nitre_n about_o it_o than_o when_o it_o have_v not_o that_o to_o contradict_v it_o will_v be_v to_o deny_v what_o be_v sensible_o apparent_a but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o nitre_n make_v up_o part_n of_o the_o flame_n for_o sulphur_n and_o oil_n will_v flame_v as_o violent_o in_o the_o summer_n as_o in_o the_o winter_n though_o wood_n and_o coal_n and_o other_o combustible_a matter_n will_v not_o beside_o if_o nitre_n make_v any_o part_n of_o the_o flame_n though_o it_o may_v ready_o mix_v with_o the_o outward_a side_n of_o it_o i_o will_v willing_o understand_v how_o when_o a_o flame_n be_v two_o or_o three_o yard_n diameter_n it_o be_v possible_a for_o it_o to_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o flame_n which_o we_o perceive_v be_v more_o violent_a than_o the_o border_n of_o it_o where_o nitre_n abound_v but_o the_o reason_n why_o flame_n will_v not_o burn_v without_o some_o degree_n soon_o of_o nitre_n be_v not_o that_o it_o make_v up_o any_o part_n of_o it_o but_o because_o the_o particle_n of_o fire_n be_v in_o so_o very_o swift_a and_o violent_a a_o motion_n that_o they_o will_v immediate_o be_v disperse_v and_o fly_v away_o if_o the_o nitrous_a particle_n of_o the_o air_n do_v not_o prevent_v they_o by_o close_v round_o about_o they_o and_o keep_v they_o up_o to_o a_o centre_n by_o which_o mean_v flame_n be_v not_o only_o make_v of_o a_o long_a continuance_n but_o it_o be_v power_n of_o heat_n we_o be_v more_o violent_a those_o move_a particle_n be_v reverberate_v and_o work_v mutual_o on_o one_o another_o so_o as_o to_o increase_v their_o motion_n and_o consequent_o their_o effect_n and_o as_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n collect_v into_o a_o point_n by_o a_o burning-glass_n make_v they_o more_o violent_a so_o do_v the_o nitrous_a particle_n enerease_v the_o vigour_n of_o the_o flame_n and_o again_o as_o bank_n cast_v up_o about_o a_o

true_a reason_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n we_o must_v understand_v how_o those_o particle_n be_v put_v into_o motion_n which_o by_o affect_v our_o sensory_a cause_n such_o a_o sensation_n so_o that_o he_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o say_v no_o more_o then_o that_o that_o which_o have_v a_o power_n to_o cause_n heat_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o power_n when_o he_o ought_v in_o order_n to_o

of_o the_o heat_n potential_o in_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n but_o from_o what_o he_o have_v say_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v not_o explain_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o

improper_a after_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v of_o fire_n to_o endeavour_v to_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o flame_n when_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o its_o own_o liberty_n always_o ascend_v to_o

rarify_v body_n who_o minute_n and_o subtle_a particle_n be_v in_o a_o swift_a motion_n and_o in_o some_o measure_n pin_v in_o by_o the_o ambient_fw-la air._n now_o though_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n thus_o press_v way_n upon_o it_o on_o every_o side_n yet_o the_o particle_n of_o flame_n be_v in_o too_o strong_a a_o motion_n and_o also_o too_o subtle_a to_o be_v total_o resist_v and_o altogether_o confine_v must_v needs_o break_v out_o that_o way_n which_o it_o force_v most_o easy_o and_o where_o it_o be_v least_o powerful_o resist_v that_o flame_n be_v only_o a_o rarefy_v body_n in_o swift_a

if_o we_o will_v but_o allow_v what_o be_v beyond_o contradiction_n viz._n that_o the_o more_o solid_a and_o compress_v any_o body_n be_v the_o more_o powerful_o it_o repel_v those_o body_n that_o

the_o impression_n of_o the_o iron_n it_o as_o powerful_o resist_v the_o former_a if_o then_o the_o air_n the_o near_a it_o be_v to_o the_o centre_n above_o be_v more_o solid_a and_o firm_a consequent_o it_o will_v resist_v the_o motion_n of_o body_n that_o strike_v against_o it_o with_o great_a vigour_n and_o when_o the_o particle_n of_o flame_n be_v forcible_o drive_v against_o it_o

the_o air_n the_o near_a it_o be_v to_o the_o centre_n be_v thick_a and_o more_o compact_a consequent_o will_v be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o notion_n of_o the_o flame_n we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o believe_v if_o we_o consider_v what_o a_o vast_a and_o unaccountable_a weight_n of_o incumbent_a air_n press_v upon_o it_o for_o as_o in_o a_o pillar_n of_o stone_n the_o

must_v needs_o conceive_v that_o those_o particle_n of_o air_n next_o the_o centre_n will_v be_v make_v more_o compact_a and_o able_a to_o resist_v the_o flame_n by_o the_o weight_n of_o those_o that_o lie_v upon_o they_o but_o to_o prove_v it_o more_o evident_o experiment_n viz._n that_o the_o air_n next_o to_o the_o centre_n make_v a_o strong_a resistance_n i_o shall_v produce_v a_o common_a yet_o very_o remarkable_a experiment_n which_o be_v this_o if_o a_o bladder_n be_v blow_v full_a of_o air_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mountain_n teneriff_n and_o be_v carry_v up_o to_o the_o top_n of_o that_o hill_n it_o will_v present_o burst_v the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v plain_o this_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o air_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o hill_n be_v press_v and_o

open_a constitution_n of_o part_n which_o reason_n be_v confirm_v by_o another_o experiment_n viz._n by_o blow_v a_o bladder_n full_a of_o air_n at_o the_o top_n of_o the_o same_o mountain_n for_o as_o it_o be_v bring_v down_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o hill_n it_o gradual_o subside_v and_o though_o it_o be_v as_o full_a as_o it_o can_v be_v blow_v at_o the_o top_n of_o the_o hill_n yet_o at_o the_o bottom_n it_o will_v seem_v not_o near_o full_o distend_v the_o spring_n of_o the_o air_n that_o be_v above_o expanded_a be_v now_o press_v together_o by_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o air_n above_o it_o another_o observation_n which_o i_o shall_v bring_v for_o gunpowder_n a_o confirmation_n of_o it_o be_v that_o a_o musket_n shoot_v off_o at_o the_o top_n of_o that_o hill_n make_v no_o considerable_a noise_n compare_v with_o the_o sound_v it_o cause_v at_o the_o bottom_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o difference_n can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o this_o that_o the_o air_n be_v more_o compact_a and_o solid_a below_o cause_v the_o collision_n of_o the_o small_a particle_n of_o matter_n to_o be_v more_o violent_a by_o a_o strong_a opposition_n and_o consequent_o the_o sound_n be_v

what_o i_o have_v say_v before_o of_o the_o reason_n why_o nitre_n be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o maintanance_n of_o flame_n for_o if_o the_o air_n when_o it_o be_v more_o condense_a bind_v up_o and_o cause_v the_o particle_n of_o fire_n to_o work_v more_o powerful_o upon_o one_o another_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v a_o strong_a collision_n of_o particle_n and_o if_o when_o it_o be_v less_o

here_o below_o in_o respect_n of_o flame_n be_v to_o keep_v its_o part_n from_o fly_v away_o too_o easy_o but_o for_o a_o further_a proof_n and_o confirmation_n of_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v give_v
