's likely that Water had not penetrated them for it gave no tincture with Galls The Spring towards the South had plenty of a black spongy Marcasite out of which we took several pieces yea all about that place is full thereof round about the sides and in one place where the Air had wrought upon the Marcasite it did shoot by the heat of the Sun into green Chrystals like Vitriol as indeed being nothing but Vitriol it self of which I have some by me The Water that stagnates there for it hath no current will with Galls give a deep purple tincture being very acid in taste and so undergoes the other mutation of colours like other Vitrioline Waters And now I have shown how Mineral Juyces by their coincidence and mutual contact with their various fermentations become the original efficients of Hot Baths and Sulphurous Waters in the secret Meanders of the Earth where Metals and Minerals are in solutis principiis in their primitive spermatick Juyces from whence proceeds the great variety of tastes smells alterations of colours fermentations and different operations of all Mineral Waters and as these are the true causes from whence the most natural Phaenomena of Concrets peculiarly belonging to the Mineral Kingdom are deducible so in like manner the various fermental Juyces which circulate in the Channels of the bodies of Animals and Vegetables are the causes of those manifold Phaenomena proper and incident to all Concrets belonging thereto For what is Heat Fermentation Motion Nutrition c. with all the concomitants thereof but products from the coincidence and combination of Seminal with adventitious Juyces of the bodies of Animals What are the Juyces of the Body undergoing various fermentations but such as thereby are made capable by a natural symetry of performing the functions of Life And what are the acid Juyces scituate in their proper places but actual Ferments which macerate prepare dissolve and digest the food we take in which being altered by its passage through other subsequent ferments undergoes various transmutations and diversifications which succeeding in a constant circulation upholds the fabrick of the body Doth not the natural heat of the body proceed from a due fermentation of the Juyces as when the nutritive Juyce undergoes such alterations by praevious preparations as when in the form of a milky Liquor it coincides with the blood in the subclavial Vessels and both carried by the Vaena Cava into the Heart doth there strike up a vital heat in the taper of life the vital Spirits but if it come raw for want of a due preparation by a defect of previous ferments then it produceth a spurious febrile heat which rather dissipates the natural heat and destroyes then binds up the right tone and texture of the parts And lastly Doth not the acid Juyce of the first digession of the Stomach dissolve loosening the Vinculum of our nutritive Juyce and so open the body thereof as to make it become one similar milky Cremer and doth not this dissolv'd and opened Chyle receive a second Menstruum coming from the Gaul that Balsam of the Body by the ductus communis inserted into the duodenum and there besides the peristaltick motion it gives to the intestines in part precipitates the opened body of the Sulphur of the nutritive Juyce and causeth a volatile faetid flatus peculiar to those parts which not finding vent per inferiora sometimes works into the Stomach and by the mediation of the Nerves of the sixth conjugation into the Head and other parts is not this faetid flatus native to the intestines caused by a commixture of a saline Ferment dismis'd I say from the Gaul which precipitates the opened body of the Sulphur in our nutritive Juyce which before such precipitation is a similar Cremor And to conclude is not the growth budding hearing and specifical endowments of Vegetables the product of fermenting Juyces And is not the changing of Fruits by grafting and inoculating one sort into another as that a pleasant Apple should grow from a Crab-stock and a Pear from a Thorn caused otherwise then by different fermentations and specifications of the nutritive Juyce which no sooner undergoes any different ferments or passeth various Strainers but forthwith becomes metamorphosed thereby so that the metastasis of all bodies in the whole triplicity of nature depends upon the variety of fermenting Juyces and their mutual complications implanted in the Seminal Principles of all Concretes But to return to treat a little of another Ingredient of this Well and that is Sal marine or Fossil Salt both are one that of the Sea having its original according to all probability from Fossil Salt concerning which I find my Antagonist p. 119.122 of his Mimick about to impeach me of two Contradictions the first is in that I say The saltness of the Sea proceeds from Fossil Salt which being dissolv'd in Water is carried into the Ocean and yet maintains a circulation of the Sea-Water from the Sea to the heads of Springs by Subterraneal Channels Now the force of the Contradiction as he supposeth lieth in this that he imagineth that I would assert that the same Channels should convey a Salt into the Sea and also convey the Sea-Water to the Springs two contrary Currents in the same Channels To which I answer That there is no need in that Hypothesis of the Springs having their original from the Sea and the Sea 's having its saltness from the Earth to assert two contrary Currents in the same Channels and that first because of some Rocks and Bodies of Salt which are often found in the Sea and next because of the saltness dispersed throughout the whole body of the Earth easily imbibed by Waters as the Learned Dr. Highmore notes upon the Controversie Philosophical Transactions Numb 56. P. 1129 c. and may as easily be conveighed into the Sea by Subterraneal Channels passing through Salt Beds in their passage from one Sea to another which Subterraneal Channels by which Seas communicate we have demonstratively illustrated in the Appendix to our Hydrol. Chym. p. 307 c. But I find my Antagonist taking sanctuary at his wonted Asylum of Putationary Philosophy comming in with his I do verily think that all the Fossil Salt in the body of the Earth which we see is very rarely found if it were dissolved would not serve to supply a twentieth part of the Salt that is in the Sea whom I answer That surely he is either ignorant or at least oblivious of what is writ concerning Rocks of Salt in Bohemia in Monte Carpato in Polonia within two miles of Cracovia in Helvetia and Rhetia where they have no other Salt but from the Rock as also by the Caspian Straights are great Rocks of Salt there are also many Rivers of Salt Water by the Caspian Straights and in Spain and Caria and in Bactria Ochus and Oxius also there are Salt Lakes as the Tarentine Lakes in Italy the Lake between Strapela and
