Guilielmus Bray Episcopo Londinensi Capellanus Domesticus AS diverse medicinable waters are daily found out in many places so is it a very profitable labour to make true observation of their effects and best manner of vsing them specially by men of learning and judicious vnderstanding and such as haue beene accustomed to the frequent vse of them both in themselues and others whereby they may make their observations more true and certaine Such an one wee take this Author to be concerning the Waters neere Tunbridge whole paines taken herein wee doubt not but will be very vsefull to all such as shall haue occasion to make tryall of them Iohn Argent President of the Colledge of Physitians at London Ottuell Meverell Fellowes of the said Colledge Richard Spicer Fellowes of the said Colledge TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE EDVVARD Lord Viscount Conway and Kilulta and one of his MAIESTIES most Honourable privy Counsell of his Kingdome of IRELAND MY LORD INgratitude is the foulest vice in the world and as the old saying is Ingratum si dixeris omnia dixeris I may haue incurred the imputation of it these six twentie yeares for so long it is since I harboured vnder your Noble deceased Fathers roofe for not expressing my thankfulnesse for the courteous vsage I found at his hands both here in England and at the Briele in Holland What want of opportunitie hindered me to expresse to him now dead opportunitie now offering it selfe I will striue to doe it vnto your Lordship his living Image But a small expression it is God knoweth yet all I may at this time and though it be very meane yet doe I thinke that your Lop. will receiue these two fountaines of water as courteously at my hands as Artaxerxes did the two handfulls of Persian water which Sinaetas offered him It is the nature of Noble and Generous Spirits not to haue so much regard to the worth of the things offered them as to the affection wherewith they are offered I haue knowne your Lop. a teneris vnguiculis and alwayes observed even in your tenderest yeares a most Noble disposition and withall both at the Briele and at Leyden a naturall inclination to follow Minerva as well as Mars This together with the courteous affabilitie it ever pleased you to vse me withall maketh me now beleeue that your Lordship will giue favourable acceptance to this small labour of mine for Acceptissima semper Munera sunt Author quae preciosa facit Receiue it then My Lord as an earnest of what would be done if abilitie concurred with desire by Your Lordships most humble servant L. ROVVZEE A TREATISE CONCERNING THE Nature and vertues of Tunbridge Water in KENT CHAPTER I. Of Water in generall ALbeit my maine scope in this following discourse be concerning Tunbridg water yet will it not be altogether fruitlesse or vnpleasant I hope to the Reader if I say something as it were by way of Preface touching water in generall Water is a substance so absolutely necessary that no living creature can subsist without the benefit of it nor no tree bring forth its leaues and fruit nor any plant its seede if they be deprived of that vivificall moisture which maketh them all to grow and prosper That this is true you may obserue it in Summer for if Raine be wanting but a few weekes how hinderly be all things How doe all plants wither in that seasō when they should chiefly flourish For this cause perhaps it was that Hesiodus thought water to be the most ancient of all the elements Of this opinion also was Thales Milesius one of the seaven wise Grecians who made water the sole principle of all things Empedocles likewise jumping with them sayd that all things were made of water and Hippon in a Lib. 1. c 2. de anima Aristotle termes the soule water Hippocrates goeth not so farre but yet he calleth water and fire the two principles of life True it is that by water Hippon doth vnderstand our seede and Hippocrates our radicall moisture The Latins vpon the Etymologie of the word Aqua water doe derive it from à et qua quasi à qua vivimus vel à qua omnia fiunt by which we liue or out of which all things are made Others will haue it quasi aequa because there is nothing more equall and smooth then water when it is not tossed with the winde But b Exercit. 745.

Rhod. Lib. 13. c. 23 Spanish mayden is reported to haue lived a long time and Albertus writeth of a Melancholy man who by the space of seven weekes lived with water onely one draught of which he tooke but every other day The d d. Lord Verulam also hath produced his opinion of late and holdeth that Trees and Plants liue and are nourished meerely by water and that the earth is as it were but a Stabilimentum vnto them to keepe them steadie and from being beaten downe by the winde Hee proveth it by Rose bushes which being put into water without any earth kept vpright in the same not onely brought forth leaues but faire Roses also And the e Psal 1. royall Prophet sayth that a tree planted by the rivers of water bringeth forth his fruit in due season Much more might be sayd concerning water but because I intend to be briefe let this suffice CHAPTER II.
