TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE THOMAS LORD WENTWORTH of Wentwoth Woodhouse Baron Newmarch and Oversley Viscount Wentworth Lord President of his Majesties Councel established in the North Lord Leiftenant of the County of Yorke Lord Deputy of the Kingdome of Ireland and one of his Majesties most honourable Privie Councell RIGHT HONORABLE I Had once I confesse rashly given leave that this small Treatise should put on the Printers livery without the convoy of a protecting passe But as I cast my last eye upon it it appeared to me like a naked man ready to encounter an army For there are not more men then vollies of censorious shot that stand ready prepared to batter any novelty This consideration forc't me suddenly to looke out for a defensative guard against the daring boldnesse of this criticall age Wherein I was not long unprovided For who is hee that casts his dazeled eye on the brightnesse of your redoubled rayes of honour or fixeth his serious thoughts on your Lordships superintendencie in publique affaires dilating it selfe not onely from the north to the south but spreading its influence as farre as the regall eye of great Brittaine doth command and findes not in himselfe a tye to offer upon the altar of your Lordships meriting greatnesse an oblation of his respect And who so fit to patronize these waters not more wonderfull in their effects then happy that they are seated where your iudicious government doth blesse the country then your Lordship whose eminency in those parts doth of right challenge the appropriation of what rariety soever the listes of the North doth empale Be pleased therefore in all accomplishments most noble Lord to admit of these waters which even as they neighbour to your spacious revenues claime an interest in your safegard submitting to your honours shielding protection and favorablely to accept of the tender of his most humble service who would willingly improve his best abilleties actually to be honoured with the title of Your Lordships most humble servant Mich. Stanhope To the Reader IT is plaine I have not the least intent to gull thee in magnefying the Northerne Spaw nor yet to tyrannize over thee by confining and terminating thy beliefe within the circle of my bare relation by a generall avernment of what I write for in nomination the parties who have received benefit by the water I open unto thee a large field for thy satisfaction If it doth appeare to thee by conferring with any of them that I have erred in some circumstances stumble not at it So long as I retaine the substance it matters not for the shaddow Nor thinke it strange that I omit others who have made use of the water since it proceedes not out of ignorance of what hath past but out of a tender regard I have not to burthen thy patience supposing that the culling forth of the most remarkeable instances would bee as satisfactorie to the judicious as many heapes of examples My purpose aymeth rather at a compendious realtie of things then multiplicity of stories Most of the parties I know and have had conference with them the rest I have received from such authenticall testimonie that I doubt not but their information is of sufficient validitie to beget an undoubted confidence of their truths If any of those mentioned in the following discourse out of a nice scrupulocitie thinke themselves disparaged by particularising their names I am sorry that they should be so ignorantly curious since former times have afforded many presidents written by way of Councell such as are those of Fernelius Crato and many others wherein diverse of eminent quality besides their names have their diseases anotamised without the least conceived jealousie of their reputations They ought rather to blesse God who hath in mercy vouchsafed them such easie meanes of their recovery and glad themselues that others by their example may be encouraged to have have recourse to the water for their reliefe It may be it is exspected that I should satisfie the learned in one particular namely what assurance I can give that this our Spaw doth partake with Vitriol and Iron which once confirmed there will necessarily follow an apparant probability of its ample performance of all and more then shall fall within the compasse of the following relations This I foreseeing necessarily premising the conclusion I desire that they would please to take for proofe of the infallibility of Vitriol the taste of the water which is very acide and rough upon the pallate in plainer English ynkish and so like to Vitrioll or Copperes called anciently Attramentum sutorium that there is little or no difference betwixt the taste of the water and the substance of Vitrioll touched with the tongue or a drop of the oyle thereof mixed with a little water Besides take a glasse of the water which in it selfe is translucid and very cleare equaling the choicest spring let the quantity be a pinte or thereabout put to it so much Gall in powder as will cover our common farthing stirre it never so little and the water receiveth a perfect Clarret dye Or take a greene Oake sticke bruise it at the end and with it stirre the like quantity of water and within a small space it is turned into a pure Saphir blew or standing a while with the sticke in it to a Violet colour both which hath beene often tryed As for iron we account it a demonstrative note the discollering of the earth and stones where the current of the spring runnes for it makes the channell red which proceedes as may be supposed from Rubrique otherwise called mater ferri And the better to confirme that the water is no stranger to iron it is very well knowne that the whole soyle where this water riseth is full of iron stone the plenty whereof hath beene such that the working of iron stone hath beene a meanes to exhaust a world of wood growing in that part there being yet to see the remainder of a great iron worke within halfe a mile of the spring Nor is the iron stone so concealed but by digging in most places it is easily found much of it appearing in broaken bankes and in the surface of the earth I might boldly
