A46281	A discourse of natural bathes, and mineral waters wherein, the original of fountains in general is declared, the nature and difference of minerals with examples of particular bathes, the generation of minerals in the earth, from whence both the actual heat of bathes, and their virtues proceed, by what means mineral waters are to be discover'd, and lastly, of the nature and uses of bathes, but especially of our bathes at Bathe, in Someerset-shire / by Edw. Jorden, Doctor in Physick.	Jorden, Edward, 1569-1632.; Guidott, Thomas, fl. 1698. Appendix concerning Bathe.	1669 (1669)	Wing J1074; ESTC R19762	134,265	263

chap._n xiii_o of_o the_o cause_n of_o actual_a heat_n and_o medicinal_a virtue_n in_o mineral_n water_n divers_a opinion_n of_o other_o reject_v now_o i_o come_v to_o show_v how_o our_o mineral_n

juice_n which_o will_v ready_o dissolve_v in_o water_n without_o the_o help_n of_o heat_n other_o mineral_n will_v not_o or_o very_o hardly_o this_o actual_a heat_n of_o water_n have_v trouble_v all_o those_o that_o have_v write_v of_o they_o and_o many_o opinion_n have_v be_v hold_v of_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o some_o attribute_n it_o to_o wind_n or_o air_n or_o exhalation_n include_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o either_o by_o their_o own_o nature_n or_o by_o their_o violent_a motion_n and_o agitation_n and_o attrition_n upon_o rock_n and_o narrow_a passage_n do_v gather_v heat_n and_o impart_v it_o to_o our_o water_n earth_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n these_o exhalation_n can_v be_v so_o hot_a as_o to_o make_v our_o water_n hot_a especial_o see_v in_o their_o passage_n among_o cold_a rock_n it_o will_v be_v much_o allay_v have_v no_o supply_n of_o heat_n to_o maintain_v it_o moreover_o where_o water_n have_v passage_n to_o get_v forth_o to_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n there_o these_o exhalation_n and_o wind_n will_v easy_o pass_v and_o so_o their_o heat_n go_v withal_o and_o so_o our_o water_n leave_v to_o their_o natural_a coldness_n whereas_o we_o see_v they_o do_v continue_v in_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o tenor_n many_o generation_n together_o motion_n if_o by_o their_o agitation_n and_o violent_a motion_n they_o get_v this_o heat_n because_o no_o violent_a thing_n be_v perpetual_a or_o constant_a this_o can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o perpetual_a and_o constant_a heat_n of_o water_n beside_o this_o will_v rather_o cause_v earthquake_n and_o storm_n and_o noise_n in_o the_o earth_n then_o heat_v our_o spring_n moreover_o we_o daily_o observe_v that_o exhalation_n and_o water_n be_v never_o heat_v by_o motion_n or_o agitation_n as_o in_o the_o cataract_n of_o the_o rhine_n by_o splug_n the_o agitation_n and_o fall_n of_o water_n upon_o rock_n be_v most_o violent_a and_o make_v a_o hideous_a noise_n yet_o it_o heat_v not_o the_o water_n though_o it_o be_v very_o deep_a in_o the_o earth_n 4._o neither_o can_v any_o attrition_n heat_n either_o air_n or_o water_n or_o any_o soft_a and_o liquid_a thing_n but_o rather_o make_v it_o more_o cold_a other_o attribute_v this_o actual_a heat_n of_o bath_n unto_o the_o sun_n who_o beam_n pierce_v through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v heat_n our_o water_n sun_n if_o this_o heat_n which_o heat_v our_o bath_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n then_o either_o they_o bring_v it_o entire_o from_o the_o sun_n as_o a_o quality_n proceed_v from_o thence_o or_o they_o make_v it_o by_o their_o own_o motion_n if_o it_o come_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o sun_n must_v be_v extreme_a hot_a that_o can_v heat_v these_o inferior_a part_n at_o such_o a_o distance_n especial_o the_o

the_o true_a cause_n of_o it_o let_v we_o collect_v our_o argument_n together_o the_o principal_a whereof_o be_v here_o and_o there_o disperse_v in_o this_o treatise_n quem_fw-la nos_fw-la

can_v proceed_v see_v as_o be_v show_v before_o they_o be_v neither_o endow_v with_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o native_a heat_n nor_o can_v acquire_v it_o accidental_o by_o their_o motion_n be_v thin_a

through_o the_o cold_a region_n of_o the_o air_n nor_o able_a to_o warm_v that_o although_o it_o be_v near_o to_o their_o fountain_n of_o heat_n wherefore_o if_o these_o beam_n can_v any_o way_n do_v it_o it_o must_v be_v by_o their_o motion_n and_o reflection_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o be_v no_o constant_a heat_n but_o vary_v according_a as_o the_o beam_n be_v perpendicular_a or_o

not_o capable_a to_o receive_v it_o be_v hinder_v by_o the_o density_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o rock_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o reflection_n take_v away_o before_o it_o can_v come_v three_o foot_n deep_a from_o the_o inferior_a part_n of_o the_o world_n if_o it_o proceed_v it_o must_v be_v either_o from_o the_o element_n or_o from_o mix_a body_n from_o the_o element_n it_o can_v come_v but_o from_o fire_n for_o all_o the_o other_o element_n be_v cold_a as_o i_o have_v show_v especial_o the_o earth_n where_o this_o heat_n be_v engender_v and_o as_o for_o the_o element_n of_o fire_n see_v we_o know_v not_o where_o to_o find_v it_o neither_o if_o it_o be_v any_o where_o do_v it_o perform_v the_o office_n of_o a_o element_n in_o production_n and_o nutrition_n of_o creature_n as_o
