A55637	A short treatise of metal & mineral waters viz. those of the Spaw, Bathe, Epsom, North-hall, Barnet, Tunbridge, and the new-wells at Islington. Wherein is described their bad as well as good qualities, with the danger of peoples too frequent and unadvisedly drinking them. BY E.P. M.D.	Prat, Ellis.	1684 (1684)	Wing P3181; ESTC R219547	22,721	75

humane_a sagacity_n first_o then_o he_o say_v the_o sea-water_n because_o it_o be_v heavy_a can_v ascend_v to_o such_o a_o height_n as_o the_o top_n of_o mountain_n but_o to_o this_o have_v be_v several_a refutation_n some_o ascribe_v this_o motion_n to_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o celestial_a body_n and_o they_o say_v this_o motion_n be_v not_o violent_a though_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o private_a inclination_n of_o its_o proper_a form_n if_o the_o potentia_fw-la obedientialis_fw-la be_v consider_v whereby_o inferior_a body_n be_v make_v to_o obey_v their_o superior_n etc._n etc._n other_o say_v there_o be_v a_o certain_a insite_fw-la attractive_a faculty_n in_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o earth_n whereby_o it_o suck_v water_n out_o of_o the_o sea_n as_o the_o vein_n of_o animal_n suck_v blood_n other_o there_o be_v but_o too_o long_o for_o this_o place_n and_o whole_o philosophical_a and_o so_o not_o easy_o to_o be_v understand_v by_o ordinary_a capacity_n and_o so_o i_o omit_v they_o then_o second_o he_o say_v before_o the_o water_n can_v reach_v the_o mountain_n out_o of_o the_o sea_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o be_v give_v but_o it_o will_v break_v forth_o but_o the_o earth_n have_v passage_n in_o some_o place_n and_o in_o some_o none_o then_o whatsoever_o he_o assign_v to_o be_v the_o original_n of_o fountain_n it_o may_v be_v query_v why_o in_o some_o place_n and_o mountain_n there_o be_v fountain_n and_o river_n and_o in_o some_o none_o then_o three_o he_o say_v if_o it_o be_v so_o rivers_z will_v never_o be_v less_o but_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v river_n sometime_o grow_v less_o from_o what_o portion_n be_v lose_v which_o come_v from_o fall_n of_o shower_n and_o snow_n and_o when_o part_n be_v suck_v up_o by_o the_o dryness_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n etc._n etc._n four_o he_o say_v the_o sea_n will_v not_o satisfy_v so_o many_o river_n when_o the_o great_a part_n of_o water_n vanish_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o sea_n receive_v only_o as_o much_o as_o it_o give_v forth_o as_o solomon_n say_v river_n flow_v to_o the_o sea_n that_o they_o may_v flow_v out_o again_o then_o if_o the_o great_a part_n of_o water_n shall_v vanish_v the_o sea_n will_v long_o ago_o have_v be_v waste_v but_o the_o extract_a vapour_n be_v recondense_v into_o water_n which_o either_o flow_v into_o the_o sea_n or_o fall_v upon_o the_o earth_n to_o augment_v the_o river_n which_o at_o length_n unburthen_v themselves_o into_o the_o sea_n five_o he_o say_v there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n give_v why_o it_o shall_v flow_v from_o one_o mountain_n and_o not_o from_o another_o but_o the_o answer_n to_o his_o second_o objection_n solve_v this_o last_o he_o say_v fountain_n and_o river_n will_v taste_v saltish_a and_o brackish_a but_o to_o this_o be_v answer_v that_o sea-water_n whilst_o it_o pass_v through_o various_a vein_n sinew_n and_o meander_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o be_v as_o it_o be_v strain_v it_o sensible_o depose_v its_o saltness_n and_o bitterness_n hence_o the_o more_o remote_a fountain_n be_v from_o the_o sea_n the_o sweet_a they_o be_v if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o water_n be_v more_o likely_a to_o contract_v a_o bitterness_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o exhalation_n it_o receive_v from_o the_o earth_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o they_o be_v not_o any_o sort_n of_o exhalation_n that_o produce_v bitterness_n but_o only_o adust_a one_o and_o all_o be_v not_o such_o in_o the_o entrails_n the_o earth_n therefore_o now_o cardan_n we_o may_v conclude_v i_o hope_v have_v not_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o contradict_v solomon_n chap._n ii_o of_o the_o division_n of_o fountain_n and_o of_o mineral_n and_o metal_n water_n have_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n give_v the_o reader_n a_o plain_a account_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o origine_fw-la of_o fountain_n we_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n see_v how_o many_o sort_n of_o fountain_n there_o be_v but_o because_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o natural_a philosopher_n and_o hydrographer_n and_o nothing_o of_o a_o advantage_n to_o our_o present_a purpose_n we_o shall_v whole_o omit_v it_o and_o only_o speak_v of_o mineral_n and_o metallic_n fountain_n as_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o our_o present_a discourse_n now_o those_o i_o call_v mineral_n and_o metallic_n water_n which_o participate_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o faculty_n of_o that_o metal_n or_o mineral_n through_o which_o they_o pass_v in_o the_o cavern_n and_o vein_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o which_o be_v either_o 1_o salt_n 2_o vitriol_n 3_o allumn_n 4_o bitumen_n 5_o naptha_n 6_o nitre_n 7_o gypsum_fw-la 8_o arsenic_n 9_o cadmia_n 10_o antimony_n 11_o chrysocolla_n 12_o ochre_n 13_o lime_n 14_o

upon_o they_o in_o their_o journey_n a_o considerable_a part_n and_o portion_n of_o their_o good_a and_o bad_a quality_n i_o think_v it_o very_o requisite_a before_o i_o discourse_v of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o water_n themselves_o to_o say_v something_o of_o the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o the_o metal_n and_o mineral_n they_o be_v mix_v with_o that_o thereby_o you_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o water_n proceed_v from_o they_o then_o we_o will_v begin_v with_o salt_n the_o faculty_n of_o salt_n be_v great_a many_o and_o very_o useful_a to_o man_n but_o not_o so_o necessary_a in_o physic_n as_o many_o think_v such_o as_o your_o quack_a chemist_n who_o predicate_v many_o wonderful_a and_o vain_a story_n of_o salt_n reduce_v by_o their_o chemical_a art_n for_o they_o audacious_o assert_v that_o their_o be_v a_o purgative_n faculty_n in_o medicament_n because_o of_o salt_n and_o when_o they_o have_v get_v some_o extract_n from_o any_o medicament_n than_o they_o present_o aver_v that_o they_o have_v get_v its_o salt_n forsooth_o but_o these_o be_v thing_n above_o the_o vulgar_a capacity_n i_o shall_v say_v salt_n be_v very_a conservative_n of_o a_o astr_n absterge_v purge_v discuss_v repress_v extenuate_a quality_n and_o vindicate_v the_o body_n from_o putrefaction_n yet_o some_o salt_n be_v better_a than_o other_o but_o use_v immoderate_o produce_v very_o bad_a effect_n as_o sharp_a salt_n corrode_a humour_n all_o over_o the_o body_n scab_n leprosy_n the_o stone_n and_o other_o dire_a disease_n as_o dulness_n of_o sight_n disorderly_a fermentation_n in_o the_o blood_n render_v it_o thick_a and_o earthy_a by_o burn_v it_o schroder_n think_v thus_o of_o the_o original_a of_o salt_n the_o macrocosm_n he_o say_v as_o the_o other_o two_o kingdom_n i._n e._n the_o vegetable_a and_o animal_n be_v sustain_v and_o live_v by_o its_o food_n in_o this_o abound_v a_o salt_n answer_v to_o the_o salt_n excrement_n in_o the_o sweat_n urine_n and_o dejection_n in_o animal_n now_o the_o salt_n of_o the_o great_a world_n congregat_v into_o the_o inferior_a glob_n be_v of_o a_o dverse_a kind_n according_a to_o the_o
