this_o metalline_a horn_n depend_v upon_o the_o texture_n of_o the_o compositum_fw-la result_v from_o the_o respective_a texture_n of_o the_o several_a ingredient_n i_o precipitate_v a_o solution_n

remain_v unmentiond_v for_o 7_o it_o be_v odd_a that_o whereas_o a_o solution_n of_o silver_n be_v as_o we_o have_v often_o occasion_n to_o note_n the_o bitter_a liquor_n we_o have_v ever_o meet_v with_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o salt_n far_o sour_a than_o either_o the_o sharp_a vinegar_n or_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o it_o these_o two_o so_o strong_o and_o offensive_o taste_v liquor_n shall_v be_v so_o easy_o and_o speedy_o without_o any_o other_o thing_n to_o correct_v they_o be_v reduce_v into_o a_o insipid_a substance_n at_o least_o so_o far_o insipid_a that_o i_o have_v lick_v it_o several_a time_n with_o my_o tongue_n without_o find_v it_o otherwise_o though_o perhaps_o with_o much_o roll_a it_o to_o and_o fro_o in_o the_o mouth_n it_o may_v at_o length_n afford_v some_o unpleasant_a taste_n but_o exceed_o different_a from_o that_o of_o either_o of_o the_o liquor_n that_o compose_v it_o and_o this_o though_o the_o salt_n that_o make_v both_o the_o silver_n and_o the_o praecipitate_v spirit_n so_o strong_o taste_v remain_v associate_v with_o the_o silver_n 8._o and_o last_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o though_o the_o saline_a corpuscle_n that_o give_v the_o efficacy_n both_o to_o good_a aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la and_o the_o like_a spirit_n of_o salt_n be_v not_o only_o so_o volatile_a that_o they_o will_v easy_o be_v distil_v with_o a_o moderate_a fire_n

with_o a_o very_a ingenious_a traveller_n and_o chemist_n who_o have_v have_v extraordinary_a opportunity_n to_o acquire_v secret_n of_o a_o certain_a odd_a salt_n i_o have_v think_v upon_o and_o

they_o such_o as_o vulgar_a chemist_n must_v according_a to_o their_o principle_n look_v upon_o as_o pure_o saline_n and_o be_v each_o of_o they_o far_o more_o salt_n than_o brine_n or_o more_o sour_a than_o the_o strong_a vinegar_n or_o more_o strong_o taste_v then_o either_o of_o those_o two_o liquor_n yet_o the_o compound_v make_v up_o of_o only_a such_o body_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v

though_o its_o sweetness_n be_v of_o a_o peculiar_a kind_n as_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n even_o among_o body_n sweet_a by_o nature_n the_o sweetness_n of_o sugar_n be_v divers_a from_o that_o of_o honey_n and_o both_o of_o they_o differ_v from_o that_o of_o the_o sweet_a vitriol_n of_o lead_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a instance_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v hitherto_o meet_v with_o of_o

in_o they_o and_o by_o that_o licence_n of_o speak_v do_v often_o enough_o impose_v upon_o the_o unskilful_a another_o thing_n considerable_a in_o our_o anomalous_a salt_n be_v that_o though_o its_o

of_o sal_fw-la ammoniac_a its_o self_n that_o have_v complain_v of_o this_o smell_n as_o more_o strong_a and_o upon_o that_o account_n more_o unsupportable_a than_o these_o themselves_o and_o yet_o when_o these_o fume_n settle_v again_o into_o a_o salt_n their_o odour_n will_v again_o

then_o with_o a_o very_a gentle_a fire_n abstract_a the_o spirit_n of_o wine_n that_o will_v first_o ascend_v and_o when_o the_o drop_n begin_v to_o come_v over_o sowrish_n shift_v the_o receiver_n

to_o produce_v the_o recite_v phaenomena_n and_o though_o the_o attempt_n succeed_v not_o ill_o as_o to_o divers_a particular_n yet_o i_o afterward_o choose_v rather_o to_o employ_v oil_n of_o

you_o will_v find_v at_o the_o bottom_n that_o the_o two_o above_o mention_v diaphanous_a spirit_n for_o oil_n of_o vitriol_n be_v indeed_o rather_o a_o saline_n spirit_n than_o a_o oil_n have_v
