a_o description_n of_o a_o new_a kind_n of_o artificial_a bath_n late_o invent_v which_o be_v every_o way_n answerable_a unto_o the_o ancient_a bath_n of_o the_o grecian_n and_o roman_n for_o the_o diverse_a use_n though_o no_o way_n comparable_a to_o they_o for_o the_o excessive_a charge_n use_v vain_a ostentation_n thereof_o because_o those_o be_v build_v like_o prince_n palace_n have_v distinct_a part_n or_o office_n but_o these_o take_v up_o no_o more_o room_n than_o be_v necessary_a which_o be_v not_o above_o six_o yard_n in_o compass_n for_o the_o outward_a form_n like_o the_o body_n of_o a_o small_a coach_n either_o round_a or_o square_n cover_v all_o over_o with_o leather_n velvet_n or_o other_o stuff_n partly_o to_o keep_v out_o the_o better_a cold_a air_n and_o partly_o to_o keep_v in_o the_o hot_a vapour_n and_o partly_o to_o adorn_v it_o be_v frame_v with_o no_o great_a cost_n and_o may_v daily_o be_v use_v upon_o half_a a_o hover_v warning_n without_o any_o

powerful_o upon_o all_o part_n of_o the_o body_n except_o the_o head_n which_o be_v only_o free_a for_o the_o benefit_n of_o fresh_a air_n so_o covert_o that_o neither_o the_o party_n bathe_v nor_o the_o attendant_n in_o the_o chamber_n can_v either_o see_v hear_v or_o well_o perceive_v how_o from_o whence_o or_o by_o what_o direct_a mean_v the_o warm_a water_n or_o liquor_n come_v and_o go_v
