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

for_o the_o continuance_n can_v be_v answerable_a to_o our_o bath_n for_o vegetable_n there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n as_o for_o dead_a animal_n neither_o do_v the_o earth_n breed_v such_o plenty_n of_o these_o in_o her_o bowel_n as_o to_o procure_v a_o month_n heat_n to_o a_o tun_n of_o water_n in_o one_o place_n wherefore_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o ground_n upon_o but_o mineral_n substance_n whereof_o the_o earth_n afford_v enough_o for_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o be_v replenish_v with_o mineral_n seed_n and_o although_o some_o may_v think_v that_o because_o mineral_n be_v not_o find_v or_o not_o wrought_v in_o all_o place_n and_o that_o some_o water_n be_v also_o find_v which_o do_v not_o participate_v of_o the_o virtue_n of_o mineral_n that_o therefore_o our_o hot_a bath_n proceed_v not_o from_o the_o fermentation_n of_o mineral_n but_o from_o some_o other_o cause_n they_o be_v mistake_v for_o although_o metal_n be_v not_o frequent_a in_o some_o place_n or_o at_o the_o least_o not_o discover_v yet_o a_o man_n shall_v hardly_o dig_v ten_o foot_n deep_a in_o any_o place_n but_o he_o shall_v find_v rock_n of_o stone_n which_o have_v

quality_n but_o from_o mineral_n therefore_o where_o bath_n be_v there_o must_v be_v mineral_n although_o where_o mineral_n be_v there_o be_v not_o always_o bath_n but_o perhaps_o they_o be_v not_o so_o accumulate_v as_o by_o their_o contiguity_n they_o be_v able_a to_o yield_v any_o manifest_a heat_n their_o matter_n be_v disperse_v as_o grain_n of_o corn_n sow_v in_o a_o field_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o lie_a single_a do_v not_o show_v a_o sensible_a heat_n in_o their_o fermentation_n or_o most_o metal_n breed_v between_o a_o hanger_n and_o a_o lieger_n which_o agricola_n call_v pendens_fw-la and_o jacens_fw-la be_v seldom_o above_o a_o foot_n thick_a and_o therefore_o can_v yield_v much_o heat_n to_o our_o water_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o have_v so_o few_o

they_o meet_v with_o desert_a sand_n as_o in_o arabia_n china_n africa_n etc._n etc._n which_o drink_v up_o the_o water_n and_o hinder_v the_o eruption_n of_o it_o and_o whereas_o there_o be_v some_o hot_a spring_n find_v which_o do_v not_o show_v any_o mineral_n quality_n in_o they_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o may_v be_v the_o want_n of_o concrete_a juice_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o be_v the_o medium_n of_o communicate_v mineral_n quality_n and_o substance_n with_o water_n for_o without_o they_o water_n be_v as_o unapt_a to_o imbibe_n mineral_n as_o it_o be_v to_o unite_v with_o oil_n so_o as_o water_n may_v of_o itself_o receive_v actual_a heat_n from_o the_o fermentation_n of_o mineral_n but_o not_o their_o quality_n without_o the_o mediation_n of_o some_o of_o the_o concrete_a juice_n as_o contrariwise_o we_o find_v some_o fowtain_n that_o receive_v mineral_n quality_n and_o yet_o be_v cold_a whereof_o i_o have_v give_v many_o example_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v either_o for_o that_o they_o have_v pass_v a_o long_a way_n and_o by_o many_o meander_n from_o the_o place_n of_o generation_n to_o the_o place_n of_o their_o eruption_n and_o so_o have_v lose_v their_o heat_n or_o else_o the_o concrete_a juice_n which_o will_v dissolve_v in_o water_n without_o any_o heat_n be_v impregnate_v with_o other_o mineral_n do_v impart_v they_o to_o water_n and_o yet_o without_o heat_n but_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o earth_n without_o mineral_n seed_n be_v to_o make_v a_o vacuum_n in_o rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la and_o to_o destroy_v the_o use_n of_o the_o element_n it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o seed_n do_v do_v not_o always_o meet_v with_o opportunity_n to_o display_v themselves_o and_o sometime_o they_o be_v fain_o to_o serve_v under_o other_o colour_n which_o be_v more_o predominant_a but_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n without_o some_o seed_n or_o other_o and_o from_o hence_o we_o must_v derive_v the_o original_n of_o the_o actual_a heat_n of_o bath_n for_o nothing_o else_o in_o the_o world_n will_v serve_v our_o turn_n to_o procure_v so_o lasting_a and_o so_o uniform_a a_o heat_n unto_o they_o and_o that_o not_o by_o

will_v not_o burn_v neither_o have_v any_o actual_a heat_n in_o themselves_o be_v all_o cold_a to_o the_o touch_n but_o receive_v it_o by_o a_o ferment_a heat_n which_o they_o have_v in_o their_o

of_o they_o do_v aver_v it_o and_o bring_v argument_n and_o example_n to_o prove_v it_o for_o although_o water_n be_v a_o fuel_n to_o fire_n as_o oil_n be_v yet_o there_o can_v be_v no_o fire_n without_o air_n and_o water_n exclude_v air_n and_o so_o do_v oil_n if_o the_o fire_n be_v beneath_o it_o and_o cover_v with_o it_o as_o for_o their_o argument_n they_o say_v that_o bitumen_n be_v

also_o it_o hinder_v the_o quick_a burn_a of_o it_o and_o so_o make_v it_o continue_v the_o long_o so_o in_o a_o vulcano_n after_o rain_n they_o find_v the_o fire_n to_o burn_v more_o when_o the_o bitumen_n be_v small_a and_o in_o dust_n although_o this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n of_o it_o that_o the_o lime_n which_o have_v there_o be_v calcine_v be_v by_o rain_n dissolve_v increase_v the_o
