to his own nature ministreth féeding to the flame long And that you may proue of Camphyre and such other things whence it is no maruayle if waters of Bathes bée alwayes hot séeing the fire thorowe which they ware hote hath for a féedinge and propre subiect plentie of bitumen conteyned in the places vnder the earth and longe preseruing the flame This opinion of Agricola although it bee very like to bée true yit it hath a difficultie agaynst it bicause both experience and also the authoritie of the most learned men is agaynst it For Vitruuius which was a great searcher out of thinges vnder the earth willeth that the fyre is vnder the conduyts and yit Agricola sayeth it is not necessarie It is also agaynst the experience of the olde Romaynes who as they were moste wealthie least nothing vnproued amongest other things of those which did séeme vnpossible they practised to make a well whose water might continually slow hot and the matter succéeding according to their desire for they framed brasen pypes which they rouled into many roūdnesses so that the pypes did resemble the Spyres of a Dragon and for this cause they called the pypes dragons these pypes so framed had in the one part an hole by which cold water entred in and by another hole which they had belowe the waters of the fountayne did enter in and afterward vnder the spyres of the pypes they made fyre by which the water of the first spyre was skarcely heated the second more the thyrde yit more and so in all the water was more hote and so continually the water of the wel flowed hote and would alwais haue broken out hote if they had kepte the fire still vnder those spyres which thinge also you may perceyue by stillinge therefore séeing both experience and also authoritie teacheth that water can onely ware hote through fyre vnder it without bitumen it is false which Agricola hathe sayde that it is not necessary that fyre should be vnder the conduytes which thing also is hence euident bicause in the Bathe of S. Bartholomewes in the fielde of Padua as testifieth Fallopius their is a certayne well into which cold water entreth yit as soone as it is ther it waxed hote and this is not done bicause bitumen is there as sayth Fallopius but bicause fire is vnder that place Also in the Valley of the same bath there are two places out of the which ther is drawen clay and in the place wher clay was drawen out there is found Glarea and most hote marble and that heat procéedeth not of bitumen but of fyre vnder that Glarea Furthermore if waters were hote of fyre nourished of bitumen béeing in the conduytes as Agricola sayeth it would followe that all waters in theyr passage shoulde haue in them selues some fattynesse and also smell and taste of Bitumen yet this is false bycause there bée many in which there are none of these as the waters of the Bathes of Buckstone And those waters which haue Bitumen in déed as ther are some found which haue in them fattines and smell and taste of bitumen and all things as is the clay of S. Bartho which in déed tasteth of bitumen iudaicum as affirmeth Fallopius bicause that in that Bathe Bitumen burneth and therefore representeth smell and taste and all things of bitumen But some man will saye note you that fattines is not in all waters bycause perchaunce the bitumen which they conteyne is sound so that it can not bée melted This I graunt yet both the smell and also the taste ought to bée perceyued if it were true besydes that in such waters ther ought to bée vapoures of bitumen Therefore the matter of bitumen is not necessary in all waters that by reason of it they should be hote Therefore let vs omit the opinion of Agricola and come vnto another which is true and it is the opinion of Aristot and of them which doo followe Arist which is that the matter preseruinge fyre is Brimstone and that this was his opinion it is euident of him selfe in the 24. section of his Problemes and the last Probleme for there hée demaundeth the cause why hote Bathes were called holly and aunswereth bycause they wer made of things most holly And things most holly hée calleth Brimstone lightening and hée called Brimstone moste holly after the maner of the auncient persons which vsed it to clense their sacrifices wherevpon in Gréeke it is called theion as it were diuine of this place therefore it is clearely gathered that the mind and opinion of Aristo is that the matter preseruing fyre heating water is sulphur which séeinge it is not méete to be burned out in the conduytes of the earth it is necessary that it be burned out elswhere Hée sayeth besyde that lighteninge is the cause engendring such fyre and by the worde fulmen you maye not vnderstande Bitumen as amisse Ioannes de Dondis did that he might cleaue to the common opinion but Aristo hath accustomed in hys Problemes first to assigne the cause naturall then some common and the common opinion was that lightening dyd heate waters But let vs omit this and let vs come to the naturall and it is that the matter féeding fyre vnder the earth is Sulphur as experience it selfe teacheth For at Bath sensibly it may be proued that brimstone boyleth in the water yet I not deny that Bitumen also is not the continuall féeding of fyre but I affirme that fire in some places is fedde by brimstone and in some places by Bitumen So that I will conclude howe that necessarily the waters which doo waxe hot through Sulphur haue smell and tast of Sulphur as the bathes of Bath hath of which folowing more largely shal be entreated and those of Bitumen haue smell and tast of Bitumen But when as al bathes haue not immediatly th one of these hence it is that some waters be found which doo represent neyther Sulphure nor Bitumen as at Buckstone And when they passe through stonie places they doo lose straight way if they haue Sulphure or Bitumen bicause some waters do not boyle in Sulphur do waxe hot in the iorney Therfore such waters tast not of Sulphur the same I say of Bitumen séeing there be some waters which doo waxe hote through it that they passe through places in which Bitumen burneth and those which doo waxe hote thus wise doo not of brimstone nor bitumen Howbée it these waters if not immediatly yet mediatly they wax hote by reason either of brimstone or Bitumen preseruing the heat as in my benefite of Buckstones bathes may appeere But here ariseth a doubt why these fiers goe not forth séeing fier consumeth all things this is true if it be not still fed but Sulphur or Bitumen be quickly regenerated again therfore it is no dout that fier hauing matter to burn on is preserued alwayes That it quickly ingendreth again Strabo testifieth so that the digging of it béeinge intermitted for the space

of fower yeares they shal finde agayne as great plenty as afore whereby it is sufficient to feede fyre continually when as continually it is engendred and by the same reason for euer preserueth the bathes Lastely if it be obiected that if so great fyre be preserued vnder the earth that it may cause the waters to come forth so hote it should followe that where such hote bathes were there should bée vomica and a chimney out of whiche that flame shuld bée expelled I say it is not néed to ymagine that this flame is equall in all places but in some places is great in some small and therefore where it is greatest there it bursteth out and where it is small the smoke passeth out togyther with the water as at bathe which smoke smelleth there of the nature of sulphur howbeit in other places it may bée of bitumen and that smoke is made bothe bicause the sulphur and bitumen haue in them a porcion of earth melted and hence it is that this fyre may be longe preserued bicause it is a sound matter I call it sounde bycause both brimstone and bitumē be it neuer so pure and myngled haue alwayes earth mingled withall wherevpon although in some places the fire bée not great bycause it is in a sounde subiect which with his soundnes doth long endure the flame also endureth longe Therefore the matter by which fyre is fed in places vnder the earth is sulphur eyther pure or else commixed with his owne earth or else bitumen or some kinde thereof as Fallopius moste reasonably affyrmeth where you that bee learned if this suffise you not may reade further to content you That the metalles of bitumen or Sulphur doo take the beginninge of their heate of wynde inflamed in the places vnder the earth it is shewed But howe the waters do waxe hote thorowe that heate receyued in the Metalles and where that flame is conteyned wée muste nowe séeke séeing it is not euydent enough Therefore there bée in this thinge two opinions one of Agricola that the waters waxe hote bicause there is in the same conduite with the waters both fyre and coles by which they do waxe hot and the opinion is most lyke to be true and partly true bicause we sée with the water passing forth that some of the metal passeth forth and remaineth on the froth in which the water boyleth at Bath and this could not be except the fyre and water wer contayned in one and the same conduite The other is the opinion of Empedocles propounded vnto vs of Seneca that the waters be hot not bicause they passe thorough the burning metall as Agricola supposed but bicause they passe thorough places vnder which there is fyre kyndled togither with the metalles Which opiniō séemeth good enough For we haue in the springes of Buckston certaine well springes into which water entreth cold bicause they come not of one conduite but when it is ther commixed it waxeth hot which thinge wée can not saye too bée done through brimstone or bitumen there kindled and burning séeinge there appeareth neyther any metal nor fyre but wée must suppose that this is only done bycause the metall burneth vnder those conduites the water there is altogyther putable and yet do breake out hote as you haue heard which thing should not be if they waxed hote through their passage through metalles fyred but they would necessarily haue the smell and taste and some substance of that metall which as I haue saide they altogyther lacke therfore wée must say that they be not only in vse too bée dronke and to make meats of but also they wash their finest linnen whit and be more whyter than with the Ryuer water harde by and yet they breake out whote bycause they gette heate of the Stones by which they passe vnder which Stones ther is fyre kindled in any of the mettalles aforesayd This opinion of Empedocles Vitruuius a man of greate experyence confyrmeth what then must we suppose in this thing I lay that the meane by which waters do wax hote is two foulde both already propounded one verily propounded of the mynde of Agricola and the other of Empedocles for some are heated bicause they passe thorough stonie places vnder which ther is fyre kindled and burning in the metall of brimstone or bitumen neyther are these stones therfore turned into chalke that one myght iudge or into ashes bicause they can not be disgested or bicause the heat is slack and lytle and so greate onely as may heale the stones and waters or bicause if it be much it is farre distāt from those stones And other doe waxe hot bicause they passe thorough the mettall it selfe fyred and burning as Agricola supposed you may gather of these two wayes by which waters doe waxe hot the cause why some of the waters of bathes break out most hote as the hote bath at Bath other meanly hot as the crosse bath other betwen both as the kings bath other warme as Buckstones other cold as at Halliwel in Flint shyre called in brittish Fannon Onen Freny which yit be bath waters and haue a medicinable force facultie Therfore the causes of these differences are two that is smalnesse and distance of the fyre for if heate being in the conduytes be much and strong and that water maketh his iourney not very long before it breake out of the earth it wyll flow most hote but if the fyre be lytle and the iourney long it wyll be warme If the fyre be much the iourney meanely long it wyll be meanely hot as contrarily if the fyre be lytle and the iourney most short bicause the water should keape the whole heate which it hath receaued And the contrary happeneth if it take a long iourney bicause in the passage some heate euaporateth continually After the same maner you may saye of water which doth not waxe hote thorow fyre béeing in the conduytes but by reason of hote stones vnder which there is fyre kindled in the metalles and that may be little or much and neare or farre of those stones and so the heate of the waters shal be varied by reason of the next situation or the flame farre of as also by reason of the smalnesse or muchnesse of the same to which you must adde the long or short iorney which the water it selfe maketh before it breake out of the earth for it may be that fyre to be much and neare the water flowing ouer and yit the water wil passe forth warme or lue warme or cold bicause the water hath lost all that heat in the long iourney as in Buckstones bathes benefyte you may reade Hitherto we haue shewed that Bathes be hote alwayes bicause the fire is continuall and that the fyre is continuall bicause new féeding may be ministred and that the féeding is alwayes ministred bicause in places vnder the earth there is matter of which it may be engendred Moreouer it hath appeared how that fyre hath bin
