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

we_o see_v the_o sea_n water_n to_o contain_v in_o it_o the_o substance_n of_o salt_n and_o most_o of_o the_o salt_n which_o we_o use_v be_v make_v of_o sea_n water_n and_o no_o man_n will_v deny_v that_o this_o salt_n be_v differ_v from_o water_n in_o his_o substance_n and_o generation_n be_v a_o distinct_a species_n in_o itself_o and_o whereas_o they_o allege_v for_o confirmation_n of_o their_o opinion_n that_o under_o the_o torrid_a zone_n the_o sea_n be_v more_o salt_n then_o in_o other_o part_n the_o sun_n exhale_v more_o there_o and_o make_v a_o great_a adustion_n i_o doubt_v

not_o hot_a neither_o be_v the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o hot_a but_o that_o man_n do_v endure_v they_o and_o therefore_o not_o likely_a to_o breed_v a_o adustion_n in_o the_o sea_n water_n which_o must_v first_o be_v hot_a before_o it_o be_v adu_v also_o it_o may_v be_v that_o those_o part_n do_v abound_v in_o rock_n of_o salt_n as_o we_o read_v of_o people_n in_o africa_n call_v

and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v more_o salt_n than_o the_o bottom_n they_o speak_v against_o all_o reason_n salt_n be_v heavy_a than_o water_n and_o against_o experience_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n also_o aristotle_n in_o some_o place_n confess_v it_o c.3_n but_o if_o any_o man_n will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o vapour_n away_o 100_o tun_n if_o he_o will_v of_o fresh_a water_n i_o do_v assure_v myself_o he_o will_v not_o find_v one_o grain_n of_o salt_n at_o the_o bottom_n if_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o water_n before_o this_o may_v be_v try_v also_o in_o any_o distil_a water_n which_o we_o be_v sure_o can_v have_v no_o salt_n in_o it_o for_o salt_n will_v not_o arise_v in_o distillation_n and_o be_v as_o apt_a to_o yield_v salt_n as_o any_o other_o water_n if_o adustion_n or_o evaporation_n will_v breed_v it_o wherefore_o the_o saltness_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v not_o from_o evaporation_n or_o

which_o will_v strike_v down_o all_o other_o part_n in_o the_o juice_n or_o decoction_n but_o the_o salt_n which_o be_v in_o it_o will_v not_o easy_o precipitate_v but_o will_v remain_v in_o the_o liquor_n and_o must_v be_v sever_v either_o by_o evaporation_n or_o by_o roch_v but_o in_o this_o work_n we_o must_v make_v choice_n of_o such_o a_o precipitator_n as_o may_v not_o infect_v our_o salt_n with_o any_o strange_a quality_n 2._o another_o way_n it_o to_o make_v a_o extract_n of_o the_o simple_a which_o we_o desire_v to_o work_v upon_o and_o when_o we_o have_v make_v it_o so_o dry_a as_o it_o will_v be_v powder_v then_o pour_v upon_o it_o pure_a spirit_n of_o wine_n which_o will_v dissolve_v no_o salt_n if_o it_o be_v without_o phlegm_n by_o this_o mean_n throng_v often_o

etc._n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o simple_n whereas_o the_o other_o salt_n which_o be_v make_v by_o calcination_n have_v lose_v these_o virtue_n by_o the_o violence_n of_o fire_n and_o can_v be_v distinguish_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o nitre_n nitre_n be_v a_o volatile_a substance_n which_o do_v dry_a and_o attenuate_v more_o than_o salt_n and_o although_o it_o have_v not_o
