there_o be_v a_o multitude_n of_o other_o body_n which_o will_v turn_v the_o syrup_n green_a yet_o have_v in_o they_o a_o manifest_a acid_n as_o oil_n and_o vinous_a spirit_n which_o though_o they_o have_v a_o manifest_a acid_n yet_o it_o be_v so_o sheathe_v in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o fluid_a that_o it_o can_v be_v unlock_v or_o set_v at_o liberty_n to_o exert_v itself_o by_o so_o dammy_a a_o body_n as_o syr._n of_o violet_n yet_o they_o operate_v on_o other_o body_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o acid_n as_o oil_n of_o turpentine_n will_v dissolve_v copper_n the_o acid_n in_o sulphur_n turpentine_n spital_n make_v quicksilver_n easy_o embody_n with_o they_o and_o because_o i_o say_v it_o be_v from_o the_o turpentine_n consist_v of_o ramous_a and_o flexible_a part_n he_o think_v it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o say_v they_o consist_v of_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o till_o i_o show_v he_o those_o ramous_a and_o flexible_a part_n he_o must_v believe_v it_o be_v from_o the_o acid_n that_o they_o embody_n with_o mercury_n what_o the_o gentleman_n say_v now_o be_v much_o to_o the_o purpose_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v help_v to_o bring_v the_o acidists_n to_o sense_n for_o if_o the_o saliva_n turn_v the_o syrup_n green_a do_v not_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v not_o impregnate_v with_o and_o do_v not_o act_n as_o a_o manifest_a acid_n than_o the_o serum_n of_o blood_n be_v turn_v syrup_n of_o violet_n green_a do_v not_o prove_v that_o to_o abound_v with_o a_o alkali_n and_o not_o to_o be_v a_o acid_n and_o so_o what_o mr._n colebatch_n assert_n be_v a_o mistake_n and_o his_o criterion_n fallible_a and_o so_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o hypothesis_n be_v go_v and_o the_o gentleman_n must_v take_v his_o doctrine_n mere_o upon_o his_o word_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o multitude_n of_o other_o body_n which_o turn_n syr._n of_o violet_n green_a that_o be_v to_o be_v denominate_v acid_n from_o their_o quality_n of_o which_o if_o they_o be_v divest_v they_o will_v fail_v of_o their_o intention_n which_o they_o perform_v with_o it_o as_o he_o say_v pag._n 26._o then_o gentleman_n can_v be_v no_o more_o judge_n of_o his_o master_n colebatch_n hypothesis_n but_o how_o the_o gentleman_n shall_v assert_v that_o vinous_a spirit_n and_o oil_n of_o turpentine_n etc._n etc._n have_v manifest_a acid_n i_o can_v tell_v unless_o the_o constant_a use_n of_o crab_n verjuice_n make_v all_o thing_n relish_v so_o with_o he_o for_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o never_o make_v it_o manifest_v to_o any_o that_o be_v not_o a_o acidist_n and_o that_o oil_n of_o turpentine_n acid_n can_v be_v unlock_v by_o the_o clammy_a body_n of_o syr._n of_o violet_n and_o yet_o that_o it_o work_v upon_o the_o much_o more_o tough_a body_n of_o copper_n be_v very_o strange_a if_o true_a but_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o thing_n consist_v of_o ramous_a part_n shall_v be_v consist_v of_o nothing_o or_o that_o whatever_o be_v not_o do_v by_o particle_n a_o gentleman_n can_v see_v must_v be_v do_v by_o acid_n but_o the_o gentleman_n must_v believe_v it_o and_o who_o can_v help_v it_o but_o he_o profess_v he_o will_v not_o believe_v i_o that_o insipid_a calx_n will_v kill_v quicsiklver_n till_o i_o tell_v he_o more_o of_o it_o for_o he_o know_v none_o that_o will_v hold_v it_o so_o long_o as_o saline_n or_o acid_n body_n well_o because_o he_o be_v now_o a_o gentleman_n i_o will_v tell_v he_o more_o of_o it_o than_o i_o do_v before_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o calx_v indifferent_o will_v hold_v quicksilver_n so_o long_o as_o any_o saline_a or_o acid_n body_n what_o the_o calx_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n may_v do_v i_o will_v leave_v to_o they_o that_o have_v make_v all_o the_o enquiry_n into_o the_o nature_n of_o metal_n human_a industry_n be_v capable_a of_o i_o know_v it_o will_v amalgam_fw-la with_o metal_n that_o destroy_v acid_n but_o if_o you_o take_v almost_o any_o calx_fw-la or_o earth_n not_o too_o dry_a you_o may_v rub_v mercury_n in_o it_o so_o as_o to_o lose_v sight_n of_o it_o and_o so_o as_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o separate_v it_o but_o by_o fire_n yea_o mercury_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o be_v concern_v with_o thing_n that_o be_v no_o acid_n that_o it_o will_v become_v invisible_o embody_v with_o common_a water_n and_o the_o part_n and_o humour_n of_o a_o man_n body_n notwithstanding_o all_o his_o alkaly_n in_o sickness_n and_o in_o health_n the_o gentleman_n say_v the_o trial_n i_o make_v on_o saliva_n be_v of_o that_o take_v from_o sound_a person_n often_o eat_v and_o drink_v acid_n he_o understand_v acid_n do_v not_o impair_v their_o health_n i_o answer_v he_o do_v understand_v no_o such_o thing_n for_o acid_n do_v often_o so_o much_o towards_o impair_n that_o have_v they_o not_o use_v alkalous_a thing_n to_o over_o balance_v they_o they_o will_v not_o have_v be_v sound_a long_o and_o though_o in_o the_o distillation_n as_o he_o mind_v i_o i_o find_v a_o salsum_n in_o the_o cap._n mort._n from_o which_o a_o acid_n may_v be_v get_v yet_o that_o salsum_n i_o take_v to_o be_v nothing_o but_o sea_n salt_n which_o will_v not_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o acid_n otherwise_o than_o by_o a_o strong_a fire_n our_o gentleman_n remark_n also_o that_o i_o say_v saliva_n when_o evaporate_v yield_v a_o grateful_a smell_n but_o his_o dr._n know_v that_o nutmeg_n cinnamon_n etc._n etc._n and_o all_o odoriferous_a vegetable_n abound_v with_o acid_n and_o sulphur_n from_o whence_o proceed_v their_o grateful_a smell_v it_o be_v not_o then_o reasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o that_o pleasant_a smell_n in_o the_o saliva_n come_v from_o acid_n and_o sulphur_n i_o reply_v the_o dr._n know_v no_o such_o thing_n he_o never_o see_v sulphur_n in_o or_o get_v from_o aromatic_a or_o odoriferous_a plant_n nor_o do_v their_o smell_n proceed_v from_o sulphur_n and_o acid_n but_o from_o pure_a oil_n the_o smell_n of_o sulphur_n every_o body_n know_v be_v not_o pleasant_a but_o mix_v with_o oil_n both_o become_v abominable_a stinker_n but_o he_o give_v a_o reason_n such_o as_o it_o be_v for_o all_o animal_n substance_n when_o tend_v to_o corruption_n emit_v a_o noxious_a smell_n and_o from_o they_o in_o that_o state_n he_o can_v find_v a_o salsum_n as_o i_o do_v from_o saliva_n but_o i_o say_v that_o from_o animal_n substance_n in_o a_o state_n of_o corruption_n i_o can_v find_v a_o salsum_n as_o from_o blood_n urine_n etc._n etc._n though_o he_o can_v the_o gentleman_n in_o answer_n to_o what_o i_o say_v of_o the_o stomach_n that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o acid_n there_o and_o that_o my_o stomach_n be_v best_a when_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o curdle_n milk_n reply_n that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o acid_n in_o the_o stomach_n though_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o curdle_n milk_n for_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o wine_n nay_o vinegar_n dilute_v in_o water_n pour_v slow_o into_o milk_n will_v not_o curdle_n it_o and_o wine_n have_v in_o they_o a_o manifest_a acid_n and_o vegetable_n in_o who_o acid_n abound_v decoct_v in_o milk_n will_v not_o coagulate_v it_o i_o answer_v a_o small_a quantity_n of_o acid_n though_o not_o enough_o to_o coagulate_a milk_n pour_v into_o it_o slow_o will_v yet_o do_v it_o if_o digest_v in_o a_o heat_n like_o that_o of_o the_o stomach_n but_o wine_n be_v not_o manifest_o acid_n unless_o they_o taste_v four_o and_o the_o vegetable_n he_o talk_v of_o be_v nameless_a he_o say_v far_a pag._n 27._o to_o convince_v i_o that_o the_o saliva_n act_n as_o a_o acid_n he_o will_v inquire_v what_o juice_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o stomach_n to_o cause_v hunger_n and_o he_o can_v find_v none_o but_o the_o saliva_n therefore_o he_o conclude_v hunger_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o juice_n strain_v from_o the_o salival_n gland_n and_o in_o fever_n when_o that_o moisture_n be_v deficient_a there_o be_v no_o desire_n of_o food_n and_o also_o that_o lemon_n and_o orange_n cause_n hunger_n and_o if_o hunger_n be_v cause_v only_o by_o acid_n he_o will_v have_v i_o prove_v what_o juice_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o stomach_n from_o any_o other_o part_n that_o yield_v more_o acid._n the_o gentleman_n be_v so_o profound_a at_o reason_v one_o must_v sometime_o have_v a_o long_a line_n to_o fish_n for_o his_o argument_n come_v on_o then_o let_v we_o try_v to_o catch_v this_o the_o saliva_n act_n as_o a_o acid_n and_o why_o because_o he_o can_v find_v no_o other_o juice_n bring_v into_o the_o stomach_n to_o cause_v hunger_n and_o if_o hunger_n be_v cause_v only_o by_o acid_n i_o must_v prove_v some_o other_o juice_n bring_v in_o from_o some_o other_o part_n that_o yield_v more_o well_o but_o if_o hunger_n be_v not_o cause_v by_o acid_n or_o by_o juice_n and_o he_o have_v prove_v neither_o

bittern_n will_v rise_v in_o the_o fire_n and_o come_v over_o i_o do_v not_o say_v yield_v good_a spirit_n of_o salt_n and_o the_o gent._n be_v much_o mistake_v in_o suppose_v the_o spirit_n be_v

if_o the_o use_n of_o alkaly_n can_v be_v thus_o demonstrate_v he_o shall_v remain_v a_o proselyte_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o acid_n and_o thus_o say_v he_o he_o have_v give_v his_o thought_n in_o

the_o gentleman_n have_v at_o last_o answer_v his_o doctor_n request_n and_o pick_v out_o here_o and_o there_o a_o expression_n in_o my_o dialogue_n which_o he_o think_v he_o can_v say_v some_o
