yellow_a and_o then_o black_a but_o gold_n be_v not_o all_o discolour_a thereby_o 2._o if_o this_o water_n be_v a_o little_a boil_a it_o lose_v its_o ting_a property_n and_o also_o stink_a odour_n 3._o it_o coagulate_v milk_n if_o it_o be_v boil_v therewith_o 4._o the_o distil_a water_n thereof_o lose_v its_o odour_n and_o do_v not_o coagulate_v milk_n 5._o if_o the_o water_n be_v boil_v it_o will_v still_o coagulate_v milk_n though_o it_o lose_v its_o odour_n 6._o seven_o gallon_n yield_v by_o evaporation_n a_o pound_n of_o salt_n which_o though_o at_o first_o black_a i_o have_v make_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n 7._o this_o salt_n coagulate_v milk_n also_o 8._o this_o water_n kill_v worm_n and_o such_o kind_n of_o creature_n present_o if_o they_o be_v put_v therein_o 9_o i_o fill_v two_o vial_n glass_n with_o this_o water_n in_o wet_a weather_n and_o stop_v the_o one_o but_o the_o other_o i_o leave_v open_a the_o water_n in_o that_o which_o be_v stop_v within_o a_o hour_n or_o

alter_v not_o 10._o i_o fill_v two_o vial_n glass_n in_o fair_a weather_n whereof_o the_o one_o i_o stop_v but_o the_o other_o leave_v open_a the_o water_n in_o neither_o of_o they_o turn_v colour_v any_o whit_n considerable_o only_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o thin_a whitish_a matter_n after_o two_o or_o three_o day_n fall_v to_o the_o bottom_n the_o water_n continue_v very_o clear_a the_o water_n of_o that_o glass_n which_o be_v stop_v retain_v its_o odour_n most_o 11._o a_o pint_n of_o this_o water_n weigh_v two_o scruple_n i_o e._n forty_o grain_n more_o than_o a_o pint_n of_o common_a spring-water_n note_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o its_o ting_a white_a metal_n be_v not_o from_o any_o bodily_a sulphur_n or_o bitumen_n mix_v with_o it_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o will_v not_o mix_v with_o water_n but_o swim_v on_o it_o as_o in_o the_o spring_n at_o pitchford_n in_o shropshire_n and_o in_o avernia_n in_o france_n and_o in_o divers_a other_o place_n but_o from_o the_o vapour_n or_o the_o subtle_a atom_n and_o efluvia_n thereof_o which_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o water_n and_o in_o boil_a be_v evaporate_v the_o reason_n of_o its_o coagulate_v property_n be_v from_o some_o occult_a acidity_n in_o the_o salt_n thereof_o which_o to_o sense_n be_v not_o perceptible_a only_o by_o effect_n out_o of_o the_o salt_n be_v draw_v a_o very_a good_a spirit_n of_o excellent_a virtue_n as_o i_o shall_v declare_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n before_o i_o conclude_v this_o chapter_n it_o will_v be_v worth_a take_v notice_n that_o about_o 240_o yard_n above_o the_o head_n of_o this_o sulphur-well_n be_v a_o bog_n of_o about_o twenty_o yard_n diameter_n in_o which_o i_o dig_v a_o mineral_n kind_n of_o substance_n like_o the_o finder_n of_o iron_n but_o almost_o rot_v be_v
