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
