to_o the_o air_n it_o will_v after_o a_o time_n for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v how_o long_o be_v so_o wrought_v on_o by_o the_o contact_n of_o the_o air_n that_o the_o superficial_a part_n of_o the_o blood_n will_v appear_v as_o florid_n as_o the_o late_o mention_v upper_a part_n suppose_v to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o flower_n of_o the_o blood_n do_v seem_v before_o and_o this_o observation_n i_o find_v to_o hold_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o some_o beast_n whereon_o i_o try_v it_o in_o which_o i_o find_v it_o to_o succeed_v in_o much_o few_o minute_n than_o the_o virtuoso_n experiment_n on_o human_a blood_n will_v make_v i_o expect_v on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o have_v often_o prepare_v a_o substance_n who_o effect_n appear_v quite_o contrary_a to_o this_o for_o though_o this_o factitious_a concrete_a whilst_o keep_v to_o the_o fire_n or_o very_o careful_o preserve_v from_o the_o air_n be_v of_o a_o red_a colour_n almost_o like_o the_o common_a opacous_a bloodstone_n of_o the_o shop_n yet_o if_o i_o break_v it_o and_o leave_v the_o lump_n or_o fragment_n of_o it_o a_o little_a while_n in_o the_o air_n it_o will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n sometime_o perhaps_o not_o amount_v to_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n it_o will_v i_o say_v have_v its_o superficial_a part_n turn_v of_o a_o very_a dark_a colour_n very_o little_a and_o sometime_o scarce_o at_o all_o short_a of_o blackness_n a_o very_a inquisitive_a person_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n have_v occasion_n to_o make_v by_o distillation_n a_o medicine_n of_o his_o own_o devise_v chance_v to_o observe_v this_o odd_a property_n in_o it_o that_o at_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n if_o it_o be_v keep_v stop_v it_o will_v be_v coagulate_v almost_o like_o oil_n of_o anniseed_n in_o cold_a weather_n yet_o if_o the_o stopple_n be_v take_v out_o and_o so_o access_n be_v for_o a_o while_n give_v to_o the_o air_n it_o will_v turn_v to_o a_o liquor_n and_o the_o vessel_n be_v again_o stop_v it_o will_v though_o more_o slow_o recoagulate_v the_o hint_n that_o i_o guess_v may_v be_v give_v by_o such_o a_o phaenomenon_n make_v i_o desirous_a to_o know_v something_o of_o it_o more_o than_o bare_o by_o relation_n i_o express_v rather_o a_o curiosity_n than_o a_o diffidence_n about_o it_o and_o the_o maker_n of_o it_o tell_v i_o he_o think_v he_o have_v in_o a_o small_a vial_n about_o a_o spoonful_n of_o this_o medicine_n leave_v in_o a_o neighbour_a chamber_n i_o desire_v his_o leave_n to_o consider_v it_o myself_o which_o request_v be_v present_o comply_v with_o i_o find_v it_o when_o he_o bring_v it_o into_o the_o room_n which_o i_o stay_v in_o not_o liquid_a but_o consistent_a though_o of_o but_o a_o slight_a and_o soft_a contexture_n and_o have_v take_v out_o the_o cork_n and_o set_v the_o vial_n in_o a_o window_n which_o if_o i_o well_o remember_v be_v open_a though_o the_o season_n which_o be_v winter_n be_v cold_a yet_o in_o a_o little_a time_n that_o i_o stay_v talk_v with_o the_o chemist_n i_o find_v that_o the_o so_o late_o coagulate_v substance_n be_v almost_o all_o become_v fluid_fw-la and_o another_o time_n when_o the_o season_n be_v less_o cold_a have_v occasion_n to_o be_v where_o the_o vial_n be_v keep_v well_o stop_v and_o cast_v my_o eye_n on_o it_o i_o perceive_v the_o include_v substance_n to_o be_v coagulate_v much_o like_a oil_n of_o anniseed_n and_o this_o substance_n have_v as_o the_o maker_n assure_v i_o nothing_o at_o all_o of_o mineral_n in_o it_o nor_o any_o chemical_a salt_n it_o consist_v only_o of_o two_o simple_a body_n the_o one_o of_o a_o vegetable_a and_o the_o other_o of_o a_o animal_n substance_n distil_v together_o i_o scarce_o doubt_v but_o you_o will_v think_v with_o i_o that_o these_o contrary_a operation_n of_o the_o air_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o power_n in_o some_o circumstance_n to_o coagulate_v such_o a_o body_n and_o yet_o to_o dissolve_v and_o make_v it_o fluid_v when_o fresh_a and_o fresh_a part_n be_v allow_v access_n to_o it_o may_v deserve_v to_o be_v further_o reflect_v on_o in_o reference_n among_o other_o thing_n to_o the_o opportune_a operation_n the_o inspire_a air_n may_v have_v on_o the_o consistence_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o circulate_v blood_n and_o to_o the_o discharge_n of_o the_o fuliginous_a recrement_n to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o blood_n in_o its_o passage_n through_o the_o lung_n there_o be_v two_o other_o phaenomena_n that_o seem_v favourable_a to_o our_o suspicion_n that_o there_o be_v anonymous_n substance_n and_o quality_n in_o the_o air_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v altogether_o praetermit_v on_o this_o occasion_n though_o because_o to_o speak_v full_o of_o they_o will_v require_v far_o more_o time_n than_o i_o can_v now_o spare_v i_o shall_v speak_v of_o they_o but_o succinct_o the_o latter_a of_o these_o two_o phaenomena_n be_v the_o growth_n or_o appear_a production_n of_o metal_n or_o mineral_n dig_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o expose_v to_o the_o air._n and_o this_o though_o it_o be_v the_o last_o of_o the_o two_o i_o mention_v first_o because_o it_o seem_v expedient_a lest_o it_o shall_v prove_v too_o long_o a_o interruption_n to_o our_o discourse_n to_o postpone_v the_o observation_n and_o annex_v they_o to_o the_o end_n of_o this_o paper_n only_o intimate_v to_o you_o now_o that_o the_o caution_n i_o former_o interpose_v about_o the_o regeneration_n of_o salt_n in_o nitrous_a and_o other_o earth_n may_v for_o great_a security_n be_v apply_v mutatis_fw-la mutandis_fw-la to_o that_o production_n of_o metalline_a and_o mineral_n body_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o other_o of_o the_o two_o phaenomena_n i_o late_o promise_v to_o mention_v be_v afford_v i_o by_o those_o various_a and_o odd_a disease_n that_o at_o some_o time_n and_o in_o some_o place_n happen_v to_o invade_v and_o destroy_v number_n of_o beast_n sometime_o of_o one_o particular_a kind_n and_o sometime_o of_o another_o of_o this_o we_o have_v many_o instance_n in_o the_o book_n of_o approve_a author_n both_o physician_n and_o other_o and_o i_o have_v myself_o observe_v some_o notable_a example_n of_o it_o but_o yet_o i_o shall_v not_o mention_v it_o as_o a_o ground_n of_o suspicion_n that_o there_o may_v be_v in_o some_o time_n and_o place_n unknown_a effluvia_fw-la and_o power_n in_o the_o air_n but_o that_o i_o distinguish_v these_o from_o those_o disease_n of_o animal_n that_o proceed_v as_o the_o rot_n in_o sheep_n often_o do_v from_o the_o exorbitancy_n of_o the_o season_n the_o immoderateness_n of_o cold_a heat_n or_o any_o other_o manifest_a quality_n in_o the_o air._n and_o you_o will_v easy_o perceive_v that_o some_o of_o these_o example_n probable_o argue_v that_o the_o subterraneal_a part_n do_v sometime_o especial_o after_o earthquake_n or_o unusual_a cleaving_n of_o the_o ground_n send_v up_o into_o the_o air_n peculiar_a kind_n of_o venomous_a exhalation_n that_o produce_v new_a and_o mortal_a disease_n in_o animal_n of_o such_o a_o species_n and_o not_o in_o those_o of_o another_o and_o in_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a place_n and_o not_o elsewhere_o of_o which_o we_o have_v a_o eminent_a instance_n in_o that_o odd_a plague_n or_o murrain_n of_o the_o year_n 1514_o which_o fernelius_n tell_v we_o invade_v none_o but_o cat_n and_o even_o in_o animal_n of_o the_o same_o species_n sometime_o one_o sort_n have_v be_v incomparable_o more_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o plague_n than_o another_o as_o dionysius_n halicarnaséus_fw-la mention_n a_o plague_n that_o attack_v none_o but_o maid_n whereas_o the_o pestilence_n that_o rage_v in_o the_o time_n of_o gentilis_fw-la a_o fame_a physician_n kill_v few_o woman_n and_o scarce_o any_o but_o lusty_a men._n and_o so_o boterus_n mention_n a_o great_a plague_n that_o assault_v almost_o only_o the_o young_a sort_n of_o person_n few_o past_a thirty_o year_n of_o age_n be_v attack_v by_o it_o which_o last_o observation_n have_v be_v also_o make_v by_o several_a late_a physician_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v what_o learned_a man_n of_o that_o faculty_n have_v note_v at_o several_a time_n concern_v plague_n that_o particular_o invade_v those_o of_o this_o or_o that_o nation_n though_o confuse_o mingle_v with_o other_o people_n as_o cardan_n speak_v of_o a_o plague_n at_o basil_n with_o which_o only_o the_o swisser_n and_o not_o the_o italian_n french_a or_o german_n be_v infect_v and_o johannes_n utenhovious_a take_v notice_n of_o a_o cruel_a plague_n at_o copenhagen_n which_o though_o it_o rage_v among_o the_o dane_n spare_v both_o the_o english_a dutch_a and_o german_n though_o they_o free_o enter_v infect_v house_n and_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o shun_v the_o sick_a in_o recite_v of_o which_o instance_n i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o i_o impute_v these_o effect_n mere_o to_o noxious_a subterraneal_a fume_n for_o i_o be_o
