shall_v now_o only_o mention_v two_o thing_n that_o on_o this_o occasion_n come_v into_o my_o mind_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o inquire_v of_o a_o famous_a chemist_n who_o live_v in_o a_o country_n abound_v with_o mine_n of_o vitriol_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o observe_v that_o the_o oak_n grow_v over_o they_o be_v more_o solid_a or_o heavy_a than_o those_o tree_n be_v elsewhere_o wont_a to_o be_v he_o answer_v i_o that_o he_o do_v and_o that_o the_o difference_n be_v remarkable_a the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o part_n of_o some_o mineral_n probable_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o smallness_n and_o solidity_n of_o the_o corpuscle_n they_o consist_v of_o be_v capable_a of_o insinuate_a themselves_o very_o plentiful_o into_o the_o pore_n of_o grow_a vegetable_n without_o be_v real_o subdue_v by_o what_o philosopher_n be_v please_v to_o call_v the_o concoct_n faculty_n of_o the_o plant_n and_o instead_o of_o be_v assimilate_v by_o the_o vegetable_a they_o retain_v their_o own_o mineral_n nature_n and_o upon_o the_o recess_n or_o evaporation_n of_o the_o juice_n that_o serve_v they_o for_o a_o vehicle_n may_v sometime_o discover_v their_o be_v mineral_n even_o to_o a_o unassi_v eye_n for_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v see_v a_o piece_n of_o a_o vine_n that_o grow_v not_o far_o from_o paris_n which_o be_v break_v i_o perceive_v a_o multitude_n of_o the_o internal_a pore_n of_o the_o root_n and_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o part_n of_o the_o trunk_n also_o to_o be_v stuff_v with_o corpuscle_n of_o a_o marchasitical_a nature_n as_o manifest_o appear_v by_o their_o colour_n and_o their_o shine_a lustre_n and_o also_o by_o their_o weight_n there_o go_v a_o tradition_n among_o learned_a man_n that_o the_o leaf_n of_o vine_n that_o grow_v in_o some_o place_n of_o hungary_n who_o mine_n afford_v gold_n be_v as_o it_o be_v gild_v on_o the_o low_a side_n by_o ascend_a exhalation_n of_o a_o golden_a nature_n whether_o this_o be_v true_a or_o no_o i_o shall_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o determine_v but_o i_o remember_v that_o have_v make_v enquiry_n about_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o of_o a_o very_a ingenious_a traveller_n who_o curiosity_n lead_v he_o to_o visit_v heedful_o those_o famous_a mine_n he_o tell_v i_o that_o he_o do_v not_o remember_v he_o have_v observe_v what_o be_v report_v about_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o vine_n but_o he_o know_v very_o well_o that_o at_o tockay_n a_o place_n that_o afford_v the_o famous_a wine_n of_o hungary_n and_o indeed_o the_o best_a i_o have_v drink_v very_o many_o of_o the_o kernel_n of_o the_o grape_n will_v appear_v gild_v over_o as_o it_o be_v with_o leaf_n gold_n to_o what_o have_v be_v already_o discourse_v may_v be_v add_v that_o since_o man_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o feed_v upon_o either_o beast_n

water_n the_o noxious_a exhalation_n that_o make_v vegetable_n and_o water_n unwholesome_a may_v by_o their_o mean_n have_v a_o very_a bad_a influence_n upon_o sheep_n cow_n deer_n pigeon_n and_o other_o animal_n that_o seed_n upon_o such_o deprave_a vegetable_n and_o drink_v such_o noxious_a water_n and_o consequent_o may_v be_v very_o hurtful_a to_o those_o man_n that_o feed_v upon_o such_o

will_v not_o seem_v improper_a to_o add_v on_o this_o occasion_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o in_o certain_a place_n the_o latent_fw-la mineral_n may_v be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o that_o their_o effluvia_fw-la may_v instead_o of_o promote_a hinder_v the_o production_n of_o some_o particular_a disease_n whether_o epidemical_a or_o endemical_a in_o the_o body_n of_o they_o that_o inhabit_v those_o place_n for_o as_o physician_n observe_v that_o the_o more_o manifest_a morbific_a cause_n of_o some_o sickness_n be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o those_o of_o other_o so_o i_o think_v it_o not_o improbable_a that_o there_o may_v also_o be_v a_o mutual_a contrariety_n between_o those_o latent_fw-la morbific_a cause_n that_o be_v send_v up_o by_o subterraneal_a agent_n and_o therefore_o it_o need_v to_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o some_o of_o these_o shall_v either_o disable_v those_o to_o which_o they_o be_v hostile_a or_o shall_v at_o least_o work_n in_o humane_a body_n a_o great_a indisposition_n to_o admit_v their_o hurtful_a operation_n which_o methinks_v those_o physician_n and_o chemist_n shall_v easy_o grant_v who_o with_o a_o boldness_n that_o i_o do_v not_o
