     summary: But Baths naturally hot ( as these our Baths are ) to bodies naturally hot and drie , are generally hurtfull ; and so much the more , as the body is drier , and the Bath hotter , because it distempereth and consumeth the very habit of the body , and maketh it carrion-like leane . But to draw to an end , when you shal for your health repaire to the Baths , be cautelous , and suffer not your selfe to be taken vp by such as will presse vpon you ; but rest your selfe at your Inne , and be well aduised by a Physician that knowes the nature and vse of the Baths , and can well iudge of your infirmities and state of body , what Bath shall be fitting for your vse , and then vp your lodging accordingly : which course if it were obserued , and the Physician carefully and learnedly performe his part , I am perswaded that many mo then now doe , would , for their infirmities , finde remedie at the Baths , to the great honour of the place , and that scarcely any would depart thence , but much eased and bettered in their state of body .

     summary: In the Body whereof one thing is most remarkable , that although it be of a vast Dimension taking its height , bredth , and length , and lying uncovered for above 100 years , the Windows so large , the Walls so thin , ( that I presume many Mansion-houses equal it ) yet this Noble Pile , notwithstanding it hath no sloaping Buttresses , on the outside to support and strengthen it , which the great Churches usually have , shews no Flaw , Crack , not settling , but stands firm and entire , evidencing thereby , not only the profound Skill of the Architect , but the goodness of the Stone , whose quality is , when taken up green out of the Quarry , of such a softness , that a Pen-knife ( comparatively ) may work it , without turning its edge , but when exposed to any building in the open Air , nothing more lasting , nothing more permanent , for neither Age nor time can deface it , witness the whole Pile , which notwithstanding it hath stood near two Centuries , yet to this day , remains as firm and beautiful as at first , near the midst whereof , under an Arch to the Northward , lyes interred the Noble and Charitable Benefactor Bishop Montague , on whom his Executors ( his Brothers ) men of great Honor and Places , rear'd a stately Monument , answerable to the Dignity of that Honourable and Religious Prelate , over against this Noble Monument , the City in Testimony of the respects they owed to the then Rector Mr. John Pelling erected another to him , this Reverend Divine , notwithstanding he had a numerous Issue ; yet was so indefatigably zealous in forwarding the reparation of this Fabrick , that when at any time ( and that was not seldom in that generous and benefactory Age ) any Persons of Honour offer'd to him , as to his private , refused it with his , Non mihi sed Ecclesiae , which occasion'd that Motto over his Tomb , which self-denyal ( its possible ) the good God hath ( secondarily paid into his own bosom , by a blessing on his Posterity , who ( some of them especially ) notwithstanding the few mites they had to begin the World , have now the value of Talents in their Possession ; but this I take notice of , only for the Readers satisfaction , not for other Ministers Imitation . THe City of Bath is seated in the North North-East part of Somersetshire , environ'd ( almost ) all ) round with pleasant and fruitful Hills full of excellent Springs of Waters , in so much as 't is observed that on many of their Sumits , there are rare Christal Waters , gushing out especially in one Village adjoyning to the Southwards of it , there are near Fifty ( if not more ) Habitations , where scarce one House makes use of that Water that served another , each one enjoying a particular to its self .

     summary: And because I am now fallen on this Subject I shall crave leave to remind you of what you well enough understand already , that not only Dulcius but Vtilius ex ipso Fonte , &c. and Waters especially impregnated with volatile Spirits , such as most acid are , and peculiarly Vitrioline , to avoid the inconvenience and expence , not so much of Money as Virtue , in the Carriage , must be drunk on the place where they are , which in some kind resembling Children , that must live by sucking , if once removed from their Mother , or Nurse , by degrees dwindle away , and at last die . In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
