     summary: Now although this his experiment of the aforesaid glass doth prettily illustrate the busines of condensation , and rarefaction in close vessels , yet it doth not demonstrate sufficiently the raising of waters from the deep subterraneall channells to the superficies of the earth , for it is apparent , as I have shewed in the former part of this chapter , that some springs swell more in summer than in winter ; Secondly if springs do rise higher in time of frost than in hot seasons , it is onely either because some subterraneall vapours , which could not evaporate by reason of the earth being constringed with cold , are condensed into water , and so make for the present some small addition to springs , or because the subterraneall waters are rarified , and swell by that heat which is occasioned through the aforesaid binding of the earth , for we see by experience that springs are hotter in frosty weather than in summer . And Fallopius saith that in the territories of Mutina is a short plat of ground , out of which comes fire and smoke , and the ground is all like dust , which if you kindle , you cannot quench again with water : so that these kind of fires are perpetual , and very long lasting in waters .

     summary: BRandy , R●mm , Rack , and other distilled Spirits , are all very per●icious and hurtful to the Health of the Body , if not sparingly taken on extraordinary occasions in a Physi●●● way ; for the Intention of all such Chymical preparations , when first Inr●●ted , was for Medicinal uses , and not to be used as Common drink , as of late years indiscre●tly they are , to the destruction of many Thousands , the frequent use of them contracting such 〈◊〉 and stubbo●n D●seases , as for the most part are incurable . Therefore all such Spirits so drawn , do loose their Balsamick body with all their Cordial Vertues and Tinctures , put what Herbs or Li●u●rs you will into such Furnaces , they are presently P●●ndeted of their Natural Colour , and run off white , whereby it appears , that this Common way of Distillation destroys the pure Natural Vertues and Tincture , for from the Tincture proceeds all the Variety of Colours , both in Vegetables , Minerals , and Annimals , so that such Spirits do only contain a harsh fier●e Fiery Nature , and for that reason , if they be frequently Drink , do ●rey upon the Natural Heat , and by degrees weaken it , destroying the very Life of Nature , by way of Simile ; for every Like works upon its likeness , whence it comes to pass , that in those who addict themselves to the Drinking of these high Fiery or Brimstony Spirits , their Natural heat grows cold and Feeble , and their Appetites are weakened , they destroying the Power of the Digestive Faculty of the Stomach , so that many such People after Eating are forced to Drink a Dram to help concoction ; all other Drinks proving too cold for them , which constrains them to continue ●ooping of such Liquor ; a sad Remedy , when we go about to help a mischief by encreasing the application of the same ill means which first occasioned it● for these wrathful Spirits have awakened the Central Heat , which is the Root of Nature , that ought not to have been awakened or kindled , for if the Central Heat be stired up by any unnatural Meats or Drinks , or other violence done to Nature , then presently follows the Consumption of the Radical Moisture , and the pure Spirits and Lively Tinctures become Suffocated , wherein consists the Essential Life of Nature .

     summary: But my Business is not Satyre , yet I thought necessary to premise thus much to Rouz People , if possible , out of their Stupidity , that they may hearken to the Voice of Wisdom , and not devinate from the paths of Sobriety and Moderation , which is the first Precept towards the attaining Health both of Body and Mind . 8. Hence it appears that Water is the great Menstrum of the World , the opener of all bodies , and the aawakener of Qualities , making all things penetrable , whence Motion & vegetation doth arise ; so that when Water and Air are incorporated , the latter is rarified , and it becomes more penetrating , moystening , digesting and cooling ; for when the sweet dews of Heaven are withheld , all things are lockt up in the hot , harsh , astringent Chamber , which threatens all things with death , the Air becoming Sultry and Sulpherous , which consumes the radical moisture in all Creatures , and so renders them not only more unfit for Labour or Exercise , but also more subject to Diseases , then in moyst Seasons , making them droughty hot and feavorish by stopping up the pores , which frets all the inwards parts both of Men and Beasts , and parches up the Earth , but where Water and Air do kindly embrace or inbibe each other , that place or Climate gains a brisk , spiritous refreshing property , that it sucks in on all parts of the Body ; for the pure natural and Animal Spirits in man are not altogether a terrene thing , or Body nourrished only by gross Alement received through the Organs , by the Concoction of Meats and Drinks only , but draw in a more refined nourishment , like spunges at every pore of the Body , from the thin vapours that encompass , and penetrate it on all sides ; for the Air being plentifully ; endued with a salnitral vertue , does furnish and refresh Nature with a curious , brisk Airy Spirit ; and for that reason Rain Water being Impregnated with a greater quantity of that Good vertue , does naturally advance Vegetations beyond all other sorts enriching the Earth , and making it hollow or Plumplike , a ferment or leven , whereas other Waters ; bind and close-up the Pores thereof , but still the moyst Air of Woods are not commendable as to health , because such places do naturally attract Humidity and retain it ; so as it became thick , hot and sulpherous , because the Sun , Wind &c. has not free passage to refine it ; but all Airs by , or near Springs or running-Water are more commendable in the Summer then in the Winter , and wonderfully refreshes the natural Spirits ; and therefore Imployments or Exercises near unto , or on the Waters are both pleasant and healthful , so that its a very vain Apprehension in many People so much to fear the dwelling near Rivers , tho possibly the same may not agree with all Constitutions .

     summary: IT is as much the Duty of a Physitian to endeavour the Preserving of Health , as the restoring it : and so much the more carefull he ought to be , by how much the more neglectfull People are of themselves : This is indeed a charge that we are not so much obliged to by Gain , as by Conscience ; For there are few or none that come to the Physitian to keep themselves wel , but only when they are forc't thither by the importunity of Sickness : It becomes us therefore who have the Charge of Bodies , to send our Councell abroad , and though that may be a means to lessen our Practice , yet will it much quiet our Minds in the discharge of a necessary part of our duty ; It is much easier to prevent Diseases , then expell them , It may be done with small care , and less expence ; our Diseases cost us dear , not only in the Cure , but in the purchase , being for the most part the off-springs of Intemperance , Incontinency , Disorder , and other very costly Vices . Yea , those diseases which are Epidemicall , as Pestilentiall Feavers , Catarrhes , small Pox , the present Flux , &c. do much easier seize upon such as by contracting an evill Habit of Body , have rendred themselves more obnoxious , and disposed thereunto , in whom likewise they are more difficultly curable : but to proceed .
