title:
  A briefe discourse of the hypostasis, or substance of the water of Spaw; containing in small quantity many pots of that minerall water Verie profitable for such patients, as cannot repaire in person to those fountaines, as by perusing this discourse, it will plainly appeare. Translated out of French into English, by G.T. This abouesaide hypostasis, or substance of the water of Spaw, is to be sold by Doctor Hieronimus Seminus, Italian, dwelling in S. Paules Alley, in Red-crosse-street.

summary:
  But this way is found by experience , no lesse troublesome , then chargeable in the carriage ; considering , that a huge quantity of water , containeth but a very little of the Minerall substance , wherein the vertue of the water consisteth ; and the saide substance being so thinly diuided into a great quantity of water , looseth much of the force and vertue , before it can bee brought into so farre distant places ; the which hath beene the cause , why the persons before insinuated , haue employed their studye and Trauaile , to reduce the pure Hypostasis or substance of the saide Minerals , into so little a quantitie , as that one pot may supply for farre more then an hundred pots ; and withall , that no part of the force or vertue of the saide Minerals should bee impaired . Take a dram weight of this Liquor , which is the eight part of an Ounce ; and contayneth as much in quantity , as will fill a great Thimble ; poure this into a glasse or stone Bottle , & poure thereunto fifty Ounces of the best and clearest water that is to be had ; whether it be Fountaine water , Riuer water , or Well water : This water is to be put vnto the dram weight of the other liquor , at the time that the Patient is ready to drinke it , and not before ; not that any inconuenience may ensue thereof , but because the fresher the water is , the more grateful it is vnto the taste , and the Minerall substance in length of time , will descend vnto the bottom of the glasse : and albeit it may bee newly stirred and mingled with the water , and so taken ; yet will it notwithstanding , be more to the liking of the Patient , as before is noted , to haue his water brought fresh from the Spring , &c.

  Callirhoe, the nymph of Aberdene, resuscitat by William Barclay M. of Art, and Doctor of Physicke. What diseases may be cured by drinking of the well at Aberdene, and what is the true vse thereof

summary:
  I lay then as a ground , that of all liquours , there is none more apt then water to receiue the qualities and vertues of any simple : for which cause the Physicians most ordinarily make their infusions and decoctions in water : the reason of this is , because water of it selfe is voyde of taste , and so much the more fit to receiue both the taste ▪ and all other second qualities from all simples : yea , not onely second qualities , which are manifest and knowne by the senses , but also hidden and occult qualities , of which , some doe alter the taste : as the infusion of Rheubarbe : some doe not alter the taste , as the infusion of Antimonium , or the decoction of golde . Notwithstanding that water be a fitte subject to receiue the impression of diuerse tastes , yet doth it not receiue so commodiously the diuersitie of odours : and in that respect the perfumers doe not infuse their sweete odoriferous drogges in water , but in oyle , which we call oleum Balaninum , which oyle is as voyde it selfe of all odours , as water is of sapours : this is the reason also why the daintie , delicate & sawcie victuallers or cookes in their restoring and Venerian pasties put the roote called Petatos , which of it selfe is tastelesse and vnsauourie to receiue the temper and pickle of all the other spices & nourishing aliments .

  Thermæ redivivæ, the city of Bath described with some observations on those soveraign waters, both as to the bathing in, and drinking of them, now so much in use / by Henry Chapman ...

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 .

  The baths of Bathe: or, A necessary compendious treatise concerning the nature, vse and efficacie of those famous hot vvaters published for the benefit of all such, as yeerely for their health, resort to those baths: with an aduertisement of the great vtilitie that commeth to mans body, by the taking of physick in the spring, inferred vpon a question mooued, concerning the frequencie of sicknesse, and death of people more in that season, then in any other. Whereunto is also annexed a censure, concerning the water of Saint Vincents rocks neere Bristoll, which begins to grow in great request and vse against the stone. By To. Venner, Doctor in Physick in Bathe.

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 .

Mugnus-well, near Knare borow in York-shire : together with the causes, vertues and use thereof : for farther information read the contents / composed by J. French, Dr. of Physick.

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:
  eng Mineral waters -- England. Both the Chalybeat and Purging Waters have some Virtues in common to restore the Appetite , remove nauseousness of the Stomach , Pains of that and the Head , to cool , to allay Flatulencies , and the Cramps and disorderly Motions in the Body , and flatness of the Spirits that attends them : And this the Nature of the Principles well accounts , which are thus far the same ; for as Water , the common Vehicle in both , demands Consideration , as being most unfermentative , and so a great assistant in suppressing Flatulencies from ill Concoction , and other Failings of the parts occasion'd by fermented Liquors ; so the main Principle of the Purging Waters , I have detected to be a Chalybeat Juyce .
