200 PHYSIOLOGICAL REMAINS. 



waters may hinder the incorporation, as well as the 

 dissents of the metals themselves ; therefore where 

 the &quot;menstrua&quot; are the same, and yet the incorpo 

 ration followeth not, you may conclude the dissent 

 is in the metals ; but where the &quot; menstrua&quot; are 

 several, not so certain. 



Dr. MevereVs answers to the foregoing questions, con 

 cerning the compounding, incorporating, or union of 

 metals and minerals. 



GOLD will incorporate with silver in any pro 

 portion. &quot; Plin. lib. xxxiii. cap. 4. Omni auro 

 inest argentum vario pondere ; alibi dena, alibi nona, 

 alibi octava parte Ubicunque quinta argenti portio 

 invenitur, electrum vocatur.&quot; The body remains fixt, 

 solid, and coloured, according to the proportion of 

 the two metals. 



Gold with quicksilver easily mixeth, but the pro 

 duct is imperfectly fixed ; and so are all other metals 

 incorporate with mercury. 



Gold incorporates with lead in any proportion. 



Gold incorporates with copper in any proportion, 

 the common allay. 



Gold incorporates with brass in any proportion. 

 And what is said of copper is true of brass, in the 

 union of other metals. 



Gold will not incorporate with iron. 



Gold incorporates with tin, the ancient allay, 

 Isa. I. 25. 



What was said of gold and quicksilver, may be 

 said of quicksilver and the rest of metals.
