wherever, in that Spot, you remove the ftones and faad^ 
you fhall perceive the water, preiently arife and fpring

ail the Springs, iffues out of the middle of a ^ci^ I iup- 
pofed that the brinynels of its waters might becaufed by 
the ^e^ii: of the Sun, continually beating upon them, as 
they lay upon the thefurfaceof which was mani- 
feltly faltifli; and which, in a hot^ day fas I was, told) 
would beail covered over with a perfect iY^/^. But I was 
undeceiv'd in this conjedure, by having all the water
