with cold Springs and in fome places the hot and cold arile ve- 
ry near each other 5 in one place 5 within two yards ^ and in 0- 
thers, within 8. or 9, of the main Bathes. 
6, The Guides of the Crefs-Bath informe me? that, when 
there is a great Weft-wind abroad , ftanding by theSprings they 
feel a cold air arifing from beneath: if the Wind be at Eaft , 
and the morning clofe with a little mifling rain , the Crojj- Bath 
is fohot asfcarce tobecndur'd, when the Kings-mi Hot- Baths

fcarce fufferable , fo that they are fain to turn much of it away , 
for fear of inflaming the Bath. The hotteft Spring will not 
harden an Egge.
