ago^to fend fome of it to the Lord Bremoh ] who was pleafed to 
fliew it to the Refiners, butthey could not find it to be of any 
value, I Wwisinquificiveto fearch it out, whether this water had 
the beautifying property from the Silver-like Lamina , or ra- 
ther gave thofe veins of Earth that tinfture and fermenr. Only 
two things lean affirm 5 1. 1 faw many Springs opened in the 
lower Grounds 5 vind which feemcd in all appearance to run from 
the fame Head^ and hadalfo the very fame bright ferment in 
their paflageSjWhere they were opened 5 but thefe had nothing 
of the fame property for Healing,or for Beautifying, as I found 
by many tryals, more than daily for fome years together. 2, 
The common Fields adjoyning^had on their clods and Fallowes, 
fomewhat of the fame glittering , much faded, but enough to 
dazle their Eyes that fixed on it in a bright Sunfhining. May 
not fome Subterranean fteam give the tin(5lure3bothto that vein 
of Earthy through whith it palled more freely and alfo more 
forcibly to that Spring by a greater refort,or by fome advantage 
it got by the afcentof the Ground *f (And we commonly find 
thefe healing Springs 5 either near the top, or on the fide, or 
near the foot of fome Hill , or runhing ftom the Hill : ) And thus 
the fleams reverberated and daflied down by theMotionof the 
Air^andby the weight of the Atmofphere^may beget the fame 
Metalline tin(9ui'e in the adjacent Fields. T his was far enough 
from yielding fedimenr^and it had a pleafing fmoothnefs^ and was 
very inoffenfivc to the ftomach 5 but it fearched the Eyes fome* 
what fmartly^and cleared them fpeedily,and was generally com- 
mended for many healingS3bothinwardly5and outwardly And 
was every way much more pleafing than tormenting. The Vil- 
lagerS;jto whom the Spring belongs, being conftantly healthful, 
and having other affairs than to beautify their skin 5 they take 
the lefs notice of it ^ but if it were in Hide-Park^or More-fieids, 
it might be valued above the richeft Canary.
