To the^r/?,! diftilled Scarhorougb Spaw-waterin S Glafs.ftill,lutingt!ie 
Receiver fo clofe,that no fpirit (eve*3 of wine)could efcape nie,and it yield- 
ed nothing but an infipid Warer,as ordinary Sprirg-waterufes to do i And 
I think, 1 may confidently affirm,that none of thofe Mineral Springs will ai- 
ford any other. 
. ^ To the Second, The water of Scarhrough,9Viii all fuch as are impregna- 
ted with a body of Minerals, whether they be let ftand,or conveyed at di- 
ftance, do let fall a yellowifti fediment in time. But fo it is n5t in Knaref" 
hroughhittt-yfJtW, nor fuch others as have no Mineia!s,but have onely im- 
bibed the Vapors or Odors of fome Mineral. 
Tothet^/ri-, When fuch waters are moved by carriage, theydofoo' 
ner precipitate that yellow fediment to the bottom, and efpeciaily if con- 
veyed in oaken veffels. 
Jo ihQ fourth'^ This yellowifli fediment is plainly difcernable both in 
their Spring-heads and ftrearas; nay ,everiX»^m^r^'^^^ water doth a little 
colour the Ufternintraft of lime, notwithftanding ic hath very little 
of the fubftance. 
To ih^ fifth: rhofe bottles that are ftop'd ciofe, whether they be mo- 
ved or not, will longer keep their brisk relifh, than fuch as are left open, 
and alfo longer retain their medical vertdes, togetherwith their colour 
and fediment. 
loiht fixth'^ I find not any difference in the Vcffels, wherein Scar- 
irofigh-vjSitevispnt^viz» a Glafs-bottle or an Ox-bladder, favc this, that 
that which was in the Bladder would not receive fo black a tindure from 
the Gall, as the other, but rather a Claret. 
To the fevef}th ; I could never yet devife, nor any other I have met 
with, to prevent the lofs of the aperient vertue of Scartroftgh-vjMr, not 
to hinder the precipitation of the yellow fediment, if removed at diftance. 
To the eighth', Notwithftanding that Searhough-viMr lets fall the 
OchrCy yet it remains Purgative, from the reft of the Mineral Salts and Spi- 
rits, whichyet it retains even till,and when it ftinks: And perhaps being 
ktid it may purge the more, as fomc have told me, who have drunk it, 
whenthey have been forced to ftop their nofes, though it.hath been with 
very much prejudice to their health, as I have made out in my former 
Book, to wit Scarhrough-Sfatv, (Edit. 2. p 220,221.) But as iov Knares- 
hmgh Sweet-well, that will be found enervated, though no Ochre appear 
in the bottom. 
To iht ninth '. That of Knareshrough, and fuch like, are better expli- 
cated, to have loft their vertues by an Avolation of Spirituous parts, fince 
they have nothing elfe wherein the vertue can confift : whereas it will not 
ferve forSf^r^ro#i*^^,from which thefe fpirits cannot in reafon be excluded; 
nay they are found more eminently in the Minerals, And therefore wc 
muft alk)w to it, and to fuch like^ an inteftine Alteration, or Precipitation
