cd Mafs, you fhallhave muchrlefs Oyl: from whence 
we may learn, that Oyls are the moft fubtile parts of 
bodies; and may alfo conclude, that nothing is to be 
faand without fait J or that bodies are fet together, and 
compounded with fait. He leems to deny, that Salif^ 
Acidci ("fuch as his Antagonift calls Succm Citri,Berberum^ 
Jpirittis Nitri,) are cooling, or do fowell perform any 
Cures, as Salia i;r/W/i.He examines the Succus citri, and 
Berbers, by diftillation, the latter of which, he fays, af- 
fords only a quantity of water, fome oyl, and lome

of Wine Per Balneum Maries is feparated from the Wine, 
that which remains in the Veffel, becomes fower, and 
will not burn, tho* perhaps lomewhat of a fubjugated 
oyl, maybe mix'dwithit: but in caleyoufeparate any

to be no oyl ; becauie oyl will not intoxicate a man; 
and becauie Acids, tho of differing families, do^ all unite 
and mi^, and fo do oyls too , but if you mix that oyi 
drawn from Wine, with the fpirit of Wine, it will not by 
ftiaking unite together, unlefs you firft fatiate the^pirit 
with its fait, and by that means you may caufe a union of"

Doctors a^lTertion, that Acids do- not burn; he inftanc^
