Dr. Fbijrht takes up the Author of the Epiftle, for urg* 
iflg an experiment, which he calIs,.againfl:reafon and ex- 
perience namely that a pound of rotten Wood, contains 
moT^Acidtm or Alkali, then five pound of green Wood ; 
he pronounces the quite contrary for truth, proceeding 
from one degree of Putrefaction, to what he calls a Cen- 
tral Gorruption, or rottennefs of W^ood, where he found, 
that Wood no ways tainted, afforded the moft fait, and 
that in every degree of greater putrefaction, or the more 
the Wood inclined to rottennefs^ the lefs fait it afforded, 
tantill he came to that, which was quite rotten,this afford- 
ed none at all.

heis certain of the contrary, and could make it good.
