Several Burning Mountains have now been filled up; 
and quenched ; others have begun to open themfelves, 
and to call out Fire, as in the Ifle Ckiaus, 
There is likewife a Burning Mountain upon the Ifland 
Celehes, And in an infinite number of places, there is 
hot Water found, if you dig but Ten Foot deep. 
In the Mountains of Ternata is always heard a ter- 
rible noife, as of the crying of a great many People, 
caufed by the Fire : It often cafteth out ftones, and is 
probably exceeding deep, and the rather becaufe it is 
likely that the feveral Burning Mountains of the Molucca 
Iflands are beneath confumed by the fame Fire, which 
joyneth the fpacious openings together. 
The Burning Mountain upon Banda cafteth forth a 
prodigious quantity of Smoak and Affiles, oiten-times 
much Fire; and makes a noife as if a great many of 
the greateft Canon were heard alj at once. This 
Mountain hath caft out fo many Stones (and fome near 
fix Foot long) that the adjacent Sea, which has been 
forty or fifty Fathoms deep, is not only filled up there, 
but become many Fathoms higher than the Water; 
whereby it may be conjedlured how ^rge the inward^ 
Cavities of this Mountain are.
