M E tails giue Orient and Fine Colours in D isolations' As Gold giuech 
an excellent Yellow • Quicke-Siluer an excellent Green- Tin gi- 
ueth an excellent Azure: Likewife in their Putrefactions, or Rufls ; As 
Termilion, Ter degr cafe,Bife, Cirrus,See. And likewife in their Titrificati- 
| ons. The Caufe is, tor that by their Strength of Body, they are able to 
i endure the Fire, or Strong Waters, and to be. put into an Equal! 
Poflure, and againe to retaine Part of their principall Spirit * Which 
twoThings^Equall Pofture,and QuickC Spirits)arerequired chiefly, 
to make Co^rilightfome. 
I T condnceth vnto Long Life,and to the more Placide motion of the 
Spirits, which thereby doe leflfe prey and confume the Iuyce of the 
Body 5 Either that Mens Adi ons be free and voluntary jThat nothingbe 
done I/iuita Minerva, but Secundum Genium.’Ox on the other fide, that 
the ABions of Men be full of Regulation,and Commands mthin themfeluesi 
For then the Vi dory and Performing of the Gommand 5 giueth a good 
Difpofmon to the Spirits^Efpecially if there be a Proceeding from De¬ 
gree to Degree • For then the Senfe of Vidory is the greater. An ex¬ 
ample of the former of thefe. is in a Country life ; And of the Iatter,in 
Monkes and Pbilofophers, andfuch as doe continually enioyne them- 
felues. 
I T is certaine, that in all Bodies, there is an Appetite of Tnion, and E- 
uitation of Solution of Continuity • And of this Appetite there be 
many Degrees •, But the moft Remarkable, and fit to be diftinguifhed^ 
are three.The firft in 5 Thefecoad in .* And the 
rhird in Bodies Cleauingox Tenacious. In Liquors, this Appetite is #eake: 
Wee fee in Liquors, the Thredding of them in Stillici des,(as hath beene 
Paid j) The Falling of them in Round Drops, ( which is the forme of Tni- 
) And the Staying of them/or a little time, in Bubbles and Froth. In 
the fccond Degree or Kinde, this Appetite is ftrong j As in Iron, in Stone , 
in mod, &:In the third,this Appetite is in a Medium betweene the o- 
ther two: For fuch Bodies doe partly follow the Touch of another Bo- 
die- And partly fticke and continue to themfelues; And therefore they 
roapb, and draw themfelues in Threds *, As we fee in Pitch,Glerv, Bird- 
lirne^c.Bm note,that aWsdlide Bodies axe Cleauing,moxe or leffe r And 
that they loiic better the Touch of fomewhat that is Tangible, than of 
Aire:- For ivater, in fmall quantity, cleauCth to any- Thing that is So¬ 
lid^ And fo would Metall too, if the weight drew it not off. And there¬ 
fore GoldFolidte,ox any Metall Foliate, cleaueth: But thofe Bodies which 
are noted to be Clammie,and Cleauing,are fuch,a[s haue a more indif¬ 
ferent Appetite ( at once, ) to follow another Bodit • And to hold to 
them-
