3S(aturall Htflor): 
The Fifth is 3 the Brecitm»g forth of the Aduentutom Motflure in Bodies ; 
For as trotting doth haften PutefaEDw • So Conuenient Dryings (whereby 
the more Radical Motflure is oneiy kept in,) putteth backe Putrefaftion: 
So wefeethat Herbs, and F/#jm j,ifthey be dried in the Shade; Or dried 
in the hot Sunne,fora f nail time keepe beft. For the Emflflon or the Loofc 
and Aduentitious Motflure, doth betray the Radtcdl Moiflure ; And cani- 
eth it out for Company. 
The Sixth is, the Strengthening^ the Spirits of Bodies ; For as a Great 
Heat keepeth Bodies from PutrefaElton ; But a Tepide Heat endineth them 
to PutrefaElton: So a Strongs^/* likewife preferueth, and a Weakeor 
, Faint Spirit drfpofeth to Corruption. So wee hnde that Salt water corrupt- 
1 eth not fo loone as Frefh: And Salting of Oifters,and Powdring of Meat, 
keepeth them from PutrefaBion. It Would bee tried alio, whether Cbalke 
put into Water, or Dr ink?, dot h not preferue it from Putrefying , or (peed v 
Souring. So we fee that Strong Beere will laft longer than final! 5 And ali 
Things, thatare hotand Aromaticall, doe helpe to preferue Liquors, or 
Powders,&c. Whichthevdoe,as well bv Strengthning the Spirits, asbv 
S oaking out the loofe Motflure. 
The Senenth is, Separation of the Cruder Parts, and thereby making */><; 
Body more Eqttall, forall vnpcr'ed Mixture isapr to Putrcjie 5 And Watry 
Subdances are more apt to Put re fie, than Oylv. So wee feed: (tilled Wa¬ 
ters will laft longer than Raw Waters 5 And things that haue palled the 
Fire, doe laft longer, than thole chat haue not parted the Fire; As Dried 
Peares,&c. ^ i( 
The Eighth is, the Bravoing forth continually of that Part , where the Pa¬ 
ir eft Elion begittneth • Which is (commonly) the Loofe andtvatry Motflure ;| 
Not only lor the Reafon before giuenv that it prouoketh the Radicall Moi 
fluretocome forthwith it; But becaiife being detained in the Body, the 
Putnf Elion taking ho ! d of it, infe&eth the reft: As we lee in the Embalm 
mg dead Bodies: A nd the lame Rcaforiks of Preferring Herbs , or Fruits , or 
Blowers , in Bran, or Meale. 
The Ninth is, the Commixture of any Thing that is more Oily, or Sweet ; 
For fueh Bodies are leaft apt to Putrejie, the Aire working little vpon them: 
And they not putrefying preferue the reft. And therefore wee fee Syrups , 
and Ointment if will laft longer, than Inyces. 
The Tenth is, the Commixture of fomewhat that is Dry ; For Putrefa¬ 
ction beginneth firft from the Spirits ; And then from the Motflure: And 
that that is drie is vnapt to putrefie : And therefore Smoake preferueth j 
Flefh ; As wee fee in Bacon, and Neats-Tongues, and Martlemas' 
Beefey&p. 
The Opinion of feme of the Ancients , that Blow tie Aires doe pre* 
ferue Bodies, longerthan other Aires, feemeth toMee Probable ; For 
chat the Blowne Aires , being Ouer-charged and Comprelfed, will hard¬ 
ly receiue the Exhaling of any Thing, but rather repulfe it. It was tried 
in a Blowioc Bladder, whereinto Flefh was put, and likewife a Flower, and 
itfortednot: For Dr? Bladders'will not Blow : And Hew Bladders ra¬
