will be tranfporced in a very fmall Roomc. (1 
I T feemeth, that Fijh 3 that are vfed to the Salt-water , doe neuerthe- 
iefTe delight more in Freft. We fee, that Salmons, and Smelts, lone to 
get into Riuers, though it be againft the streame. At the Hauen of Con- 
jtantinople, you fhall haue great Quantities of Ft ft that come from the 
Euxine Sea ■ that when they come into the Freft water,do inebriate and 
turne vp their Bellies-, So as you may take them with your Hand.I doubt 
there hath not been fufficient Experiment made of Putting Sea-Fijh into 
, Frtft-water, Ponds , and Pooles. It is a thing of great Vfc,and Pleafiire: 
For io you may haue them new at fome good diftance from the s?a: 
And befides, it may be, the Fift will eat the pleafanter,and may fall to 
breed, And it is laid, that Colchefier Oyfters, which are put into Pits, 
where the Sea goeth and commeth (but yet lo, that there is a Freft-wa- 
ter allocomming tothem^ when the Sea voideth,) become by that 
meanes Fatter, and more Growne. 
T Hc 7 urkift-Bov) giueth a very Forcible shoot ; Infomuch as it hath 
bin known,that the Arrow hath pierced a Steele Target, or a Peece 
of Brajfe of two Inches thicke: But that which is more ltrange,the Ar¬ 
row , if it be Headed with wood, hath beene knowne to pierce tfiorow a 
Peece of wood, of eight Inches thicke. And it is certaine, that we had 
in vie at one time, for Sea-Fight , lhort Arrowes, which they called 
Sprigbts , without any other Heads, faue wood fharpned j which were 
difeharged out of Muskets, and would pierce thorow the Tides of ships, 
where a Bullet would not pierce. But this dependeth vpon one of the 
greateft Secrets in all Nature-, Which is,that Similitude of Subftancew ill 
cache Attraction, where the Body is wholly freed from the Motion of 
Grauity : For ifthat were takenaway,LeW would draw Lead, and Gold 
would draw Gold , and Iron would draw Iron , without the helpe of the 
Load-Stone .But this fame Motion of weight or Grauity (which is a meere 
Motion of the Matter , and hath no Affinity with the Forme or Kinde,) 
doth kill the other Motion^ except it felfe be killed by a violent Motion-, 
As in thele Injlances of Arrowes 5 For then the Motion of AttraSion by 
Similitudeoi'Subftance, beginneth to fhew it felfe. But we fhall handle 
this Point of Nature fully in due Place. 
T Hey haue in Turkey , and the Eajl, certaine Confetti m, which they 
call Scruets , which are like to Candied Conferues 5 And are made ol 
Sugar and Limons, or Sugar and Citrons,or Sugar and Violets , and fome 
other Flowers-And fome Mixture of Amber for the more delicate Per- 
fons ; And thofe they diffolue in Watered thereof make their Drinke , 
bccaufe they are forbidden wine by the Law. But I doe much marucll, 
that no Enghftman,or Dutchman,or German, doth fet vp Brewing in Con- 
ftantinople -, Coofidering they haue fuch Quantity of Barley. For as for
