burn_v in_o the_o very_a cavity_n and_o cavern_n of_o they_o the_o cavity_n themselves_o consist_v of_o a_o bituminous_a matter_n for_o bitumen_n and_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v make_v of_o it_o

that_o if_o the_o matter_n preserve_v this_o fire_n be_v bitumen_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o almost_o the_o whole_a world_n shall_v be_v bitumen_n because_o ever_o since_o and_o before_o

this_o mean_n more_o remote_a from_o the_o fountain_n sol._n the_o flame_n be_v feed_v two_o way_n either_o when_o the_o flame_n follow_v the_o matter_n as_o when_o the_o fire_n burn_v wood_n or_o

itself_o and_o natural_o cold_a because_o dense_a and_o heavy_a but_o hot_a accidental_o only_a now_o the_o great_a question_n will_v be_v from_o whence_o this_o heat_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v proceed_v i_o will_v first_o show_v from_o whence_o it_o do_v not_o proceed_v and_o thereby_o confute_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o 1._o it_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o sun_n as_o many_o imagine_v suppose_v that_o all_o heat_n in_o the_o world_n come_v from_o thence_o and_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v beat_v upon_o by_o the_o sunbeam_n do_v thereby_o receive_v into_o itself_o a_o certain_a heat_a virtue_n but_o this_o be_v very_o improbable_a see_v that_o they_o that_o dig_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n observe_v that_o the_o heat_a power_n of_o the_o sun_n although_o in_o most_o hot_a season_n do_v not_o penetrate_v the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n above_o six_o foot_n deep_a do_v not_o we_o see_v how_o a_o thin_a wall_n or_o bough_n of_o tree_n in_o a_o arbour_n keep_v off_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n though_o never_o so_o great_a to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o earth_n be_v cold_o two_o foot_n deep_a in_o summer_n than_o in_o winter_n 2._o it_o proceed_v not_o from_o a_o antiperistasis_n of_o the_o cold_a air_n in_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o this_o have_v place_n no_o further_o than_o the_o heat_a power_n of_o the_o ray_n come_v beside_o the_o natural_a cold_a of_o the_o solid_a and_o dense_a earth_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v great_a power_n to_o repel_v upward_o than_o the_o adventious_a of_o the_o soft_a thin_a and_o light_a air_n to_o force_v downward_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o indeed_o in_o all_o reason_n shall_v be_v generate_v but_o a_o little_a way_n within_o the_o earth_n of_o its_o own_o accord_n be_v very_o light_o ascend_v upward_o through_o the_o passage_n make_v by_o the_o sun_n and_o this_o we_o know_v that_o after_o a_o long_a summer_n day_n it_o be_v before_o the_o next_o morning_n almost_o vanish_v though_o never_o so_o great_a much_o less_o will_v it_o be_v preserve_v till_o and_o through_o the_o winter_n it_o must_v then_o of_o necessity_n be_v another_o kind_n of_o heat_n and_o it_o be_v such_o that_o towards_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v cold_a as_o be_v more_o remote_a from_o its_o original_n or_o beginning_n and_o be_v in_o summertime_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o sun_n open_v the_o earth_n and_o make_v vent_n easy_o expire_v and_o be_v therefore_o less_o perceive_v but_o in_o winter_n frost_n be_v restrain_v from_o exhale_v and_o be_v condense_v as_o may_v easy_o be_v perceive_v in_o deep_a well_n now_o to_o know_v from_o what_o principle_n this_o heat_n have_v its_o original_n or_o rise_v we_o must_v examine_v whence_o proceed_v the_o heat_n in_o hot_a bath_n for_o there_o the_o subterraneal_a heat_n offer_v itself_o more_o conspicuous_a and_o apparent_a to_o our_o view_n but_o concerning_o the_o original_a of_o the_o heat_n of_o subterraneal_a water_n there_o be_v as_o much_o doubt_n as_o of_o the_o generation_n of_o those_o water_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n endeavour_v to_o prove_v how_o heat_n do_v not_o come_v thereby_o confute_v the_o opnion_n of_o some_o and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o show_v which_o way_n it_o may_v proceed_v probable_o 1._o it_o be_v not_o cause_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o that_o partly_o for_o the_o reason_n above_o mention_v as_o also_o because_o then_o those_o water_n will_v be_v hot_a in_o summertime_n than_o in_o winter_n 2._o it_o be_v not_o from_o the_o agitation_n of_o wind_n in_o the_o channel_n of_o the_o fountain_n for_o if_o so_o than_o they_o be_v vent_v forth_o the_o heat_n will_v present_o be_v extinguish_v 3._o it_o

notwithstanding_o he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o generation_n of_o metal_n continue_v in_o one_o place_n except_o any_o ground_n be_v dig_v first_o and_o so_o space_n and_o place_n leave_v for_o new_a

we_o see_v hot_a spring_n continue_v many_o year_n together_o in_o one_o place_n at_o a_o constant_a heat_n beside_o if_o this_o opinion_n be_v true_a than_o where_o we_o see_v metal_n and_o mineral_n

these_o differ_v among_o themselves_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o heat_n proceed_v from_o this_o fire_n and_o indeed_o from_o other_o author_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v more_o anthentick_a the_o one_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o the_o fire_n be_v under_o the_o place_n through_o which_o the_o water_n run_v and_o so_o like_o fire_n under_o a_o still_a force_n up_o the_o water_n by_o way_n of_o a_o vapour_n the_o other_o that_o the_o heat_n proceed_v from_o some_o occult_a remote_a burn_a and_o pass_v through_o the_o vein_n and_o fibre_n of_o the_o earth_n where_o it_o meet_v with_o the_o water_n and_o distil_v they_o up_o to_o the_o head_n of_o the_o fountain_n but_o agricola_n except_v against_o these_o two_o way_n as_o be_v very_o impropable_a the_o
