II.5 · The Anatomy and Regeneration of Chaotic Water
German & Latin
1723 pp 273–274Solchen Discours soll der Leser wohl capiren, denn er kein Wort umsonst mitführet. So er ihn auf einmal nicht verstehet, so speculire er so lange, bis er ihn verstehet. Es möchte nun einer auch wohl fragen, ob das Aqua recolacea zu Samen oder der Same zu Aqua recolacea wird? Solches ist im Vorhergehenden solviret, denn der Same und Recolaceum ist eins, nur daß wir Menschen solchen scheiden cum Termini compositione multiplicativa. Damit aber ein Liebhaber mit Augen sehe, daß diesem also sey, und daß sich nur der scharffe und saltzige Samen geschwind coagulire und das Recolaceum nicht, so nehme er folgendes Exempel zu Gute, welches ihn mit Händen greiffen macht. Das Wasser in den hyleosischen oder chaotischen Subjecten können wir mit Augen nicht sehen, denn dessen flüchtige separirte wasserichte Theile sind alle fast in Sapore & Odore durchaus gleich; im Wein aber hat er einen empfindlichen Unterscheid, an welchem er wohl mercken kan, wie sich das Aqua recolacea insipida von dem Sapido oder scharff-empfindlichen Geist separiret.
The Golden Chain of Homer: II.5 · The Anatomy and Regeneration of Chaotic Water
1723 pp 273–274The reader should grasp this discourse well: not a word in it is idle. If he does not understand it at once, let him reflect until he does. Someone may still ask whether recolaceous water becomes seed or seed recolaceous water. That has been resolved above: seed and the recolaceous are one, distinguished by people through multiplying combinations of terms. To see with his own eyes that this is so, and that only sharp, salty seed coagulates quickly, not the recolaceous portion, let the reader accept the following palpable example. In hylean or chaotic subjects we cannot distinguish the water by sight, for their separated volatile watery portions are almost entirely alike in taste and smell. Wine, however, offers a perceptible difference, showing how insipid recolaceous water separates from the sapid or perceptibly sharp spirit.
