Salt giveth acheck to the putrefiié‘rion of Humours, and dillolution of Bodies, as a great bond of mixtion, whereby its various principles efpoufe a near union, and preferve the integrity of Compounds: And to l‘ eak more clofcly to our purpofe, it highly promotes the Coagulation of folid Particles,and as havinga fixed faline difpofitionfind by reafon it is confedera- ted with ioincwlirtt of Sulphur, and moii of Earth, doth impart Concretion to the meg: lord and compac'i bodies of Minerals and Metals.

Others aflign the Infirumental Caufe of it to Cold, which doth gather together the loofe Particles of Nitrous Salt 5 which they conceive may be well performed in rheKidneys, and Bladder, as wellas aUrinal. "This feenieth very improbable, becaufe the Body is enlivened by a principle of Heat, derived from the Blood: So that in reafon it cannot be apprehended, that fuel) Coldnefs ( as long as the Body is acted with Life) can be found to give a power of Concretion to the Saline and Earthy parts of Liquors. And it may feeni more probable in fome manner, to attribute a Coagulating principle to the Ferment of the Kidneys, as the Vellels have Particles .of i ixivial Salt (flicking to them) feparared From the Blood, in its pallage and though the Coalitions of many {mall faline parts may conltiture hard bodies, as in Salt of Gemm, and Follile, and Marine Salt, yet thefe faline Concretions arc difl‘erent from thofc of Stones, as being leis hard and folid, and more fi'iable: So that the principle of Petrifiié‘tion, doth fuppofe not only Saline, but alfo Earthy parts, which give Confiflence, and the other bind the Earthy more clofie together, which is rendred more firm by a Chymous Glutinous h/Tatter, whence the compage of Stones becometh more compaSt and hard then that of Salt alone, molt confpicuous in artificial Congularions, madehy coiiidn of Salt Water, and alfo in natural faline Concretinn, produced by an innate principle in the Bowels of the Earth; lo that a due proportion of Salt and Earth, is requifite to form a Pcrong Con- cretion, by rc‘ifon the Earthy parts do hinder the folution of Saline, when they are moili ed with Liqurd bodies, and the Saline do give the bond of inixtion, leil‘ tne Earthy being dci'citute of Salt, fliould confiitute aloof: Body in the form of Powder; whereupon too great (a: quantity of .911: cannot turn an ineonliderable part of Earth into Stone. Whence it may be in. ferred, that upon a due pro-portion of Earth, being obferved by Nature, the greater quantity of Salt, dothmake a more folid and firm Concretion. So that Saline and Earthy parts, being united in a due quantity, and embodied with a petril‘ying Juice, or Spirit, do generate the Stone in Humane Bodies.
