Mineral Wells.
I now take a view of England. At Bath, the Cold Bath is the same with Pitcaithly. But the hot one is quite different. At Spaw Wells in Yorkshire, the Wells are just the same. At Dortwitch in Worchestershire there is a Well that is just the same with that one at Renfrew. At Lincoln there is a Well simular to the Oily Well at Edinburgh.
I now pass over to Ireland. And first, I take a review of Lochneagh: It has all the Virtues Grew's Well has, and is attended with the same properties. Also, at Omagh there is a Well, which I have examined myself, as good as Pitcaithly, although different in quality.
In short, there are many Wells in Ireland nothing Inferior to those in Scotland : But as few Scotsmen will go there for their health, the people in Ireland knows such Wells best themselves, and what they are suitable for To tell the truth, Ireland, for the support of human life, abounds with plenty, and to spare, nothing behind any of our Christian Kingdoms, being blessed with great abundance.
Having now given you this short Narration, which rightly observed, may prove very useful: I conclude with the words of the Psahinist David, and holy Job, Although the troubles be many that afflict the Just, yet the Lord, in his good time and way, will deliver them out of them all And, although skin-worms destroy these clay tabernacles of ours, yet in our flesh shall we see God.”
