^{page 226 note [i]} The Newcastle coal, which is the chief fuel in London, contains in it a considerable quantity of vitriol; which, being thus, in form of smoak, buoyed up into the atmosphere, whenever there is any considerable fog, or humidity in it, this vitriolic master immediately liquifies, and so constitutes a sort of menstruum, which, hovering about, and lighting upon the bodies within its verge, fretts and erodes those that are liable to be wrought upon by it. This it is that makes the efforts we see upon our buildings; causing the iron-work to rust and shiver, the stones to moulder, and in time to fall to pieces. It is now known to be this likewise, that, along with the air in which it is dissolved, entering the lungs, contributes greatly to the coughs that are so frequent here, and is very troblesome and offensive to those persons that are phthisical, asthmatic, or labour under any indisposition of the lungs. And they suffer more from it when the fogs are the thickest, and there is the greatest quantity of this floating low and in the region of the atmosphere wherein they breathe. Nor does any thing give them the relief that a brisk wind does, by its dissipating and removing this matter. Its effects are indeed proportioned to the quantity of it. Where the houses stand thick, and the hearths are many, these effects are so much the more quick and sensible. Some of the churches built since the fire, that are in the throng and center of the city, have already suffered more from these erosions than the banqueting house at Whitehall, that is built of the very same sort of stone, and has stood three times as long. That therefore this, so noble a pile, is likely to stand firm, and a great while, is what will be reflected upon with pleasure by those that think this, of the fort, the finest piece of architecture in England. At the same time that all the well-wishers to History and Chronology cannot but greatly regret it should so unhappily fall out, that the Marmora Arundelliana and other ancient monuments brought from Greece apd Anatolia, and now reposited at Oxford, have suffered more in seventy or eighty years there, than in perhaps two thousand in the countries from whence they were first fetched. But these vitriolic salts are not so detrimental to the buildings here, as our frosts sometimes happen to be. It is known that water in freezing expands itself, taking up a sensibly greater room than before and its expansive power is so great as to force all obstacles; nor do we know any body strong enough to resist it. And therefore whenever a building is exposed to rain, and frost follows, the water that happened to light in the joyntings and intervals of the stones, in freezing, distances and enlarges them, and that which sunk into the pores bursts and shatters the stone but this more or less, answerably to the laxity and porousness of the stone, to the quantity of the water, and the depth that it penetrates. Upon this account it is that builders are so careful in covering their stone work, and securing it, as much as may be from the fall of rain. Now there falling very little rain in Egypt, and it. being besides a country so excessively hot as not to be subject to frost, it being likewise not liable to the other inconvenience, the vitriolic salts in the air; we have a very assignable reason, to say nothing of the great hardness of the stone and marble there, why their buildings have endured so long, and stood firm thorough so many ages.

^{page 251 note [h]} It may not be wholly foreign to take notice that in China they have to this day a custom not very unlike that set forth above. When they are to enter upon any undertaking of importance, they first apply to their idols, and make them promises of great oblations if they succeed, and entreat them to favour and to be auspicious to the enterprize. To find out the disposition of the idol, they cast lots before it. In case the lot proves right, all is well; but otherwise they fall foul upon the idol, traduce it, call it dog, villain, and all the ill names they can muster up. Then they cast lots again; and, if in conclusion they fall not right, they fling the idol down, whip it, beat, roast it at a fire, and use all the indignities to it that they can invent, till the lot becomes affirmative, when they speak the idol fair again, and make a feast with great offerings to it, singing, and musick.

The Jewish nation had been so exaci in their observance of this precept, and so much avoided the use of images, that none among them seem to have had any skill in imagery; nor so much as understood any thing of the art of casting of metals. Insomuch, that Solomon was obliged to send abroad for one that lived in Phoenicia, a country where imagery was as much in use as in Egypt. For the figures employed for the adorning of the temple, and the molten sea, were all cast and wrought by Hiram, the son of a Jewish widow, bred in Tyre, is not born there. I Kings, c. vii.
