and steel, and ye catchiing thereof by tinder. also ye kindling of
fire by a burning-glass collecting Diverse rays of ye sun to nar-
-row space, where they rub each other and cause this motion.
also ye Inflaming of wet hay by putrefaction, for ye volatile pa-
-rts of ye matter being restrained by ye moisture, are strirred move
vehemently to break out, for {which} when they found a passage be-
-come a flame.

[*following two lines of text are in a single bracket in the middle of the page*]
Matters brisk motion fire hereby put on
fuell, wine, flint, glass, putrefaction.

now bec: this motion cannot be continued without a succesi-
-on of air to follow ye moved parts, therefore fire is extinguish`d
by hindering this succession, as ye putting an extinguisher over
a candle; Stopping ye top and bottom of a chimney; laying wood
or coles too close; or heaping too much fuell on a small fire;
or by ye Pneumatick Engine (or air pump) when ye air is eva-
-cuated. in generall, hatsoever is apt to stop this motion Doth
hunder fire. as for ye putting out fire in y steam of a chim-
-ney fired, but shooting up a gun, by pulvis fulminans, or the
crackling of salt; as also ye blowing out a candle, 'tis Done by
putting ye fiery particles into such a motion (onwards) as where-
-by they are separated from ye combustible matter.

Lastly, water in a sufficient quantity, for {that} its parts are not
apt to take this motion, and therefore do hang in ye way of tho-
-se parts {which} are apt to be moved; but if it be but little, and ye
fire overcome it to rare faction, {then} dos i move as ye Air Doth,
and so is sibservient to ye flame, as we see in ye Smiths Coals,
and green ash-wood.

[*following two lines of text are in a single bracket in the middle of the page*]
Extinguish fire by stopping motion
bloing of flame, and pouring water on.

the species sensible of fire are Actuall and Potentiall.

[*1*] Actuall fire again is either coal or flame.

[*1*] Coal, or solid body {that} seems to hold fire in it, is such as has vo-
-latile or motive parts restrained by some particles of other figures:
hereby ye fire seems to be within in, but indeed there is only
a little flame round about it, caused by ye motion communica-
-ted by ye adjacent parts of air.
hereby see it Luminous in ye surface, but we cannot see
into it, as it manifest in red, or white, hot Iron.

[*2*] Flame is where ye moveable parts are more free, and can vi-
-brate themselves more outward in ye air;
of this consider the { matter, affections, Effects.
