To this, there are two things to be answered: One, that he never saw the experience of drawing out the Butter, which I have done; and that when the _Chocolate_ is made without adding any thing to the dryed Powder, which is incorporated, onely by beating it well together, and is united, and made into a Paste, which is a signe, that there is a moist, and glutinous part, which, of necessity, must correspond with the Element of Aire. The other reason, we will draw from Philosophy; affirming that, in the _Cacao_, there are different substances. In the one, that is to say, in that, which is not so fat, it hath a greater quantity of the Oylie, then of the earthie Substance; and in the fatter part, it hath more of the earthy than of the Oily substance. In these there is Heate and Moysture in predominancy; and in the other, cold and dry. Notwithstanding that it is hard to be believed, that in one and the same substance, and so little of the _Cacao_, it can have substances so different: To the end that it may appeare more easie, clear, and evident, first we see it in the _Rubarbe_, which hath in it hot and soluble parts, and parts which are Binding, Cold and Dry, which have a vertue to strengthen, binde, and stop the loosenesse of the Belly: I say also, that he that sees and considers the steele, so much of the nature of the earth, as being heavy, thick, cold, and dry; it seemes to be thought unproper for the curing of Opilations, but rather to be apt to encrease them; and yet it is given for a proper remedy against them.
