Thus you have a view of this whole _Volume_; to which it may perhaps not be amiss to adde, for a Conclusion, some of those Particulars which are esteemed by the Authour to out-shine the rest, and are here and there inter-woven as such. For example, in the _First Part_. The use of _Pindules_, for knowing by their means the _state_ of ones _Health_, from the different beatings of the _Pulse_, p. 51. The _Chain_ of _Mountains_, so drawn over the Earth, that they make, as it were, an _Axis_, passing from _Pole_ to _Pole_; and several transverse _ductus_, so cutting that _Axis_, as to make, in a manner, an _Equator_ and _Tropicks_ of Mountains: by which concatenation he imagines, That the several parts of the Earth are bound together for more firmness, p. 69. A Relation of a strange _Diver_, by his continual converse in Water, so degenerated from himself, That he was grown more like an _Amphibium_, than a man, who, by the command of a _Sicilian_ King, went down to the bottom of _Charibdis_, and brought a remarkable account of the condition of that place, p. 98. A Description of the Origine of the _Nile_, as this Author found it in a certain _MS._ of one of his own _Society_, called _Peter Pais_, whom he affirms to have been an Eye-witness, and to have visited the Head of the _Emperor of AEthiopia_ himself _Anno_ 1618. which _Manuscript_, he saith, was brought to _Rome_, out of _Africa_, by their _Procurator_ of _India_ and _AEthiopia, p._ 72. {115} The _Communication_ of the _Seas_ with one another by Subterraneous Passages, _viz._ of the _Caspian_, with the _Pont Euxin_ and the _Persian Gulf_; of the _Mare Mortuum_, with the _Mare Rubrum_, and of this latter with the _Mediterranean_; as also of _Scylla_ with _Charybdis_, p. 85. 101. The Subterraneous _Store-houses_ (in all the four parts of the Earth) of _Water_, and _Fire_, and _Air_; together with their important Uses, p. 111. An account of the state of the Earth about the _Poles_, how the Waters are continually swallowed up by the _Northern_, and running along through the Bowels of the Earth, do regurgitate at the _Southern Pole_, p. 159. A description of Mount _Vesuvius_ and _AEtna_, both visited by the Author himself, _Anno_ 1638. their Dimensions, Communication, Incendiums, Paths of Fiery Torrents cast out by them, &c. as also of the _Vulcans_ in _Iceland_ and _Groenland_, and their Correspondence and Effects. p. 180.
