From thence we went over to Haragate w^{ch} is just by the Spaw, two mile further over a Common that belongs to Knarsborough; its all marshy and wett and here in the Compass of 2 miles is 4 very different springs of water; there is the Sulpher or Stincking spaw, not Improperly term’d for the Smell being so very strong and offensive that I could not force my horse Near the Well; there are two Wells together with basons in them that the Spring rises up in, which is ffurr’d with a White Scumm which rises out of the water, if you keep it in a Cup but a few hours it will have such a white Scumm on it, not withstanding it rises out of y^e Spring very Cleare and so being a quick Spring itt Soone purges it Self Cleare againe, it Comes from Brimstone mines, for the taste and smell is much of Sulpher, tho’ it has an additionall offenciveness Like Carrion. The Ground is Bitumus or the Like that it runns over, it has a quality of Changing Silver into y^e Coull^r of Copper and that in a few minutes, much quicker than the Baths in the West County in Somersetshire. Its a quick purger and very good for all Scurbutick humours, some persons drink a quart or two, I dranke a quart in a Morning for two dayes and hold them to be a good Sort of Purge if you Can hold y^r breath so as to drinke them down. Within a quarter of a mile is the sweete spaw or Chalibiet, a Spring which rises off Iron and steele like Astrup or Tunbridge and Like the German Spaw. This is a quick Spring and the Well made up with a bason, and a Cover of Stone over it Like an arch; this opperates as all jron springs does, tho I Could not find them so strong or spiriteous as those at Tunbridge. One thing I observ’d of the Stinking spaw tho’ its taste and opperation was like the Somersetshire bathes, yet this was not warme in the Least as those Bathes are. Just Between these two spaws is a fine Cleare and sweete Spring of Comon water very good to wash Eyes and pleasant to Drinke. The ffourth Spring w^{ch} is but two mile off these is of a petrifying quality turnes all things into stone. It rises in a banck on y^e top of a hill and so runns along in a little Channell about a foote over and all the Ground it runns over is moorish and full of holes with water Standing in it, w^{ch} stincks just like the Sulpher Spaw and will turn Silver to the Coullour of Copper as y^t does. Notwithstanding this Clear spring runns through it with a Swift Current to the brow of y^e hill and then it spreads it Self all round y^e hill w^{ch} is a Rock, and so runns down all over the brow of y^e hill Continually, like a Nasty shower of Small and Great Raine, and so it meetes in y^e bottom and runns all into the river Knarsborough, and this water as it runns—where it Lyes in the hollows of y^e Rock does turn moss and wood into Stone or rather Crusts or Candys wood. I saw some w^{ch} had a perfect Shell of stone about it, but they tell me it does in tyme penetrate through the Wood. I took Moss
