CHAP. IX.
TO these may a man adde the reason of Democritus:* 1.1 the more solid a body is, the more suddenly receiueth it heate, and keepeth it the longer. Therefore if you set a vessell of brasse, or glasse, or silu••, in the Sunne, that of brasse is warmed soonest, and keepeth the heate longest. He expresseth the reason in this sort: It must needs be that the pores and passages of those bodies that are closed, solid and thicke should be more lesse then the rest, and that the ayre that entereth should be farre more subtile. It followeth then, that as the Sto••es that are lesse spati∣ous, and the smallest. Ouens are soone••t hot; so the pores and pa••sages that are hidden, and cannot be obserued by the eye, doe more speedily entertaine the heate, and because they are so narrow, deliuer ouer this heate more slowly then they haue receiued it.
