Serum, into which the following things were dropped.
1. Aqua-fortis, from which there was a cheesy and white concretion, the Serum which swam at the top was pale; this Co∣agulum was not dissolved, by dropping into it Spirit of Sal Armoniack.
2. By the Clyssus there was made a white Curd, which fell to the bottom, but was less tenacious, or tough.
3. Spirit of Nitre, made a Coagulum like Aqua-fortis in all things, and when more Spirit was put in, the Serum was al∣most all coagulated.
4. Sweet Spirit of Nitre, made no alte∣ration at all.
5. Spirit of Salt did equally precipitate a white Curd to the bottom, like a Ielly, and of a pale Yellow Colour at the top, leaving a Liquor that was somewhat paler above it.
6. Spirit of Vitriol, did absolutely the same thing, excepting that the Liquor which swam at the top, did remain some∣what more tincted.
7. Spirit of Verdigrece made no change at all.
8. The Spirit of Sulphur made the same Coagulum with Spirit of Vitriol.
9. Polemanus's double Spirit, did the same

with Spirit of Salt, excepting that the Co∣agulum was a little thicker, and less white.
10. Arcanum Nitri, made a troubled bottom, but the Glass with the Liquor be∣ing shook it was exactly mixed again, and no alteration appeared. Into this mix∣ture there being dropped one or two drops of Aqua-fortis, it produced a milkie curd after the usual manner.
11. The Liquor of fixed Nitre also made a troubled bottom, and shaking the glass it was exactly mixed again, but dropping in Aqua-fortis there was an ebul∣lition made, and much Spume, or Forth raised of a Sulphureous colour, but never∣theless nothing was precipitated.
12. Spirit of Sal Armoniack prepared with the Bloodstone, did not thicken the Liquor, but only a little heighten the Co∣lour, a drop or two of Aqua-fortis being added to this, presently made a milky curd: but a greater quantity of Spirit of Sal Armoniack being poured upon it, it was again dissolved with small bubbles, and instead of the Coagulum there remain∣ed as it were a little thin transparent Phlegm.
