Of dyuerse fontaynes and welles that sourde on therthe / capitulo ¶xxjo
THer ben plente of fontaynes in other places that moche ofte chaunge their colour / and other of whom come myracles / but it is not wel knowen wherof this pro∣cedeth / In the londe of Samarye is a wel that chaungeth and differenceth his colour four tymes in the yere / hit is first grene / and after it chaungeth in to Sangwynne and after it becometh trowble / and after alle this it be∣cometh clere. nette. and right fyne / in suche wyse that men delyte them in beholdyng of it / but no persone dar drynke of it / In this partye is yet another fontayne whiche spryngeth thre or four dayes the weke good and hol∣somme / And the other thre dayes it spryngeth not / but is alle drye / Ther is also a grete Ryuer that renneth sixe dayes duryng in the weke / And on the sabotte daye it renneth not / ffor assone as the sabbotte day approcheth / he rebouteth and goth in to therthe agayn / By Acres the Cyte is founden a maner of sande / and there is founden also of the glayre of the see / whiche ben medled to gydre / And of thyse two myxtyons is made good glasse and clere / In Egypte is the rede see / where the chyldren of Israhel passed ouer drye foote
