Oyl of Vitriol and Oyl of Turpentine being shaken together, produce a strong Ferment,
and an Expansion or Explosion. The Blood of Fishes and Sea-Monsters is actually cold, and yet they move very violently; wherefore in favour of those that believe Animal Explosions, I shall add, that if Oyl of Vitriol and Sal-Armoniack be mixed gradually, the one being contained in a Bladder, and the other in a Bolt-head, to which it is tyed (as in the first Experiment) when the Sal-Armoniack falls upon the Oyl, it will cause a violent Explosion.
