Instead of the Oyl of Cloves, we substitued some Chymical Oyl of Mace, into which we put a compe∣tent quantity of the Glacial Phospho∣rus; but though we warmed the bot∣tom of the Phial, at least as much as we judged necessary, yet, upon the unstopping of it, there appeared no sign of Light, though the tryal was made much more than once or twice,
and sometimes with favourable Cir∣cumstances, which event was the less expected, because the Oyl, made use of, was presented me as very pure, by the same Traveller who gave me That of Cloves newly mentioned. And because also the Warmed Phosphorus was so well conditioned, that as soon as ever the Oyl was removed, it shone with a somewhat extraordi∣nary Vividness.
