Quote of the Day

“For the Aquafortis being abstracted, the Body becometh meltable as before, and that Water abides not with, nor subsists in the Body, as its radical moisture. The Bodies indeed are corroded, but not dissolved; and by how much more they are corroded they are so much more estranged from a Metallick kind.
