For fuperflition is the Ape that imitates true Religion, and a doting affe&ion from a faulty imitation, that proceeds from lack of knowledge, and wcakneffe of underftandine, what the will of God is. Whence it comes to pafie that when the mind floces and is unftable, unconftanc, various, and doubtfull, and wants knowledge and confidence in God, it is wholly ignorant,

T Hough a little before I treated of the Nature, and neceflary ufeofSaltj- yet it will be worth the while, to fpeak fome- tlnng more largely of this wholefome .fauce, withqdc which all meats are unfavoury, and without tafte.

It is boyled and prepared at Zirizeay and many other pla¬ ces in Zealandy in Summer when the Sun is very hot, by force TheSeamoye whereof the Sea grows exceeding Salt, and the Salt grows excream fait in summer * white in the larger v‘eflels that are to m^e it in, which are filled with Sea-water, Bituminous dots of Earth being put under and feton fire, we call it Turf, whereby by degrees all things are done fomewhat better m the Salt pits, than by heaping up wood under thekettlc, by reafon of the flame that dangeroufly breaks forth from the nadhth of the Furnace.

Our Anceftors formerly made fait to their great profu,noc of Sea-water congealed and hardned into Salt by the heat of the Sun,fuch as is brought from Spain and France to us, biJtof the clods of the Sea, burnt to afhes, which by powring in water by degrees, they made Salt of that was very clear and bright :the people and Inhabitants called it Zel or Zilzouty from the clods that were full of Salt* from whence it is taken : and all the Low-Countries unto our dates ufed no other kind of Sale. But when that kind of ma¬ king Salt grew out ofufeby another way brought in from other parts, a new way was invented,that is no Idle gainfull then the fgrener. Jot coorfe* black* dirty, fair* being brought in from Spain and Aquitan^oui Country men take forth the mud and filth, and make it exceeding white, and fit for ufe to preferve meats. Al£o our Salt-makers ufe another way of boyling Salt, that dif¬ fers not much from the former. For qvery third or^urth year they break up their hearths and floors, they call it Denheert , with a fork, and a large vefTel being fet upon it, and made hot with fire put under it, they caft the clots and pieces, that are wet with a briny fait liquor that drops from them abundantly into the veflcl, and thefe they break fmall and foke in Sea-water, and boy] them; after a few hours the muddy dregs will fink dowir to the bottom, and moft white Salt is drawn forth.They call this kind Cleyn zout&z Cliync zout^ for that the clots of it* ftruck one againft the other like hints for hardneffe, will make a clanging noife.
This kind of Salt is fit to bring to the Table to adorn it with, and is ufefull for many things : yet is it not fo good to preferve things. Wherefore they rub Cow-hides, and skins with this fait, and cover them with it, as they do alfo with coorfe Sea-falc, Wherefore the Senate made a Law, that no man fhould fell fuch fait, unleffe he would teftify upon oath, that he fold it not for fin- cerc and natural Salt, that is made of Sea Salt, and the brine of it, but for f'oflil Salt, that is dug up and made by Art,left there fhould be any fraud, and impofture ufed. For being it is as white as Snow* and hath all the marks of the beft Salt, ignorant people cannot eafily difeern it* or obferve the difference unlefle they prove it by fuch things that ufe to be feafoned with it. For fait meats and other things feafoned and faked with this fait Vill fooncr ftink, and fmell rank* when you think to keep them till Summer be far fpent.

Honey, Butter, Hoggs-Greafe , even thofc fwel lings that when the Plague fpreads, do Tncw themfelvcs tinder the Armpits , and k the Groin. But pickle or brine made with Sait and Sea- water , doth prefently take away the burning heat , from any part that is burnt , and afkvageth the moll violent pains , whether they come from Gunpowder , Oyl , Pitch, Scalding-water, or coles of Fire, Briy'gooda- efpecially if a thinlinnen rag wet in the brine bee tapped upon gam^ bumn&' and wrapt about the burnt parts. For by this moyftning of it, is the fiery force wafht away , and the bitter pains are allaid. Bu % „Jdartsbur*- they do ill that apply cold , and rcpctcuffive means to thofc that things! C'° are fo affeded , tor lothey ftrike back , but do not draw forth the fiery heat, and by that means it takes fafter hold on the parts , wherefore at firft nothing is better than pickle , either new made, or that which lies upon Butter , if it be applyed,, Sope is as good ioP'&°df*r as this, whereby we wafh dirt from our cloths; if we make a Lmfwub rape liniment therewith , with Honey and Butter. Alfo water where- water ta^ts out Rape-roots are fod is fafely applyed, and it will be the more cffedtuall if you diffolvc a little quicklime in it 5 for fo applied as a Lixivium, it will abate the heat , and dry without biting. But fince I mentioned fome kinds of Salt a little before; I (hall debate concerning that artificiall Salt , that for want of naturall Salt may (upply the place of it;The Arabians call this kind Salt of Kalyj from $alt 6fK^yd a certain plant by the Sea wherewith our (bores arc plentifully kindofSalt • Bored. There grow in many places about us; fome herbs that have a Salt juyee , otit of which, Salt , if otherwifc we cannot pro¬ cure it, mayeafilybe drawn, and ufed in our Houfes; fuch is Sea Purflane, next kind to Halimw , as CMathtcUu tells us , who Mathioius bu was ingenious and painfull in difeovering of Plants : our people lndu^ at the end of Summer gather this and pickle it; and keep it, or covering it with common Salt ; they keep it for to ufe in Winter, as the Spaniards do Olives , Capers , Sampirc: For it raifeth ap¬ petite 5 and difpclis loathing and vomiting, if at any time the fto- mack oppreffed with flegmatick or choletick humours do loath meat.

But Sea- Orach , that looks wan, and unplea- fant is found on all the Banks of Zealand , yet it rifeth to n© height but lyes upon the ground, and is very low. Sea-Cabbage, which is the German Scldanella , which our Country people do mifcall by the name of Sea-Purflane, is rightly called Zoult Nelle , from its Salt favour; it grows abundantly on the Mountaines of Zealand, being neighbour to Halymw , Sampire, Anthillis and Eringos. It delights in the Sea Ay re , yet it is not watered with it , as the Seaweedsare, of which I fhall fpeak afterwards.

The whole herb from its bottom unto the top of it, is very deal and of a bright (hining green colour, and it doth not * '
decay or dye in Winter , fothat hanged upon the roofs oi Houfes, it will grow green a long time without any ocher moyilure , as Aloes } for it is very full of juyee, and wet with its naturall moy* flure abundantly. Our people becaufe it hurts and hinders Crabs, call it Crabbequel 5 For being it grows very thick, it (lops their courfes, that they can hardly pafle, and with great trouble do partisan herb they wind themfelves out of it , when men hunt after them , and foeeJ. lovC ex~ defire them for food. This herb is themoft pleafant and whole- cee ingJm fome fodder for flieep. For fince thefe Cattel in moyft weather , are fubjed: to the dropfic and Brumous tumours, we in our land J ee^s 1 call it den Bot , by eating this herb they are recreated and cured.
For it is a moft Salt Plant , becaufe allwaies when the Sea comes in , it is watered by it. Hence it is, that being thus moyftned , it grows thick and abundantly. But thofe that would keep this for fawce , my Counfell is chat they boyl it moderaceiy , and pickle it withVineger not too fharp , rather than with Salt pickle , or to cover it with Bay-Salt, as they doPurflane. The ufe of it is more wholefomc for fiegmaiique and fat people , than for fuch as are lean and fpare.

But that way is now left, by reafon of the abundance that is brought to us from France and Spain 5 yet might it eafily be recalled again, if there fhould beany hoftility that fhould keep forrain Salt from us , or plenty thereof fhould be wanting to us from any other caufe whatfoever. Where¬ fore I think I fhall not wholly lofe my labour, by fhewingthis r decay’d and almoft forgotten way of making Salt, that, ifever need be , it might be reftored again.
