Docuit Hoc Aristoteles Libro De Mundo.

Continet, inquit, terra in se multos fontes, vt aqua, ita & spiritus & ignis:

Quidam amnium more fluunt, & vel ignescens eijciunt ferrum: Nunc tepida aqua erumpunt, nunc feruentissima, nunc temperata. [Sidenote: Lib 3. Nat. quast.] Et Seneca: Empedocles existimabat ignibus, quos multis locis apertos tegit terra, aquam calescere, si subiecti sint solo, per quod aqua transitus est. Et scite de thermis Baianis Pontanus.

Baiano sed ne fumare in littore thermas Mirere, aut liquidis fluitare incendia venis: Vulcani fora sulphureis incensa caminis Ipsa monent, late multum tellure sub ima Debacchari ignem, camposque exurere opertos. Inde fluit, calidum referens ex igne vaporem, Vnda fugax, tectis feruent & balnea flammis.

Hoc loco attingendum duxi quod tradit Saxo Grammaticus, Danorum celebratissimus historicus, Islandia fontes quosdam nunc ad summum excrescere, & exundare: Nunc adeo subsidere, vt vix fontes agnoscas. Qui etsi rariores apud nos inueniuntur, adscribam tamen similes, etiam alibi a natura productos, ne quis hic monstri quippiam imaginetur. Hos autem recitat Plinius. In Tenedo Insula vnum, qui semper a tertia noctis hora, in sextam solstitio astiuo exundet. In agro Pitinate, trans Apenninum montem, fluuium esse, qui omnibus Solstitijs astiuis exundet, brumali tempore siccetur. Refert etiam de fonte quodam satis largo, qui singulis horis intumeseat & residat. Nec id magis neglidendum: subire terras flumina, rursusque redire; vt Lycus in Asia, Erasinus in Argolica, Tigris in Mesopotamia, quibus Cardanus addit Tanaim in Moscouia: Et qua in Asculapij fonte Athenis immersa sunt, in Phaletico reddi. Et Seneca scribit esse flumina, qua in specum aliquem subterraneum demissa, ex hominum oculis se subducunt, qua consumi paulatim & intercidere constet:
