Of Fire and Moisture.
If Hay be not quite dry, but stack'd up wet,That Moisture will in time a Fire beget;
21
But we have none, that from Fire Moisture flows;
Besides it shews Fire in it self is free,
No other Element in it can be:
For Fire is pure, and still doth keep the same;
Where oyly Moisture's not, no Fire can flame.
