Science Quotes by Edward Jordan (1)
[The] seminary spirit of minerals hath its proper wombs where it resides, and is like a Prince or Emperour, whose prescripts both Elements and matter must obey; and it is never idle, but always in action, producing and maintaining natural substances, untill they have fulfilled their destiny.
— Edward Jordan
A Discourse of Natural Bathes, and Mineral Waters (1669), 104.
