Stone 🪨 Pure Rock

I shall instance further in the Mechanick Arts, wherein if you compare the things our Artificers are ignorant of with those they know, the most excellent amongst them will confess himself very unskillful and ignorant; whereof the sole ancient Inventions now lost may serve for a proof. For in some Roman Monuments lately discover'd there have been found Lamps which burnt twelve or fifteen hundred years, and were not extinguifh'd but upon letting in of the Air; particularly in the Tomb of Tullia Cicero's Daughter at Padua. The invention of a perpetual Motion which animated Archimedes Sphear, dy'd with him; that of malleable Glass, with its Inventor, who was wretchedly slain by Tiberius; that of melting Stones or making artificial ones, or at least of transporting and managing them, whereby the Romans built those great Piles of Amphitheaters, and other Works inimitable by us, is not known at this day; yea, to go no further, the goodness of building with most of the materials of the Ancients is perifh'd with them. So that 'tis no wonder that at this day many of their Histories are accounted Fables; such as the teaching of an Elephant to Dance upon the Rope, which Suetonius affirms was seen in a Spectacle given to the Roman People; the care and industry of Men being much diminish'd in this lee of times, wherein they desire to obtain everything without pains. For the new Inventions of later Ages, as the Compass, Guns, Printing, Telescopes, and some others, were before Chance produc'd them, or at least gave some hints to their Inventors, in respect of us in the same Nothing wherein are all other possible things not yet effected. So that 'tis easie to conceive that there are infinite such secrets, or more excellent (as the Philosopher’s Stone, the Quadrature of the Circle, the Fountain without end, and many other things whereof we have only confused notions) which he that should know would be as much higher then all other men, as the Intelligences are above them. For Dæmons, whether good or bad produce none of their Marvels but by this Science of things to us unknown; whence we oft-times term that miraculous which is purely natural. As may appear by the few Secrets found in the hands of men, which make them admir'd by all others, and anciently advanc'd them to the rank of Gods.” @FoMaHun @JablonskyVik @BrianRoemmele
