Aqua enim (ut sanctus Basilius dicit) fervidam qualitatem recipit, cum per certa quaedam metalla transcurrit, et fit non solum calida, sed et ardens.
For water (as  Saint Basil writeth), running through certain metals, receiveth thereof such virtue of heat, that it is not only made warm thereby but also scalding hot.
