harsh_a a_o opinion_n of_o a_o gentleman_n who_o way_n of_o writing_n even_o in_o his_o private_a letter_n tempt_v i_o very_o little_a to_o it_o because_o i_o can_v think_v he_o a_o atheist_n and_o

the_o sucker_n in_o the_o air-pump_n of_o our_o engine_n have_v be_v forcible_o depress_v to_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o brass_n cylinder_n which_o yet_o be_v careful_o close_v at_o the_o top_n so_o that_o the_o cavity_n of_o the_o cylinder_n be_v empty_v of_o air_n this_o sucker_n i_o say_v will_v in_o this_o case_n appear_v spontaneous_o to_o remount_v towards_o the_o top_n of_o the_o cylinder_n though_o it_o be_v clog_v with_o a_o hundred_o pound_n weight_n to_o hinder_v its_o ascent_n which_o phaenomenon_n i_o ascribe_v to_o this_o that_o the_o sucker_n be_v by_o the_o withdraw_n of_o the_o air_n in_o the_o cylinder_n free_v from_o the_o wont_a force_n of_o the_o springy_a air_n that_o endeavour_v to_o depress_v the_o internal_a part_n of_o it_o be_v not_o enable_v by_o the_o

teach_v we_o that_o the_o corporeal_a cause_n if_o there_o be_v any_o of_o the_o ascent_n of_o the_o sucker_n must_v be_v either_o in_o the_o sucker_n itself_o or_o in_o the_o almost_o exhaust_a

will_v be_v give_v of_o it_o congruous_o to_o his_o own_o sentiment_n by_o the_o learned_a regius_n these_o discourse_n i_o say_v of_o the_o doctor_n i_o leave_v untouched_a because_o it_o be_v at_o

be_v that_o as_o water_n be_v a_o heavy_a fluid_fw-la so_o it_o do_v retain_v its_o gravitation_n and_o power_n of_o press_v by_o which_o i_o mean_v a_o tendency_n downward_o whatever_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o gravity_n be_v whether_o it_o have_v under_o it_o a_o body_n either_o specifical_o heavy_a or_o light_a than_o itself_o or_o equiponderant_a to_o it_o for_o i_o see_v not_o what_o shall_v destroy_v or_o abolish_v this_o gravity_n though_o many_o thing_n may_v hinder_v some_o effect_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o suppose_v that_o water_n retain_v its_o gravity_n not_o only_o in_o air_n but_o in_o water_n too_o and_o in_o heavy_a liquor_n and_o consequent_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o the_o liquor_n press_v upon_o they_o but_o if_o a_o surround_v fluid_a have_v upon_o the_o

keep_v it_o from_o actual_o descend_v so_o that_o a_o portion_n of_o water_n suppose_v to_o be_v include_v in_o a_o vessel_n of_o the_o same_o specific_a weight_n with_o water_n this_o portion_n i_o

this_o gravity_n be_v keep_v from_o make_v it_o actual_o descend_v by_o the_o contrary_a action_n of_o the_o other_o water_n who_o specific_a gravity_n be_v suppose_v equal_a as_o when_o a_o just_a

though_o it_o do_v not_o actual_o depress_v it_o or_o as_o perhaps_o a_o school-man_n will_v phrase_n it_o do_v gravitate_fw-la on_o it_o but_o not_o pregravitate_fw-la nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o
