though_o strong_a and_o subtle_a nor_o by_o the_o direct_o visible_a or_o odorable_a expiration_n of_o body_n though_o absolute_o speak_v it_o be_v pervious_a to_o some_o corporeal_a substance_n this_o proposition_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n we_o shall_v allow_v each_o of_o they_o its_o distinct_a proof_n and_o as_o for_o the_o first_o part_n it_o be_v manifest_o agreeable_a to_o the_o common_a experience_n of_o chemist_n who_o daily_o find_v that_o in_o well_o stop_v vial_n or_o at_o least_o in_o hermetical_o seal_v glass_n they_o can_v preserve_v their_o subtle_a and_o most_o pierce_a menstruum_n as_o spirit_n of_o nitre_n aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la spirit_n of_o salt_n spirit_n of_o vinegar_n and_o oil_n of_o vitriol_n and_o this_o they_o find_v to_o be_v true_a not_o only_o as_o to_o acid_n and_o corrosive_a liquor_n like_o those_o i_o have_v new_o name_v but_o also_o in_o those_o spirit_n that_o abound_v with_o fugitive_n salt_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o urine_n of_o blood_n and_o of_o salarmoniack_a and_o in_o the_o most_o subtle_a &_o high_o rectify_v spirit_n of_o wine_n as_o also_o in_o the_o ethereal_a oil_n or_o as_o many_o call_v it_o spirit_n of_o turpentine_n as_o likewise_o in_o the_o liquor_n of_o salt_n of_o tartar_n and_o other_o fix_a alcaly_n resolve_v by_o deliquium_fw-la the_o result_n of_o these_o observation_n may_v be_v much_o confirm_v by_o consider_v how_o often_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o distillation_n of_o more_o wild_a and_o fugitive_n spirit_n as_o of_o nitre_n tartar_n and_o sugar_n that_o though_o they_o be_v much_o agitate_a and_o perhaps_o subtilise_v by_o heat_n yet_o if_o the_o lute_n that_o join_v the_o receiver_n to_o the_o retort_n be_v very_o firm_a &_o close_o the_o receiver_n though_o large_a be_v often_o break_v in_o piece_n which_o probable_o will_v not_o happen_v if_o the_o spirit_n can_v insinuate_v &_o crowd_n themselves_o through_o the_o pore_n of_o glass_n but_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v pretend_v that_o such_o vessel_n be_v strong_a and_o thick_a i_o shall_v add_v that_o i_o have_v have_v the_o curiosity_n to_o cause_v very_o fine_a bubble_n to_o be_v blow_v at_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o lamp_n purposely_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v extreme_o thin_a and_o of_o but_o a_o small_a part_n of_o the_o thickness_n we_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o vessel_n make_v at_o the_o glass_n house_n and_o some_o of_o these_o i_o cause_v to_o be_v exact_o stop_v and_o other_o to_o be_v hermetical_o seal_v but_o can_v not_o find_v that_o either_o dry_a salt_n of_o tartar_n will_v relent_v in_o one_o that_o be_v keep_v a_o good_a while_n under_o water_n or_o that_o strong_a spirit_n of_o sal_fw-la ammoniac_a which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o subtle_a spirit_n that_o we_o know_v will_v penetrate_v one_o of_o these_o thin_a film_n of_o glass_n which_o we_o keep_v a_o great_a while_n immerse_v in_o it_o though_o to_o discover_v whether_o it_o will_v at_o all_o penetrate_v the_o thin_a glass_n we_o employ_v some_o which_o be_v of_o that_o fine_a sort_n that_o be_v call_v essence_n vial_n these_o and_o some_o other_o trial_n have_v i_o confess_v make_v i_o very_o diffident_a of_o the_o experiment_n that_o have_v be_v deliver_v by_o some_o man_n of_o note_n and_o build_v upon_o by_o other_o of_o the_o permeableness_n of_o ordinary_a glass_n vessel_n to_o chemical_a liquor_n as_o that_o mercury_n and_o aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la be_v digest_v together_o in_o a_o bolt-head_n may_v by_o rub_v the_o outside_n of_o the_o glass_n be_v make_v visible_o and_o palpable_o to_o transudate_v which_o experiment_n if_o my_o memory_n do_v not_o much_o deceive_v i_o i_o purposely_o try_v with_o care_n but_o without_o success_n but_o after_o all_o this_o i_o must_v desire_v that_o it_o may_v be_v remember_v that_o in_o word_v the_o proposition_n of_o the_o imperviousness_n of_o glass_n i_o intimate_v that_o i_o will_v have_v it_o understand_v of_o what_o ordinary_o happen_v for_o in_o some_o extraordinary_a case_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v exceed_o rare_a i_o do_v not_o absolute_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o general_n rule_n may_v admit_v of_o exception_n and_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o conjecture_v these_o exception_n be_v likely_a to_o take_v place_n when_o the_o peculiar_a texture_n of_o this_o or_o that_o glass_n be_v more_o slight_a or_o lax_n than_o ordinary_a or_o when_o the_o body_n that_o be_v to_o pervade_v it_o be_v vehement_o agitate_a by_o heat_n or_o when_o beside_o a_o great_a subtlety_n and_o perhaps_o degree_n of_o heat_n too_o their_o particle_n chance_v to_o have_v a_o special_a congruity_n to_o the_o relaxed_a pore_n of_o that_o particular_a glass_n they_o be_v to_o pass_v through_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v see_v not_o without_o some_o wonder_n a_o sort_n of_o glass_n of_o so_o soft_a and_o resoluble_a a_o texture_n that_o vessel_n of_o it_o of_o a_o competent_a thickness_n will_v be_v manifest_o prejudice_v and_o wrought_v upon_o by_o liquor_n that_o be_v not_o considerable_o sharp_a or_o corrosive_n if_o they_o be_v put_v in_o very_o hot_a i_o have_v also_o hear_v of_o another_o sort_n of_o glass_n make_v in_o a_o certain_a forest_n complain_v of_o by_o a_o destiller_n as_o subject_a to_o be_v sometime_o injure_v by_o corrosive_a liquor_n i_o once_o know_v a_o doctor_n of_o physic_n that_o by_o divers_a credulous_a alchemist_n be_v suspect_v to_o have_v what_o they_o call_v the_o philosopher_n stone_n because_o of_o a_o certain_a book_n ingenious_a enough_o that_o he_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v write_v on_o that_o subject_n but_o when_o after_o some_o acquaintance_n i_o happen_v to_o debate_v his_o principle_n free_o with_o he_o he_o confess_v to_o i_o that_o he_o have_v be_v mistake_v and_o to_o invite_v i_o to_o give_v he_o my_o thought_n upon_o such_o like_a work_n he_o frank_o make_v i_o a_o ingenuous_a relation_n of_o his_o proceed_n wherein_o the_o main_a thing_n that_o dazzle_v he_o and_o keep_v he_o from_o see_v his_o error_n be_v that_o he_o have_v reduce_v the_o matter_n he_o wrought_v on_o which_o be_v real_a gold_n to_o that_o degree_n of_o fusibleness_n and_o subtlety_n that_o when_o he_o give_v too_o strong_a a_o fire_n as_o mistake_v or_o curiosity_n make_v he_o several_a time_n do_v the_o fine_a part_n of_o the_o metal_n will_v sweat_v through_o his_o glass_n and_o stick_v sometime_o to_o the_o outside_n of_o they_o and_o sometime_o to_o the_o neighbour_a body_n and_o when_o i_o object_v that_o he_o may_v be_v mistake_v in_o this_o and_o that_o what_o he_o think_v have_v come_v forth_o by_o transudation_n rather_o issue_v out_o at_o some_o small_a unheeded_a crack_n he_o reply_v that_o he_o have_v make_v the_o observation_n so_o often_o and_o with_o such_o care_n that_o he_o be_v full_o satisfy_v it_o be_v a_o real_a penetration_n of_o the_o glass_n by_o the_o attenuate_v metal_n which_o he_o be_v to_o have_v convince_v i_o of_o by_o trial_n but_o before_o he_o can_v come_v to_o make_v it_o by_o a_o error_n of_o his_o own_o he_o unhappy_o die_v but_o whatever_o be_v judge_v of_o this_o penetrate_a gold_n i_o elsewhere_o relate_v that_o i_o have_v upon_o a_o time_n distil_v spirit_n of_o hartshorn_n with_o a_o very_a strong_a fire_n into_o a_o receiver_n that_o be_v large_a and_o thick_a enough_o but_o of_o a_o course_n kind_n of_o glass_n it_o do_v appear_v upon_o my_o best_a examination_n that_o the_o glass_n itself_o be_v penetrate_v by_o some_o vehement_o agitate_a fume_n or_o some_o subtle_a liquor_n that_o settle_v in_o strong_o scent_v drop_n on_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o receiver_n but_o such_o instance_n be_v very_o rare_a and_o happen_v but_o in_o some_o case_n or_o conjuncture_n of_o circumstance_n that_o be_v not_o like_a to_o be_v at_o all_o frequent_a they_o can_v hinder_v the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o proposition_n to_o be_v true_a in_o the_o sense_n wherein_o it_o be_v lay_v down_o and_o as_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o proposition_n which_o assert_n glass_n to_o be_v pervious_a to_o some_o corporeal_a substance_n it_o may_v be_v prove_v ad_fw-la hominem_fw-la against_o any_o epicurean_a that_o shall_v deny_v it_o and_o the_o cartesian_o must_v not_o by_o the_o free_a ingress_n and_o egress_n which_o our_o seal_a thermoscope_n show_v that_o the_o atom_n or_o corpuscle_n of_o cold_a and_o heat_n be_v allow_v through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o glass_n that_o contain_v the_o rise_n or_o fall_v tincture_n or_o other_o liquor_n and_o without_o proceed_v upon_o the_o peculiar_a principle_n of_o the_o epicurean_o we_o may_v give_v more_o certain_a proof_n of_o the_o permeableness_n of_o glass_n by_o certain_a body_n for_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o manifest_o evince_v
