A28956	A defence of the doctrine touching the spring and weight of the air propos'd by Mr. R. Boyle in his new physico-mechanical experiments, against the objections of Franciscus Linus ; wherewith the objector's funicular hypothesis is also examin'd, by the author of those experiments.	Boyle, Robert, 1627-1691.; Sharrock, Robert, 1630-1684.	1662 (1662)	Wing B3941; ESTC R26549	92,713	134
