A48262	Mathematicall recreations. Or, A collection of many problemes, extracted out of the ancient and modern philosophers as secrets and experiments in arithmetick, geometry, cosmographie, horologiographie, astronomie, navigation, musick, opticks, architecture, statick, mechanicks, chemistry, water-works, fire-works, &c. Not vulgarly manifest till now. Written first in Greeke and Latin, lately compi'ld in French, by Henry Van Etten, and now in English, with the examinations and augmentations of divers modern mathematicians whereunto is added the description and use of the generall horologicall ring: and the double horizontall diall. Invented and written by William Oughtred.; Récréation mathématique. English.	Oughtred, William, 1575-1660. aut	1653 (1653)	Wing L1790; ESTC R217635	140,825	339

second_o how_o to_o know_v what_o wine_n or_o other_o liquor_n there_o be_v in_o a_o vessel_n without_o open_v the_o bunghole_n and_o without_o make_v any_o other_o hole_n than_o that_o by_o which_o

may_v fill_v the_o vessel_n or_o put_v more_o into_o it_o and_o so_o if_o need_n be_v one_o may_v empty_v one_o vessel_n into_o another_o without_o open_v the_o bunghole_n 3._o three_o how_o be_v it_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o vessel_n hold_v more_o water_n be_v place_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o a_o mountain_n than_o stand_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o certain_a because_o that_o water_n and_o all_o other_o liquor_n dispose_v itself_o sphericaliy_v about_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o by_o how_o much_o the_o vessel_n be_v near_a the_o centre_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o water_n make_v a_o lesser_a sphere_n and_o therefore_o every_o part_n more_o gibbous_a or_o swell_a than_o the_o like_a part_n in_o a_o great_a sphere_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o same_o vessel_n be_v far_a from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o surface_n of_o the_o water_n make_v a_o great_a sphere_n and_o therefore_o less_o gibbous_a or_o swell_v over_o the_o vessel_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o a_o vessel_n near_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n hold_v more_o water_n than_o that_o which_o be_v far_o remote_a from_o it_o and_o so_o consequent_o a_o vessel_n place_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mountain_n hold_v more_o water_n than_o be_v place_v on_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n first_o therefore_o one_o may_v conclude_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o vessel_n will_v always_o hold_v more_o by_o how_o much_o it_o be_v near_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n second_o if_o a_o
