weight_n of_o the_o lead_n b_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o can_v counterpoise_v both_o see_v the_o water_n be_v now_o 12_o and_z b_o 18._o it_o must_v then_o either_o be_v the_o counterbalance_n of_o the_o water_n or_o the_o counterbalance_n of_o the_o lead_n it_o can_v be_v the_o first_o because_o 12_o can_v be_v in_o aequipondio_n with_o 18_o it_o must_v then_o be_v in_o the_o second_o or_o if_o these_o 18_o ounce_n in_o the_o scale_n o_o be_v the_o counterpoise_n of_o the_o water_n within_o the_o glass_n i_o inquire_v what_o sustain_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o lead_n b_o the_o weight_n of_o it_o can_v be_v sustain_v by_o the_o water_n because_o it_o be_v a_o body_n natural_o heavy_a than_o water_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v sustain_v by_o the_o balance_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o specious_a objection_n seem_v for_o it_o be_v somewhat_o obscure_o word_v to_o be_v found_v upon_o a_o mistake_n of_o my_o meaning_n in_o the_o question_n however_o as_o to_o the_o phaenomenon_n itself_o according_a to_o my_o sense_n the_o 18_o ounce_n in_o the_o scale_n o_o be_v the_o counterpoise_n of_o the_o 18_o ounce_n that_o hang_v from_o the_o opposite_a and_o aequidistant_a scale_n and_o make_v up_o the_o leaden_a plummet_n b_o which_o answer_n i_o see_v not_o how_o our_o author_n prevent_v but_o than_o you_o will_v ask_v what_o counterpoise_n the_o water_n in_o the_o bubble_n which_o alone_o weigh_v 12_o ounce_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v the_o gravitation_n of_o the_o collateral_a water_n which_o press_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o late_o mention_v imaginary_a plane_n as_o much_o as_o the_o water_n in_o the_o bubble_n the_o weight_n of_o the_o glass_n be_v here_o not_o reckon_v by_o either_o of_o we_o and_o the_o water_n incumbent_a on_o the_o bubble_n do_v press_v that_o part_n of_o the_o plane_n on_o which_o they_o lean_v so_o that_o there_o be_v in_o all_o 30_o ounce_n to_o be_v sustain_v the_o 18_o of_o the_o plummet_n and_o the_o 12_o contain_v in_o the_o glass_n the_o lead_n that_o hang_v in_o the_o water_n be_v counterpoise_v by_o 18_o ounce_n in_o the_o scale_n and_o the_o water_n in_o the_o bubble_n by_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o collateral_a water_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o the_o include_v water_n press_v at_o all_o since_o it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o descend_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o water_n be_v get_v into_o the_o cavity_n of_o the_o bubble_n so_o long_o it_o do_v manifest_o gravitate_fw-la upon_o the_o subjacent_a plane_n and_o actual_o descend_v raise_v the_o counterpoise_n in_o the_o scale_n but_o when_o by_o add_v more_o weight_n to_o that_o counterpoise_n thing_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o new_a aequilibrium_fw-la there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o gravitation_n of_o the_o water_n shall_v again_o change_v the_o now_o regain_v aequipondium_fw-la suppose_v in_o the_o two_o scale_n of_o a_o balance_n there_o be_v place_v two_o equal_o capacious_a and_o equiponderant_a vial_n whereof_o one_o be_v quite_o full_a and_o the_o other_o almost_o full_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o full_a vessel_n will_v keep_v the_o scale_n it_o lean_v upon_o depress_v and_o if_o you_o gentle_o pour_v in_o as_o much_o water_n into_o the_o unfilled_a as_o the_o fill_v have_v more_o than_o it_o the_o scale_n that_o be_v former_o keep_v raise_v will_v be_v now_o depress_v till_o the_o beam_n be_v bring_v to_o be_v horizontal_a to_o which_o posture_n when_o it_o be_v once_o bring_v the_o aequilibrium_fw-la will_v continue_v and_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v say_v that_o though_o the_o add_v water_n whilst_o it_o be_v fill_v the_o glass_n depress_v the_o scale_n it_o belong_v to_o yet_o it_o lose_v its_o weight_n or_o which_o in_o my_o sense_n be_v all_o one_o do_v not_o gravitate_fw-la upon_o the_o scale_n when_o the_o balance_n be_v come_v to_o a_o aequilibrium_fw-la because_o then_o this_o water_n do_v no_o long_o depress_v it_o and_o how_o much_o the_o water_n in_o our_o bubble_n do_v notwithstanding_o its_o immersion_n gravitate_fw-la will_v be_v visible_a if_o by_o supposition_n it_o be_v all_o annihilate_v and_o no_o other_o suffer_v to_o supply_v its_o room_n for_o then_o the_o subjacent_a part_n of_o the_o imaginary_a plane_n be_v much_o less_o press_v than_o immediate_o before_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o collateral_o superior_a water_n will_v strong_o impel_v up_o the_o bubble_n if_o it_o be_v not_o keep_v in_o its_o place_n by_o a_o proportionable_a addition_n of_o weight_n to_o the_o plummet_n nor_o shall_v it_o seem_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o 30_o ounce_n late_o mention_v shall_v be_v counterballance_v partly_o by_o the_o weight_n in_o the_o opposite_a scale_n and_o partly_o by_o the_o water_n that_o fill_v the_o immersed_a bubble_n since_o this_o notion_n may_v be_v warrant_v even_o by_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o weigh_v heavy_a solid_n hydrostatical_o for_o if_o you_o will_v for_o instance_n weigh_v a_o lump_n of_o copper_n of_o 9_o pound_n in_o common_a water_n the_o metal_n hang_v by_o a_o horsehair_n under_o water_n will_v need_v according_a to_o my_o elsewhere_o mention_a experiment_n either_o just_a or_o near_o about_o 8_o pound_n in_o the_o opposite_a scale_n to_o keep_v the_o balance_n horizontal_a so_o that_o the_o whole_a 9_o pound_n that_o the_o lump_n weigh_v in_o the_o air_n be_v counterpoise_v partly_o by_o the_o 8_o pound_n new_o mention_v in_o the_o opposite_a scale_n and_o partly_o by_o the_o weight_n or_o resistance_n follow_v from_o weight_n of_o as_o much_o of_o the_o water_n as_o the_o copper_n fill_v the_o room_n of_o which_o as_o experience_n show_v be_v one_o pound_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v conceive_v water_n in_o a_o vessel_n adiaphorous_a as_o to_o gravity_n and_o levity_n to_o be_v substitute_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o metalline_a lump_n it_o will_v weigh_v as_o much_o as_o the_o nine_o part_n of_o the_o copper-lump_n weigh_v in_o the_o air_n and_o the_o same_o counterpoise_n of_o eight_o pound_n will_v maintain_v the_o aequilibrium_fw-la what_o the_o learned_a objector_n have_v at_o the_o close_a of_o his_o discourse_n about_o the_o natural_a and_o artificial_a balance_n can_v not_o without_o prolixity_n and_o be_v not_o here_o necessary_a to_o be_v dwell_v upon_o especial_o since_o you_o will_v see_v in_o what_o i_o suppose_v you_o have_v now_o receive_v from_o the_o press_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o ingenious_a doctor_n more_o what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v on_o that_o subject_a according_a to_o my_o hypothesis_n wherefore_o though_o my_o learned_a adversary_n do_v in_o the_o 152._o page_n conclude_v that_o water_n can_v weigh_v in_o water_n and_o assert_n that_o the_o pressure_n of_o water_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o water_n to_o weigh_v in_o water_n be_v another_o yet_o as_o i_o say_v at_o first_o i_o conceive_v much_o of_o our_o difference_n may_v be_v verbal_a and_o in_o my_o sense_n when_o water_n press_v subjacent_a water_n because_o it_o do_v so_o upon_o the_o score_n of_o its_o gravity_n it_o gravitates_fw-la in_o water_n though_o it_o do_v not_o pregravitate_fw-la that_o be_v actual_o descend_v and_o since_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o last_o expression_n that_o our_o author_n if_o i_o mistake_v he_o not_o speak_v of_o weigh_v in_o water_n his_o conclusion_n that_o water_n can_v weigh_v in_o water_n do_v not_o contradict_v i_o who_o affirm_v not_o that_o water_n do_v so_o weigh_v in_o water_n whether_o we_o shall_v agree_v in_o all_o other_o point_n of_o hydrostaticks_n you_o will_v easy_o believe_v that_o i_o can_v yet_o tell_v though_o by_o the_o expression_n he_o be_v please_v to_o use_v in_o the_o 146._o page_n to_o usher_v in_o his_o objection_n with_o it_o be_v probable_a we_o may_v and_o as_o to_o the_o now_o dispatch_v debate_n if_o i_o have_v employ_v some_o word_n in_o another_o sense_n than_o he_o i_o presume_v he_o be_v so_o equitable_a as_o to_o consider_v that_o i_o do_v not_o write_v of_o these_o thing_n after_o have_v see_v this_o book_n of_o he_o but_o some_o year_n before_o and_o have_v since_o find_v those_o expression_n justify_v by_o the_o use_n that_o eminent_a writer_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o make_v of_o they_o and_o however_o i_o be_o glad_a that_o he_o have_v give_v i_o this_o opportunity_n of_o clear_v my_o experiment_n and_o declare_v by_o example_n as_o well_o as_o word_n the_o opinion_n it_o relate_v to_o especial_o if_o it_o seem_v to_o other_o that_o i_o omit_v to_o express_v myself_o so_o full_o my_o design_n be_v as_o i_o former_o tell_v you_o to_o convince_v such_o adversary_n as_o i_o then_o have_v meet_v with_o by_o show_v that_o the_o above-recited_n phaenomena_n of_o the_o emersion_n and_o sink_v of_o a_o glass-vial_n depend_v upon_o
