A60282 Natural philosophy improven by new experiments touching the mercurial weather-glass, the hygroscope, eclipsis, conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter, by new experiments, touching the pressure of fluids, the diving-bell, and all the curiosities thereof : to which is added some new observations, and experiments, lately made of several kinds : together with a true relation of an evil spirit, which troubled a mans family for many days : lastly, there is a large discourse anent coal, coal-sinks, dipps, risings, and streeks of coal, levels running of mines, gaes, dykes, damps, and wild-fire / by G.S. Sinclair, George, d. 1696. 1683 (1683) Wing S3855; ESTC R15622 205,371 320

down_o by_o degree_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o phenomenon_n be_v not_o cold_a as_o some_o may_v judge_v but_o the_o strong_a bensil_n of_o the_o air_n within_o the_o ark_n that_o so_o press_v upon_o

that_o in_o water_n there_o be_v a_o pressure_n namely_o from_o the_o strong_a bensil_n of_o the_o air_n within_o the_o ark_n that_o grow_v strong_a and_o strong_a as_o the_o water_n grow_v deep_a and_o deep_o we_o see_v next_o that_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o water_n have_v a_o increment_n because_o the_o further_a down_o the_o ark_n go_v the_o air_n be_v the_o more_o bend_a three_o two_o fluid_n can_v be_v contiguous_a one_o to_o another_o unless_o both_o of_o they_o be_v under_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o pressure_n because_o the_o air_n of_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o water_n that_o

be_v uniform_a because_o the_o air_n of_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o water_n without_o press_v most_o equal_o one_o against_o the_o other_o five_o the_o more_o that_o the_o air_n be_v bend_v it_o be_v the_o more_o difficult_a to_o bend_v it_o and_o consequent_o that_o the_o diminution_n of_o the_o quantity_n be_v according_a to_o unequal_a proportion_n six_o that_o when_o the_o ark_n be_v down_o 34_o foot_n the_o bensil_n of_o the_o air_n be_v double_v and_o tripled_a when_o it_o be_v down_o 68_o foot_n because_o the_o pressure_n of_o 34_o foot_n of_o water_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o
