degree_n of_o weight_n the_o water_n press_v up_o the_o air_n with_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o force_n and_o power_n do_v the_o air_n press_v down_o the_o water_n if_o this_o be_v not_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o go_v down_o because_o of_o pain_n for_o when_o one_o part_n of_o a_o man_n body_n be_v less_o press_v than_o another_o there_o arise_v a_o considerable_a pain_n which_o sometime_o be_v intolerable_a as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o application_n of_o ventoso-glass_n this_o equality_n of_o weight_n be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o respiration_n be_v so_o easy_a yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o a_o man_n can_v breathe_v so_o easy_o in_o the_o ark_n under_o the_o water_n as_o above_o in_o the_o air_n not_o because_o there_o be_v any_o inequality_n between_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o force_n of_o the_o air_n but_o only_o because_o the_o quantity_n of_o it_o be_v little_a for_o when_o a_o man_n suck_v in_o as_o

the_o same_o air_n again_o the_o quantity_n be_v increase_v if_o this_o be_v than_o the_o water_n must_v subside_o a_o little_a both_o which_o can_v be_v without_o difficulty_n see_v there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o ebb_a and_o flow_v both_o of_o the_o air_n and_o of_o the_o water_n in_o every_o respiration_n but_o it_o rather_o seem_v you_o say_v that_o this_o difficulty_n flow_v from_o the_o strong_a extraordinary_a bensil_n that_o the_o air_n be_v under_o i_o answer_v as_o long_o as_o the_o pressure_n of_o a_o fluid_a be_v uniform_a though_o in_o a_o high_a degree_n yet_o there_o can_v be_v no_o trouble_n in_o respiration_n because_o with_o what_o force_n soever_o it_o be_v drive_v in_o upon_o the_o lung_n with_o the_o same_o force_n it_o be_v drive_v out_o again_o therefore_o though_o the_o air_n we_o live_v in_o be_v as_o much_o again_o bend_a as_o it_o be_v yet_o as_o be_v probable_a we_o will_v find_v no_o more_o difficulty_n in_o breathe_v than_o now_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n make_v breathe_v easy_a under_o the_o water_n in_o the_o ark_n namely_o this_o when_o a_o man_n suck_v in_o the_o air_n to_o his_o lung_n his_o breast_n and_o belly_n go_v out_o and_o so_o fill_v the_o space_n desert_v by_o the_o air_n that_o go_v in_o this_o make_v the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v far_o less_o from_o this_o equality_n of_o weight_n between_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o air_n we_o see_v good_a ground_n to_o say_v that_o though_o the_o ark_n be_v no_o thick_a in_o the_o side_n than_o a_o thin_a saw_v dale_n yet_o there_o will_v be_v no_o hazard_n of_o break_v i_o be_o confident_a though_o it_o be_v no_o strong_a in_o the_o side_n than_o a_o wine-glass_n that_o be_v soon_o break_v yet_o it_o may_v go_v down_o 40_o fathom_n without_o hazard_n or_o danger_n of_o burst_v this_o afford_v good_a ground_n likewise_o to_o make_v window_n in_o the_o ark_n cover_v with_o glass_n for_o if_o the_o pressure_n be_v uniform_a and_o equal_a its_o impossible_a they_o can_v be_v break_v the_o water_n can_v thrust_v they_o inward_a because_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o air_n be_v as_o able_a to_o thrust_v they_o outward_a it_o be_v certain_a the_o more_o air_n be_v in_o the_o ark_n the_o more_o easy_a be_v respiration_n therefore_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o breath_n when_o the_o ark_n be_v but_o down_o 5_o

for_o though_o the_o whole_a mouth_n of_o the_o ark_n be_v shut_v up_o except_o as_o much_o passage_n as_o will_v receive_v a_o man_n fist_n yet_o it_o will_v operate_v as_o well_o that_o way_n as_o

subside_n and_o settle_v down_o more_o and_o more_o towards_o the_o mouth_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o the_o further_o up_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o water_n be_v the_o less_o and_o therefore_o the_o contract_a air_n get_v liberty_n to_o expand_v and_o dilate_v itself_o and_o so_o thrust_v down_o the_o water_n from_o p_o q_o to_o l_o m._n in_o a_o word_n by_o what_o proportion_n the_o air_n be_v contract_v in_o go_v down_o by_o that_o same_o proportion_n it_o dilate_v and_o open_v itself_o in_o come_v up_o this_o let_v we_o see_v as_o there_o be_v disadvantage_n in_o go_v

the_o cause_n why_o the_o air_n be_v contract_v in_o the_o ark_n such_o be_v those_o who_o deny_v the_o pressure_n of_o it_o but_o this_o fancy_n be_v easy_o refute_v because_o in_o assert_v this_o they_o must_v maintain_v the_o further_o down_o the_o cold_a be_v the_o great_a if_o this_o be_v then_o far_o more_o air_n must_v be_v contract_v in_o go_v down_o from_o 10_o to_o 15_o fathom_n than_o in_o pass_v from_o 5_o to_o 10_o see_v as_o they_o say_v the_o further_o down_o the_o cold_a be_v the_o great_a and_o therefore_o
place_n this_o be_v evident_a because_o the_o stone_n be_v 10_o pound_n light_a in_o water_n than_o in_o the_o air_n because_o the_o water_n that_o will_v fill_v the_o room_n of_o the_o stone_n be_v

the_o other_o for_o this_o cause_n i_o except_v air._n for_o though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o light_a in_o respect_n of_o water_n yet_o if_o they_o have_v any_o considerable_a gravity_n with_o they_o they_o will_v make_v the_o water_n heavy_a they_o be_v among_o put_v the_o case_n the_o body_n be_v a_o cube_n of_o timber_n of_o six_o inch_n weigh_v sixteen_o ounce_n and_o that_o a_o cube_n of_o

the_o middle_n of_o water_n as_o the_o bladder_n do_v it_o will_v make_v it_o 16_o ounce_n heavy_a the_o reason_n be_v this_o these_o 16_o ounce_n be_v either_o support_v by_o a_o surface_n of_o

though_o a_o body_n natural_o light_a than_o water_n as_o cork_n may_v be_v say_v to_o weigh_v in_o water_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o make_v it_o heavy_a in_o which_o sense_n water_n weigh_v in_o
