they_o allege_v that_o the_o intendment_n thereof_o at_o first_o be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o the_o tendency_n of_o a_o heavy_a body_n be_v to_o the_o earth_n centre_n when_o there_o it_o be_v its_o heaviness_n if_o not_o otherwise_o press_v will_v not_o endeavour_v any_o further_a motion_n for_o to_o move_v further_o be_v to_o move_v from_o the_o centre_n and_o according_o if_o the_o tendency_n of_o any_o other_o body_n be_v to_o a_o certain_a place_n as_o its_o term_n when_o there_o it_o be_v that_o principle_n will_v not_o endeavour_v a_o motion_n from_o thence_o for_o so_o to_o do_v be_v to_o move_v contrary_a to_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o if_o it_o be_v carry_v further_o it_o must_v be_v from_o some_o other_o cause_n as_o when_o a_o pendulum_n swing_v beyond_o the_o perpendicular_a it_o be_v not_o from_o weight_n simple_o consider_v which_o will_v there_o have_v stay_v but_o from_o a_o impetus_fw-la imnpress_v by_o a_o precedent_a motion_n and_o thus_o far_o that_o principle_n be_v just_a and_o good_a but_o the_o objection_n pervert_v it_o to_o a_o sense_n never_o intend_v by_o the_o first_o introducer_n next_o i_o will_v ask_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o water_n own_o place_n and_o particular_o whether_o water_n in_o a_o pond_n artificial_o contrive_v on_o the_o top_n of_o a_o tower_n be_v in_o its_o own_o place_n if_o so_o then_o though_o a_o hole_n be_v in_o the_o bottom_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o run_v out_o if_o not_o in_o its_o own_o place_n than_o the_o reason_n fail_v for_o even_o there_o a_o diver_n shall_v no_o more_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o water_n than_o if_o in_o the_o thames_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o its_o be_v in_o its_o own_o place_n but_o somewhat_o else_o that_o make_v the_o weight_n not_o to_o be_v feel_v to_o avoid_v this_o therefore_o and_o the_o like_a instance_n they_o now_o explain_v their_o meaning_n to_o be_v that_o it_o do_v not_o gravitate_fw-la on_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o specifical_o light_a than_o itself_o and_o to_o this_o explication_n it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v to_o apply_v our_o answer_n but_o neither_o will_v this_o hold_v for_o it_o be_v manifest_a to_o use_v a_o ordinary_a instance_n that_o a_o vessel_n pierce_v near_o the_o bottom_n in_o fig._n 12_o 13._o will_v run_v with_o a_o full_a and_o strong_a stream_n than_o if_o at_o the_o middle_n or_o near_o the_o top_n and_o more_o when_o it_o be_v full_a than_o when_o half_o out_o or_o almost_o empty_a which_o argue_v a_o pressure_n of_o the_o upper_a part_n upon_o those_o near_o the_o vent_n and_o to_o say_v they_o press_v not_o on_o the_o intermediate_v part_n but_o only_o on_o the_o air_n without_o be_v a_o mere_a evasion_n for_o the_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o water_n can_v press_v that_o air_n but_o by_o press_v that_o which_o be_v between_o like_v as_o in_o a_o crowd_n he_o that_o be_v at_o a_o distance_n can_v thrust_v he_o that_o be_v at_o the_o door_n but_o by_o thrust_v those_o that_o be_v between_o and_o with_o a_o pole_n we_o can_v thrust_v that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o but_o by_o thrust_v the_o pole_n nor_o with_o a_o rope_n draw_v that_o which_o be_v fasten_v to_o it_o but_o by_o draw_v the_o rope_n where_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o signal_n difference_n between_o trusion_n and_o traction_n in_o trusion_n it_o suffice_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v contiguous_a though_o there_o be_v no_o connexion_n but_o in_o traction_n there_o must_v be_v a_o connexion_n and_o that_o strong_a enough_o else_o the_o string_n will_v break_v and_o the_o weight_n not_o follow_v and_o though_o a_o heap_n of_o sand_n will_v suffice_v to_o press_v down_o the_o scale_n yet_o a_o rope_n of_o sand_n will_v not_o serve_v to_o draw_v it_o up_o and_o therefore_o mr._n line_n be_v funiculus_fw-la in_o his_o explication_n of_o the_o torricellian_a experiment_n must_v have_v somewhat_o of_o texture_n as_o well_o as_o contiguity_n to_o give_v it_o strength_n without_o which_o it_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o sustain_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o suspend_v quicksilver_n but_o certain_o if_o the_o part_n of_o a_o fluid_a be_v able_a to_o draw_v one_o another_o much_o more_o will_v they_o be_v able_a to_o thrust_v one_o another_o that_o be_v the_o one_o to_o gravitate_fw-la upon_o the_o other_o it_o be_v therefore_o much_o more_o conceivable_a in_o the_o invert_v syphon_n how_o the_o water_n at_o a_o fig._n 9_o shall_v thrust_v up_o that_o at_o b_o than_o how_o the_o air_n at_o e_z ascend_v shall_v draw_v up_o the_o water_n at_o b_o and_o thereby_o draw_v down_o that_o at_o a._n for_o in_o the_o first_o case_n there_o needs_o only_o a_o contiguity_n in_o the_o latter_a there_o must_v be_v a_o connexion_n of_o all_o the_o part_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v allow_v that_o mr._n line_n be_v funiculus_fw-la or_o rope_n of_o sands_n if_o grant_v will_v equal_o solve_v the_o phaenomenon_n by_o way_n of_o traction_n yet_o since_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o trusion_n as_o be_v acknowledge_v will_v do_v it_o also_o it_o be_v much_o rather_o to_o be_v choose_v than_o that_o of_o traction_n by_o a_o rope_n of_o sands_z shall_v i_o call_v it_o or_o a_o rope_n of_o nothing_o but_o further_a it_o be_v confess_v by_o a_o very_a learned_a author_n the_o author_n of_o two_o treatise_n the_o one_o entitle_v a_o essay_n touch_v the_o gravitation_n or_o non-gravitation_a of_o fluid_a body_n the_o other_o observation_n touch_v the_o torricellian_a experiment_n who_o be_v please_v to_o conceal_v his_o name_n that_o defend_v the_o funiculus_fw-la and_o deny_v our_o hypothesis_n that_o not_o only_a water_n but_o even_o oil_n in_o the_o pipe_n a_o fig._n 5._o will_v force_v up_o the_o water_n at_o b_o and_o if_o the_o pipe_n be_v empty_a oil_n be_v pour_v on_o b_o it_o will_v force_v up_o water_n into_o the_o pipe_n a_o not_o to_o a_o level_n but_o to_o a_o equipois_n that_o be_v as_o his_o own_o word_n be_v to_o such_o a_o proportion_n of_o height_n in_o the_o tube_n as_o will_v countervail_v the_o weight_n of_o a_o like_o cylinder_n of_o oil_n and_o give_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o it_o that_o we_o do_v the_o disparity_n of_o pressure_n cause_v motion_n or_o elevation_n of_o the_o water_n in_o that_o part_n nor_o equal_o press_v so_o that_o here_o a_o light_a body_n do_v gravitate_fw-la on_o a_o heavy_a oil_n upon_o water_n and_o that_o not_o only_a ad_fw-la pondus_fw-la but_o ad_fw-la motum_fw-la as_o himself_o admit_v that_o be_v in_o our_o language_n it_o do_v not_o only_a gravitate_fw-la but_o pregravitate_fw-la not_o only_o weigh_v but_o outweigh_v so_o that_o here_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o fluid_n not_o gravitate_v on_o a_o heavy_a than_o itself_o or_o one_o as_o heavy_a be_v quite_o

because_o specifical_o light_a will_v be_v somewhat_o high_a than_o that_o of_o the_o water_n within_o it_o and_o just_o so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v up_o the_o equipois_n and_o contrariwise_a if_o

without_o any_o respect_n have_v to_o the_o specific_a gravity_n or_o levity_n and_o a_o ship_n lade_v fig._n 8._o will_v draw_v just_a as_o much_o water_n if_o lade_v with_o so_o many_o hundred_o weight_n of_o timber_n as_o with_o so_o many_o hundred_o weight_n of_o lead_n though_o that_o be_v light_a and_o this_o heavy_a than_o a_o like_a quantity_n of_o water_n and_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n
