since_o that_o as_o trial_n may_v easy_o satisfy_v you_o will_v not_o have_v suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v thrust_v into_o so_o narrow_a a_o room_n by_o so_o weak_a a_o pressure_n so_o that_o although_o

for_o if_o we_o shall_v suppose_v that_o desert_a part_n of_o the_o tube_n perfect_o devoid_a of_o air_n yet_o will_v the_o quicksilver_n rise_v but_o a_o little_a high_o in_o it_o and_o be_v far_o

that_o if_o all_o the_o air_n in_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o weatherglass_n be_v away_o the_o water_n will_v be_v impel_v up_o to_o the_o very_a top_n of_o it_o though_o the_o pipe_n be_v

for_o the_o experiment_n that_o occasion_v this_o discourse_n seem_v to_o make_v it_o probable_a enough_o that_o there_o may_v be_v strange_a ebb_n and_o flow_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o atmosphere_n

they_o common_o use_v some_o manifest_a endeavour_n by_o a_o peculiar_a motion_n of_o their_o mouth_n chest_n and_o some_o other_o conspire_v part_n to_o convey_v to_o they_o the_o body_n to_o be_v

suck_a body_n but_o in_o our_o last_o experiment_n it_o appear_v not_o at_o all_o how_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o empty_v cylinder_n that_o remain_v moveless_a all_o the_o while_n or_o any_o

without_o serious_o consider_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o do_v ready_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v raise_v by_o something_o that_o powerful_o suck_v or_o attract_v it_o though_o they_o see_v not_o what_o that_o may_v be_v or_o where_o it_o lurk_v so_o that_o it_o seem_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o suction_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o body_n which_o be_v say_v to_o suck_v a_o endeavour_n or_o

the_o water_n will_v run_v down_o at_o the_o wide_a orifice_n yet_o that_o seem_v to_o happen_v for_o some_o other_o reason_n than_o because_o the_o air_n succeed_v it_o at_o the_o upper_a and_o
