than_o once_o answer_v which_o i_o think_v be_v do_v in_o my_o observation_n upon_o remark_n 17_o etc._n etc._n then_o he_o proceed_v to_o the_o argument_n touch_v rarefaction_n and_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o the_o penetration_n of_o dimension_n and_o so_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v repugnancy_n in_o what_o be_v say_v by_o a_o problem_n that_o deserve_v more_o discussion_n than_o the_o argument_n in_o hand_n as_o have_v be_v show_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o book_n wherein_o i_o have_v nevertheless_o express_v my_o thought_n touch_v it_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o the_o remarker_n imagine_v or_o conceive_v against_o the_o cohesion_n of_o grosser_n body_n by_o the_o tension_n of_o light_a body_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o be_v evident_a to_o my_o sense_n and_o so_o may_v any_o that_o will_v give_v his_o sense_n leave_v free_o to_o determine_v without_o stifle_v they_o by_o notion_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v as_o plain_a a_o cohesion_n in_o the_o magdeburgh_n hemisphere_n yea_o and_o in_o the_o torricellian_a engine_n as_o there_o be_v between_o thing_n fasten_v each_o to_o other_o by_o a_o string_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v so_o over-ready_o change_v the_o conviction_n of_o my_o sense_n for_o a_o notion_n or_o conception_n assert_v and_o magnify_v but_o not_o prove_v but_o to_o infer_v that_o because_o water_n which_o be_v above_o 900_o time_n crasser_n than_o air_n be_v not_o compressible_a to_o a_o sensible_a small_a room_n by_o a_o great_a weight_n therefore_o a_o portion_n of_o subtle_a matter_n can_v be_v extract_v out_o of_o it_o or_o mercury_n with_o so_o small_a a_o weight_n as_o the_o mercurial_a cylinder_n or_o that_o the_o effluvia_fw-la of_o water_n or_o mercury_n which_o be_v as_o subtle_a as_o air_n can_v be_v expanded_a by_o a_o less_o weight_n than_o water_n compress_v into_o a_o sensible_a narrow_a room_n seem_v hard_a illation_n and_o very_o inconsequential_a for_o we_o see_v the_o heat_n of_o a_o man_n hand_n will_v expand_v air_n in_o weather-glass_n to_o near_a a_o double_a extension_n remark_n xxxiv_o i_o do_v prove_v the_o attraction_n of_o tensed_a body_n by_o the_o plain_a evidence_n of_o sense_n and_o i_o assign_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o continuity_n of_o the_o universe_n as_o the_o end_n thereof_o and_o the_o supreme_a efficient_a cause_n thereof_o to_o be_v the_o most_o wise_a and_o powerful_a creator_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o immediate_a effective_a cause_n that_o institute_v law_n that_o he_o have_v place_v in_o thing_n natural_a the_o immediate_a instrumental_a cause_n in_o many_o motion_n that_o be_v not_o primitive_a in_o their_o subject_n to_o be_v from_o the_o singular_a disposition_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o universe_n &_o their_o admirable_a mechanical_a adaptation_n each_o to_o other_o and_o as_o to_o the_o vicarious_a spirit_n of_o nature_n as_o a_o distinct_a incorporeal_a subsistence_n when_o the_o author_n have_v give_v we_o better_a proof_n thereof_o than_o the_o suspending_a of_o mercury_n in_o the_o torricellian_a experiment_n the_o drive_v up_o a_o rundle_n of_o light_a wood_n by_o the_o water_n and_o potentia_fw-la attractiva_fw-la of_o the_o embolus_fw-la of_o the_o air-pump_n and_o such_o like_a petty_a instance_n together_o with_o his_o bare_a notion_n touch_v it_o it_o may_v possible_o obtain_v a_o better_a entertainment_n than_o yet_o i_o find_v it_o do_v at_o least_o with_o i_o remark_n xxxv_o this_o instance_n in_o the_o bladder_n and_o cupping-glass_n be_v pass_v over_o in_o this_o remark_n very_o light_o and_o it_o be_v necessary_a so_o to_o be_v deal_v with_o because_o too_o troublesome_a to_o be_v explicate_v otherwise_o than_o by_o tension_n and_o attraction_n and_o it_o will_v require_v a_o admirable_a process_n in_o the_o hylarchical_a principle_n to_o effect_v this_o and_o some_o proof_n beside_o single_a notion_n and_o conception_n of_o such_o explication_n by_o such_o a_o principle_n remark_n xxxvi_o the_o instance_n here_o give_v have_v put_v the_o remarker_n to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n to_o find_v a_o solution_n for_o it_o and_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o for_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o attraction_n be_v confident_o say_v to_o be_v full_o confute_v though_o it_o be_v only_o so_o say_v but_o not_o so_o do_v but_o yet_o the_o hylarchical_a principle_n be_v at_o length_n furnish_v with_o a_o hylostatical_a libration_n and_o hylostatical_a power_n of_o union_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o water_n air_n and_o glass_n and_o at_o this_o rate_n i_o confess_v there_o will_v never_o want_v a_o ready_a solution_n to_o any_o difficulty_n for_o it_o be_v but_o assert_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o nature_n be_v furnish_v with_o that_o effectual_a power_n and_o the_o knot_n be_v untie_v or_o cut_v though_o there_o be_v not_o a_o syllable_n of_o proof_n offer_v for_o it_o but_o it_o be_v only_o graff_v on_o to_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o nature_n by_o the_o wit_n of_o the_o assertor_n to_o accommodate_v the_o hypothesis_n remark_n xxxvii_o i_o refer_v myself_o to_o what_o be_v say_v before_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o remark_n there_o need_v not_o be_v say_v more_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n imprint_v upon_o the_o nature_n of_o physical_a being_n by_o his_o almighty_a fiat_n and_o though_o as_o to_o particular_a being_n he_o have_v substitute_v particular_a active_a principle_n usual_o call_v essential_a and_o vital_a form_n yet_o as_o to_o the_o universe_n itself_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v too_o great_a a_o empire_n to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o vicariat_fw-la hand_n of_o that_o which_o be_v here_o call_v the_o spirit_n of_o nature_n the_o great_a god_n that_o give_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v sufficient_a without_o such_o a_o substitute_n and_o be_v only_o sufficient_a for_o the_o regiment_n of_o so_o great_a a_o empire_n and_o this_o may_v serve_v also_o to_o remark_n 38._o we_o be_v not_o dispute_v whether_o such_o a_o spirit_n of_o nature_n be_v possible_a to_o be_v but_o whether_o the_o facto_fw-la it_o be_v or_o not_o or_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v at_o least_o as_o to_o those_o motion_n which_o have_v so_o evident_a explication_n from_o other_o principle_n remark_n thirty-nine_o herein_o we_o differ_v not_o as_o to_o the_o reject_v of_o the_o great_a elasticity_n of_o the_o air._n remark_n xl._o i_o confess_v when_o i_o read_v the_o beginning_n of_o this_o remark_n i_o hope_v to_o meet_v with_o such_o a_o solution_n to_o the_o instance_n remark_v upon_o as_o will_v be_v close_a and_o clear_a because_o this_o instance_n bear_v so_o hard_a against_o most_o of_o what_o the_o remarker_n have_v before_o affirm_v but_o i_o be_v deceive_v herein_o in_o this_o instance_n of_o the_o magdeburg_n hemisphere_n these_o thing_n be_v most_o evident_a to_o any_o man_n sense_n 1._o that_o the_o include_v air_n be_v certain_o expanded_a and_o rarefy_a by_o the_o heat_n beyond_o its_o natural_a size_n 2._o that_o while_o they_o be_v so_o hot_a and_o the_o air_n so_o expanded_a and_o lax_n they_o do_v not_o at_o all_o cohere_v 3._o that_o as_o they_o grow_v cold_a they_o do_v most_o evident_o cohere_v so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v divulse_v without_o a_o considerable_a strength_n 4._o that_o most_o necessary_o as_o the_o include_v air_n grow_v cold_a and_o the_o heat_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o expansion_n decay_n so_o the_o air_n must_v needs_o endeavour_v its_o restitution_n to_o its_o natural_a dimension_n by_o contract_v itself_o inward_a to_o its_o natural_a size_n 5._o and_o yet_o if_o it_o have_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o heat_n as_o again_o give_v a_o more_o lax_n state_n to_o the_o include_v air_n the_o cohesion_n will_v cease_v and_o the_o hemisphere_n fall_v asunder_o 6._o and_o as_o the_o remarker_n confess_v and_o the_o most_o clear_a evidence_n of_o sense_n evince_v those_o phaenomena_n be_v not_o wrought_v nor_o indeed_o possible_a to_o be_v wrought_v either_o by_o the_o weight_n pressure_n or_o elasticity_n of_o the_o external_a air_n as_o the_o elaterist_n will_v have_v it_o the_o consequence_n of_o all_o which_o be_v that_o certain_o as_o far_o as_o sense_n can_v lead_v we_o the_o air_n be_v rarefy_v by_o the_o heat_n and_o as_o the_o heat_n decay_v the_o air_n endeavour_v its_o own_o contraction_n and_o there_o necessary_o follow_v even_o to_o our_o sense_n a_o attraction_n upon_o the_o side_n of_o the_o hemisphere_n whereby_o they_o cohere_v and_o that_o cohesion_n will_v continue_v till_o relax_v by_o another_o accession_n of_o heat_n or_o admission_n of_o more_o air._n but_o now_o what_o do_v the_o remark_n propound_v in_o this_o instance_n marry_o a_o hylostatical_a spirit_n which_o pro_fw-la re_fw-la nata_fw-la work_v these_o various_a phaenomena_n which_o be_v only_o a_o conjecture_n and_o have_v no_o evidence_n to_o prove_v it_o
