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.

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
