make_v a_o pipe_n perforate_v from_o end_n to_o end_n so_o small_a that_o with_o your_o naked_a eye_n you_o will_v very_o hardly_o have_v see_v the_o body_n of_o it_o insomuch_o that_o i_o have_v be_v

find_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a pressure_n of_o the_o air_n upon_o the_o water_n in_o the_o vessel_n or_o great_a pipe_n than_o there_o be_v upon_o that_o in_o the_o lesser_a pipe_n for_o since_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o air_n every_o way_n be_v find_v to_o be_v as_o much_o as_o be_v able_a to_o press_v up_o and_o sustain_v a_o cylinder_n of_o quicksilver_n of_o two_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a high_a or_o thereabouts_o and_o since_o of_o this_o pressure_n so_o many_o more_o degree_n be_v require_v to_o force_v the_o air_n into_o a_o small_a than_o into_o a_o great_a hole_n that_o be_v full_a of_o a_o more_o congruous_a fluid_n and_o last_o since_o those_o degree_n that_o be_v requisite_a to_o press_v it_o in_o be_v thereby_o take_v off_o from_o the_o air_n within_o and_o the_o air_n within_o leave_v with_o so_o many_o degree_n of_o pressure_n less_o than_o the_o air_n without_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o air_n in_o the_o less_o tube_n or_o pipe_n will_v have_v less_o

will_v necessary_o follow_v viz._n that_o this_o unequal_a pressure_n of_o the_o air_n cause_v by_o its_o protrusion_n into_o unequal_a hole_n be_v a_o cause_n sufficient_a to_o produce_v this_o

from_o the_o perpendicular_a but_o none_o out_o of_o glass_n into_o air_n except_v a_o direct_a will_v pass_v without_o a_o very_a great_a refraction_n from_o the_o perpendicular_a nay_o any_o oblique_a ray_n under_o 30_o degree_n will_v not_o be_v admit_v into_o the_o air_n at_o all_o but_o reflect_v and_o quicksilver_n will_v neither_o admit_v oblique_a or_o direct_a but_o reflect_v all_o so_o that_o quicksilver_n as_o to_o the_o transmit_v of_o the_o ray_n of_o light_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o a_o quite_o differ_v constitution_n from_o that_o of_o air_n water_n glass_n etc._n etc._n and_o to_o assimilate_v most_o those_o opacous_a and_o strong_a reflect_a body_n of_o metal_n and_o as_o to_o the_o property_n of_o cohesion_n or_o congruity_n it_o seem_v to_o keep_v the_o same_o

the_o air_n out_o of_o it_o the_o water_n will_v immediate_o subside_o in_o the_o small_a pipe_n and_o this_o will_v indeed_o infer_v that_o it_o asscend_v before_o only_o by_o the_o pressure_n of_o

which_o be_v that_o a_o unequal_a pressure_n of_o the_o incumbent_a air_n will_v cause_v a_o unequal_a height_n in_o the_o water_n surface_n and_o the_o second_o be_v that_o in_o this_o experiment_n there_o be_v such_o a_o unequal_a pressure_n now_o that_o the_o first_o be_v true_a the_o follow_a experiment_n will_v evince_v for_o if_o you_o take_v any_o vessel_n so_o contrive_v as_o that_o you_o
