various_a cause_n of_o the_o smoke_n and_o the_o most_o usual_a occasion_n be_v that_o the_o chamber_n for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v not_o receive_v a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o air_n from_o without_o to_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o the_o smoke_n that_o go_v out_o of_o the_o room_n for_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o fire_n by_o its_o violence_n expel_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o air_n with_o those_o small_a particle_n of_o wood_n which_o intermix_v with_o the_o air_n cause_v the_o smoke_n as_o the_o grosser_n part_n of_o the_o wood_n make_v ash_n and_o since_o there_o can_v be_v no_o vacuum_n in_o nature_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o constant_a access_n of_o fresh_a air_n into_o the_o chamber_n and_o that_o in_o as_o large_a a_o quantity_n

a_o chamber_n be_v close_o shut_v the_o smoke_n must_v needs_o fly_v about_o it_o that_o be_v that_o the_o smoke_n which_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o fire_n must_v fill_v the_o chamber_n because_o the_o air_n of_o the_o chamber_n tend_v only_o towards_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o usual_a remedy_n in_o such_o case_n be_v to_o open_v the_o door_n or_o windoor_n but_o because_o this_o be_v somewhat_o
