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.	Sinclair, George, d. 1696.	1683 (1683)	Wing S3855; ESTC R15622	205,371	320

out_o the_o object_n glass_n and_o cover_v a_o hole_n in_o the_o window_n board_n with_o it_o you_o shall_v see_v distinct_o upon_o a_o white_a wall_n the_o species_n and_o true_a representation_n

great_a artist_n can_v make_v to_o discern_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o inferior_a planet_n far_o less_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o superior_a either_o in_o minute_n or_o in_o second_o and_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a tardity_n and_o slowness_n of_o the_o motion_n notwithstanding_o of_o this_o i_o be_o induce_v to_o think_v that_o the_o retrograde_a motion_n of_o the_o moon_n may_v be_v discern_v at_o least_o in_o minute_n for_o evince_v of_o this_o let_v we_o suppose_v which_o be_v true_a that_o the_o sun_n run_v from_o east_n to_o west_n half_a a_o degree_n in_o two_o minute_n of_o time_n see_v in_o a_o hour_n he_o run_v 15_o degree_n next_o that_o the_o moon_n go_v about_o the_o zodiac_n in_o 27_o day_n and_o 7_o hour_n namely_o from_o that_o same_o point_n to_o that_o point_n again_o and_o consequent_o run_v back_o every_o day_n 13_o degree_n and_o about_o 10_o minute_n by_o this_o account_n she_o must_v retrograde_v half_o a_o degree_n and_o about_o 2_o minute_n of_o a_o degree_n every_o hour_n the_o sun_n than_o run_v half_o a_o degree_n in_o two_o minute_n and_o the_o moon_n half_a a_o degree_n in_o 60_o minute_n therefore_o the_o moon_n must_v be_v 30_o time_n slow_a in_o her_o retrograde_a motion_n than_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o his_o diurnal_a motion_n let_v we_o suppose_v next_o as_o i_o observe_v with_o a_o tub_n 12_o foot_n long_o that_o the_o image_n of_o the_o sun_n run_v the_o eight_o part_n of_o a_o inch_n every_o second_o and_o consequent_o seven_o inch_n and_o a_o half_a in_o a_o minute_n then_o must_v the_o image_n of_o the_o moon_n with_o that_o same_o telescope_n run_v the_o thirty_o part_n of_o seven_o inch_n and_o a_o half_a in_o a_o minute_n see_v she_o run_v 30_o time_n slowly_o therefore_o in_o every_o minute_n of_o time_n she_o must_v advance_v the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o inch_n which_o will_v be_v very_o sensible_a though_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o retrograde_a motion_n proper_o yet_o by_o compare_v the_o diurnal_a motion_n of_o the_o moon_n that_o be_v slow_a to_o the_o diurnal_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o be_v swift_a we_o shall_v real_o find_v the_o thing_n itself_o therefore_o in_o the_o time_n of_o a_o solar_a eclipse_n this_o retrograde_a motion_n be_v conspicuous_a which_o by_o a_o ordinary_a telescope_n may_v be_v discern_v in_o minute_n assoon_o then_o as_o the_o east_n side_n of_o the_o moon_n begin_v to_o enter_v upon_o the_o west_n side_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o great_a the_o eclipse_n be_v it_o be_v the_o better_a observe_v and_o you_o will_v find_v the_o one_o image_n which_o will_v be_v black_a cover_v the_o other_o by_o degree_n that_o be_v splendid_a and_o run_v in_o every_o minute_n of_o time_n the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o inch_n of_o the_o sun_n diameter_n provide_v always_o that_o the_o sun_n run_v the_o eight_o part_n of_o a_o inch_n in_o a_o second_o observation_n iv_o upon_o tuesday_n the_o 19_o of_o july_n 1670_o the_o follow_a
