A60473	Horological disquisitions concerning the nature of time, and the reasons why all days, from noon to noon, are not alike twenty four hours long in which appears the impossibility of a clock's being always kept exactly true to the sun : with tables of equation, and newer and better rules ... how thereby precisely to adjust royal pendulums ... : with a table of pendulums, shewing the beats that any length makes in an hour ... / by John Smith ... ; to which is added The best rules for the ordering and use both of the quick-silver and spirit weather-glasses, and Mr. S. Watson's rules for adjusting a clock by the fixed stars.	Smith, John, fl. 1673-1680.	1694 (1694)	Wing S4106; ESTC R17047	36,804	110

air_n be_v no_o way_n alter_v this_o be_v observe_v by_o dr._n beale_n phyl._n trans_fw-la numb_a 9_o p._n 157._o that_o a_o baroscope_n ascend_v high_a in_o the_o cold_a morning_n and_o evening_n than_o at_o midday_n which_o doubtless_o proceed_v from_o the_o aforesaid_a cause_n for_o if_o you_o leave_v for_o tryal-sake_n a_o little_a bubble_n of_o air_n in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o glass_n when_o you_o set_v it_o up_o you_o will_v find_v the_o same_o defect_n as_o dr._n beale_n have_v observe_v wherefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a if_o you_o be_v doubtful_a of_o the_o like_a to_o rectify_v your_o weatherglass_n when_o it_o have_v be_v set_v up_o about_o a_o twelve_o month_n which_o be_v do_v by_o take_v of_o the_o tube_n down_o and_o repurge_v of_o it_o of_o air_n as_o you_o be_v teach_v in_o first_o set_v of_o it_o up_o but_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v put_v to_o more_o trouble_n than_o needs_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v first_o certain_a that_o your_o weatherglass_n do_v want_v rectify_v which_o you_o may_v know_v thus_o let_v the_o tube_n as_o it_o stand_v in_o the_o cestern_a be_v stoop_v down_o so_o low_a till_o the_o mercury_n rise_v quite_o up_o to_o the_o head_n and_o if_o you_o perceive_v a_o bubble_n of_o wind_n at_o the_o top_n above_o the_o quicksilver_n that_o be_v the_o certain_a sign_n of_o its_o want_v to_o be_v new_o rectify_v clap_v then_o your_o finger_n under_o the_o open_a end_n in_o the_o cestern_a and_o take_v it_o out_o and_o purge_v out_o the_o air_n as_o before_o be_v direct_v at_o its_o first_o set_v up_o of_o the_o uses_n of_o the_o baroscope_n or_o quicksilver_n weatherglass_n and_o here_o it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o show_v you_o my_o opinion_n concern_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o different_a weight_n of_o air_n which_o be_v now_o general_o believe_v and_o that_o with_o good_a reason_n too_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o quicksilver_n rise_v against_o fair_a and_o fall_v against_o foul_a wether_n now_o the_o reason_n or_o cause_n of_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v principal_o two_o the_o one_o be_v the_o dilate_v and_o contract_n of_o the_o air_n and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o air_n be_v empty_a of_o light_a vapour_n and_o sometime_o fill_v with_o they_o that_o the_o air_n be_v capable_a of_o contraction_n and_o expansion_n be_v plain_o apparent_a by_o its_o dilate_v with_o heat_n and_o contract_v by_o cold_a in_o the_o bolt-head_n of_o a_o thermoscope_n or_o water_n weatherglass_n now_o if_o the_o air_n be_v contract_v into_o a_o less_o room_n by_o what_o cause_n it_o will_v the_o adjacent_a air_n flow_v in_o to_o make_v good_a the_o level_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n and_o so_o by_o the_o addition_n of_o more_o air_n the_o cylend_a which_o bovy_v up_o the_o mercury_n in_o the_o weatherglass_n become_v heavy_a and_o by_o consequence_n make_v the_o quicksilver_n rise_v and_o though_o in_o summertime_n it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o the_o heat_v we_o feel_v shall_v rather_o expand_v than_o contract_n yet_o in_o this_o we_o may_v be_v deceive_v for_o though_o the_o air_n be_v hot_a just_a at_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o sun_n reflection_n yet_o the_o upper_a region_n be_v still_o as_o cold_a as_o ever_o witness_v the_o snow_n which_o continue_v all_o the_o year_n round_o on_o the_o top_n of_o some_o very_a high_a mountain_n and_o so_o the_o air_n may_v very_o well_o be_v accidental_o contract_v in_o the_o hot_a time_n of_o summer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o cold_a winter_n and_o be_v one_o occasion_n of_o the_o air_n be_v then_o as_o heavy_a in_o dry_a wether_n as_o in_o the_o fair_a time_n of_o winter_n and_o as_o the_o air_n be_v make_v heavy_a by_o contraction_n so_o it_o be_v make_v light_a by_o expansion_n for_o when_o its_o body_n be_v rarify_v from_o what_o cause_n soever_o the_o swell_v thereof_o cause_v the_o high_a part_n to_o flow_v off_o or_o as_o i_o may_v say_v run_v down_o on_o those_o part_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n that_o be_v below_o it_o by_o which_o mean_v the_o cylend_a or_o pillar_n of_o it_o that_o press_v on_o any_o place_n become_v light_a and_o so_o the_o mercury_n in_o the_o baroscope_n be_v suffer_v to_o sink_v down_o or_o descend_v and_o that_o the_o air_n be_v sometime_o full_a of_o watery_a vapour_n and_o sometime_o empty_a be_v another_o and_o the_o chief_a reason_n too_o of_o the_o quicksilver_n rise_v and_o fall_v be_v manifest_a from_o this_o principle_n in_o philosophy_n that_o whatever_o rise_v up_o and_o swim_v in_o any_o medium_fw-la must_v bulk_n for_o bulk_n be_v light_a than_o the_o medium_fw-la by_o which_o it_o be_v sustain_v hence_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o kind_n of_o watery_a vapour_n must_v be_v light_a than_o the_o air_n else_o they_o can_v never_o rise_v up_o therein_o nor_o be_v suspend_v there_o till_o by_o another_o principle_n in_o nature_n they_o be_v make_v to_o descend_v in_o rain_n or_o snow_n now_o if_o water_n thus_o rarefy_v be_v specifical_o light_a than_o air_n then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o when_o the_o air_n be_v fill_v therewith_o it_o must_v become_v less_o weighty_a than_o it_o be_v before_o as_o a_o glass_n fill_v with_o half_a water_n and_o half_o rectify_v spirit_n of_o wine_n a_o much_o light_a substance_n shall_v not_o weigh_v so_o much_o as_o when_o fill_v with_o all_o water_n so_o the_o air_n be_v always_o light_a in_o wet_a wether_n because_o the_o space_n above_o we_o be_v then_o full_a of_o vapour_n much_o light_a than_o the_o air_n be_v and_o by_o consequence_n the_o body_n of_o air_n and_o watery_a particle_n mix_v together_o must_v weigh_v less_o than_o if_o the_o whole_a be_v only_o a_o unmixed_a and_o pure_a air._n on_o the_o contrary_a when_o the_o air_n be_v dry_a and_o free_a from_o be_v thus_o fill_v with_o watery_a vapour_n it_o must_v then_o be_v most_o heavy_a at_o such_o time_n indeed_o we_o may_v perceive_v many_o large_a white_a and_o curl_a cloud_n sail_v aloft_o over_o we_o but_o these_o be_v only_o a_o collection_n of_o some_o few_o vapour_n in_o the_o very_a upper_a region_n of_o the_o air_n the_o space_n below_o be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n very_o little_a or_o not_o at_o all_o fill_v therewith_o whereas_o in_o very_o wet_a wether_n when_o the_o glass_n be_v low_a and_o the_o air_n very_o light_a we_o see_v not_o only_o the_o upper_a region_n full_a of_o compact_a vapour_n but_o find_v also_o the_o whole_a atmosphere_n even_o down_o to_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n fill_v therewith_o as_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o sweat_v of_o stone_n and_o other_o token_n of_o the_o air_n extreme_a humidity_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o full_a of_o light_a matter_n the_o space_n above_o we_o be_v the_o less_o will_v the_o weight_n be_v that_o press_v downward_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n the_o glass_n in_o the_o wette_v wether_n always_o sink_v low_a this_o be_v premise_v i_o come_v to_o the_o more_o particular_a uses_n of_o the_o glass_n and_o first_o you_o may_v perceive_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o glass_n give_v a_o very_a good_a account_n of_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o air_n as_o to_o its_o moisture_n or_o dryness_n the_o moisture_n thereof_o or_o its_o fullness_n of_o watery_a vapour_n be_v always_o proportionable_a to_o the_o lowness_n of_o the_o quicksilver_n and_o every_o degree_n of_o sink_v be_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o air_n be_v fill_v more_o and_o more_o with_o moisture_n and_o the_o low_a its_o station_n the_o more_o full_a of_o moisture_n the_o air_n still_o be_v and_o you_o shall_v always_o observe_v that_o the_o low_a the_o quicksilver_n descend_v the_o more_o listless_a and_o out_o of_o order_n man_n body_n be_v because_o the_o air_n be_v then_o full_a of_o that_o which_o be_v disagreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n who_o be_v not_o make_v to_o live_v in_o a_o watery_a element_n and_o therefore_o the_o more_o watery_a the_o medium_fw-la be_v in_o which_o he_o live_v the_o more_o be_v his_o nature_n disturb_v at_o it_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o high_a the_o quicksilver_n be_v the_o dry_a still_o be_v the_o air_n and_o by_o consequence_n man_n body_n be_v then_o find_v to_o be_v more_o brisk_a and_o lively_a because_o the_o medium_fw-la in_o which_o they_o live_v and_o move_v be_v free_a from_o what_o their_o nature_n abhor_v so_o that_o by_o the_o weatherglass_n may_v be_v know_v in_o great_a part_n whether_o the_o disorder_n and_o melancholy_n or_o the_o periodical_a pain_n and_o ache_n to_o which_o we_o be_v sometime_o unavoidable_o subject_a be_v real_o occasion_v by_o a_o new_a bodily_a distemper_n or_o not_o for_o this_o happen_v when_o the_o quicksilver_n be_v low_a may_v be_v judge_v to_o be_v occasion_v rather_o by_o the_o air_n and_o by_o
