new_a and_o rare_a invention_n of_o water-work_n show_v the_o easy_a way_n to_o raise_v water_n high_o than_o the_o spring_n by_o which_o invention_n the_o perpetual_a motion_n be_v propose_v many_o hard_a labour_n perform_v and_o variety_n of_o motion_n and_o sound_n produce_v a_o work_n both_o useful_a profitable_a and_o delightful_a for_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n first_o write_v in_o

in_o cornhill_n at_o the_o sign_n of_o atlas_n 1659._o the_o preface_n because_o the_o raise_n of_o water_n high_o than_o the_o spring_n after_o the_o way_n principal_o intend_v in_o this_o work_n seem_v to_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o common_a receive_a opinion_n of_o all_o time_n i_o have_v think_v it_o not_o only_o sufficient_a to_o teach_v the_o construction_n of_o the_o engine_n proper_a thereto_o but_o also_o for_o more_o ample_a satisfaction_n to_o premise_v certain_a proposition_n to_o precede_v in_o place_n of_o principle_n only_o to_o make_v you_o understand_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o motion_n by_o the_o cause_n thereof_o that_o so_o the_o way_n may_v be_v more_o accessible_a to_o the_o other_o phneumatike_a invention_n viz._n engine_n move_v by_o the_o force_n of_o air_n to_o come_v to_o which_o it_o must_v first_o be_v consider_v that_o all_o the_o element_n whether_o simple_a or_o mix_v have_v two_o principal_a motion_n viz._n natural_a and_o accidental_a the_o natural_a motion_n be_v that_o whereby_o each_o element_n search_v and_o draw_v itself_o towards_o the_o place_n assign_v thereto_o by_o the_o divine_a providence_n in_o the_o creation_n the_o accidental_a motion_n be_v that_o which_o be_v move_v by_o any_o outward_a force_n different_a from_o the_o first_o now_o although_o divers_a thing_n seem_v to_o move_v contrary_a to_o their_o order_n without_o any_o external_a agitation_n yet_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o their_o contrary_a motion_n be_v cause_v to_o hinder_v some_o other_o great_a accident_n as_o for_o example_n it_o shall_v be_v show_v that_o the_o water_n to_o shun_v vacuity_n mount_v contarry_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n thereof_o because_o vacuity_n be_v more_o repugnant_a to_o nature_n then_o the_o contrary_a motion_n of_o that_o element_n as_o be_v see_v by_o the_o principle_n proposition_n which_o serve_v as_o a_o foundation_n of_o this_o invention_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o this_o principle_n of_o nature_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o vacuity_n in_o the_o elementary_a sphere_n whereof_o the_o earth_n and_o water_n do_v supply_v the_o inferior_a part_n and_o the_o fire_n and_o air_n which_o encompass_v they_o the_o superior_a part_n and_o each_o of_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v heavy_a or_o light_a according_a as_o natural_o they_o be_v near_o or_o further_o from_o the_o centre_n but_o in_o these_o four_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o have_v a_o regard_n as_o well_o to_o certain_a thing_n whereof_o the_o air_n and_o water_n be_v capable_a as_o to_o those_o wherein_o they_o can_v suffer_v accident_n as_o the_o water_n which_o although_o it_o may_v be_v extend_v by_o the_o intermixture_n of_o air_n or_o atenuate_v and_o convert_v into_o air_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o heat_n which_o resolve_v it_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o can_v be_v press_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o a_o certain_a quantity_n of_o water_n can_v be_v force_v by_o compression_n to_o be_v contain_v in_o less_o space_n than_o its_o natural_a extension_n and_o the_o air_n on_o the_o contrary_a may_v be_v restrain_v and_o put_v up_o be_v press_v or_o rarefy_v and_o extend_v be_v move_v beyond_o the_o other_o accident_n whereof_o it_o be_v capable_a these_o thing_n shall_v hereafter_o be_v demonstrate_v by_o proposition_n found_v upon_o experience_n which_o i_o have_v think_v to_o be_v more_o convenient_a for_o this_o purpose_n then_o to_o involve_v the_o reader_n in_o a_o labyrinth_n of_o geometrical_a proposition_n which_o although_o most_o exact_a yet_o be_v not_o altogether_o pertinent_a for_o instruction_n in_o this_o subject_a as_o for_o example_n if_o we_o shall_v build_v upon_o this_o rule_n of_o archimedes_n that_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n be_v spherical_a when_o it_o be_v not_o move_v which_o superficies_n have_v for_o its_o centre_n that_o of_o the_o whole_a earth_n there_o will_v follow_v a_o subjection_n that_o we_o must_v hold_v in_o the_o demonstration_n viz._n that_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n be_v circular_a which_o in_o the_o like_a case_n as_o be_v that_o whereof_o we_o speak_v be_v esteem_v plain_a of_o every_o one_o and_o that_o first_o because_o the_o difference_n be_v undescernable_a and_o second_o because_o it_o can_v make_v a_o defect_n in_o any_o operation_n whatsoever_o a_o liberty_n therefore_o which_o be_v not_o permit_v in_o the_o mathematics_n that_o therefore_o with_o other_o reason_n have_v move_v i_o to_o omit_v those_o demonstration_n which_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v too_o punctual_a for_o this_o purpose_n note_v also_o that_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o water_n i_o mean_v water_n equal_o heavy_a without_o make_v any_o difference_n although_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v have_v a_o regard_n thereto_o chief_o if_o the_o difference_n be_v such_o as_o in_o the_o water_n of_o certain_a river_n whereof_o pliny_n speak_v wherein_o nothing_o will_v sink_v to_o the_o bottom_n as_o in_o the_o water_n of_o the_o lake_n alphaltite_n and_o in_o the_o water_n of_o arethuse_n which_o run_v towards_o siracuse_n and_o that_o because_o of_o their_o extreme_a weight_n which_o return_v heavy_a thing_n to_o the_o top_n as_o quick_a silver_n do_v the_o metal_n which_o sink_v not_o in_o it_o although_o it_o be_v liquid_a because_o it_o be_v more_o weighty_a and_o in_o this_o we_o must_v make_v a_o distinction_n that_o metal_n and_o heavy_a solid_n sink_v in_o water_n according_a to_o the_o figure_n they_o have_v for_o copper_n silver_n and_o gold_n sink_v not_o in_o ordinary_a water_n if_o it_o be_v beat_v out_o in_o plate_n or_o thin_a leaf_n but_o if_o it_o be_v contract_v into_o a_o more_o solid_a form_n it_o sink_v forthwith_o to_o the_o bottom_n but_o these_o and_o the_o like_a thing_n i_o shall_v treat_v of_o in_o a_o commentary_n upon_o the_o book_n of_o archimedes_n concerning_o weight_n and_o thing_n sink_v in_o water_n the_o theory_n of_o the_o conduct_n of_o water_n proposition_n 1._o the_o air_n may_v be_v press_v but_o not_o the_o water_n to_o give_v a_o example_n whereof_o let_v there_o be_v two_o vessel_n a_o and_o b_o of_o one_o form_n matter_n and_o bigness_n the_o which_o let_v be_v full_a of_o water_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o in_o either_o of_o those_o vessel_n the_o water_n can_v be_v press_v so_o as_o the_o one_o of_o those_o vessel_n may_v contain_v the_o least_o part_n that_o may_v be_v more_o than_o the_o other_o but_o when_o they_o be_v only_o full_a of_o air_n i_o say_v that_o the_o say_a air_n may_v be_v press_v and_o one_o of_o those_o vessel_n may_v contain_v more_o than_o the_o other_o which_o shall_v be_v thus_o demonstrate_v let_v the_o say_a vessel_n a_o and_o b_o be_v make_v very_o close_o on_o all_o part_n and_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o vessel_n b_o let_v there_o be_v a_o small_a hole_n e_o to_o which_o the_o pipe_n ed_o be_v fasten_v the_o other_o end_n thereof_o d_o be_v fasten_v to_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o vessel_n c_o the_o which_o be_v also_o make_v very_o close_a one_o every_o side_n and_o contain_v about_o a_o three_o part_n of_o the_o vessel_n b_o and_o to_o make_v the_o water_n enter_v therein_o with_o force_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o fasten_v the_o pipe_n fletcher_o near_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o vessel_n c_o the_o which_o shall_v be_v make_v as_o high_a as_o may_v be_v that_o it_o may_v give_v so_o much_o the_o more_o violence_n to_o the_o water_n the_o which_o enter_v the_o small_a vessel_n c_o shall_v make_v the_o air_n that_o be_v therein_o to_o ascend_v into_o the_o vessel_n b_o the_o which_o shall_v contain_v more_o air_n than_o a_o by_o the_o quantity_n which_o be_v in_o c_o and_o so_o the_o air_n shall_v be_v press_v in_o the_o say_a vessel_n b_o the_o which_o may_v be_v see_v if_o you_o make_v a_o small_a hole_n in_o the_o say_a vessel_n by_o the_o which_o the_o say_a air_n shall_v come_v forth_o with_o violence_n but_o if_o you_o pierce_v the_o vessel_n a_o there_o will_v not_o be_v the_o same_o effect_n because_o in_o it_o the_o air_n be_v not_o press_v but_o it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o although_o the_o air_n may_v be_v press_v it_o be_v but_o only_o to_o a_o certain_a degree_n which_o be_v about_o a_o three_o part_n
