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

top_n branch_n of_o the_o peach-leafed_a willow_n in_o a_o glass-viol_n among_o 12_o ounce_n of_o pure_a spring_n water_n with_o three_o small_a bud_n upon_o the_o top_n thereof_o scarce_o yet_o

that_o of_o animal_n no_o man_n i_o suppose_v will_v deny_v see_v that_o be_v convey_v through_o the_o trunk_n or_o body_n of_o the_o plant_n by_o inperceptible_a pore_n but_o this_o for_o the_o

passage_n have_v not_o yet_o be_v make_v know_v by_o any_o that_o i_o have_v see_v i_o make_v once_o a_o few_o observation_n for_o try_v of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o aliment_n of_o tree_n which_o breed_v in_o i_o this_o conjecture_n the_o nutritive_a juice_n of_o tree_n be_v transmit_v both_o to_o the_o root_n and_o branch_n through_o the_o heart_n or_o pitch_n and_o woody_a pore_n of_o the_o timber_n and_o when_o it_o be_v come_v to_o the_o extreme_a part_n it_o return_v again_o from_o the_o top_n of_o the_o root_n and_o branch_n between_o the_o bark_n and_o timber_n into_o these_o forename_a interior_a passage_n and_o so_o back_o to_o the_o extremity_n again_o and_o that_o continual_o so_o long_o as_o the_o life_n remain_v and_o because_o the_o substance_n of_o that_o skin_n or_o bark_n which_o invest_v the_o fibre_n of_o the_o root_n be_v more_o open_a and_o porous_a than_o that_o which_o be_v upon_o the_o outward_a branch_n therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o so_o much_o as_o be_v superad_v to_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o former_a aliment_n from_o the_o earth_n be_v convey_v to_o the_o heart_n and_o pitch_n by_o mean_n of_o and_o together_o with_o that_o part_n of_o the_o retrograd_v juice_n which_o return_v from_o nourish_v and_o enliven_a the_o timber_n of_o the_o root-branche_n for_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a experiment_n to_o make_v the_o top_n of_o any_o tree_n

animal_n mix_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o veni-cave_n before_o it_o come_v to_o the_o heart_n this_o motion_n be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v always_o alike_o swift_a or_o of_o equal_a celerity_n for_o the_o vital_a juice_n of_o the_o tree_n become_v so_o thick_a and_o oleagenous_a in_o the_o winter_n that_o the_o motion_n thereof_o to_o the_o outward_a be_v scarce_o discernible_a though_o

inward_a be_v in_o so_o small_a quantity_n that_o they_o be_v rather_o like_o vapour_n than_o liquid_a juice_n indeed_o some_o tree_n when_o their_o root-branche_n be_v cut_v even_o in_o winter_n will_v yield_v no_o small_a quantity_n of_o a_o acid_a liquor_n which_o by_o addition_n of_o the_o recent_a leffas_n from_o the_o earth_n smell_v evident_o of_o the_o matrix_fw-la from_o which_o it_o
