i_o say_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o baldwinus_n phosphorus_n i_o shall_v recite_v a_o experiment_n that_o i_o purposely_o make_v to_o examine_v whether_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o air_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o shine_a of_o this_o phosphorus_n as_o i_o have_v long_o since_o found_v it_o to_o that_o of_o some_o piece_n of_o shine_a wood_n we_o expose_v for_o a_o competent_a time_n to_o the_o beam_n of_o a_o vigorous_a light_n a_o portion_n of_o matter_n of_o about_o the_o breadth_n of_o the_o palm_n of_o one_o hand_n which_o we_o have_v prepare_v to_o be_v make_v luminous_a by_o they_o and_o then_o cause_v the_o candle_n to_o be_v remove_v for_o we_o choose_v to_o make_v trial_n by_o night_n we_o nimble_o convey_v the_o matter_n into_o a_o receiver_n that_o be_v keep_v in_o readiness_n for_o it_o presume_v as_o the_o event_n show_v we_o may_v that_o by_o use_v diligence_n the_o light_n will_v last_v as_o long_o as_o the_o experiment_n will_v need_v to_o do_v make_v haste_n therefore_o to_o pump_n out_o the_o air_n we_o heedful_o watch_v whether_o the_o withdraw_a of_o it_o will_v contrary_a to_o my_o conjecture_n notable_o diminish_v the_o light_n of_o the_o shine_a matter_n and_o after_o we_o have_v thus_o withdraw_v the_o air_n gradual_o we_o try_v whether_o by_o let_v it_o return_v hasty_o it_o will_v produce_v a_o more_o sensible_a change_n in_o the_o matter_n which_o have_v be_v purposely_o put_v in_o without_o any_o thing_n to_o cover_v it_o that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o more_o expose_v to_o the_o air_n action_n but_o neither_o upon_o the_o gradual_a recess_n of_o the_o air_n nor_o yet_o upon_o its_o rush_n in_o when_o it_o be_v permit_v to_o return_v can_v we_o certain_o observe_v any_o manifest_a alteration_n in_o the_o luminousness_n of_o the_o phosphorus_n other_o than_o that_o slow_a decrement_n that_o may_v well_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o time_n during_o which_o the_o experiment_n be_v make_v it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o this_o luminous_a substance_n require_v no_o long_a time_n to_o make_v it_o decay_v and_o by_o degree_n to_o lose_v all_o its_o light_n so_o that_o though_o once_o there_o seem_v to_o one_o or_o two_o of_o the_o bystander_n upon_o the_o return_n of_o the_o air_n to_o be_v some_o recovery_n of_o part_n of_o the_o lose_a splendour_n yet_o after_o repeat_v experiment_n it_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o air_n be_v not_o at_o all_o necessary_a to_o the_o shine_a of_o our_o matter_n and_o it_o be_v judge_v most_o probable_a that_o the_o absence_n or_o presence_n of_o the_o air_n have_v no_o manifest_a operation_n on_o it_o i_o may_v add_v to_o this_o that_o perhaps_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o air_n be_v rather_o hurtful_a than_o advantageous_a to_o this_o sort_n of_o light_n since_o for_o have_v have_v a_o large_a phosphorus_n that_o be_v much_o esteem_v and_o whilst_o i_o keep_v it_o exact_o protect_v from_o the_o air_n do_v very_o well_o a_o part_n of_o the_o glass_n that_o cover_v it_o have_v by_o mischance_n be_v somewhat_o crack_v though_o none_o of_o the_o splinter_n appear_v displace_v yet_o it_o seem_v some_o of_o the_o corpuscle_n of_o the_o air_n make_v a_o shift_n to_o insinuate_v themselves_o at_o these_o chink_n as_o narrow_a as_o they_o be_v and_o in_o not_o many_o day_n make_v the_o matter_n cease_v to_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v make_v luminous_a as_o before_o i_o can_v stay_v to_o inquire_v whether_o this_o unfitness_n or_o indisposition_n may_v be_v impute_v to_o the_o bare_a moisture_n of_o the_o air_n or_o to_o some_o other_o substance_n or_o quality_n that_o alone_o or_o in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o moisture_n may_v spoil_v that_o peculiar_a texture_n or_o constitution_n that_o fit_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o phosphorus_n assist_v by_o the_o impression_n of_o external_a light_n to_o become_v luminous_a this_o i_o say_v i_o can_v stay_v to_o examine_v though_o that_o this_o phosphorus_n be_v of_o a_o nice_a and_o tender_a constitution_n and_o easy_o alterable_a i_o be_v induce_v to_o think_v by_o find_v that_o the_o want_n of_o circumstance_n seem_o slight_a enough_o will_v keep_v it_o from_o be_v make_v and_o i_o guess_v that_o a_o convention_n of_o circumstance_n do_v more_o contribute_v to_o the_o production_n than_o any_o peculiar_a and_o incommunicable_a nature_n of_o the_o matter_n because_o have_v have_v the_o curiosity_n to_o make_v some_o trial_n upon_o so_o obvious_a a_o material_a as_o quick_a lime_n though_o the_o success_n do_v not_o answer_v my_o design_n yet_o neither_o be_v it_o so_o bad_a but_o that_o some_o luminous_a quality_n be_v produce_v in_o the_o lime_n by_o the_o action_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o a_o saline_a liquor_n and_o i_o scarce_o question_v but_o other_o material_n will_v be_v find_v capable_a of_o be_v make_v luminous_a by_o the_o same_o or_o the_o like_a operation_n that_o be_v employ_v by_o baldwinus_n when_o that_o learned_a man_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o communicate_v his_o way_n to_o the_o public_a but_o to_o return_v to_o what_o i_o be_v say_v that_o the_o contact_n of_o the_o air_n may_v be_v rather_o hurtful_a than_o advantageous_a to_o the_o phosphorus_n i_o shall_v only_o add_v here_o as_o matter_n of_o fact_n for_o my_o conjecture_n about_o light_n belong_v to_o my_o yet_o unpublisht_a note_n of_o the_o origine_fw-la of_o quality_n that_o whereas_o the_o contact_n of_o the_o air_n though_o it_o be_v not_o free_a do_v in_o a_o few_o day_n destroy_v the_o luminousness_n of_o a_o good_a phosphorus_n yet_o have_v include_v another_o in_o a_o receiver_n whence_o we_o afterward_o pump_v out_o the_o air_n this_o matter_n though_o inferior_a to_o the_o other_o in_o vividness_n be_v so_o little_o spoil_v by_o lie_v open_a in_o our_o vacuum_n that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o not_o only_o some_o week_n but_o some_o month_n i_o find_v that_o the_o beam_n of_o a_o candle_n pass_v to_o it_o through_o the_o receiver_n will_v notwithstanding_o the_o vacuum_n it_o yet_o continue_v in_o suffice_v to_o re-excite_a in_o it_o a_o manifest_a light_n thus_o far_o be_v the_o communication_n of_o this_o excellent_a person_n who_o it_o be_v hope_v may_v be_v further_o prevail_v with_o to_o communicate_v those_o other_o accurate_a observation_n and_o curious_a researche_n he_o have_v make_v concern_v the_o light_n of_o the_o bononian_n stone_n and_o the_o phosphoros_n baldwini_n which_o be_v indeed_o true_o admirable_a and_o very_o much_o differ_v from_o the_o usual_a process_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o exhibit_v of_o
