whether_o you_o think_v the_o quicksilver_n will_v not_o all_o have_v fall_v out_o a._n no_o sure_a the_o air_n will_v have_v be_v press_v upward_o through_o the_o quicksilver_n itself_o for_o a_o

stand_v still_o at_o 29_o inch_n above_o the_o level_n of_o the_o basin_n rather_o than_o any_o place_n else_o a._n it_o be_v not_o hard_a to_o assign_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o for_o so_o much_o quicksilver_n as_o be_v above_o the_o 29_o inch_n will_v raise_v the_o first_o level_v of_o that_o in_o the_o basin_n as_o much_o as_o if_o you_o have_v pour_v it_o on_o and_o thereby_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o aequilibrium_fw-la so_o that_o i_o see_v plain_o now_o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o vacuum_n from_o this_o experiment_n for_o i_o consider_v only_o that_o natural_o quicksilver_n can_v ascend_v in_o air_n nor_o air_n descend_v in_o quicksilver_n though_o by_o force_v it_o may_v b._n nor_o do_v i_o think_v that_o torricellius_n or_o any_o other_o vacui_v think_v of_o it_o
