from_o get_v into_o the_o neck_n and_o at_o the_o end_n of_o this_o time_n he_o that_o hold_v the_o glass_n be_v tire_v and_o have_v his_o hand_n almost_o scorch_a the_o vial_n be_v remove_v from_o the_o fire_n be_v break_v that_o we_o may_v take_v out_o the_o metalline_a lump_n which_o have_v a_o little_a darkish_a calx_fw-la here_o and_o there_o upon_o the_o upper_a surface_n but_o much_o more_o beneath_o where_o it_o have_v be_v contiguous_a to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o glass_n then_o put_v all_o this_o careful_o free_v from_o little_a fragment_n of_o break_a glass_n into_o the_o same_o balance_n with_o the_o selfsame_a counterpoise_n i_o have_v use_v before_o i_o find_v according_a to_o my_o expectation_n a_o increase_n of_o weight_n which_o amount_v to_o eighteen_o grain_n that_o the_o tin_n have_v acquire_v by_o this_o operation_n exper._n ii_o this_n do_v we_o separate_v the_o calx_fw-la for_o fear_n of_o lose_v it_o and_o have_v melt_v the_o metal_n in_o a_o crucible_n that_o by_o pour_v it_o out_o it_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o thin_a plate_n capable_a of_o be_v cut_v in_o piece_n and_o put_v into_o such_o another_o vial_n as_o the_o last_o we_o weigh_v it_o again_o together_o with_o the_o ●●tely_o reserve_v calx_fw-la but_o find_v that_o notwithstanding_o all_o our_o oar_n we_o have_v lose_v three_o grain_n of_o the_o eighteen_o we_o have_v gain_v this_o do_v we_o put_v the_o metal_n into_o another_o vial._n but_o in_o regard_n the_o neck_n be_v short_a than_o that_o of_o the_o former_a and_o can_v not_o like_v it_o be_v long_o hold_v in_o one_o hand_n and_o because_o also_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o see_v what_o interest_n the_o shake_n of_o melt_a tin_n have_v in_o the_o quickness_n of_o the_o calcination_n the_o glass_n which_o have_v a_o stopple_n of_o paper_n put_v to_o it_o to_o keep_v out_o smoak_n and_o air_n be_v hold_v at_o some_o distance_n from_o the_o coal_n only_o whilst_o the_o tin_n be_v melt_v and_o then_o be_v wary_o lay_v upon_o they_o and_o keep_v there_o for_o two_o hour_n at_o the_o end_n of_o which_o it_o be_v again_o take_v off_o and_o the_o metal_n weigh_v with_o the_o same_o counterpoise_n and_o balance_n as_o former_o and_o than_o it_o appear_v to_o amount_v to_o eight_o ounce_n twentyfour_o grain_n and_o to_o have_v much_o more_o separable_a calx_fw-la then_o at_o the_o first_o time_n nor_o do_v i_o much_o wonder_n that_o the_o weight_n shall_v be_v increase_v in_o this_o last_o operation_n but_o nine_o grain_n in_o two_o hour_n and_o in_o the_o former_a twice_o so_o many_o in_o half_a the_o time_n since_o during_o the_o two_o hour_n the_o glass_n be_v keep_v in_o one_o posture_n whereas_o in_o the_o first_o operation_n it_o be_v almost_o perpetual_o shake_v all_o the_o while_o it_o be_v keep_v in_o fusion_n and_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o agitation_n of_o melt_a mineral_n will_v much_o promote_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o fire_n upon_o they_o and_o conduce_v to_o their_o calcination_n exper._n iii_o though_o these_o trial_n may_v well_o satisfy_v a_o person_n not_o very_o scrupulous_a yet_o to_o convince_v even_o those_o that_o be_v so_o i_o undertake_v in_o spite_n of_o the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o attempt_n to_o make_v the_o experiment_n in_o glass_n hermetical_o seal_v to_o prevent_v all_o suspicion_n of_o any_o accession_n of_o weight_n accrue_v to_o the_o

time_n it_o seem_v to_o have_v acquire_v on_o the_o surface_n such_o a_o dark_a colour_n as_o argue_v a_o beginning_n of_o calcination_n and_o it_o both_o emit_v fume_n that_o play_v up_o and_o down_o and_o also_o afford_v two_o or_o three_o drop_n of_o liquor_n in_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o retort_n the_o laborant_fw-la be_v not_o able_a to_o hold_v the_o glass_n any_o long_o it_o be_v lay_v on_o quick_a coal_n where_o the_o metal_n continue_v above_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n long_o in_o fusion_n but_o before_o the_o time_n be_v come_v that_o i_o intend_v to_o suffer_v it_o to_o cool_v in_o order_n to_o the_o remove_n it_o it_o sudden_o break_v in_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o piece_n and_o with_o a_o noise_n like_o the_o report_n of_o a_o gun_n but_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n it_o do_v no_o harm_n neither_o to_o i_o nor_o other_o that_o be_v very_o near_o it_o in_o the_o neck_n we_o find_v some_o drop_n of_o a_o yellowish_a liquor_n which_o a_o virtuoso_fw-la that_o taste_v it_o affirm_v to_o be_v of_o a_o odious_a but_o peculiar_a sapor_n and_o as_o for_o the_o smell_n i_o find_v it_o to_o be_v very_o stink_a and_o not_o unlike_a that_o of_o the_o distil_a oil_n of_o
