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

stone_n or_o the_o weight_n of_o seven_o hogshead_n full_a of_o water_n the_o other_o 9_o horse_n upon_o the_o other_o side_n have_v as_o much_o to_o pull_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n then_o to_o see_v so_o much_o difficulty_n and_o pain_n to_o make_v a_o separation_n it_o be_v observe_v that_o before_o the_o air_n be_v exsuct_v and_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o two_o vessel_n one_o man_n be_v able_a to_o pull_v they_o asunder_o with_o his_o hand_n only_o nay_o which_o be_v more_o if_o he_o but_o blow_v into_o they_o as_o a_o man_n do_v into_o a_o bladder_n he_o will_v separat_fw-la they_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o air_n within_o be_v of_o as_o great_a force_n as_o the_o air_n without_o it_o be_v observable_a next_o that_o the_o large_a the_o vessel_n be_v in_o diameter_n the_o more_o strength_n be_v require_v to_o pull_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o upon_o supposition_n then_o they_o be_v 4_o foot_n wide_a i_o very_o believe_v 30_o yoke_n of_o ox_n upon_o every_o side_n will_v hardly_o disjoin_v they_o because_o the_o weight_n of_o each_o pillar_n of_o air_n will_v be_v no_o less_o than_o 22844_o pound_n which_o will_v take_v 63_o strong_a horse_n to_o overcome_v the_o force_n of_o it_o to_o pull_v the_o one_o vessel_n therefore_o from_o the_o other_o there_o must_v be_v 126_o horse_n that_o be_v 63_o on_o every_o side_n observation_n xix_o though_o this_o observation_n may_v seem_v useless_a because_o the_o proposal_n that_o be_v mention_v in_o it_o can_v be_v make_v out_o and_o bring_v to_o pass_v the_o author_n have_v die_v before_o he_o have_v encouragement_n to_o prosecute_v they_o yet_o for_o these_o follow_a reason_n i_o have_v adventure_v to_o insert_v it_o here_o first_o that_o other_o may_v either_o be_v mind_v to_o find_v out_o if_o possible_a his_o invention_n or_o set_v a_o work_n to_o find_v out_o something_n that_o may_v be_v as_o useful_a next_o because_o he_o be_v one_o of_o this_o same_o nation_n and_o a_o great_a master_n of_o the_o mathematics_n not_o only_o in_o the_o speculative_a but_o in_o the_o practical_a part_n chief_o and_o admirable_a for_o invention_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n principal_o i_o have_v presume_v to_o mention_v his_o design_n and_o proposal_n which_o be_v find_v among_o his_o note_n after_o his_o death_n which_o be_v here_o insert_v as_o they_o be_v write_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o offer_v to_o the_o public_a not_o only_o at_o home_n but_o abroad_o to_o stranger_n there_o have_v be_v man_n in_o all_o age_n famous_a for_o some_o one_o art_n and_o science_n beyond_o other_o as_o apelles_n for_o paint_v hypocrates_n for_o medicine_n demosthenes_n for_o oratry_n but_o who_o have_v be_v more_o famous_a in_o their_o time_n than_o some_o person_n for_o their_o profound_a knowledge_n in_o astronomy_n geometry_n and_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o mathematics_n what_o a_o admirable_a person_n be_v archimedes_n for_o his_o divine_a knowledge_n both_o in_o the_o speculative_a and_o practical_a part_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o his_o speculation_n simple_o though_o excellent_a that_o do_v so_o much_o commend_v he_o as_o his_o invention_n and_o admirable_a engine_n for_o peace_n and_o war_n as_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o roman_a history_n and_o other_o i_o confess_v the_o student_n of_o these_o art_n be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o request_n now_o at_o least_o among_o some_o and_o that_o knowledge_n be_v not_o so_o much_o esteem_v and_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o some_o who_o profess_v themselves_o great_a master_n study_v nothing_o but_o the_o pure_a speculation_n which_o sometime_o be_v to_o small_a purpose_n other_o before_o know_v the_o same_o unless_o for_o perfect_v of_o the_o mind_n and_o give_v to_o a_o man_n some_o private_a satisfaction_n but_o such_o thing_n will_v never_o commend_v a_o man_n so_o much_o as_o the_o practical_a part_n and_o new_a invention_n will_v do_v it_o be_v sure_o a_o small_a business_n for_o one_o to_o do_v nothing_o but_o to_o nibble_n at_o some_o petty_a demonstration_n but_o when_o such_o speculation_n be_v join_v with_o invention_n and_o practice_n for_o the_o profit_n and_o use_v of_o man_n among_o who_o they_o live_v then_o be_v they_o far_o more_o to_o be_v commend_v and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o such_o knowledge_n be_v of_o small_a advantage_n to_o themselves_o or_o other_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_n and_o late_a astronomer_n have_v be_v and_o be_v famous_a for_o practice_n as_o witness_v the_o indefatigable_a pain_n they_o have_v be_v at_o in_o make_v their_o observation_n what_o have_v so_o high_o commend_v merchiston_n over_o all_o europe_n as_o his_o invention_n especial_o his_o logarithme_n and_o if_o all_o be_v true_a that_o be_v report_v which_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v he_o may_v have_v be_v more_o renown_v for_o his_o many_o excellent_a engine_n which_o though_o useful_a yet_o because_o hurtful_a to_o mankind_n he_o bury_v with_o himself_o i_o be_o confident_a if_o the_o author_n of_o these_o proposal_n have_v have_v time_n to_o have_v prosecute_v they_o he_o will_v have_v be_v celebrate_v in_o the_o catalogue_n of_o the_o most_o famous_a mathematician_n of_o his_o time_n but_o leave_v this_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o they_o in_o his_o own_o word_n but_o first_o his_o apology_n these_o bold_a proposal_n will_v need_v perhaps_o a_o apology_n to_o such_o to_o who_o the_o cause_n and_o circumstance_n be_v unknown_a let_v it_o suffice_v that_o the_o proposer_n find_v himself_o between_o two_o extreme_n either_o to_o leave_v unprosecute_v this_o affair_n for_o fear_v of_o be_v mistake_v by_o some_o as_o impudent_a or_o to_o commit_v himself_o open_o to_o the_o charitable_a judgement_n of_o other_o who_o will_v suspend_v their_o censure_n till_o they_o have_v see_v what_o his_o endeavour_n will_v produce_v he_o have_v rather_o choose_v this_o last_o especial_o consider_v that_o his_o silence_n can_v not_o answer_v to_o his_o duty_n which_o he_o owe_v to_o his_o country_n service_n see_v the_o follow_a engine_n may_v be_v so_o useful_a to_o it_o a_o deduction_n of_o the_o fabric_n cause_n and_o occasion_n of_o these_o new_a engine_n that_o set_v the_o inventor_n a-work_o will_v take_v a_o long_a time_n to_o discourse_n upon_o this_o paper_n therefore_o be_v only_o destine_v for_o a_o short_a information_n of_o their_o use_n the_o rest_n which_o can_v not_o here_o be_v insert_v without_o impertinency_n may_v be_v supply_v afterward_o if_o need_v be_v either_o by_o a_o discourse_n or_o by_o a_o
