A29003	New experiments physico-mechanicall, touching the spring of the air, and its effects (made, for the most part, in a new pneumatical engine) : written by way of letter to the Right Honorable Charles, Lord Vicount of Dungarvan, eldest son to the Earl of Corke / by the Honorable Robert Boyle, Esq.

destroy_v a_o little_a animal_n or_o at_o least_o make_v the_o air_n too_o intemperate_o hot_a to_o be_v fit_a for_o respiration_n but_o though_o this_o be_v a_o difficulty_n not_o so_o easy_o to_o be_v resolve_v without_o the_o assistance_n of_o our_o engine_n yet_o i_o suppose_v we_o have_v already_o answer_v the_o objection_n by_o our_o 38_o and_o 39_o experiment_n which_o though_o we_o make_v partly_o for_o other_o purpose_n yet_o we_o premise_v they_o only_o to_o clear_v up_o the_o difficulty_n propose_v another_o suspicion_n we_o shall_v have_v entertain_v concern_v the_o death_n of_o our_o animal_n namely_o that_o upon_o the_o sudden_a removal_n of_o the_o wont_a pressure_n of_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n the_o warm_a blood_n of_o those_o animal_n be_v bring_v to_o a_o effervescence_n or_o ebullition_n or_o at_o least_o so_o vehement_o expanded_a as_o to_o disturb_v the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o so_o disorder_v the_o whole_a oeconomy_n of_o the_o body_n this_o i_o say_v i_o shall_v have_v have_v some_o suspicion_n of_o but_o that_o animal_n of_o a_o hot_a constitution_n be_v not_o the_o sole_a one_o that_o can_v in_o our_o exhaust_a engine_n exercise_v the_o function_n of_o life_n but_o i_o must_v not_o now_o dwell_v upon_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n because_o i_o think_v it_o high_a time_n to_o proceed_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o principal_a subject_n of_o our_o engine_n namely_o the_o use_n of_o respiration_n or_o rather_o the_o use_n of_o the_o air_n in_o respiration_n for_o whereas_o of_o the_o divers_a use_n of_o it_o mention_v by_o anatomist_n the_o most_o such_o as_o the_o production_n and_o modulation_n of_o the_o voice_n by_o the_o elision_n of_o the_o air_n the_o larynx_n etc._n etc._n the_o

immoderate_a and_o this_o opinion_n not_o only_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o receive_v among_o scholastic_a writer_n but_o divers_a of_o the_o new_a philosopher_n cartesian_n and_o other_o admit_v with_o some_o variation_n teach_v that_o the_o air_n be_v necessary_a by_o its_o coldness_n to_o condense_a the_o blood_n that_o pass_v out_o of_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n into_o the_o

the_o heart_n and_o this_o opinion_n seem_v favour_v by_o this_o that_o fish_n and_o other_o cold_a creature_n who_o heart_n have_v but_o one_o cavity_n be_v also_o unprovided_a of_o lung_n and_o by_o

of_o age_n have_v yet_o a_o necessity_n of_o frequent_a respiration_n that_o a_o temperate_a air_n be_v fit_a for_o the_o generality_n of_o breathe_a creature_n and_o as_o a_o air_n too_o hot_a so_o also_o a_o air_n too_o cold_a may_v be_v inconvenient_a for_o they_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v trouble_v with_o a_o immoderate_a degree_n of_o the_o same_o quality_n which_o be_v predominant_a in_o the_o air_n that_o in_o some_o disease_n the_o natural_a heat_n be_v so_o weaken_a that_o in_o case_n the_o use_n of_o respiration_n be_v to_o cool_v it_o will_v be_v more_o hurtful_a than_o beneficial_a to_o breath_n and_o the_o suspending_a of_o the_o respiration_n may_v supply_v the_o place_n of_o those_o very_a hot_a medicine_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v employ_v in_o such_o

from_o grow_v destructive_a which_o the_o gentle_a and_o not_o the_o burn_a heat_n of_o a_o animal_n heart_n seem_v not_o intense_a enough_o so_o indispensable_o to_o require_v these_o and_o other_o

to_o the_o left_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n not_o only_o to_o temper_v its_o heat_n but_o to_o provide_v for_o the_o generation_n of_o spirit_n and_o these_o allege_v for_o themselves_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o ancient_n among_o who_o hypocrates_n seem_v manifest_o to_o favour_v their_o opinion_n and_o both_o aristotle_n and_o galen_n do_v sometime_o for_o methinks_v they_o speak_v doubtful_o enough_o appear_v inclinable_a to_o it_o but_o for_o aught_o ever_o i_o can_v see_v in_o dissection_n it_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o make_v out_o how_o the_o air_n be_v convey_v into_o

i_o design_v in_o mention_v the_o narrative_a i_o shall_v set_v down_o in_o his_o own_o word_n i_o therefore_o say_v he_o persuade_v myself_o that_o the_o element_n of_o the_o air_n be_v there_o so_o subtle_a and_o delicate_a as_o it_o be_v not_o proportionable_a with_o the_o breathe_n of_o man_n which_o require_v a_o more_o gross_a and_o temperate_a air_n and_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o do_v so_o much_o alter_v the_o stomach_n and_o trouble_v all_o the_o disposition_n thus_o far_o our_o author_n who_o word_n i_o mention_v that_o we_o may_v guess_v by_o what_o happen_v somewhat_o near_o the_o confine_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n though_o propable_o far_o from_o the_o surface_n of_o it_o what_o will_v happen_v beyond_o the_o atmosphere_n that_o which_o some_o of_o those_o that_o treat_v of_o the_o height_n of_o mountain_n relate_v out_o of_o aristotle_n namely_o that_o those_o that_o ascend_v to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n olympus_n can_v not_o keep_v themselves_o alive_a without_o carry_v with_o they_o wet_a sponge_n by_o who_o assistance_n they_o can_v respire_v in_o that_o air_n otherwise_o too_o thin_a for_o respiration_n that_o relation_n i_o say_v concern_v this_o mountain_n will_v much_o confirm_v what_o have_v be_v new_o recite_v out_o of_o acosta_n if_o we_o have_v sufficient_a reason_n to_o believe_v it_o but_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o very_o diffident_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o partly_o because_o when_o i_o pass_v the_o alps_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o no_o notible_a change_n betwixt_o the_o consistence_n of_o the_o air_n at_o the_o top_n and_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mountain_n partly_o because_o of_o a_o very_a punctual_a relation_n make_v by_o a_o english_a gentleman_n of_o his_o ascension_n on_o to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o pike_n of_o tenariff_n which_o be_v by_o great_a odds_o high_a than_o olympus_n i_o find_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o such_o difficulty_n of_o breathe_v and_o partly_o also_o because_o the_o same_o author_n tell_v we_o out_o of_o aristotle_n that_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o olympus_n there_o be_v no_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n insomuch_o that_o letter_n trace_v upon_o the_o dust_n have_v be_v after_o many_o year_n find_v legible_a and_o not_o discompose_v whereas_o that_o inquisitive_a busbequius_fw-la who_o be_v ambassador_n from_o the_o german_a to_o the_o turkish_a emperor_n in_o one_o of_o his_o eloquent_a epistle_n 3._o epist._n 3._o tell_v we_o upon_o his_o own_o knowledge_n that_o olympus_n may_v be_v see_v from_o constantinople_n blanch_v with_o perpetual_a snow_n which_o seem_v to_o argue_v that_o the_o top_n of_o that_o as_o well_o as_o of_o divers_a other_o tall_a hill_n be_v not_o above_o that_o region_n of_o the_o air_n wherein_o meteor_n be_v form_v though_o

but_o this_o might_n well_o be_v casual_a as_o be_v he_o have_v a_o clear_a air_n where_o he_o be_v though_o there_o be_v cloud_n not_o only_o beneath_o he_o but_o above_o he_o but_o though_o what_o have_v be_v hitherto_o discourse_v incline_v we_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o ventilation_n and_o depuration_n of_o the_o blood_n as_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a and_o constant_a use_n of_o respiration_n yet_o methinks_v it_o may_v be_v suspect_v that_o the_o air_n do_v something_o more_o than_o bare_o help_v to_o carry_v off_o what_o be_v throw_v out_o of_o the_o blood_n in_o its_o
