A46979	An essay concerning a vacuum Wherein is endeavoured to be demonstrated, that a vacuum interspersum runs through the world, and is more or less in all bodies. By a lover of the corpuscular philosophy.	Jackson, Joseph, fl. 1695-	1697 (1697)	Wing J85A; ESTC R219986	17,337	61

in_o the_o middle_n of_o a_o marble_n stone_n i_o shall_v make_v but_o small_a haste_n to_o get_v out_o and_o yet_o marble_n be_v not_o by_o far_o so_o close_o as_o the_o world_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v without_o a_o vacuum_n suppose_v some_o place_n be_v fill_v with_o die_n or_o cubical_a body_n set_v close_a and_o in_o order_n how_o shall_v those_o that_o lie_n under_o be_v capable_a of_o

they_o there_o be_v no_o empty_a room_n to_o get_v into_o but_o all_o solid_a substance_n so_o that_o if_o you_o will_v not_o allow_v two_o body_n in_o one_o place_n you_o must_v be_v force_v to_o
