that_o water_n be_v easy_o lead_v to_o any_o height_n source_n if_o impel_v by_o any_o force_n through_o a_o close_a pipe_n or_o by_o a_o sucker_n but_o why_o water_n contain_v within_o the_o short_a arm_n shall_v yield_v to_o water_v contain_v within_o the_o long_a may_v just_o be_v doubt_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o water_n contain_v within_o the_o long_a pipe_n be_v more_o in_o quantity_n be_v heavy_a than_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o prevail_v and_o be_v more_o dispose_v for_o to_o be_v press_v downward_o but_o than_o you_o may_v reply_v that_o the_o water_n of_o the_o short_a pipe_n be_v assist_v in_o weight_n by_o the_o other_o proportion_n contain_v within_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o vessel_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o water_n of_o the_o short_a arm_n be_v impel_v forward_o through_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o say_a water_n contain_v within_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o vessel_n but_o not_o through_o its_o own_o gravity_n press_v downward_o towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n for_o every_o proportion_n of_o water_n as_o i_o say_v before_o retain_v the_o nature_n of_o their_o universal_a element_n only_o strive_v for_o to_o maintain_v its_o own_o centre_n and_o therefore_o water_n if_o enjoy_v a_o centre_n within_o its_o own_o circumference_n wherever_o it_o be_v do_v not_o press_v or_o weigh_v but_o strive_v to_o maintain_v its_o nature_n in_o rest_n but_o that_o which_o do_v cause_n a_o force_n upon_o water_n downward_o in_o the_o vessel_n be_v the_o strong_a sink_v down_o of_o the_o air_n tend_v downward_o for_o its_o

vii_o attraction_n by_o filtration_n be_v perform_v by_o cause_v one_o end_n of_o a_o piece_n of_o flannel_n or_o other_o woollen_a cloth_n to_o hang_v into_o any_o liquor_n over_o the_o brim_n of_o

this_o be_v effect_v by_o separate_v the_o thick_a part_n of_o water_n and_o rarefy_v it_o through_o the_o label_n subtle_a fibre_n whence_o the_o other_o heavy_a part_n of_o the_o water_n by_o descend_v downward_o and_o be_v press_v by_o the_o air_n do_v over-press_a its_o subtle_a and_o aerial_a part_n upward_o the_o grosser_n and_o heavy_a remain_v behind_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o filtration_n and_o other_o kind_n of_o attraction_n already_o mention_v be_v not_o so_o much_o attraction_n as_o violent_a expulsion_n as_o the_o water_n of_o a_o sucker_n will_v not_o run_v out_o unless_o the_o long_a arm_n exceed_v the_o depth_n of_o the_o water_n in_o length_n so_o neither_o will_v water_v attract_v by_o a_o filter_n distil_v down_o into_o the_o empty_a vessel_n unless_o the_o distil_a label_n be_v low_a than_o the_o water_n contain_v within_o the_o other_o vessel_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n viii_o attraction_n effect_v by_o amber_n or_o other_o
