A29057	Tracts written by the Honourable Robert Boyle containing New experiments, touching the relation betwixt flame and air, and about explosions, an hydrostatical discourse occasion'd by some objections of Dr. Henry More against some explications of new experiments made by the author of these tracts : to which is annex't, An hydrostatical letter, dilucidating an experiment about a way of weighing water in water, new experiments, of the positive or relative levity of bodies under water, of the air's spring on bodies under water, about the differing pressure of heavy solids and fluids.; Selections. 1672	Boyle, Robert, 1627-1691.	1672 (1672)	Wing B4060; ESTC R10383	110,756	442

according_a to_o my_o opinion_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o phaenomenon_n be_v clear_a enough_o without_o meddle_v with_o the_o potentia_fw-la of_o the_o air._n for_o if_o we_o conceive_v a_o
