the_o earth_n be_v natural_o a_o body_n consist_v of_o gross_a and_o heavy_a part_n that_o be_v usual_o much_o less_o agitate_a than_o those_o of_o our_o organ_n of_o feel_v it_o shall_v as_o to_o

that_o seem_v of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o likely_a to_o put_v its_o part_n into_o a_o unusual_a motion_n and_o thereby_o change_v its_o natural_a temper_n that_o our_o proposition_n be_v also_o

of_o the_o advertisement_n intimate_v in_o the_o close_a of_o our_o above_o deliver_v proposition_n that_o this_o coldness_n ascribe_v to_o the_o second_o region_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v to_o be_v

gather_v from_o this_o that_o i_o can_v never_o hear_v of_o any_o ice_n meet_v with_o there_o at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o year_n though_o snow_n or_o hail_n may_v be_v produce_v in_o the_o middle_a

far_o enough_o into_o this_o region_n that_o they_o find_v the_o cold_a any_o where_o very_o great_a or_o that_o in_o some_o place_n they_o have_v find_v it_o at_o all_o considerable_a as_o we_o

that_o they_o pass_v through_o unless_o i_o particular_o ask_v a_o question_n about_o such_o a_o thing_n but_o for_o aught_o i_o can_v gather_v from_o their_o spontaneous_a relation_n they_o feel_v in_o summertime_n a_o remission_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o external_a air_n assoon_o as_o ever_o they_o begin_v to_o descend_v which_o warmth_n do_v not_o so_o far_o decrease_v as_o to_o

that_o be_v often_o employ_v about_o lead-mine_n that_o at_o such_o depth_n as_o according_a to_o morinus_n the_o second_o region_n of_o the_o earth_n reach_v to_o he_o himself_o observe_v it_o to_o

the_o middle_a region_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o sense_n mean_v in_o the_o proposition_n shall_v not_o be_v of_o the_o same_o temperature_n in_o all_o place_n not_o only_o because_o of_o the_o

by_o its_o great_a or_o lesser_a compactnesse_n upon_o which_o account_n some_o soil_n be_v rocky_a or_o stony_a and_o other_o light_n and_o spungy_a but_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o spring_n

to_o consider_v that_o nature_n do_v not_o regulate_v herself_o under_o ground_n by_o our_o imaginary_a division_n but_o without_o take_v notice_n of_o they_o produces_z marchasite_n salt_n and_o other_o mineral_n most_o frequent_o perhaps_o in_o what_o we_o call_v the_o low_a region_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o yet_o sometime_o to_o in_o our_o upper_a region_n and_o oftentimes_o in_o our_o

to_o send_v out_o a_o refrigerate_v effluvium_fw-la or_o by_o its_o contact_n to_o cool_v the_o air._n let_v we_o also_o suppose_v that_o by_o the_o side_n of_o another_o well_o of_o the_o same_o

and_o since_o during_o the_o time_n that_o marchasite_n be_v slow_o dissolve_v it_o have_v be_v observe_v according_a to_o what_o we_o have_v elsewhere_o deliver_v heat_n deliver_v

of_o the_o famous_a pearl-fishing_a near_o the_o island_n of_o manar_n between_o that_o and_o the_o coast_n of_o coromandell_n which_o reach_v near_o if_o not_o full_o to_o the_o cape_n of_o comoris_n

the_o hot_a part_n of_o summer_n and_o coldness_n of_o winter_n &_o with_o hermetical_o seal_a weatherglass_n in_o order_n to_o the_o discovery_n of_o such_o particular_n as_o these_o whether_o there_o be_v in_o some_o sea_n any_o such_o vary_a difference_n of_o temperature_n as_o may_v invite_v we_o at_o least_o in_o some_o place_n to_o make_v more_o than_o two_o submarine_n region_n whether_o the_o submarine_n coldness_n do_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n or_o elsewhere_o either_o equal_a or_o surpass_v that_o degree_n which_o we_o here_o find_v sufficient_a to_o freez●_n common_a water_n whether_o the_o part_n of_o the_o sea-water_n be_v still_o the_o cold_o as_o they_o be_v the_o deep_a and_o whether_o or_o no_o this_o increase_n of_o coldness_n be_v regular_a enough_o to_o be_v reducible_a to_o any_o settle_a proportion_n but_o for_o the_o resolve_v of_o these_o and_o the_o like_a question_n i_o do_v not_o causelesse_o intimate_v that_o a_o seal_a weatherglass_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v for_o i_o take_v a_o common_a one_o to_o be_v altogether_o unfit_a for_o such_o purpose_n not_o only_o because_o the_o sea-water_n will_v mingle_v with_o such_o

instead_o of_o ordinary_a liquor_n but_o chief_o because_o the_o incumbent_a sea-water_n will_v gravitate_fw-la upon_o the_o restagnant_fw-la liquor_n of_o the_o weatherglass_n and_o thereby_o render_v its_o information_n false_a or_o uncertain_a according_a to_o what_o i_o have_v have_v occasion_n to_o observe_v in_o another_o tract_n whereto_o that_o there_o may_v not_o in_o this_o place_n be_v any_o need_n to_o recur_v i_o shall_v add_v a_o slight_a experiment_n that_o i_o make_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o some_o ingenious_a man_n not_o w●ll_n acquaint_v with_o

resist_v the_o ascension_n of_o the_o subjacent_a mercury_n more_o than_o indeed_o it_o will_n we_o make_v then_o a_o small_a weatherglass_n differ_v from_o common_a one_o beside_o the_o bigness_n in_o that_o it_o be_v turnish_v with_o mercury_n instead_o of_o water_n and_o in_o that_o we_o employ_v to_o contain_v the_o stagnant_a mercury_n a_o glass_n vial_n with_o a_o narrow_a neck_n

descend_v deep_a and_o deep_o into_o the_o water_n the_o mercury_n be_v press_v up_o high_a and_o high_o in_o the_o stem_n and_o that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v suspect_v that_o this_o ascension_n proceed_v only_o or_o chief_o from_o the_o refrigeration_n of_o the_o air_n by_o the_o water_n i_o shall_v add_v to_o what_o i_o have_v just_a now_o note_v that_o though_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o

i_o think_v fit_a to_o admonish_v the_o spectator_n of_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o the_o mercury_n shall_v rise_v as_o much_o in_o proportion_n when_o it_o be_v for_o example_n a_o foot_n under_o water_n as_o when_o it_o be_v but_o two_o or_o three_o inch_n because_o according_a as_o the_o instrument_n be_v let_v down_o deep_o and_o the_o air_n crowd_v into_o a_o less_o
