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

without_o the_o least_o injury_n to_o truth_n and_o without_o much_o if_o any_o prejudice_n to_o his_o own_o philosophy_n and_o though_o not_o confine_v myself_o to_o any_o sect_n i_o do_v not_o

they_o and_o since_o man_n have_v usual_o the_o fondness_n of_o father_n for_o the_o offspring_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n i_o see_v not_o why_o cartesius_n himself_o may_v not_o have_v overlooked_a the_o bad_a inference_n that_o may_v be_v draw_v from_o his_o principle_n if_o indeed_o they_o afford_v any_o such_o since_o divers_a learned_a and_o not_o a_o few_o pious_a person_n and_o profess_a

i_o remember_v that_o i_o have_v more_o than_o once_o take_v strong_a oil_n of_o vitriol_n and_o common_a oil_n of_o turpentine_n and_o wary_o mix_v they_o in_o a_o certain_a proportion_n by_o shake_v

know_v it_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o most_o fish_n be_v still_o actual_o cold_a and_o i_o remember_v i_o find_v the_o blood_n even_o of_o those_o i_o dissect_v alive_a to_o be_v so_o from_o whence_o must_v man_n will_v argue_v that_o even_o in_o the_o vast_a sea-monster_n there_o can_v be_v make_v no_o explosion_n these_o be_v still_o effect_v by_o or_o accompany_v with_o a_o intense_a degree_n of_o heat_n it_o be_v incongruous_a to_o my_o design_n to_o examine_v this_o difficulty_n as_o it_o direct_o regard_v the_o explosion_n say_v to_o be_v make_v in_o animal_n but_o speak_v of_o

it_o be_v not_o impossible_a though_o it_o seem_v very_o unlikely_a that_o explosion_n shall_v be_v make_v upon_o the_o mixture_n of_o body_n which_o whilst_o they_o seem_v to_o put_v one_o another_o into_o a_o state_n of_o effervescence_n be_v real_o cold_a nay_o cold_o than_o before_o their_o be_v mingle_v of_o these_o odd_a kind_n of_o mixture_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v in_o another_o air._n
