Wherein are contained many select and curious observations and novel experiments relating to husbandry and fruit-trees. With the best and most natural rules and methods for the making of cider, and other English-liquors. To which is added, an essay towards the discovery of the original of fountains and springs. / by J.W. ...	Worlidge, John, fl. 1660-1698.; Worlidge, John, fl. 1660-1698.

that_o opinion_n be_v ground_v it_o will_v not_o be_v difficult_a to_o wave_v it_o and_o embrace_v a_o more_o probable_a for_o many_o be_v induce_v to_o believe_v that_o all_o perennial_a fountain_n

the_o pressure_n of_o the_o air_n on_o the_o same_o which_o to_o i_o seem_v a_o very_a great_a mistake_n because_o if_o you_o fill_v the_o tube_n with_o quicksilver_n and_o with_o your_o finger_n or_o a_o piece_n of_o leather_n stop_v the_o open_a end_n thereof_o then_o invert_v the_o tube_n and_o suffer_v rhe_n quicksilver_n to_o strain_v out_o at_o very_o small_a passage_n below_o it_o will_v descend_v equal_o to_o the_o same_o height_n as_o if_o the_o end_n be_v place_v in_o a_o stagnum_n of_o the_o same_o quicksilver_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v the_o pressure_n of_o the_o air_n without_o on_o the_o stagnum_n that_o must_v support_v the_o cilind_a of_o quicksilver_n in_o the_o tube_n for_o in_o case_n also_o that_o you_o fill_v a_o tube_n with_o a_o small_a bolt-head_n on_o it_o with_o quicksilver_n and_o invert_v it_o that_o whilst_o you_o stop_v the_o low_a end_n the_o tube_n be_v even_o full_a as_o in_o the_o barometer_n yet_o when_o you_o remove_v your_o finger_n the_o quicksilver_n will_v descend_v so_o far_o as_o the_o extend_a air_n will_v permit_v it_o which_o will_v be_v much_o low_a than_o that_o in_o the_o barometer_n now_o if_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n on_o the_o stagnant_a quicksilver_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ascent_n of_o the_o cilind_a of_o quicksilver_n within_o then_o will_v that_o arise_v in_o the_o head_a tube_n equal_o as_o high_a as_o it_o do_v in_o the_o barometer_n for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o weight_n of_o so_o small_a a_o quantity_n of_o air_n in_o the_o head_n shall_v depress_v that_o which_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v support_v by_o a_o great_a weight_n without_o as_o be_v pretend_v beside_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o any_o warmth_n artificial_o apply_v
