the_o same_o weight_n yet_o they_o be_v nothing_o near_o of_o the_o same_o bulk_n the_o bubble_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o capacious_a cavity_n which_o contain_v nothing_o but_o air_n or_o something_o

i_o may_v god_n permit_v send_v you_o they_o at_o my_o next_o leisure_n and_o though_o our_o english_a air_n be_v about_o a_o thousand_o time_n light_a than_o water_n the_o difference_n in_o weight_n of_o so_o little_a air_n as_o be_v but_o equal_a in_o bulk_n to_o a_o bubble_n seem_v to_o give_v small_a hope_n that_o it_o will_v be_v sensible_a upon_o a_o balance_n yet_o by_o make_v the_o

to_o ratify_v and_o drive_v out_o the_o air_n as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a because_o in_o such_o seal_a bubble_n the_o air_n itself_o as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o show_v have_v a_o weight_n yet_o the_o advantage_n countervail_v not_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o be_v oblige_v to_o increase_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o glass_n which_o when_o it_o include_v high_o ratify_v air_n if_o it_o be_v

inform_v that_o i_o have_v sometime_o instead_o of_o one_o sufficient_o large_a bubble_n make_v use_v of_o two_o that_o be_v small_a and_o though_o a_o single_a bubble_n of_o competent_a bigness_n be_v much_o preferable_a by_o reason_n that_o a_o far_o less_o quantity_n and_o weight_n of_o glass_n be_v requisite_a to_o comprise_v a_o equal_a capacity_n when_o the_o glass_n be_v blow_v into_o

that_o they_o may_v for_o a_o need_n serve_v the_o turn_n instead_o of_o the_o other_o than_o which_o they_o be_v much_o easy_a to_o be_v procure_v this_o instrument_n may_v be_v much_o improve_v by_o divers_a accommodation_n as_o one_a there_o may_v be_v fit_v to_o the_o ansa_fw-la or_o check_n of_o the_o balance_n a_o arch_n of_o a_o circle_n divide_v into_o 15_o or_o 20_o degree_n more_o or_o

with_o long_o stand_v 4thly_a instead_o of_o the_o scale_n the_o bubble_n may_v be_v hang_v at_o one_o end_v of_o the_o beam_n and_o only_o a_o counterpoise_n to_o it_o at_o the_o other_o that_o the_o

hole_n at_o the_o top_n for_o the_o commerce_n of_o the_o internal_a and_o external_a air_n will_v be_v more_o free_a from_o dust_n and_o irregular_a agitation_n to_o the_o latter_a of_o which_o it_o will_v otherwise_o be_v sometime_o liable_a 6thly_a this_o instrument_n be_v accommodate_v with_o a_o light_a wheel_n and_o a_o index_n may_v be_v make_v to_o show_v much_o more_o minute_n variation_n than_o otherwise_o 7thly_a the_o length_n of_o the_o beam_n and_o exquisitness_v of_o the_o balance_n may_v easy_o without_o any_o of_o the_o forego_n help_v and_o much_o more_o with_o they_o make_v the_o instrument_n far_o exacter_n than_o those_o i_o be_v reduce_v to_o employ_v and_o to_o these_o accommodation_n divers_a other_o may_v be_v suggest_v by_o a_o further_a consideration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n though_o in_o some_o respect_v the_o statical_a baroscope_n be_v inferior_a to_o the_o mercurial_a yet_o in_o other_o it_o have_v its_o own_o advantage_n and_o conveniency_n about_o it_o at_o first_o it_o confirm_v ad_fw-la oculum_fw-la our_o former_a doctrine_n that_o the_o fall_n and_o rise_v of_o the_o mercury_n depend_v upon_o the_o vary_a weight_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n since_o in_o this_o baroscope_n it_o can_v be_v pretend_v that_o a_o fuga_fw-la vacui_fw-la or_o a_o funiculus_fw-la be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o change_n we_o observe_v 2_o it_o show_v that_o not_o only_o the_o air_n have_v weight_n but_o a_o more_o considerable_a one_o than_o some_o learned_a man_n who_o will_v allow_v i_o to_o have_v prove_v that_o it_o have_v some_o

of_o gold_n scales_n and_o a_o bubble_n or_o two_o than_o a_o long_a cane_n seal_v a_o quantity_n of_o mercury_n and_o all_o the_o other_o requisite_n of_o the_o mercurial_a baroscope_n especial_o if_o we_o comprise_v the_o trouble_n and_o skill_n that_o be_v requisite_a to_o free_v the_o desert_a part_n of_o the_o tube_n from_o
air._n 4thly_a and_o whereas_o the_o difficulty_n of_o remove_v the_o mercurial_a instrument_n have_v keep_v man_n from_o so_o much_o as_o attempt_v to_o do_v it_o even_o to_o neighbour_a place_n the_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o scale_n baroscope_n for_o the_o frame_n be_v none_o of_o they_o may_v very_o easy_o in_o a_o little_a room_n be_v carry_v wheresoever_o one_o will_v without_o the_o

the_o weight_n and_o dimension_n of_o the_o glassy_a substance_n which_o together_o with_o the_o include_v air_n make_v up_o the_o bubble_n much_o may_v be_v discover_v by_o this_o instrument_n as_o to_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o air_n absolute_a or_o respective_a for_o when_o the_o mercury_n in_o the_o mercurial_a baroscope_n be_v either_o very_a high_a or_o very_o low_a or_o at_o a_o middle_a

to_o the_o light_a scale_n till_o you_o have_v again_o bring_v the_o balance_n to_o a_o equilibrium_n you_o may_v i_o say_v determine_v what_o know_a weight_n in_o the_o statical_a baroscope_n answer_v such_o determinate_a altitude_n of_o the_o ascend_a and_o descend_v mercury_n in_o the_o mercurial_a and_o if_o your_o balance_n be_v accommodate_v with_o a_o divide_a arch_n or_o a_o wheel_n and_o index_n these_o observation_n will_v assist_v you_o for_o the_o future_a to_o determine_v by_o see_v the_o inclination_n of_o the_o tongue_n or_o the_o degree_n mark_v by_o the_o index_n to_o

these_o little_a paper_n be_v come_v to_o a_o window_n where_o my_o baroscope_n stand_v so_o unlucky_o shake_v they_o out_o of_o the_o scale_n and_o confound_v they_o that_o he_o rob_v i_o of_o the_o

mercury_n in_o the_o baroscope_n there_o stand_v at_o 29½_n inches_n we_o may_v conclude_v the_o gravity_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n not_o to_o be_v sensible_o unequal_a in_o both_o those_o two_o
