of_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o nature_n and_o as_o for_o the_o peripatetic_n and_o other_o school-philosopher_n though_o on_o some_o occasion_n as_o when_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o water_n weigh_v not_o in_o water_n nor_o air_n in_o air_n they_o deliver_v assertion_n about_o matter_n belong_v to_o the_o hydrostaticks_n which_o term_n in_o this_o treatise_n i_o often_o take_v in_o a_o large_a

be_v but_o few_o treatise_n write_v about_o the_o hydrostaticks_n and_o those_o common_o bind_v up_o among_o other_o mathematical_a work_n and_o so_o write_v as_o to_o require_v mathematical_a reader_n this_o useful_a part_n of_o philosophy_n have_v be_v scarce_o know_v any_o far_a than_o by_o name_n to_o the_o genèrality_n even_o of_o those_o learned_a man_n that_o have_v be_v

eminent_a man_n that_o have_v of_o late_a year_n treat_v of_o matter_n hydrostatical_a have_v be_v prepossess_v with_o some_o errenous_a opinion_n of_o the_o peripatetic_a school_n and_o find_v it_o difficult_a to_o consult_v experience_n about_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o conclusion_n have_v interweave_v divers_a erroneous_a doctrine_n among_o the_o sound_a proposition_n which_o they_o either_o

rescue_n of_o so_o valuable_a a_o discipline_n by_o publish_v the_o ensue_a tract_n where_o i_o endeavour_v to_o disprove_v the_o receive_a error_n by_o establish_v paradox_n còntrary_a to_o they_o and_o to_o make_v the_o truth_n the_o better_o understand_v and_o receive_v partly_o by_o away_o of_o explicate_v they_o unemployed_a in_o hydrostatical_a book_n and_o partly_o by_o confirm_v the_o

the_o paradox_n oppose_v to_o the_o error_n i_o will_v disprove_v take_v occasion_n by_o the_o same_o way_n to_o make_v out_o some_o of_o the_o useful_a of_o those_o hydrostatical_a truth_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o seem_v strange_a to_o beginner_n if_o it_o be_v here_o demand_v why_o i_o have_v make_v some_o of_o my_o explication_n so_o prolix_a and_o have_v on_o several_a occasion_n inculcate_v some_o thing_n i_o answer_v that_o those_o who_o be_v not_o use_v to_o read_v mathematical_a book_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v so_o indispose_v to_o apprehend_v thing_n that_o must_v be_v explicate_v by_o

than_o i_o before_o imagine_v both_o with_o the_o principle_n and_o theorem_n of_o hydrostaticks_n and_o with_o the_o way_n of_o explicate_v and_o prove_v they_o that_o i_o fear_v that_o neither_o the_o paradox_n themselves_o that_o i_o maintain_v nor_o the_o hypothesis_n about_o the_o weight_n and_o pressure_n of_o the_o air_n upon_o which_o little_o less_o than_o my_o whole_a pneumatical_a book_n depend_v will_v be_v thorough_o understand_v without_o such_o a_o clear_a explication_n of_o some_o hydrostatical_a theorem_n as_o to_o a_o person_n not_o verse_v in_o mathematical_a write_n can_v scarce_o be_v satisfactory_o deliver_v in_o few_o word_n and_o therefore_o though_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v that_o those_o who_o be_v good_a at_o the_o most_o compendious_a way_n of_o demonstrate_v will_v think_v i_o may_v in_o divers_a place_n have_v spare_v many_o word_n without_o injury_n to_o my_o proof_n and_o though_o i_o be_o myself_o of_o the_o same_o mind_n i_o expect_v to_o find_v they_o of_o yet_o i_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o choice_n that_o i_o declind_v that_o close_a and_o concise_a way_n of_o writing_n that_o in_o other_o case_n i_o be_o wont_n most_o to_o esteem_v for_o write_v now_o not_o to_o credit_v myself_o but_o to_o instruct_v other_o i_o have_v rather_o geometrician_n shall_v not_o commend_v the_o shortness_n of_o my_o proof_n then_o that_o those_o other_o reader_n who_o i_o chief_o design_v to_o gratify_v shall_v not_o thorough_o apprehend_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o which_o i_o be_o to_o excuse_v myself_o to_o mathematical_a reader_n for_o some_o of_o they_o i_o fear_v will_v not_o like_v that_o i_o shall_v offer_v for_o proof_n such_o physical_a experiment_n as_o do_v not_o always_o demonstrate_v the_o thing_n they_o will_v evince_v with_o a_o mathematical_a certainty_n and_o accurateness_n and_o much_o less_o will_v they_o approve_v that_o i_o shall_v annex_v such_o experiment_n to_o confirm_v the_o explication_n as_o if_o supposition_n and_o scheme_n well_o reason_v on_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o rational_a man_n about_o matter_n hydrostaticall_a in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o must_v represent_v that_o in_o physical_a inquiry_n it_o be_v often_o sufficient_a that_o our_o determination_n come_v very_o near_o the_o matter_n though_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o a_o mathematical_a exactness_n and_o i_o choose_v rather_o to_o presume_v upon_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o reader_n then_o to_o trouble_v he_o and_o myself_o with_o tedious_a circumlocution_n to_o avoid_v the_o possibility_n of_o be_v misunderstand_v or_o of_o need_v his_o candour_n and_o we_o see_v that_o even_o mathematician_n be_v wont_a without_o find_v any_o

and_o consequent_o a_o plain_a though_o in_o strictness_n themselves_o think_v it_o the_o portion_n of_o a_o sphere_n and_o though_o also_o i_o have_v usual_o observe_v it_o to_o be_v high_o where_o it_o be_v almost_o contiguous_a to_o the_o side_n of_o the_o vessel_n then_o it_o be_v in_o other_o place_n moreover_o since_o we_o find_v that_o though_o water_n will_v be_v uniform_o raise_v in_o

have_v about_o such_o demonstration_n as_o they_o be_v wont_n to_o be_v apply_v to_o physical_a matter_n and_o in_o the_o present_a paradox_n i_o think_v i_o have_v not_o do_v nothing_o if_o in_o my_o hydrostatical_a explication_n i_o have_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o in_o experiment_n make_v with_o such_o liquor_n and_o glass_n as_o i_o employ_v the_o rule_n will_v hold_v without_o any_o sensible_a or_o at_o least_o any_o considerable_a error_n for_o thereby_o we_o may_v learn_v the_o truth_n of_o many_o thing_n for_o the_o main_a though_o in_o some_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v

i_o to_o promise_v a_o experiment_n which_o seem_v to_o contradict_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o hydrostaticks_n be_v not_o any_o distrust_n of_o those_o principle_n themselves_o but_o a_o conjecture_n that_o as_o by_o warmth_n the_o water_n will_v be_v make_v a_o little_o light_a in_o specie_fw-la then_o it_o be_v before_o so_o by_o the_o same_o warmth_n the_o spirituous_a and_o more_o agitable_a part_n of_o the_o wax_n who_o texture_n be_v loose_a enough_o will_v be_v somewhat_o though_o not_o visible_o expanded_a and_o will_v by_o that_o expansion_n gain_v a_o great_a advantage_n towards_o float_v than_o the_o increase_v lightness_n of_o the_o water_n will_v give_v it_o disposition_n to_o sink_v and_o i_o confirm_v this_o conjecture_n by_o a_o far_a experiment_n which_o at_o first_o be_v itself_o somewhat_o surprise_v to_o the_o beholder_n for_o when_o the_o wax_n be_v first_o take_v out_o of_o the_o cold_a water_n &_o immediate_o immerse_v in_o the_o warm_a it_o will_v ready_o enough_o sink_v &_o be_v with_o a_o quill_n or_o a_o knife_n raise_v to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o water_n it_o will_v again_o fall_v down_o but_o more_o slow_o then_o at_o the_o begin_n &_o aftersome_a few_o minute_n if_o it_o be_v raise_v to_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o water_n it_o will_v remain_v a_o float_n and_o i_o have_v know_v it_o when_o it_o have_v remain_v a_o while_n long_o at_o the_o bottom_n so_o to_o emerge_n that_o if_o i_o be_v sure_o no_o unheeded_a bubble_n have_v be_v new_o generate_v and_o hold_v it_o up_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o emerge_n of_o its_o own_o accord_n as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v put_v into_o the_o cold_a water_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o warm_a it_o will_v at_o the_o very_a first_o float_n and_o be_v then_o knock_v downward_o it_o will_v ready_o enough_o regain_v the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o water_n but_o if_o i_o continue_v to_o send_v it_o downward_o about_o 6_o or_o 7_o time_n more_o or_o few_o successive_o it_o will_v emerge_n every_o time_n more_o slow_o than_o other_o and_o at_o length_n not_o emerge_n at_o all_o even_o when_o i_o try_v it_o in_o water_n make_v heavy_a by_o be_v high_o infrigidate_v with_o salt_n and_o snow_n place_v about_o the_o glass_n which_o phaenomena_n i_o have_v think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o expect_v because_o i_o presume_v that_o the_o wax_n be_v remove_v immediate_o out_o of_o the_o warm_a water_n into_o the_o cold_a must_v require_v some_o time_n to_o loose_v the_o adventitious_a expansion_n which_o the_o warmth_n have_v give_v it_o and_o must_v be_v deprive_v of_o it_o by_o degree_n by_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o water_n into_o which_o the_o wax_n be_v transfer_v as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o must_v be_v some_o time_n necessary_a for_o so_o little_a a_o warmth_n as_o that_o of_o the_o tepid_a or_o little_o more_o than_o tepid_a water_n to_o give_v the_o wax_n that_o addition_n of_o dimension_n which_o also_o it_o must_v receive_v by_o degree_n that_o be_v necessary_a in_o spite_n of_o the_o rarefaction_n of_o the_o water_n to_o make_v it_o float_v i_o may_v add_v that_o these_o trial_n be_v repeat_v for_o the_o main_a with_o more_o bullet_n of_o wax_n then_o one_o and_o that_o they_o succeed_v far_o otherwise_o when_o instead_o of_o a_o piece_n of_o wax_n we_o employ_v a_o poise_v glass_n bubble_n in_o which_o the_o temperature_n can_v make_v either_o no_o change_n at_o all_o or_o no_o considerable_a change_n of_o dimension_n and_o to_o these_o i_o may_v add_v other_o circumstance_n if_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o i_o mention_v these_o trial_n but_o occasional_o and_o to_o make_v the_o caution_n former_o recommend_v to_o the_o reader_n appear_v not_o to_o be_v impertinent_a since_o a_o hydrostatical_a experiment_n true_a in_o its_o self_n may_v easy_o miscarry_v by_o overlook_a such_o circumstance_n as_o it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o be_v aware_a of_o but_o by_o this_o advertisement_n i_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n divert_v man_n from_o be_v diffident_a of_o hydrostatical_a tradition_n and_o experiment_n for_o beside_o the_o many_o erroneous_a opinion_n there_o be_v matter_n of_o
