A48262	Mathematicall recreations. Or, A collection of many problemes, extracted out of the ancient and modern philosophers as secrets and experiments in arithmetick, geometry, cosmographie, horologiographie, astronomie, navigation, musick, opticks, architecture, statick, mechanicks, chemistry, water-works, fire-works, &c. Not vulgarly manifest till now. Written first in Greeke and Latin, lately compi'ld in French, by Henry Van Etten, and now in English, with the examinations and augmentations of divers modern mathematicians whereunto is added the description and use of the generall horologicall ring: and the double horizontall diall. Invented and written by William Oughtred.; Récréation mathématique. English.	Oughtred, William, 1575-1660. aut	1653 (1653)	Wing L1790; ESTC R217635	140,825	339

or_o water_n cast_v into_o the_o water_n will_v not_o sink_v to_o the_o bottom_n but_o swim_v easy_o and_o if_o a_o ship_n have_v not_o iron_n and_o other_o ponderosity_n in_o it_o it_o may_v swim_v

in_o the_o vast_a ocean_n and_o be_v come_v into_o the_o port_n or_o harbour_n without_o any_o tempest_n will_v sink_v down_o right_a the_o cause_n of_o this_o be_v that_o a_o vessel_n may_v carry_v more_o upon_o some_o kind_n of_o water_n than_o upon_o other_o now_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v thick_a and_o heavy_a than_o that_o of_o river_n well_n or_o fountain_n therefore_o the_o load_n of_o a_o vessel_n which_o be_v account_v sufficient_a in_o the_o sea_n become_v too_o great_a in_o the_o hurbour_n or_o sweet_a water_n now_o some_o think_v that_o it_o be_v the_o depth_n of_o the_o water_n that_o make_v vessel_n more_o easy_a to_o swim_v but_o it_o be_v a_o abuse_n for_o if_o the_o load_n of_o a_o ship_n be_v no_o heavy_a than_o the_o water_n that_o will_v occupy_v that_o place_n the_o ship_n shall_v as_o easy_o swim_v upon_o that_o water_n as_o if_o it_o do_v swim_v upon_o a_o thousand_o fathom_n deep_a of_o water_n and_o if_o the_o water_n be_v no_o thick_a than_o a_o leaf_n of_o paper_n and_o weigh_v but_o a_o ounce_n under_o a_o heavy_a body_n it_o will_v support_v it_o as_o well_o as_o if_o the_o water_n under_o it_o weigh_v ten_o thousand_o pound_n weight_n hence_o it_o be_v if_o there_o be_v a_o vessel_n capable_a of_o a_o little_a more_o than_o a_o thousand_o pound_n weight_n of_o water_n you_o may_v put_v into_o this_o vessel_n a_o piece_n of_o wood_n which_o shall_v weigh_v a_o thousand_o pound_n weight_n but_o light_a in_o his_o kind_n than_o the_o like_a of_o magnitude_n of_o water_n for_o then_o pour_v in_o but_o a_o quart_n of_o water_n or_o a_o very_a little_a quantity_n of_o water_n the_o wood_n will_v swim_v on_o the_o top_n of_o it_o provide_v that_o the_o wood_n touch_v not_o the_o side_n of_o the_o vessel_n which_o be_v a_o fine_a

of_o the_o water_n which_o weigh_v as_o much_o as_o it_o for_o all_o body_n may_v swim_v without_o sink_v if_o they_o occupy_v the_o place_n of_o water_n equal_a in_o weight_n unto_o they_o as_o if_o it_o weigh_v 12_o pound_n it_o must_v have_v the_o place_n of_o 12_o pound_n of_o water_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o see_v float_v upon_o the_o water_n great_a vessel_n of_o copper_n or_o brass_n when_o they_o be_v hollow_v in_o form_n of_o a_o cauldron_n and_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o conceive_v of_o island_n in_o the_o sea_n that_o swim_v and_o float_v be_v it_o not_o that_o they_o
