body_n to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o liquor_n and_o find_v it_o to_o be_v about_o eight_o inch_n and_o the_o quicksilver_n be_v pour_v out_o the_o fly_n appear_v to_o be_v so_o lively_a and_o vigorous_a that_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o if_o we_o have_v have_v a_o long_a glass_n the_o experiment_n have_v be_v much_o more_o considerable_a but_o when_o afterward_o i_o be_v able_a to_o procure_v a_o

repeat_v the_o experiment_n with_o one_o of_o the_o best_a we_o can_v take_v of_o the_o abovementioned_a size_n and_o order_v the_o matter_n so_o that_o the_o mercury_n incumbent_a on_o she_o for_o there_o be_v some_o beneath_o she_o appear_v to_o be_v of_o a_o great_a height_n than_o the_o former_o employ_v tube_n be_v of_o we_o see_v she_o move_v one_o or_o other_o of_o her_o little_a leg_n divers_a time_n though_o the_o tube_n be_v hold_v upright_o and_o therefore_o measure_v the_o height_n of_o the_o mercury_n above_o she_o we_o find_v it_o to_o amount_v to_o 16_o inch_n and_o better_a and_o then_o free_v she_o from_o this_o pressure_n we_o observe_v that_o she_o immediate_o find_v her_o leg_n again_o and_o move_v up_o and_o down_o brisk_o enough_o but_o when_o she_o be_v load_v with_o 23_o or_o 24_o inch_n of_o the_o same_o quicksilver_n though_o the_o liquor_n be_v soon_o after_o pour_v out_o she_o give_v no_o sign_n of_o life_n which_o i_o suspect_v may_v happen_v not_o so_o much_o from_o she_o have_v be_v oppress_v by_o the_o greatness_n of_o her_o weight_n as_o from_o the_o great_a care_n of_o the_o operator_n to_o let_v down_o the_o mercury_n very_o oblique_o and_o wary_o upon_o she_o and_o this_o i_o be_v the_o rather_o confirm_v in_o because_o have_v get_v a_o other_o fly_n of_o about_o the_o same_o bigness_n though_o when_o she_o be_v at_o the_o

present_o appear_v to_o be_v alive_a by_o walk_v about_o and_o beginning_n to_o display_v her_o wing_n though_o the_o pillar_n of_o mercury_n that_o have_v lean_v upon_o she_o amount_v to_o above_o 27_o inch_n and_o i_o presume_v the_o success_n will_v have_v be_v much_o more_o considerable_a if_o the_o experiment_n have_v be_v try_v in_o the_o summer_n when_o these_o creature_n be_v brisk_a and_o lively_a and_o not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o winter_n beside_o that_o probable_o these_o little_a animal_n be_v hurt_v or_o weaken_a by_o the_o violence_n that_o will_v scarce_o fail_v to_o

by_o it_o and_o probable_o will_v have_v escape_v under_o a_o much_o great_a weight_n if_o the_o tube_n which_o be_v too_o large_a have_v not_o already_o employ_v all_o the_o stock_n of_o mercury_n we_o then_o have_v at_o hand_n but_o i_o do_v presume_v that_o what_o we_o do_v try_v will_n be_v available_a to_o our_o purpose_n since_o we_o see_v clear_o that_o so_o small_a a_o animal_n as_o a_o
