know_v a_o more_o likely_a hypothesis_n for_o gravity_n which_o i_o can_v make_v out_o by_o experiment_n i_o shall_v at_o present_a proceed_v to_o other_o query_n content_v myself_o to_o have_v here_o only_o give_v a_o hint_n of_o what_o i_o may_v elsewhere_o determine_v a_o three_o query_n than_o be_v whether_o the_o heterogeneity_n of_o the_o ambient_fw-la fluid_fw-la may_v not_o be_v account_v a_o secondary_a cause_n of_o the_o roundness_n or_o globular_a form_n of_o the_o great_a body_n of_o the_o world_n such_o as_o be_v those_o of_o the_o sun_n star_n and_o planet_n the_o substance_n of_o each_o of_o which_o seem_v altogether_o heterogeneous_a to_o the_o circum-ambient_a fluid_a aether_n a_o four_o be_v whether_o the_o globular_a form_n of_o the_o small_a parcel_n of_o matter_n here_o upon_o the_o earth_n as_o that_o of_o fruit_n pebble_n or_o f●ints_n &c._n &c._n which_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v a_o liquor_n at_o first_o may_v not_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o heterogeneous_a ambient_fw-la fluid_fw-la for_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o melt_a glass_n will_v be_v natural_o form_v into_o a_o round_a figure_n so_o likewise_o any_o small_a parcel_n of_o any_o fusible_a body_n if_o it_o be_v perfect_o enclose_v by_o the_o air_n will_v be_v drive_v into_o a_o globular_a form_n and_o when_o cold_a will_v be_v find_v a_o solid_a ball._n this_o be_v plain_o enough_o manifest_v to_o we_o by_o their_o way_n of_o make_v shoot_v with_o the_o drop_n of_o lead_n or_o a_o shower_n of_o rain_n congeal_v in_o its_o fall_n into_o hailstone_n and_o if_o you_o gentle_o let_v fall_v a_o drop_n of_o water_n upon_o small_a sand_n or_o dust_n you_o shall_v find_v as_o it_o be_v a_o artificial_a round_a stone_n quick_o generate_v i_o can_v upon_o this_o occasion_n omit_v the_o mention_v of_o the_o strange_a kind_n of_o grain_n which_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o a_o stone_n bring_v from_o kettering_n in_o northamptonshire_n and_o therefore_o call_v by_o mason_n kettering-stone_n like_v to_o which_o be_v find_v also_o at_o tormanton_n near_o to_o sudberry_n in_o glocestershire_n for_o i_o find_v it_o to_o consist_v of_o a_o great_a number_n of_o small_a and_o almost_o globular_a parcel_n of_o matter_n which_o to_o my_o naked_a eye_n look_v much_o like_o the_o cob_n or_o spawn_n of_o a_o herring_n though_o through_o a_o microscope_n it_o look_v like_o a_o great_a beach_n of_o round_a pibble_n stone_n such_o as_o i_o have_v often_o see_v by_o the_o seashore_n some_o of_o which_o i_o perceive_v to_o be_v hollow_a much_o like_o the_o break_a shell_n of_o granade_n which_o bring_v into_o my_o mind_n what_o i_o long_o since_o observe_v in_o the_o fiery_a spark_n that_o be_v strike_v out_o of_o a_o flint_n etc._n etc._n for_o have_v a_o great_a desire_n to_o see_v what_o be_v leave_v behind_o after_o the_o spark_n be_v go_v out_o i_o purposely_o strike_v fire_n over_o a_o very_a white_a piece_n of_o paper_n and_o observe_v diligent_o where_o some_o conspicuous_a spark_n go_v out_o i_o find_v a_o very_a little_a black_a spot_n no_o big_a than_o the_o point_n of_o a_o pin_n which_o through_o a_o microscope_n appear_v to_o be_v a_o perfect_o round_a ball_n look_v much_o like_o a_o polish_a ball_n of_o steel_n insomuch_o that_o i_o be_v able_a to_o see_v the_o image_n of_o the_o window_n reflect_v from_o it_o make_v the_o like_a observation_n in_o very_a many_o other_o i_o find_v some_o to_o be_v hollow_a and_o to_o look_v like_o the_o break_a shell_n of_o grandee_n much_o like_o that_o represent_v in_o the_o four_o figure_n i_o can_v here_o stay_v to_o examine_v the_o particular_a reason_n of_o it_o but_o shall_v only_a hint_n that_o i_o imagine_v it_o to_o be_v some_o small_a parcel_n of_o the_o flint_n or_o steel_n for_o i_o find_v it_o may_v be_v of_o either_o which_o by_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o stroke_n most_o of_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v impress_v upon_o those_o small_a parcel_n be_v make_v so_o glow_v hot_a that_o it_o be_v melt_v into_o a_o vitrum_fw-la which_o by_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n be_v drive_v into_o a_o round_a globul_n a_o five_o thing_n which_o i_o think_v worth_a examination_n be_v whether_o the_o motion_n of_o all_o kind_n of_o spring_n may_v not_o be_v reduce_v to_o the_o principle_n whereby_o the_o include_v heterogeneous_a fluid_n seem_v to_o be_v move_v or_o to_o that_o whereby_o two_o solid_n as_o marble_n or_o the_o like_a be_v thrust_v and_o keep_v together_o by_o the_o ambient_fw-la fluid_fw-la a_o six_o thing_n be_v whether_o the_o rise_n and_o ebullition_n of_o the_o water_n out_o of_o spring_n &_o fountain_n which_o lie_v much_o high_a from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n than_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o sea_n from_o whence_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v

find_v in_o it_o several_a difficulty_n almost_o irremoveable_a i_o think_v upon_o a_o way_n that_o will_v much_o more_o natural_o and_o conceiveable_o explain_v it_o which_o be_v by_o this_o follow_a experiment_n i_o take_v a_o glass_n tube_n of_o the_o form_n of_o that_o describe_v in_o the_o 6_o figure_n and_o choose_v two_o heterogeneous_a fluid_n such_o as_o water_n and_o oil_n i_o pour_v in_o as_o much_o water_n as_o fill_v up_o the_o pipe_n as_o high_a as_o a._n b._n then_o put_v in_o some_o oil_n into_o the_o tube_n a._n c._n i_o depress_v the_o superficies_n a._n of_o the_o water_n to_o

the_o gravity_n of_o these_o two_o liquor_n be_v as_o g._n h._n to_o f._n e._n this_o experiment_n i_o try_v with_o several_a other_o liquor_n and_o particular_o with_o fresh_a water_n and_o salt_n which_o we_o make_v by_o dissolve_v salt_n in_o warm_a water_n which_o two_o though_o they_o be_v nothing_o heterogeneous_a yet_o before_o they_o will_v perfect_o mix_v one_o with_o another_o i_o make_v trial_n of_o the_o experiment_n nay_o let_v the_o tube_n wherein_o i_o try_v the_o experiment_n remain_v for_o many_o day_n i_o observe_v they_o not_o to_o mix_v but_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o fresh_a be_v rather_o more_o than_o less_o elevate_v above_o that_o of_o the_o salt_n now_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o gravity_n of_o sea-water_n to_o that_o of_o riverwater_n according_a to_o stevinus_n and_o varenius_n for_o i_o have_v not_o now_o the_o opportunity_n of_o make_v trial_n myself_o be_v as_o 46._o to_o 45._o that_o be_v 46._o ounce_n of_o the_o salt-water_n will_v take_v up_o no_o more_o room_n than_o 45_o of_o the_o fresh_a or_o reciprocal_o 45_o pint_n of_o salt_n water_n weigh_v as_o much_o as_o 46_o of_o fresh_a though_o i_o conceive_v the_o difference_n to_o be_v much_o more_o for_o i_o find_v the_o proportion_n of_o brine_n to_o fresh_a water_n to_o be_v near_o 13_o to_o 12_o suppose_v therefore_o g._n h._n m._n to_o represent_v the_o sea_n and_o

to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o one_o of_o those_o that_o have_v vent_v it_o have_v experimental_o know_v the_o perpendicular_a of_o either_o nor_o shall_v i_o here_o determine_v whether_o there_o may_v not_o be_v many_o other_o cause_n of_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o fresh_a water_n from_o the_o salt_n as_o perhaps_o some_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n through_o which_o it_o be_v to_o pass_v may_v contain_v a_o salt_n that_o mix_v and_o unite_n with_o the_o sea_n salt_n

may_v precipitate_v it_o much_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o alkalizate_n and_o acid_n salt_n mix_v and_o precipitate_v each_o other_o in_o the_o preparation_n of_o tartarum_fw-la vitriolatum_fw-la i_o know_v not_o also_o whether_o the_o exceed_a cold_a that_o must_v necessary_o be_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o water_n may_v not_o help_v towards_o this_o separation_n for_o we_o find_v that_o warm_a water_n be_v able_a to_o dissolve_v and_o contain_v more_o salt_n than_o the_o same_o cold_a insomuch_o that_o brines_n strong_o impregnate_v by_o heat_n if_o let_v cool_a do_v suffer_v much_o of_o their_o salt_n to_o subside_n and_o crystallise_v about_o the_o bottom_n and_o side_n i_o know_v not_o also_o whether_o the_o exceed_a pressure_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o water_n one_o against_o another_o may_v not_o keep_v the_o salt_n from_o descend_v to_o the_o very_a bottom_n as_o find_v little_a or_o no_o room_n to_o insert_v itself_o between_o those_o part_n protrude_v so_o violent_o together_o or_o else_o squeeze_v it_o upward_o into_o the_o superior_a part_n of_o the_o sea_n where_o it_o may_v more_o easy_o obtain_v room_n for_o itself_o among_o the_o part_n of_o the_o water_n by_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v more_o heat_n and_o less_o pressure_n to_o this_o opinion_n i_o be_v somewhat_o the_o more_o induce_v by_o the_o relation_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o several_a geographical_a writer_n of_o draw_v fresh_a water_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v salt_n above_o i_o can_v now_o stand_v to_o examine_v whether_o this_o natural_a perpetual_a motion_n may_v not_o artificial_o be_v imitate_v nor_o can_v i_o stand_v to_o answer_v the_o objection_n which_o may_v be_v make_v against_o this_o my_o supposition_n as_o first_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v sometime_o salt_n spring_v much_o high_a than_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n and_o second_o why_o spring_n do_v not_o run_v fast_o and_o flower_n according_a to_o the_o vary_a height_n make_v of_o the_o cylinder_n of_o sea-water_n by_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n as_o to_o the_o first_o in_o short_a i_o say_v the_o fresh_a water_n may_v receive_v again_o a_o saline_a tincture_n near_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o pass_v through_o some_o salt_n mine_n or_o else_o many_o of_o the_o saline_a part_n of_o the_o sea_n may_v be_v keep_v back_o though_o not_o all_o and_o as_o to_o the_o second_o the_o same_o spring_n may_v be_v feed_v and_o supply_v by_o divers_a cavern_n come_v from_o very_o far_o distant_a part_n of_o the_o sea_n so_o as_o that_o it_o may_v in_o one_o place_n be_v high_a in_o another_o low_a water_n and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o spring_n may_v be_v equal_o supply_v at_o all_o time_n or_o else_o the_o cavern_n may_v be_v so_o straight_o and_o narrow_a that_o the_o water_n not_o have_v so_o ready_a and_o free_a passage_n through_o it_o can_v upon_o so_o short_a and_o
