be_v that_o if_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o water_n press_v upon_o the_o low_a the_o low_a will_v be_v condense_v but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o water_n consist_v of_o part_n though_o minute_n yet_o very_o solid_a it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v since_o in_o a_o heap_n of_o the_o powder_n of_o diamond_n the_o low_a be_v no_o more_o compress_v than_o the_o

plant_n grow_v in_o the_o sea_n without_o be_v depress_v yet_o that_o happen_v because_o the_o pressure_n be_v not_o only_a incumbent_n but_o collateral_a likewise_o and_o so_o contribute_v to_o
