one_o a._n what_o i_o want_v of_o experiment_n you_o may_v supply_v out_o of_o your_o own_o store_n or_o such_o natural_a history_n as_o you_o know_v to_o be_v true_a though_o i_o can_v be_v well_o content_a with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o every_o body_n see_v common_o produce_v let_v we_o therefore_o now_o inquire_v the_o cause_n of_o some_o effect_v particular_a b._n we_o will_v begin_v with_o that_o which_o be_v the_o most_o universal_a the_o universe_n and_o inquire_v in_o the_o first_o place_n if_o any_o place_n be_v absolute_o empty_a that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o language_n of_o philosopher_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o vacuum_n in_o nature_n cap._n iii_o of_o vacuum_n a._n it_o be_v hard_a to_o suppose_v and_o hard_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o infinite_a and_o omnipotent_a creator_n of_o all_o thing_n shall_v make_v a_o work_n so_o vast_a as_o be_v the_o world_n we_o see_v and_o leave_v a_o few_o little_a space_n with_o nothing_o at_o all_o in_o they_o which_o put_v altogether_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o whole_a creature_n will_v be_v insensible_a b._n why_o say_v you_o that_o do_v you_o think_v any_o argument_n can_v be_v draw_v from_o it_o to_o prove_v there_o be_v vacuum_n a._n why_o not_o for_o in_o so_o great_a a_o agitation_n of_o natural_a body_n may_v not_o some_o small_a part_n of_o they_o be_v cast_v out_o and_o leave_v the_o place_n empty_a from_o whence_o they_o be_v throw_v b._n because_o he_o that_o create_v they_o be_v not_o a_o fancy_n but_o the_o most_o real_a substance_n that_o be_v who_o be_v infinite_a there_o can_v be_v no_o place_n empty_a where_o he_o be_v nor_o full_a where_o he_o be_v not_o a._n it_o be_v hard_a to_o answer_v this_o argument_n because_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v any_o argument_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o vacuum_n in_o the_o write_n of_o divine_n therefore_o i_o will_v quit_v that_o argument_n and_o come_v to_o another_o if_o you_o take_v a_o glass_n vial_n with_o a_o narrow_a neck_n and_o have_v suck_v it_o dip_v it_o present_o at_o the_o neck_n into_o a_o basin_n of_o water_n you_o shall_v manifest_o see_v the_o water_n rise_v into_o the_o vial._n be_v not_o this_o a_o certain_a sign_n that_o you_o have_v suck_v out_o some_o of_o the_o air_n and_o consequent_o that_o some_o part_n of_o the_o vial_n be_v leave_v empty_a b._n no_o for_o when_o i_o be_o about_o to_o suck_v and_o have_v air_n in_o my_o mouth_n contract_v my_o cheek_n i_o drive_v the_o same_o against_o the_o air_n in_o the_o glass_n and_o thereby_o against_o every_o part_n of_o the_o side_n of_o the_o hard_a glass_n and_o this_o give_v to_o the_o air_n within_o a_o endeavour_n outward_a by_o which_o if_o it_o be_v present_o dip_v into_o the_o water_n it_o will_v penetrate_v and_o enter_v into_o it_o for_o air_n if_o it_o be_v press_v will_v enter_v into_o any_o fluid_a much_o more_o into_o water_n therefore_o there_o shall_v rise_v into_o the_o vial_n so_o much_o water_n as_o there_o be_v air_n force_v into_o the_o basin_n a._n this_o i_o confess_v be_v possible_a and_o not_o improbable_a b._n if_o suck_a will_v make_v vacuum_n what_o will_v become_v of_o those_o woman_n that_o be_v nurse_n shall_v they_o not_o be_v in_o a_o very_a few_o day_n exhaust_v be_v it_o not_o that_o either_o the_o air_n which_o be_v in_o the_o child_n mouth_n penetrate_v the_o milk_n as_o it_o descend_v and_o pass_v through_o it_o or_o the_o breast_n be_v contract_v a._n from_o what_o experiment_n can_v you_o evident_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n b._n from_o many_o and_o such_o as_o to_o almost_o all_o man_n be_v know_v and_o familiar_a if_o two_o hard_a body_n flat_a and_o smooth_a be_v join_v together_o in_o a_o common_a superficies_n parallel_v to_o the_o horizontal_n plain_n you_o can_v without_o great_a force_n pull_v they_o asunder_o if_o you_o apply_v your_o force_n perpendicular_o to_o the_o common_a superficies_n but_o if_o you_o place_v that_o common_a superficies_n erect_v to_o the_o horizon_n they_o will_v fall_v asunder_o with_o their_o own_o weight_n from_o whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o since_o their_o contiguity_n in_o what_o posture_n soever_o be_v the_o same_o and_o that_o they_o can_v be_v pull_v asunder_o by_o a_o perpendicular_a force_n without_o let_v in_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n in_o a_o instant_n which_o be_v impossible_a or_o almost_o in_o a_o instant_n which_o be_v difficult_a and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o the_o common_a superficies_n be_v erect_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o same_o hard_a body_n be_v able_a to_o break_v the_o contiguity_n and_o let_v in_o the_o air_n successive_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o difficulty_n of_o separation_n proceed_v from_o this_o that_o neither_o air_n nor_o any_o other_o body_n can_v be_v move_v to_o any_o how_o small_a soever_o distance_n in_o a_o instant_n but_o may_v easy_o be_v move_v the_o hardness_n at_o the_o side_n once_o master_v successive_o so_o that_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o difficulty_n of_o separation_n be_v this_o that_o they_o can_v be_v part_v except_o the_o air_n or_o other_o matter_n can_v enter_v and_o fill_v the_o space_n make_v by_o their_o diremption_n and_o if_o they_o be_v infinite_o hard_a not_o at_o all_o and_o hence_o also_o you_o may_v understand_v the_o cause_n why_o any_o hard_a body_n when_o it_o be_v sudden_o break_v be_v hear_v to_o crack_v which_o be_v the_o swift_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n to_o fill_v the_o space_n between_o another_o experiment_n and_o common_o know_v be_v of_o a_o barrel_n of_o liquor_n who_o tap-hole_n be_v very_o little_a and_o the_o bung_v so_o stop_v as_o to_o admit_v no_o air_n for_o then_o the_o liquor_n will_v not_o run_v but_o if_o the_o tap-hole_n be_v large_a it_o will_v because_o the_o air_n press_v by_o a_o heavy_a body_n will_v pierce_v through_o it_o into_o the_o barrel_n the_o like_a reason_n hold_v of_o a_o gardener_n watering-pot_n when_o the_o hole_n in_o the_o bottom_n be_v not_o too_o great_a a_o three_o experiment_n be_v this_o turn_v a_o thin_a brass_n kettle_n the_o bottom_n upward_o and_o lay_v it_o flat_a upon_o the_o water_n it_o will_v sink_v till_o the_o water_n rise_v within_o to_o a_o certain_a height_n but_o no_o high_o yet_o let_v the_o bottom_n be_v perforate_v and_o the_o kettle_n will_v be_v full_a and_o sink_v and_o the_o air_n rise_v again_o through_o the_o water_n without_o but_o if_o a_o bell_n be_v so_o lay_v on_o it_o will_v be_v fill_v and_o sink_v though_o it_o be_v not_o perforate_v because_o the_o weight_n be_v great_a than_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o same_o bulk_n of_o water_n a._n by_o these_o experiment_n without_o any_o more_o i_o be_o convince_v that_o there_o be_v not_o actual_o in_o nature_n any_o vacuum_n but_o i_o be_o not_o sure_a but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v make_v some_o little_a place_n empty_a and_o this_o from_o two_o experiment_n one_o whereof_o be_v torricellius_n his_o experiment_n which_o be_v this_o take_v a_o cylinder_n of_o glass_n hollow_a throughout_o but_o close_o at_o the_o end_n in_o form_n of_o a_o
