ferr'd (as eaſily I might) that, if the Ex

periment could be try'd in our Engine, the

Quick-ſilver would ſubſide below 27 Di

gits, in proportion to the exſuction of
<
lb

Air, that ſhould be made out of the Re

ceiver. </

<
s

to the Receiver, it does (according to
<

what hath above been taught) continue

lb

there as ſtrongly compreſſ'd, as it did

whil'ſt all the incumbent Cylinder of the

Atmoſphere lean'd immediatly upon it;
<
lb

becauſe the Glaſs, wherein it is pent up,
<

hinders it to deliver it ſelf, by an expanſi

on of its parts, from the preſſure where

with it was ſhut up. </

fectly draw the Air out of the Receiver,

it would conduce as well to our purpoſe,
