For firſt we may know the capacity of the
<
lb
/>
Receiver wherein the Experiment is
<
lb
/>
made, ſince, by filling it with water, we
<
lb
/>
may eaſily compute how many Quarts, or
<
lb
/>
Meaſures of any other denomination, it
<
lb
/>
contains of Air; which Air, when ſhut
<
lb
/>
up in the Veſſel, may be ſuppoſ'd to have
<
lb
/>
a preſſure equal to that of the Atmo
<
lb
/>
ſphere; ſince it is able to keep the Quick
<
lb
/>
ſilver in the Tube from falling any lower
<
lb
/>
then it did in the free and open Air. </
s

<
s
>Next
<
lb
/>
here is given us the capacity of the braſs
<
lb
/>
Cylinder empty'd by the drawing down
<
lb
/>
of the Sucker (its bore and height being
<
lb
/>
mention'd in the deſcription of our Pump)
<
lb
/>
whereby we may come to know how
<
lb
/>
much of the Air contain'd in the Recei
<
lb
/>
ver is drawn out at the firſt ſuck. </
s
>
<
s
>And
<
lb
/>
we may alſo eaſily define, either in weight
<
lb
/>
or cubick meaſures the Cylinder of
<
lb
/>
Quick-ſilver that anſwers to the Cy
<
lb
/>
linder of Air lately mention'd (that
<
lb
/>
Mercuriall Cylinder being in our En
<
lb
/>
gine computable by deducting from
<
lb
/>
the entire altitude or that Cylinder of
<
lb
/>
Quick-ſilver, the altitude at which it reſts
<
lb
/>
upon the firſt exſuction.) But though, if
<
lb

this Experiment were very watchfully
