The Reflections that may be made up

and otherwiſe emulate the nature of a
Liquor; which I therefore point at, that
it may appear the leſs ſtrange, if we ſome
times ſpeak of the Atmoſphere as of a
kinde of Liquor, in compariſon of that
more thin and ſubtle Celeſtial Matter that
ſurrounds it.

of ſpeaking of the Atmoſphere ſhould
be thought too bold and extra

Experiment of the Diſcourſe former-
