1the Glaſs was weaken'd) the Impriſon'd
Air began to ſwell in the Bladder, and as
more and more of the Air in the Recei­
ver was, from time to time, drawn out; ſo
did that in the Bladder more and more ex­
pand it ſelf, and diſplay the folds of the
formerly flaccid Bladder: ſo that before we
had exhauſted the Receiver near ſo much
as we could, the Bladder appear'd as full
and ſtretched, as if it had been blown up
with a Quill.
And that it may appear that this plump­
neſs of the Bladder proceeded from the
ſurmounting of the debilitated Spring of
the ambient Air remaining in the Veſſel,
by the ſtronger Spring of the Air remain­
ing in the Bladder; we Return'd the Key
of the Stop-cock, and by degrees allow'd
the external Air to return into the Recei­
ver: Whereupon it happen'd, as was ex­
pected, that as the Air came in from with­
out, the diſturb'd Air in the Bladder, was
proportionably compreſſ'd into a narrow­
er room, and the ſides of the Bladder
grew flaccid, till the Receiver having re­
admitted its wonted quantity of Air, the
Bladder appear'd as full of wrinkles and
cavities as before.
