it is weighed in the Water, returneth to F: which point ſhall be

nearer to the point C, as Experience ſheweth, becauſe the Silver

is leſs grave than the Gold: And the Diſtance that is between

by reaſon it participates of Gold, it ſhall weigh more than the

pure Silver: and therefore being weighed in the Air, and deſiring

that the ſame Counterpoiſe ſhould counterpoiſe it, when that

Mixture ſhall be put into the Water it will be neceſſary to draw

the ſaid Counterpoiſe more towards the Perpendicular C, than the

point E is, which is the term of the Gold; and more from C

than F is, which is the term of the pure Silver; Therefore it ſhall
<
lb

fall between the points E and F: And the proportion into which
