Wherefore the next Morning, ho
ping to inform our ſelves better, we
went about to repeat the Experiment,
but though we could as well as former
ly exhauſt the Receiver, though the
place wherein we made the tryal was the
very ſame; and though other Circum
ſtances were reſembling, yet we could
not diſcover the leaſt appearance of
Light all that Day, nor on divers o
thers on which tryal was again fruitleſ
ly made; nor can we to this very time
be ſure a Day before hand that theſe
Flaſhes will be to be ſeen in our great
Receiver. Nay, having once found the
Engine in a good humour (if I may
ſo ſpeak) to ſhew this trick, and ſent
notice of it to our Learned Friend
Doctor Wallis, who expreſſ'd a great
