jacent Water, gave us cau&longs;e to think <lb/>
that if our Pipe had not been broken it <lb/>
would have expanded it &longs;elf much fur<lb/>

Tube, and found that be&longs;ides the twenty <lb/>
&longs;ix divi&longs;ions formerly mention'd, the <lb/>
Gla&longs;s bubble and &longs;ome part of the Pipe <lb/>
to which the divided Parchment did not <lb/>
reach, amounted to &longs;ix divi&longs;ions more. <lb/>

up one and thirty times as much room as <lb/>
before, and yet &longs;eem'd capable of a much <lb/>
greater expan&longs;ion, if the Gla&longs;s would <lb/>
have permitted it. </s> <s>Wherefore, after the <lb/>
former manner, we let in another bubble, <lb/>
that by our gue&longs;s was but half as big as <lb/>
the former, and found, that upon the ex<lb/>
&longs;uction of the Air from the Receiver, this <lb/>
little bubble did not onely fill up the <lb/>
whole Tube, but (in part) break through <lb/>
the &longs;ubjacent Water in the Viol, and <lb/>
thereby manife&longs;t it &longs;elf to have po&longs;&longs;e&longs;&longs;ed <lb/>
&longs;ixty and odde times its former room. </s></p>
