CHAP. V.
The Eximiners last Experiment considered, in which he argues against the Author's Hypothesis, because Mercury is not suck'd out of a Vessel through a Tube so easily as Water is, p. 11, 12. An Experiment of Monsieur Paschall shewing, that if the upper part of a Tube could be freed from the pressure of all internal Air, the Mercury would by the pressure of the outward Air be carried up into the Tube as well as Water, till it had attained a height great enough to make its weight equal to that of the Atmosphere, p. 13. Why in a more forcible respiration the Mercurial Cylinder is raised higher than in a more languid, p. 14. A Remark by the bie, That the contraction of the Ad∣versaries supposed Funiculus is not felt upon the Lungs, p. 15.
