truly and exactly betwixt gold and gold, weighing sev- 

 erally (as above) and making a just and equal weight 

 in the air, the one balance being put into the water the 

 depth of five inches, and the other hanging in the air, 

 the balance in the water weigheth only four drams and 

 fifty-five grains, and abateth of the weight in the air 

 two drams and five grains. 



The trial being made betwixt lead and lead, weigh- 

 ing severally seven drams in the air, the balance in the 

 water weigheth only four drams and forty-one grains, 

 and abateth of the weight in the air two drams and 

 nineteen grains ; the balance kept the same depth in 

 the water as abovesaid. 



The trial being made betwixt silver and silver, 

 weighing severally seven drams in the air, the balance 

 in the water weigheth only four drams and twenty-five 

 grains. So it abateth two drams and thirty-five grains ; 

 the same depth in the water observed. 



In iron and iron, weighing severally each balance in 

 the air seven drams, the balance in the water weigheth 

 only four drams and eighteen grains ; and abateth of 

 the weight in the air two drams and forty-two grains ; 

 the depth observe as above. 



In stone and stone, the same weight of seven drams 

 equally in the air, the balance in the water weigheth 

 only two drams and twenty-two grains ; and abateth 

 of the weight in the air four drams and thirty-eight 

 grains ; the depth as above. 



In brass and brass, the same weight of seven drams 

 in each balance, equal in the air, the balance in the 

 water weigheth only four drams and twenty-two grains ; 

 and abateth in the water two drams and thirty-eight 

 grains ; the depth observed.
