1 8 8 Analyjis of the Air. 



fiance of the Lime is difTolved, by the affix- 

 fion of fome liquid, being thereby emanci- 

 pated, they are again at liberty to be influ- 

 enced and agitated by each other's attraction 

 and repulfion ; upon which a violent ebul- 

 lition enfues, from the adtion and re-adlion 

 of thefe particles ; which ebullition ceafes 

 not, till one part of the elaftick particles are 

 fubdued and fix'd by the ftrong attraction 

 of the fulphur, and the other part is got 

 beyond the fphere of its attraction, and 

 thereby thrown off into true permanent air: 

 And that this is a probable folution of the 

 matter, there is good reafon to conclude, 

 from the frequent inftances we have in many 

 of the foregoing Experiments, that plenty 

 of elaftick air is at the fame time borii gene- 

 rated and abforbed by the fame fermenting 

 mixture ; fome of which were obferved 

 to generate more air than they abforbed, 

 and others, e contra y abforbed more than 

 they generated, which was the cafe of 

 Lime.
