tre, and Salt (whereof we fhall {peak hereafter) would be transferred'to the 
turning of Air into Water. The fecond way is by Comprefion ; as in Stilla- 
f tories, » here the Vapor is turned back, upon it felf, by the Encounter of | 
| the Sides of the Stillatory; and inthe Dew upon the Covers of Boiling Pots ;

Vapors with Air; and trying if they will not bring a Return ofmore Wa- 
ter, than the Water was at firft: For if fo, That Increafe isa Verfion of the 
| Air; Therefore put VVater into the bottom of a Stillatory, with the Neb

| Spunge ; and fee what quantity of VVater you can crufh butof it; and what: 
itis, more, Or lefs, compared with the VVater {pent;: for you mutt under- 
ftand, that if any Verfion can be wrought, it will be eafilydone infmall 
| Pores: Andthatis the reafon why we prefetibe a Spunge. © The fourth way 
) is probable alfo, though not appearing ; which is, by receiving the /irinto

_ | tityis more eafie for Verfion; and Tangible Bodies have no plealureinthe 
| confort of Air, but endeavor tofuba@ it intoa more Denfe Body: But in 
Entire Bodies it is checked; becaufe, if the Air fhould Condenfe, there is no- } 
thing tofucceed: Therefore itmuft bein loofe Bodies, as Sand, and Pow- }
