Note J Tiiai; tiie Learned Dr» Edv^/d Bernard m his late Ac- 
count of W'V/^foi and Mcaf-^reSy agrees nearly in the Capa« 
city of Epha^ with what Dr. Cumberland has determitied ; ^for 
he makes the Cz/^d' of the E^gltjh Fool to contain 76 A Tro^ 
of Spring- water^ and the £/.^ or rather to contain 7 5 
fucj Pomdsy (b that it is a Pound l«fs than the C//fe of a FooP 
Englijhy which Dr. Cumber Lmd has ftated about 1 2 Ounces of 
Water more than the (aid O^^d' : And whereas Dv, Bernard 
iaySj the 'Efha contains 9 Gallons, 'tis a plain niiftake of the 
Prmtery of 9 for 7 ; for the Cd e of a Foot , which is by his 
own account greater than E/?/;^, fcarce holds 7 Gallons and 
half, fiich as by Statute are to contain 2'^! Cuk Inches. As
