t;ure to the greateft degree of Drought ? Now fuppofef 
find the Hygrofcope reprefented in the Figure to have two 
compleat Revolutions (this is to be found by obfervation 
throughout a whole year J I fay then the way of redlify- 
ingitisthus. 
In Fig* .2 the Index B. has two Compleat turns/ 
the point -^. as being fixt has no turn or motion, there- 
fore the middle paint G. has but one turn, and confe- 
quently if I hang it up at the point G. or no longer then 
G D. half the former length, the Index D. will have but 
one turn. What is here laid of two turns and the mid- 
dle point G. may be accommodated to any other number 
of turns and parts, and points in the Rope, 
Laftly, vS», we may in this experiment perceive fome 
thing that may help us in the confideration of the 
ftrength and motion of the Mufcles ot Animals j for take 
Gord able to fuftaiu' an Hundred pound weight, by 
the weak Fume orSteam ot warm water this weight fli'all 
be lifted up; for if this Steam turn the weight (asmofi: 
certainly it will do, if the Rope be of any moderate 
length,) the weight is as certainly lifted up thereby as by 
afcrew, as is evident to any one that confidersit. If 
therefore fuch mighty performances can be produced by 
the application of fuch mean agents, as we all know and 
are canverfant with, what fhall we think is too great 
for thofe parts which God has contrived and framed in the 
Bodysof Animals f
