can fee OLjefis little lefs diftindly, then by Glafs Mi- 
crofcopes, efpecially by Candle, which I find much bet- 
ter then Day -light. 
• Experiment 3. But I obferved, that thofe Irregular 
Particles, which were inherent in the Globules of Glafs, 
mentioned in the firft Experiment, were feen diftindly 
and prodigioufly magnified, as was eafie to imagine, 
both from their nearnefs to the Eye, and that they did 
not hinder the Globules either by Day or Candle-light, 
from appearing throughout Tranfparent, being fo mi- 
nute as not to be difcernable, except held dole to the 
Eye, as in time of Obftrvation, and not then neither, 
if too near the light, but at a Competent diftance, 
they appeared as above-faid. I knew not well how at 
that time to account for this ftrange Phenomenon, that 
an Objed: fhould be placed fo far within the Focus of a 
Spherule, as to be within the Glafs, and yet feen di- 
ftin€Hy to the Eye fo near it ; but fince by matter 
of fad:, I found it was fo , I made this Infe- 
rence, and concluded, that if I conveyed a fmall Glo- 
bule of Water to my Eye, and that there were any 
opacous or left tranfparent Particles then the Water 
therein, I might fee them diftindly. 
Experiment 4. Having by me a fmall Bottle of Wa- 
ter, which I knew to have in it fome of thofe Minute 
Infecls, which the defervedly famous Obfervator Mr. 
Leewenhoek Difcovered, by the help of Excellent 
Microfcopes : Having feen them with the common 
Glafs Microfcopes, and with the firft Aqueous, as above- 
mentioned, I poured a few Drops of this Water on the 
Table, and taking a fmall Portion thereof on a Pin, I 
laid it on the end of a fmall piece of Brafs Wire (there 
lay then by me) of about one tenth of an Inch^Di- 
ameter ; I continued to lay on two or three Portions
