except the Milk^ Cream, and BUod^ remained good and without any 
notable alteration after a confiderable time: But the Milk^upon giv- 
ing an accefs to the Air^afcer 3 tnonechs time, was found,though well 
colored, yet turned partly into a kind of Whey, and partly into a 
kind of foft Curd : The Cream, at a years end, appeared to be more 
thick andButter-like at the top than other-where,and by a little £ha- 
king was foon reduced to Butter ; And the £/iK?^,i hough for one or

Gf tbeSe'^r, thus exhaufted and fecured from the Air,it was remar-

Fftga Vacui to be the Caufe of the raifing of liquors in Sufiion, and
