tantum locum habere, hoc est, quum aqua Auxum luum inchoat:
sed, ubi per tempus exisuum Auxum continuarie, aequali ripectu
bum lonsissimum, ac per brerem Auxurum. Ilujus sei ratio est, quod
altioris aquae presio eandem semper retinet rim, quodque omnem,
quem communicat, motum continuo opc graritatis recipis; et
ideo hunc motum continuo aquae in tubo contentae communica
bit, ulquedum, propulla, tantam recipit celeritatem, quantam
rim gearitatis aqua altior eitribuere potest. Cortum enim OA, (I
