In Libra parium brachiorum sint in aequilibrio pondus D
et vas E liquo aquam continens, in qua nalat
aliud vas  tum
Oq. cavitatem  vamam sustentata,
sit in imo vasit rasculi foramen charta si placet vel simili alius
materia obturatum, quae initio aquam excludat, paulatim.
vero transmittat uibi ergo aqua vasculum implevert;
descendet et durante descensu vasculi F, cum pondus ejus
no non amplius sustineatur a pondere D, vincet hoc pondus
a vase E, neque adeo a pondere D Descendet pondus d, et
ascendet vas E donec ad aequi vasculum F fundum
attigerit, quo facto ad aequilibrium r
redibitur
Hinc colligitur causa paradoxi, cur aer
pluvius sit levior, quam viri nonnulli docti
subinuuerunt, etsi e nonnullis viris
egregiis jam indicatir nec amplias
cum barometro aequilibrium faciat,
jam indicatla a a viris quibusdam
egregiis jam subindicata, sed non
satis delucide exposita. Nempe
columa aeris GH, usque ad supdemum atmosphae
raeaereae assurgens et aequilibrium

descendentibus ubi non amplius sustinebit
aquam in ea dispersam et rarefactam

sint autem in aere lispersae aquae perricula
tam exiguae at nim o descendendi non habeant
sed sustententur Edem et quidem ideo quod nimil haben

primum fieri posse, ut quamdia scostinet aer aquae
parsiculas in ipso dilatatas sustinet; sed bi non mp
au aqua non amplias b Ubi vero aqua cadere
incipit,  non amplius sustinebitur ab aere,
