_How to dispose 2 vessels upon one foot, the one being
        empty, and the other almost full of wine, and yet shall
           not runne out of the vessell, unlesse you fill the
                 empty vessel with water, and then the
                   one shall run pure wine, the other
                             fayre water._

Let there bee 2 vessels placed upon one foot, having a hollow cane
passing from one to the other (as I taught in the precedent probleme)
but let there bee 2 cranes as F, G, one in each vessell; then fill one
of the vessels with wine, but not above the crane, so it will not runne
of it selfe: but if you powre water into the other vessell, untill it
bee full, it will cause that wine shall runne out of the one, and
cleare water out of the other.

         _To make that the water conteined in one vessell, shal
             ascend into another vessell placed above it._

Let A, B, C, D, bee a vessell having a partition in the middle, as E,
F, let there be placed upon this vessell, a Cylinder of Glasse cleare,
and very transparant, that will contayne the same quantity of water,
that one of the partitions will, as I, G, H; in the lowermost partition
towards the bottome, let there bee a cocke, and out of the same vessell
let two pipes be made to passe, the one wherof reacheth almost unto the
top of the Cylinder, the other must come out by the side of the
Cylinder: also out of the upper partition there must come another pipe.
Moreover there must be a hole, through the top of the uppermost
partition as Y. Fill the lower partition at the pipe, also the upper
partition by the hole Y: note then that if you turn the cocke as the
water runneth out of the lower partition, the water contained in the
upper partition wil ascend throgh the pipe into the glasse Cylinder.
When all the water in the lower partition is runne out at the cocke,
then the water which before did ascend into the Cylinder, will fall
backe againe into the upper partition: after this manner may you
compose an artificiall water clocke, if you note the howres upon the
Cylinder, and make the cocke after such manner, as that the water may
issue out but by droppes.

         _To make a cup or vessell that so oft as you take the
            liquor out of it, so oft it shall fill it selfe,
                         but never runne over._
