Enquire within upon everything
·
Robert Kemp Philp

In
this
attempt
you
will
find
that
the
water
buoys
you
up
against
your
inclination;
that
it
is
not
so
easy
to
sink
as
you
imagine,
and
that
you
cannot,
but
by
active
force,
get
down
to
the
egg.
Thus
you
feel
the
power
of
water
to
support
you,
and
learn
to
confide
in
that
power,
while
your
endeavours
to
overcome
it,
and
reach
the
egg,
teach
you
the
manner
of
acting
on
the
water
with
your
feet
and
hands,
which
action
is
afterwards
used
in
swimming
to
support
your
head
higher
above
the
water,
or
to
go
forward
through
it.

"I
would
the
more
earnestly
press
you
to
the
trial
of
this
method,
because
I
think
I
shall
satisfy
you
that
your
body
is
lighter
than
water,
and
that
you
might
float
in
it
a
long
time
with
your
mouth
free
for
breathing,
if
you
would
put
yourself
into
a
proper
posture,
and
would
be
still,
and
forbear
struggling;
yet,
till
you
have
obtained
this
experimental
confidence
in
the
water,
I
cannot
depend
upon
your
having
the
necessary
presence
of
mind
to
recollect
the
posture,
and
the
directions
I
gave
you
relating
to
it.
The
surprise
may
put
all
out
of
your
mind.
1400.
continued...
"Though
the
legs,
arms,
and
head
of
a
human
body,
being
solid
parts,
are
specifically
somewhat
heavier
than
fresh
water,
as
the
trunk,
particularly
the
upper
part,
from
its
hollowness,
is
so
much
lighter
than
water,
so
the
whole
of
the
body,
taken
altogether,
is
too
light
to
sink
wholly
under
water,
but
some
part
will
remain
above
until
the
lungs
become
filled
with
water,
which
happens
when
a
person,
in
the
fright,
attempts
breathing
while
the
mouth
and
nostrils
are
under
water.
