		Boyle then found that a mixture of either substance with saltpeter (potassium nitrate) catches fire even when in a vacuum and concluded that combustion must depend on something common to both air and saltpeter.
		Boyle drew a comparison between a glowing coal and phosphorescent wood, although oxygen was still not known and combustion was not properly understood.
		Boyle’s camera obscura could be extended or shortened like a telescope to focus an image on a piece of paper stretched across the back of the box opposite the lens.

		Boyle is best remembered for Boyle’s law, a physical law that explains how the pressure and volume of a gas are related.
		Boyle was also a pioneer in the use of experiments and the scientific method to test his theories.
		Boyle was born in Lismore Castle in Lismore, Ireland.

	Robert Boyle - LoveToKnow 1911
		ROBERT BOYLE (1627-1691), English natural philosopher, seventh son and fourteenth child of Richard Boyle, the great earl of Cork; was born at Lismore Castle, in the province of Munster, Ireland, on the 25th of January 1627.
		With all the important work he accomplished in physics - the enunciation of Boyle's law, the discovery of the part taken by air in the propagation of sound, and investigations on the expansive force of freezing water, on specific gravities and refractive powers, on crystals, on electricity, on colour, on hydrostatics, andc.
		An incomplete and unauthorized edition of Boyle's works was published at Geneva in 1677, but the first complete edition was that of Thomas Birch, with a life, published in 1744, in five folio volumes, a second edition appearing in 1772 in six volumes, 4to.

	Robert Boyle - Crystalinks
		The period of Boyle's residence was marked by the reactionary actions of the victorious parliamentarian forces, consequently this period marked the most secretive period of Chevalier movements and thus little is known about Boyle's involvement beyond his membership.
		Boyle's great merit as a scientific investigator is that he carried out the principles which Francis Bacon preached in the Novum Organum.
		He founded the Boyle lectures, intended to defend the Christian religion against those he considered "notorious infidels, namely atheists, theists, pagans, Jews and Muslims," with the proviso that controversies between Christians were not to be mentioned.

	Robert Boyle Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The seventh son and fourteenth child of the 1st Earl of Cork, Robert Boyle was born on Jan. 25, 1627, at Lismore Castle in County Cork, Ireland.
		Boyle devoted much time to study and writing, and although he wrote extensively on ethical and religious topics, he became increasingly interested in natural philosophy.
		Boyle made extensive studies of the elasticity of the air and of its necessity for various physical phenomena, such as combustion, the propagation of sound, and the survival of animals.

	Robert Boyle
		Boyle demonstrated the necessity of air for combustion, for animal breathing, and for the transmission of sound.
		Boyle used his experiments to demonstrate that mechanical explanations of the world are better than the traditional qualitative explanations associated with the ideas of Aristotle.
		Boyle declared that the proper object of chemistry was analysis of composition and, indeed, he coined the term analysis itself.

	Robert Boyle --Great Minds, Great Thinkers
		Boyle's great merit as a scientific investigator is that he carried out the principles which Bacon preached in the Novum Organum.
		At the Restoration he was favourably received at court, and in 1665 would have received the provostship of Eton, if he would have taken orders; but this he refused to do, on the ground that his writings on religious subjects would have greater weight coming from a layman than a paid minister of the Church.
		By his will he founded the Boyle lectures, for proving the Christian religion against "notorious infidels, viz, atheists, theists, pagans, Jews and Mahommedans," with the proviso that controversies between Christians were not to be mentioned.

	Scientist at the Crossroads - The World and I Magazine
		Boyle himself was not entirely satisfied with this imagery, as indicated by his later writings, but his corpuscular view of matter offers telling insight into the pivotal moment in the history of thought that he helped create.
		As Boyle insisted, "A man may be a champion for truth, without being an enemy to civility; and may confute an opinion without railing at them that hold it." He thus honored inquiry in a democratic mold, encouraging open discussion and compromise as the means to truth.
		Boyle rejected the mystical notion of air and his corpuscularism explained physical interactions in mechanistic terms, yet he was hardly ready to abandon his world to materialists who denied spirit altogether.

	Robert Boyle Biography \| World of Physics
		Boyle's ideas contradicted beliefs held ever since the ancient Greeks proposed that all things are made of only four elements--air, earth, fire, and water--which could be changed, or transmuted, into other substances.
		Boyle's concept of an element arose from his experiments with gases, and he was the first scientist to succeed in collecting hydrogen in a device now called a pneumatic trough.
		Boyle was also interested in the nature of color, and he accurately described how the absorption and reflection of light produces the appearance of fl and white, studying the changes in color that occur in certain plant extracts, such as litmus.

	The Life and Thought of Robert Boyle
		Boyle was born at Lismore Castle on 25 January 1627, the youngest son of Richard Boyle, first Earl of Cork, an 'adventurer' who made his fortune in Ireland and who, as Lord High Treasurer of that country, was one of the richest and most influential men in Britain.
		Boyle's background was thus a wealthy, aristocratic one, and he undoubtedly carried the marks of this for the rest of his life, displaying an patrician demeanour to which his contemporaries almost automatically deferred.
		Boyle's major preoccupation was the relationship between God's power, the created realm, and man's perception of it, a topic on which he wrote extensively, in books mainly published in the 1680s, though the views that they expressed may be traced in embryonic form in his earlier writings.

	Robert Boyle - ApologeticsWiki
		In Boyle's day, alchemy was more popular than true chemistry, being a medieval chemical philosophy looking to change common metals into gold, find a panacea (something that can cure every illness), and make an elixir that gave long life and everlasting youth.
		Robert Boyle was born at Lismore Castle, in the province of Munster, Ireland, as the seventh son and fourteenth child of Richard Boyle, the "Great Earl of Cork".
		Boyle's basis for this was Genesis 1:28, in which God the Creator blessed the first man and woman and told them to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, and to rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every living thing that moves on earth.

		The Boyle lectures were quickly translated into a variety of Continental languages, and Samuel Clarke became the leading theologian of the godly version of the Enlightenment.
		First, natural philosophical language, such as we find in the Boyle lectures of Richard Bentley (1692) and Samuel Clarke (1704), continued to be used in the opening lectures of any course, with definitions of matter, motion, space, and time freely tendered, complete with their implications for society and religion.

	Crisis Magazine
		Implicit in Boyle's approach is the assertion of an open-ended revelation, an ongoing prophetic adventure in which the Word continues to be revealed in the words of men.
		In the end, the answer is no because, as Boyle himself admits, “There are limits to the sacrilization of the secular.” Only “at times,” only in specific works and for highly contingent reasons can non-biblical literature be read theologically, consistent with the communication of a self-disclosing God.
		Boyle is closer to the second camp by profession, timing, and inclination.
