the_o corpuscle_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o loadstone_n be_v not_o so_o many_o nor_o by_o consequence_n so_o powerful_a as_o to_o draw_v the_o iron_n or_o the_o impression_n which_o they_o make_v

same_o reason_n it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o loadstone_n ought_v not_o to_o approach_v to_o the_o iron_n but_o the_o iron_n to_o the_o loadstone_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o hard_a and_o solid_a body_n such_o as_o iron_n be_v can_v emit_v such_o a_o great_a number_n of_o corpuscle_n as_o other_o body_n which_o like_o the_o loadstone_n be_v less_o solid_a and_o more_o porous_a also_o there_o

because_o these_o strange_a corpuscle_n by_o their_o oiliness_n do_v hinder_v the_o emission_n of_o the_o corpuscle_n out_o of_o the_o loadstone_n and_o also_o their_o entrance_n into_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o iron_n and_o do_v break_v their_o elastic_a force_n we_o may_v observe_v many_o other_o effect_n of_o the_o loadstone_n as_o for_o example_n that_o iron_n put_v upon_o a_o table_n be_v

therefore_o the_o motion_n of_o atom_n be_v neither_o equal_a nor_o every_o where_o alike_o but_o they_o do_v vary_v according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o body_n whereby_o they_o be_v drive_v or_o

or_o that_o the_o same_o be_v indivisible_a shall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v its_o grossness_n and_o extension_n but_o this_o difficulty_n proceed_v from_o nothing_o else_o but_o the_o

be_v a_o idea_n of_o a_o indivisible_a thing_n it_o be_v only_o our_o soul_n which_o be_v indivisible_a as_o well_o as_o a_o atom_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v the_o nature_n of_o they_o which_o be_v elevate_v above_o the_o sense_n can_v correct_v the_o error_n of_o they_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o a_o atom_n be_v not_o a_o body_n according_a to_o the_o notion_n which_o we_o have_v of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o compound_n be_v but_o i_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v a_o simple_a be_v and_o also_o corporeal_a that_o be_v to_o say_v simple_a because_o it_o be_v indivisible_a and_o corporeal_a

two_o other_o difficulty_n which_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o former_a for_o if_o a_o atom_n be_v indivisible_a after_o what_o manner_n can_v we_o propose_v to_o ourselves_o that_o it_o have_v
