out_o it_o will_v prove_v no_o hard_a task_n to_o discover_v the_o rest_n it_o seem_v now_o necessary_a to_o i_o that_o this_o i_o do_v know_v wat_fw-mi which_o bind_v even_o the_o small_a part_n of_o that_o piece_n of_o iron_n i_o hold_v in_o my_o hand_n shall_v be_v something_o very_o powerful_a since_o i_o must_v use_v a_o very_a great_a force_n to_o break_v off_o a_o small_a part_n of_o it_o but_o be_o not_o i_o extreme_o mistake_v for_o may_v not_o that_o difficulty_n i_o find_v in_o break_v the_o least_o piece_n of_o this_o iron_n come_v from_o my_o weakness_n and_o not_o from_o the_o resistance_n of_o the_o iron_n and_o indeed_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v former_o use_v a_o great_a violence_n than_o i_o now_o do_v to_o break_v a_o piece_n of_o iron_n like_o this_o and_o if_o i_o fall_v sick_a it_o may_v happen_v that_o my_o utmost_a endeavour_n can_v not_o perform_v it_o i_o see_v therefore_o that_o i_o must_v not_o judge_v absolute_o of_o the_o firmness_n with_o which_o the_o part_n of_o iron_n be_v join_v together_o by_o the_o endeavour_n i_o make_v to_o disunite_a they_o but_o only_o judge_v that_o they_o stick_v very_o strict_o to_o each_o other_o in_o relation_n

advertise_n i_o i_o shall_v soon_o disunite_v the_o part_n of_o my_o body_n than_o those_o of_o the_o iron_n thence_o i_o conclude_v that_o as_o i_o be_o not_o absolute_o strong_a nor_o weak_a so_o iron_n and_o other_o body_n be_v not_o absolute_o hard_a or_o flexible_a but_o only_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o cause_n that_o act_n upon_o they_o and_o that_o my_o endeavour_n can_v be_v a_o rule_n to_o measure_v the_o degree_n of_o force_n that_o must_v be_v use_v to_o overcome_v the_o resistance_n and_o hardness_n of_o iron_n since_o rule_n must_v be_v unvariable_a whereas_o those_o
