may_v have_v make_v you_o hot_a be_v motion_n therefore_o hot_a no._n you_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o concomitant_n of_o your_o heat_n as_o that_o you_o be_v more_o faint_a or_o more_o ruddy_a or_o

of_o the_o earth_n such_o as_o be_v at_o a_o b_o c_o for_o nothing_o else_o touch_v the_o air._n see_v then_o the_o motion_n of_o each_o point_n of_o the_o loadstone_n be_v from_o east_n to_o west_n in_o circle_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o each_o point_n of_o the_o iron_n from_o west_n to_o east_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o air_n between_o the_o loadstone_n and_o the_o iron_n shall_v be_v cast_v

loadstone_n have_v of_o draw_v iron_n to_o it_o b._n since_o the_o motion_n that_o bring_v two_o body_n to_o meet_v must_v have_v contrary_a way_n and_o that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o internal_a part_n of_o the_o magnet_n and_o of_o the_o iron_n be_v contrary_a the_o rub_n of_o they_o together_o do_v not_o give_v the_o iron_n the_o first_o edeavour_n to_o rise_v but_o multiply_v it_o for_o the_o iron_n untouched_a will_v rise_v to_o a_o loadstone_n but_o if_o touch_v it_o become_v a_o loadstone_n to_o other_o iron_n for_o when_o they_o touch_v a_o piece_n of_o iron_n they_o pass_v the_o

the_o very_a end_n of_o the_o iron_n and_o somewhat_o hard_o so_o that_o by_o this_o press_a motion_n all_o the_o small_a circle_n about_o the_o point_n a_o b_o c_o be_v turn_v the_o contrary_a way_n and_o the_o half_n of_o those_o small_a circle_n make_v on_o the_o arch_n d_o b_o will_n be_v take_v away_o and_o the_o pole_n change_v so_o as_o that_o the_o north-pole_n shall_v point_v south_n and_o the_o south_n poles_n north_n as_o in_o the_o figure_n a._n but_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o when_o a_o loadstone_n have_v draw_v a_o piece_n of_o iron_n you_o may_v add_v to_o it_o another_o as_o if_o they_o beget_v one_o another_o be_v there_o the_o like_a motion_n in_o the_o generation_n of_o animal_n b._n i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o iron_n of_o itself_o will_v rise_v to_o the_o loadstone_n much_o more_o than_o will_v it_o adhere_v to_o it_o when_o it_o be_v arm_v with_o iron_n and_o both_o it_o and_o the_o iron_n have_v a_o plain_a superficies_n for_o than_o not_o

little_a which_o you_o perhaps_o think_v as_o male_a and_o female_a but_o whether_o this_o compound_a motion_n and_o confrication_n cause_v the_o generation_n of_o animal_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o never_o have_v so_o much_o leisure_n as_o to_o make_v any_o observation_n which_o may_v conduce_v to_o that_o a._n my_o next_o question_n be_v see_v you_o say_v the_o loadstone_n or_o a_o needle_n touch_v with_o it_o natural_o respect_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o that_o the_o variation_n of_o it_o proceed_v from_o some_o accident_n in_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n what_o be_v those_o accident_n b._n suppose_v there_o be_v a_o hill_n upon_o the_o earth_n for_o example_n at_o r_o then_o the_o stream_n of_o the_o air_n which_o be_v between_o z_o and_o obligatory_n

variation_n of_o the_o needle_n at_o the_o same_o place_n be_v still_o the_o same_o but_o the_o variation_n of_o the_o variation_n be_v partly_o from_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o pole_n itself_o which_o by_o the_o astronomer_n be_v call_v motus_fw-la trepidationis_fw-la and_o partly_o from_o that_o that_o the_o variation_n can_v be_v true_o observe_v for_o the_o horizontal_n needle_n and_o
