insomuch_o that_o those_o body_n that_o be_v but_o faint_o draw_v when_o the_o weather_n be_v clear_a will_v not_o when_o it_o be_v thick_a and_o cloudy_a be_v at_o all_o move_v 6._o we_o have_v also_o observe_v that_o divers_a concretes_n that_o be_v notable_o electrical_a do_v abound_v in_o a_o effluviable_a matter_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o which_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v manifest_o evaporate_v by_o heat_n and_o rub_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o most_o resinous_n gum_n that_o draw_v light_a body_n do_v also_o be_v moderate_o solicit_v by_o heat_n whether_o this_o be_v excite_v by_o the_o fire_n or_o by_o attrition_n or_o contusion_n emit_v steam_n and_o in_o piece_n of_o sulphur_n convenient_o shape_v i_o find_v upon_o due_a attrition_n a_o sulphureous_a stink_n and_o that_o piece_n of_o amber_n which_o i_o most_o employ_v be_v somewhat_o large_a and_o very_a well_o polish_a will_n be_v rub_v upon_o a_o piece_n of_o woollen_a cloth_n emit_v steam_n which_o the_o nostril_n themselves_o may_v perceive_v and_o they_o sometime_o seem_v to_o i_o not_o unlike_o those_o that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o when_o i_o keep_v in_o my_o mouth_n a_o drop_n or_o two_o of_o the_o diluted_a tincture_n or_o solution_n of_o the_o fine_a part_n of_o amber_n make_v with_o spirit_n of_o wine_n or_o of_o sal_fw-la ammoniac_a 7._o it_o agree_v very_o well_o with_o what_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o corporeal_a emanation_n of_o amber_n that_o its_o attractive_a power_n will_v continue_v some_o time_n after_o it_o have_v be_v once_o excite_v for_o the_o attrition_n have_v cause_v a_o intestine_a commotion_n in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o concrete_a the_o heat_n or_o warmth_n that_o be_v thereby_o excite_v ought_v not_o to_o cease_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o rub_n be_v over_o but_o to_o continue_v capable_a of_o emit_v effluvia_fw-la for_o some_o time_n afterward_o which_o will_v be_v long_o or_o short_a according_a to_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o electric_n and_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o antecedent_n commotion_n which_o join_v together_o may_v sometime_o make_v the_o effect_n considerable_a insomuch_o that_o in_o a_o warm_a day_n about_o noon_n i_o do_v with_o a_o certain_a body_n not_o much_o if_o at_o all_o big_a than_o a_o pea_n but_o very_o vigorous_o attractive_a move_v to_o and_o fro_o a_o steel_n needle_n free_o poise_v about_o three_o minute_n or_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o a_o hour_n after_o i_o have_v leave_v off_o rub_v the_o attrahent_fw-la 8._o that_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v impossible_a that_o electrical_a effluvia_fw-la shall_v be_v able_a to_o insinuate_v themselves_o into_o the_o pore_n of_o many_o other_o body_n i_o shall_v add_v that_o i_o find_v they_o subtle_a enough_o to_o attract_v not_o only_a spirit_n of_o wine_n but_o that_o fluid_a aggregate_v of_o corpuscle_n we_o call_v smoke_n for_o have_v well_o light_v a_o wax-taper_n which_o i_o prefer_v to_o a_o common_a candle_n to_o avoid_v the_o stink_n of_o the_o snuff_n i_o blow_v out_o the_o flame_n and_o when_o the_o smoke_n ascend_v in_o a_o slender_a stream_n hold_v at_o a_o convenient_a distance_n from_o it_o a_o excite_a piece_n of_o amber_n or_o a_o chafe_v diamond_n which_o will_v manifest_o make_v the_o ascend_a smoke_n deviate_v from_o its_o former_a line_n and_o turn_v aside_o to_o beat_v as_o it_o be_v against_o the_o electric_n which_o if_o it_o be_v vigorous_a will_v act_v at_o a_o considerable_a distance_n and_o seem_v to_o smoke_n for_o a_o pretty_a while_n together_o 9_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o peculiar_a sympathy_n between_o a_o electric_n and_o a_o body_n whereon_o it_o operate_v that_o electrical_a attraction_n depend_v seem_v the_o more_o probale_n because_o amber_n for_o instance_n do_v not_o attract_v only_o one_o determinate_a sort_n of_o body_n as_o the_o loadstone_n do_v iron_n and_o those_o body_n wherein_o it_o abound_v but_o as_o far_o as_o i_o have_v yet_o try_v it_o draw_v indifferent_o all_o body_n whatsoever_o be_v place_v within_o a_o due_a distance_n from_o it_o as_o my_o choice_a piece_n of_o amber_n draw_v not_o only_a sand_n and_o mineral_n powder_n but_o file_n of_o steel_n and_o copper_n and_o beat_a gold_n itself_o provide_v they_o be_v minute_n or_o light_n enough_o except_o perhaps_o it_o be_v fire_n i_o employ_v the_o word_n perhaps_o because_o i_o be_o not_o yet_o so_o clear_a in_o this_o point_n for_o have_v apply_v a_o strong_a electric_n at_o a_o convenient_a distance_n to_o small_a fragment_n of_o ignited_a matter_n they_o be_v ready_o enough_o attract_v and_o shine_v whilst_o they_o be_v stick_v to_o the_o body_n that_o have_v draw_v they_o but_o when_o i_o look_v attentive_o upon_o they_o i_o find_v the_o shine_a spark_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v clothe_v with_o light_a ash_n which_o in_o spite_n of_o my_o diligence_n have_v be_v already_o form_v about_o the_o attract_a corpuscle_n upon_o the_o expire_a of_o a_o good_a part_n of_o the_o fire_n so_o that_o it_o remain_v somewhat_o doubtful_a to_o i_o whether_o the_o ignited_a corpuscle_n whilst_o they_o be_v total_o such_o be_v attract_v or_o whether_o the_o immediate_a object_n of_o the_o attraction_n be_v not_o the_o new_a form_v ash_n which_o carry_v up_o with_o they_o those_o yet_o unextinguished_a part_n of_o fire_n that_o chance_v to_o be_v lodge_v in_o they_o but_o as_o for_o flame_n our_o countryman_n gilbert_n deliver_v as_o his_o experiment_n that_o a_o electric_n though_o due_o excite_v and_o apply_v will_v not_o move_v the_o flame_n of_o the_o slender_a candle_n which_o some_o will_v think_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o be_v well_o try_v with_o common_a electrick_n as_o amber_n hard_a wax_n sulphur_n and_o the_o like_a unctuous_a concretes_n that_o very_o easy_o take_v fire_n therefore_o i_o choose_v to_o make_v my_o trial_n with_o a_o rough_a diamond_n extraordinary_o attractive_a which_o i_o can_v without_o injure_v it_o hold_v as_o near_o as_o i_o please_v to_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o candle_n or_o taper_n and_o though_o i_o be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o it_o do_v either_o attract_v the_o flame_n as_o it_o visible_o do_v the_o smoke_n or_o manifest_o agitate_v it_o yet_o grant_v that_o gilbert_n assertion_n will_v constant_o hold_v true_a and_o so_o that_o flame_n be_v to_o be_v except_v from_o the_o general_a rule_n yet_o this_o exception_n may_v well_o comport_v with_o the_o hypothesis_n hitherto_o countenance_v since_o it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o it_o be_v if_o i_o mistake_v not_o by_o kirkerus_fw-la that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o flame_n dissipate_v the_o effluvia_fw-la by_o who_o mean_n the_o attraction_n shall_v be_v perform_v to_o which_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o possible_o the_o celerity_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o flame_n upward_o may_v render_v it_o very_o difficult_a for_o the_o electrical_a emanation_n to_o divert_v the_o flame_n from_o its_o course_n 10._o we_o have_v find_v by_o experiment_n that_o a_o vigorous_a and_o well_o excite_a piece_n of_o amber_n will_v draw_v not_o only_o the_o powder_n of_o amber_n but_o less_o minute_n fragment_n of_o it_o and_o as_o in_o many_o case_n one_o contrary_a direct_v to_o another_o so_o this_o trial_n suggest_v a_o further_a which_o in_o case_n of_o good_a success_n will_v probable_o argue_v that_o in_o electrical_a attraction_n not_o only_a effluvia_fw-la be_v emit_v by_o the_o electrical_a body_n but_o these_o effluvia_fw-la fasten_v upon_o the_o body_n to_o be_v draw_v and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o way_n that_o the_o intervening_a viscous_a string_n which_o may_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v make_v up_o of_o those_o cohere_a effluvia_fw-la be_v when_o their_o agitation_n cease_v contract_v or_o make_v to_o shrink_v inward_o towards_o both_o end_n almost_o as_o a_o high_o stretch_v lutestring_n do_v when_o it_o be_v permit_v to_o retreat_n into_o short_a dimension_n but_o the_o conjecture_n itself_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o be_v make_v than_o the_o experiment_n requisite_a to_o examine_v it_o for_o we_o find_v it_o no_o easy_a matter_n to_o suspend_v a_o electric_n great_a and_o vigorous_a enough_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o it_o may_v whilst_o suspend_v be_v excite_v and_o be_v so_o nice_o poise_v that_o so_o faint_a a_o force_n as_o that_o wherewith_o it_o attract_v light_a body_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o procure_v a_o local_a motion_n to_o the_o whole_a body_n itself_o but_o after_o some_o fruitless_a attempt_n with_o other_o electrick_n i_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o very_a vigorous_a piece_n of_o polish_a amber_n former_o mention_v and_o when_o we_o have_v with_o the_o help_n of_o a_o little_a wax_n suspend_v it_o by_o a_o silken_a thread_n we_o chafe_v very_o well_o one_o of_o the_o blunt_a edge_n of_o it_o upon_o a_o kind_n of_o large_a pin-cushion_n cover_v with_o a_o course_n and_o black_a woollen_a stuff_n and_o then_o bring_v the_o
