approoued In refelling of these I will not insist for seeing they are meerely speculatiue and by the vrging of seuerall reasons in defence of euery opinion as being most remote from sense may all be made coniecturally probable Therefore I will chiefly rest in the other point that is in maintayning that no true nor certaine reason can be giuen why the Loadstone it selfe hanging in the aire by a thred or being put in a vessell of water doth at all tymes tend with one and the same point thereof in the same place towards one and the same point of the North for it being placed after either of these two wayes is free from all letts of it naturall motion or that a needle touched therewith will in like sort direct the one end still towards the North. Many reasons hereof I find alledged but all are insufficient and conuinced as false euen by the Eye and experience it selfe The first Reason is giuen by those which doe assigne the cause hereof to be some Northern part of the Heauen to which the Loadstone or Needle euer tendeth though in setting downe which this part should be they dissent Some doe maintaine that the Northern Pole of the world in the Point whereunto the stone is directed as Petrus Peregrinus in tract de Magnete But this sentence is thus ouerthrowne First because then there should be no variation of the Needle but that in all places it should directly tend towards the North Pole which is found by experience that it doth not Now heereby the variation of the Needle is vnderstood when the Needle tendeth either Eastwardly or Westwardly from the Pole which in seuerall Countries is found more or lesse to do Secondly if the Pole it selfe were the Point then the Northern end of the Needle should eleuate it selfe towards the Pole with vs heere in England much more in other more Boreall Clymates because to all such places the Pole is eleuated many degrees but we see iust contrary hereto that euen in all these Coūtries the Northern part of the Needle doth depresse it selfe downwards to the earth bending to some poynt many degrees vnder the Horizon and consequently bearing it selfe more low then the Southerne part thereof And this depression of that part is commonly called the Declination of the Pole of the Loadstone or Needle Others doe teach the Pole starre to be the point as Franciscus Lopez lib. 1. hist Occidental ●nd c. ● and Cardinus de subtilitate l. 7. This also is false First by the former reason of the afore alledged declination of the Needle seeing that euen with vs the Pole starre is euer many degrees aboue our Horizon Secondly because the Pole starre is euer in motion and reuolution about the Pole of the world and maketh it diurnall circle ech way distant more then two degrees from the Pole therefore if this Starre were the cause hereof then should the Needle follow the motion of that starre and so euery houre of the day be in changing it course in any one place which we find that it doth not at all Thirdly because we find that the Needle in some Countries doth vary it motion aboue thirty degrees from the Pole of the world whereas the furthest distance of the Pole starre from the Pole it selfe as is said aboue is not three degrees Fourthly because it would follow that in those Southerne parts where the Pole starre doth not rise the Loadstone should not turne towards the North by reason that this influence and vertue of the Pole starre could not penetrate through the earth and yet in those Australl Countries the Needle retaineth it former quality for euen in Freto Magellani●o it is obserued to tend directly towards the Pole of the world There are also some who assigne the cause hereofto other starres and constellations neere vnto the Pole and not to the Pole starre as Petrus Gregorius art intrab l. 36. c. 7. and Collegium Conimbricense ad 7. Physic 2. but this their error is refuted by all these former Argumēts which prooue that the Pole starre is no cause thereof Finally some others will haue some point aboue but extra Caelum to be the reason heerof for they say it cannot be referred to any point of Heauen it selfe seeing that euery part therof the Pole excepted is mouable and yet the needle in any one place or Countrey neuer changeth it certaine site and resting Of this opinion is Cortes part 3. art nauig c. 5. But this is refelled besides by some of the former alledged Arguments euen from Philosophy it selfe for seeing there is no Body or Subiect extra Caelum there can no vertue or influence proceed from thence since other wise there should be Accident originally fine Subiecto which cannot be Againe that supposed point should be either moueable or not moueable if moueable then should not the Needle in the same place alwaies looke tend one way if immoueable then should the Needle in all places respect one and the same point but both these are false And thus much of the first generall opinion which ascribeth the difficulty hereof to some part of the Heauens or point beyond the Heauens The Second maine opinion is of those who allot the vertue of the Loadstone to a Mountaine of Loadstone or a great Myne therof vnder the North Pole Of this opinion are Olaus lib. 12. c. 1. Francostor de Sympath Antipath Seuert lib. 1. in s●hol definition ●● to which place say these men that by reason of the attractiue for●● of this great Mountaine the Loadstone or a needle touched therwith tends vnto This opiniō is also refelled First because it would follow from Hence that a Loadstone or Needle swimming freely and without hinderance in the water should be mouing with change of place euermore forward towards the North and should not lye still vpon the water only bearing one end towardes the North but this it doth not Secondly in that it is found by experience that in a Port of the ●●and Elba in Italy not distant more then a mile from a great Rocke of Loadstone the Needle touched with a Loadstone doth not turne towards that Rocke but towards the North if then that great Rock in Elba hath not the vertue to draw the needle to it being so neere how can it be thought probable that the other Rock vnder the Pole can send it vertue so far to Needles touched with the Loadstone in Countreys remote and distant from it Thirdly because as Scaliger well noteth Exercit. 132. the attractiue force and vertue of that mountaine of Loadstone vnder the Pole should be intercepted and broken by reason of the swelling roundnesse of the earth afore it could could come to other places farre distant from this mountaine and it is most improbable to say that this vertue doth penetrate through the earth to Countreys far distant Or if it did then it would follow that in Countreys more or lesse Southren the Northren end
