what_o may_v be_v say_v upon_o a_o subject_n so_o nice_a and_o delicate_a and_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o those_o wonderful_a effect_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o sympathy_n and_o antipathy_n without_o the_o help_n of_o occult_a cause_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o difficulty_n which_o occur_v in_o explain_v a_o effect_n of_o this_o nature_n do_v arise_v from_o this_o that_o the_o mind_n be_v not_o able_a to_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o sense_n which_o be_v the_o gate_n through_o which_o the_o object_n enter_v and_o form_v their_o

of_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o remote_a from_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o sense_n as_o for_o example_n iron_n move_v itself_o and_o that_o by_o way_n of_o local_a motion_n and_o join_v itself_o to_o

we_o explicate_v this_o and_o such_o like_a effect_n by_o say_v they_o be_v wrought_v by_o sympathy_n obscure_a and_o occult_a cause_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o for_o that_o be_v only_o a_o shelter_n and_o the_o true_a way_n of_o hide_v our_o ignorance_n which_o we_o be_v loath_a to_o discover_v for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o nature_n so_o blockish_a but_o after_o this_o manner_n can_v resolve_v all_o the_o phoenomena_fw-la in_o the_o universe_n if_o it_o be_v ask_v why_o the_o needle_n turn_v always_o to_o the_o north_n pole_n be_v it_o enough_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o sympathy_n betwixt_o this_o needle_n which_o be_v touch_v with_o the_o loadstone_n and_o the_o pole_n and_o that_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o sympathy_n be_v obscure_a unsearchable_a and_o past_o
