by_o he_o and_o the_o weakness_n of_o my_o animaduersor_n magnetical_a skill_n you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o magnetical_a motion_n be_v a_o natural_a inclination_n of_o two_o magnet_n or_o magnetical_a body_n that_o may_v free_o move_v respect_v the_o one_o the_o other_o within_o the_o orb_n of_o their_o force_n with_o their_o convenient_a end_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o north_n end_n of_o the_o one_o always_o respect_v the_o south_n of_o the_o other_o if_o the_o two_o magnet_n or_o magnetical_a body_n be_v of_o like_a quantity_n form_n and_o goodness_n their_o motion_n will_v be_v of_o like_a quickness_n of_o the_o one_o towards_o the_o other_o but_o if_o they_o differ_v in_o any_o of_o these_o their_o motion_n will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o slow_a now_o forasmuch_o as_o all_o magnetical_a motion_n be_v always_o respective_a of_o the_o one_o magnet_n or_o magnetical_a body_n towards_o another_o it_o follow_v by_o necessary_a consequent_a that_o no_o magnet_n or_o magnetical_a body_n can_v either_o move_v or_o be_v move_v of_o itself_o but_o be_v utter_o void_a of_o all_o intrinsical_n or_o selfe-motion_n the_o true_a and_o only_a cause_n of_o his_o motion_n be_v evermore_o without_o itself_o and_o therefore_o my_o animaduersor_n selfe-motion_n of_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n circular_o by_o magnetical_a vigour_n in_o the_o which_o he_o do_v so_o gallant_o triumph_v be_v but_o a_o idle_a figment_n and_o a_o mere_a chimaera_n but_o his_o definition_n of_o magnetical_a body_n be_v very_o suitable_a unto_o it_o viz._n very_o monstrous_a namely_o that_o we_o define_v to_o be_v a_o magnetical_a body_n which_o do_v remain_v and_o place_n itself_o in_o one_o place_n or_o kind_n of_o situation_n natural_a not_o alterable_a as_o all_o star_n do_v and_o the_o great_a regent_n globe_n of_o saturn_n mars_n jupiter_n the_o sun_n and_o the_o earth_n do_v or_o such_o as_o with_o respect_n and_o attendance_n follow_v other_o globe_n as_o the_o two_o star_n which_o support_v saturn_n the_o four_o attendant_n upon_o jupiter_n late_o discover_v by_o the_o truncke-spectacle_n the_o two_o traverser_n about_o the_o sun_n call_v venus_n and_o mercury_n and_o the_o moon_n which_o do_v follow_v or_o go_v about_o the_o earth_n and_o respect_v the_o same_o always_o with_o one_o pole_n and_o therefore_o have_v a_o peculiar_a magnetical_a virtue_n that_o guide_v she_o in_o this_o kind_n of_o situation_n auditum_fw-la admissi_fw-la risum_fw-la teneatis_fw-la amici_fw-la any_o man_n that_o consider_v this_o goodly_a definition_n be_v the_o foundation_n and_o ground_n of_o his_o magnetical_a discourse_n and_o the_o very_a first_o sentence_n of_o his_o book_n and_o many_o the_o like_a fancy_n in_o his_o motion_n and_o and_o animaduesion_n will_v easy_o discern_v what_o his_o magnetical_a skill_n be_v and_o what_o a_o vanity_n it_o be_v for_o i_o to_o spend_v any_o precious_a time_n to_o confute_v in_o particular_a such_o unreasonable_a and_o senseless_a opinion_n which_o have_v more_o need_n of_o helleborus_fw-la to_o purge_v they_o out_o of_o his_o head_n than_o argument_n to_o confute_v they_o in_o his_o book_n and_o in_o his_o frivolous_a animadversion_n seek_v to_o maintain_v his_o former_a error_n and_o he_o be_v so_o snappish_a to_o have_v they_o amend_v he_o make_v they_o ten_o time_n worse_o than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o far_o more_o palpable_a but_o my_o tetrical_a animaduersor_n must_v be_v rule_v by_o reason_n and_o afford_v all_o those_o his_o patience_n that_o do_v believe_v the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o flat_o do_v deny_v the_o earth_n motion_n and_o affirm_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n moon_n &_o star_n in_o the_o whole_a current_n thereof_o as_o psal._n 19_o 6._o 104._o 5._o josua_n 10._o 12._o 13._o 14._o isaiah_n 38._o 8._o etc._n etc._n also_o that_o he_o will_v give_v man_n leave_v to_o credit_v their_o sense_n in_o matter_n subject_a unto_o sense_n and_o not_o repugnant_a unto_o reason_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v offend_v with_o those_o who_o do_v pitiful_o laugh_v at_o his_o magnetical_a astronomy_n with_o those_o topsy-turvy_o motion_n like_o voluitur_fw-la ixion_n &_o se_fw-la sequitur_fw-la que_fw-la fugitque_fw-la for_o although_o some_o great_a learned_a man_n in_o those_o science_n have_v use_v the_o suppose_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o a_o hypothesis_n serve_v their_o ready_a calculation_n as_o they_o have_v do_v also_o their_o suppose_a epicycle_n for_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o planet_n and_o their_o course_n yet_o that_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o to_o avouch_v they_o for_o to_o be_v in_o themselves_o true_a and_o real_a thing_n according_a unto_o some_o man_n vain_a fancy_n who_o do_v argue_v after_o this_o sort_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n and_o more_o as_o they_o say_v agreeable_a unto_o nature_n for_o so_o small_a a_o body_n as_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v in_o comparison_n of_o the_o heaven_n to_o move_v circular_o in_o the_o space_n of_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n than_o it_o be_v for_o the_o huge_a universe_n so_o to_o do_v and_o that_o which_o be_v do_v with_o less_o hazard_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o like_a which_o may_v not_o be_v perform_v without_o fear_n of_o a_o great_a danger_n with_o diverse_a other_o reason_n like_v unto_o these_o but_o although_o such_o as_o these_o be_v may_v go_v current_n in_o a_o mechanciall_a tradesman_n shop_n yet_o they_o be_v very_o insufficient_a to_o be_v allow_v for_o good_a by_o man_n of_o learning_n and_o christian_n by_o profession_n who_o know_v right_a well_o that_o it_o be_v great_a folly_n for_o to_o oppose_v that_o which_o we_o call_v difficult_a unto_o a_o omnipotent_a power_n who_o stretch_v out_o the_o heaven_n like_o a_o curtain_n and_o spread_v they_o out_o as_o a_o tent_n to_o dwell_v in_o isaiah_n 40._o ve_fw-la 22._o he_o stretch_v out_o the_o north_n over_o the_o empty_a and_o hang_v the_o

all_o thing_n agreeable_a unto_o nature_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v but_o god_n have_v ordain_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o the_o unmooveablenesse_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o this_o be_v more_o easy_a and_o more_o agreeable_a unto_o nature_n which_o be_v preserve_v only_o by_o obey_v god_n ordinance_n and_o herein_o only_o that_o consist_v and_o have_v she_o be_v and_o that_o the_o earth_n magnetical_a virtue_n have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o to_o perform_v or_o help_v any_o such_o motion_n as_o be_v also_o before_o make_v manifest_a but_o that_o my_o animaduersor_n magnetical_a skill_n be_v ascend_v up_o into_o our_o moon_n itself_o yea_o and_o yet_o high_o far_o beyond_o the_o moon_n unto_o the_o other_o planet_n and_o star_n and_o into_o every_o one_o of_o they_o this_o be_v such_o a_o point_n of_o his_o magnetical_a philosophy_n that_o will_v make_v stupidity_n itself_o astonish_v to_o hear_v of_o it_o there_o be_v as_o the_o poet_n fain_o a_o certain_a king_n of_o phrygia_n that_o have_v a_o gift_n give_v he_o of_o the_o god_n at_o his_o own_o request_n that_o whatsoever_o he_o touch_v with_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v gold_n but_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v ready_a to_o starve_v because_o his_o victual_n be_v also_o turn_v to_o gold_n he_o entreat_v earnest_o that_o he_o may_v surrender_v his_o gift_n it_o seem_v that_o mine_n animaduersor_n endeavour_v for_o to_o make_v show_n that_o he_o have_v a_o strange_a gift_n namely_o that_o by_o his_o very_a look_n for_o his_o look_n with_o his_o truncke-spectacle_n be_v his_o mean_n he_o can_v turn_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v magnetical_a that_o he_o do_v earnest_o behold_v he_o have_v scour_v the_o heaven_n already_o even_o from_o the_o one_o end_n unto_o the_o other_o that_o both_o planet_n and_o star_n be_v become_v magnetical_a in_o his_o head_n what_o tumultuous_a stir_n may_v they_o breed_v there_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v it_o be_v his_o safe_a way_n to_o confine_v his_o magnetisme_n unto_o the_o earth_n as_o their_o natural_a seat_n and_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o clamber_v up_o into_o the_o sky_n where_o they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v lest_o that_o infinite_a dispersion_n of_o his_o magnetical_a knowledge_n do_v in_o the_o end_n overcharge_v his_o brain_n and_o make_v he_o magnetical_o mad_a or_o at_o the_o least_o to_o incur_v the_o censure_n of_o he_o that_o say_v delphinum_fw-la siluis_fw-la appingit_fw-la fluctibus_fw-la aprum_fw-la as_o therefore_o whilst_o his_o wit_n be_v yet_o his_o own_o it_o be_v his_o sure_a way_n like_o the_o king_n of_o phrygia_n to_o surrender_v that_o gift_n again_o to_o leave_v his_o trifle_n with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o to_o be_v no_o more_o a_o censure_a animaduersor_n
