to_o october_n when_o mr._n burrowes_n do_v observe_v be_v four_o month_n which_o take_v away_o the_o twelve_o minute_n mr._n john_n kepler_n that_o be_v mathematician_n to_o the_o emperor_n of_o

admire_v it_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o learned_a in_o astronomy_n will_v in_o time_n collect_v something_o more_o from_o it_o than_o i_o have_v do_v or_o than_o have_v be_v former_o know_v

robert_n norman_n in_o his_o new_a attractive●_n mention_n one_o petro_n de_fw-fr medina_n that_o in_o a_o book_n of_o his_o concern_v navigation_n do_v hold_v it_o for_o a_o absurdity_n for_o man_n to_o say_v that_o the_o magnetic_a needle_n have_v any_o variation_n at_o all_o he_o say_v it_o be_v a_o error_n in_o the_o misplace_n of_o the_o wire_n but_o leave_v he_o and_o his_o error_n i_o shall_v show_v how_o mr._n norman_n come_v to_o find_v the_o inclination_n of_o the_o inclinatory_a needle_n as_o he_o himself_o write_v and_o how_o he_o come_v to_o think_v of_o such_o a_o needle_n he_o have_v make_v a_o large_a horizontal_a needle_n and_o bestow_v much_o time_n and_o pain_n in_o fit_v and_o polish_n of_o it_o and_o have_v equal_o poize_v it_o on_o its_o pin_n and_o when_o he_o have_v touch_v it_o with_o the_o loadstone_n and_o put_v it_o on_o its_o pin_n again_o the_o north_n end_n of_o it_o incline_v so_o low_a that_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o use_v he_o think_v to_o mend_v it_o by_o cut_v off_o some_o of_o the_o end_n of_o it_o and_o cut_v off_o so_o much_o that_o he_o spoil_v the_o needle_n which_o bring_v he_o into_o a_o passion_n with_o himself_o after_o his_o passion_n be_v over_o he_o consider_v with_o himself_o whether_o there_o may_v not_o be_v such_o a_o motion_n of_o the_o needle_n and_o then_o make_v one_o and_o find_v it_o so_o from_o whence_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o the_o inclinatory_a motion_n of_o the_o needle_n be_v the_o natural_a motion_n and_o that_o the_o horizontal_a motion_n although_o it_o be_v of_o admirable_a use_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o force_a motion_n some_o year_n since_o i_o see_v a_o inclinatory_a needle_n of_o one_o doctor_n meret_n of_o the_o physician_n college_n in_o london_n which_o be_v make_v

which_o be_v a_o use_n that_o our_o former_a learned_a magnetic_a philosopher_n do_v not_o think_v of_o in_o their_o time_n because_o they_o know_v not_o the_o variate_a of_o the_o variation_n we_o
