metal_n to_o it_o that_o without_o any_o sensible_a alteration_n in_o the_o agent_n or_o the_o patient_n the_o loadstone_n will_v in_o a_o trice_n communicate_v all_o its_o virtue_n to_o a_o piece_n

of_o the_o same_o denomination_n within_o the_o reach_n of_o one_o another_o one_o will_v present_o drive_v away_o the_o other_o as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o powerful_a antipathy_n between_o they_o a_o somewhat_o long_a needle_n be_v place_v horizontal_o and_o exact_o poise_v upon_o the_o point_n of_o a_o pin_n if_o you_o gentle_o touch_v one_o end_n with_o the_o pole_n of_o a_o vigorous_a magnet_n that_o end_n shall_v manifest_o dip_v or_o stoop_v though_o you_o often_o take_v it_o off_o the_o pin_n and_o put_v it_o on_o again_o and_o this_o inclination_n of_o the_o needle_n will_v continue_v many_o year_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v not_o only_a no_o other_o sensible_a change_n make_v in_o the_o metal_n by_o the_o contact_n of_o the_o loadstone_n but_o one_o end_n have_v require_v a_o

another_o touch_n of_o the_o loadstone_n take_v away_o without_o lessen_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o part_n that_o be_v deprive_v of_o it_o the_o operation_n that_o in_o a_o trice_n the_o loadstone_n
