for_o myself_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o motion_n without_o a_o impulse_n and_o that_o upon_o such_o a_o impulse_n a_o motion_n great_a or_o less_o must_v

of_o man_n eye_n assure_v they_o that_o no_o visible_a conspicuous_a agent_n be_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o necessity_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v something_o of_o a_o middling_a kind_n between_o these_o two_o which_o can_v be_v any_o other_o than_o the_o aethereal_a or_o subtle_a matter_n incorporate_v in_o the_o atmosphere_n of_o our_o terraqueous_a globe_n which_o matter_n by_o the_o

such_o aethereal_a matter_n i_o be_o confident_a you_o will_v not_o call_v in_o question_n and_o that_o it_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o scrutinous_a penetrate_a nature_n may_v be_v it_o not_o trivial_a be_v demonstrate_v from_o the_o very_a end_n and_o essence_n of_o it_o but_o still_o this_o agent_n suffer_v under_o the_o imputation_n of_o insufficiency_n and_o variability_n equal_o with_o that_o of_o des_fw-mi cartes_n and_o consider_v by_o itself_o undoubted_o it_o do_v so_o but_o consider_v with_o circumstance_n as_o the_o precipitance_n of_o its_o motion_n the_o disposition_n of_o the_o

with_o ease_n but_o have_v no_o power_n upon_o a_o rock_n or_o a_o mountain_n from_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o this_o agent_n must_v be_v drive_v with_o a_o due_a force_n of_o

of_o such_o matter_n to_o penetrate_v all_o the_o accessible_a passage_n of_o those_o body_n which_o occur_v in_o its_o course_n and_o to_o rage_n and_o aestuate_v in_o they_o if_o they_o be_v not_o very_o regular_a and_o open_a have_v thus_o obtain_v a_o agent_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n next_o to_o be_v examine_v the_o one_o be_v whether_o this_o agent_n when_o it_o be_v free_a and_o

you_o to_o understand_v that_o many_o of_o the_o particle_n of_o magnetical_a body_n be_v like_o so_o many_o tendril_n or_o little_a spring_n taper_n and_o tortuous_a which_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o internal_a disposition_n and_o posture_n of_o magnetical_a body_n and_o the_o many_o anomalous_a ramosity_n into_o which_o the_o part_n of_o they_o spread_v themselves_o i_o may_v expect_v to_o be_v easy_o grant_v the_o body_n of_o the_o aethereal_a matter_n therefore_o rush_v into_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o magnetical_a body_n and_o there_o labour_v to_o exert_v its_o self_n on_o all_o side_n and_o obtain_v a_o free_a passage_n or_o a_o convenient_a receptacle_n distend_v and_o explicate_v these_o little_a spring_n which_o lie_v range_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o order_n from_o this_o pole_n to_o that_o pole_n of_o the_o magnetical_a body_n the_o consequence_n of_o which_o distension_n can_v not_o be_v a_o direct_a progressive_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n because_o then_o all_o part_n of_o these_o spring_n must_v equal_o resist_v the_o impulse_n of_o the_o aethereal_a matter_n but_o be_v of_o a_o taper_n form_n large_a and_o strong_a towards_o the_o radix_fw-la of_o they_o than_o towards_o their_o summity_n or_o cuspis_fw-la forgive_v my_o pedantry_n where_o i_o can_v help_v it_o the_o

fine_a and_o weak_a part_n of_o they_o suffer_v a_o ready_a or_o more_o forcible_a expansion_n or_o diastole_n than_o the_o large_a and_o radical_a whereupon_o ensue_v instead_o of_o a_o progressive_a motion_n a_o deflexion_n or_o distortion_n of_o the_o spring_n themselves_o and_o of_o the_o continuum_fw-la to_o which_o they_o adhere_v for_o instance_n if_o the_o radix_fw-la of_o the_o spring_n of_o a_o watch_n be_v fasten_v to_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n or_o iron_n when_o the_o summity_n or_o lesser_a part_n of_o that_o spring_n be_v distend_v and_o display_v it_o will_v not_o carry_v the_o wood_n or_o iron_n at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o in_o a_o direct_a motion_n to_o any_o point_n just_a before_o it_o but_o it_o will_v turn_v and_o move_v it_o round_o within_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o same_o area_n on_o which_o it_o lay_v before_o the_o terminate_n weak_a part_n be_v expanded_a and_o this_o distension_n may_v very_o easy_o be_v effect_v by_o the_o vehemency_n and_o agitation_n of_o the_o aethereal_a matter_n which_o to_o make_v a_o gross_a comparison_n act_v as_o vigorous_o upon_o they_o as_o the_o wind_n in_o a_o crop_n of_o corn_n or_o among_o the_o sprig_n of_o tree_n when_o therefore_o the_o pole_n of_o magnetical_a body_n be_v thus_o deflect_v to_o the_o point_n of_o north_n and_o south_n the_o equal_a urgency_n of_o the_o influx_n of_o the_o accessary_n aethereal_a matter_n upon_o all_o part_n of_o the_o magnetical_a body_n destroy_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o impression_n and_o stay_v its_o motion_n at_o just_a that_o instant_a for_o it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o the_o side_n of_o the_o magnet_n have_v not_o pore_n fit_a to_o receive_v the_o aethereal_a matter_n which_o therefore_o upon_o impaction_n flow_v round_o it_o in_o a_o vortical_a manner_n as_o shall_v be_v better_o explain_v hereafter_o so_o the_o first_o difficulty_n disappear_v the_o second_o follow_v whether_o though_o our_o agent_n be_v capacitate_v yet_o external_a
