and_o how_o they_o come_v to_o produce_v the_o effect_n of_o so_o many_o fair_a cure_n if_o we_o consider_v that_o then_o when_o some_o be_v practise_v in_o one_o of_o these_o cause_n or_o in_o all_o of_o they_o together_o we_o see_v and_o perceive_v immediate_o a_o effect_n altogether_o differ_v from_o the_o former_a if_o i_o have_v not_o former_o see_v a_o watch_n or_o clock_n i_o shall_v be_v just_o surprise_v and_o shall_v remain_v astonish_v to_o see_v a_o hand_n or_o a_o needle_n so_o regular_o mark_v the_o journal_n hour_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n upon_o the_o flat_a of_o a_o

look_v on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o see_v wheel_n ressort_n and_o counterpoise_n which_o be_v in_o perpetual_a movement_n which_o have_v well_o and_o sober_o consider_v i_o present_o suspect_v that_o those_o wheel_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o movement_n and_o turn_n of_o the_o say_a needle_n although_o i_o can_v present_o discern_v or_o know_v how_o those_o move_a wheel_n do_v cause_v a_o motion_n in_o the_o needle_n of_o the_o quadrant_a because_o of_o the_o plate_n that_o lie_v interpose_v betwixt_o they_o therefore_o i_o reason_v thus_o within_o myself_o that_o every_o effect_n whatsoever_o must_v have_v of_o pure_a necessity_n some_o cause_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o body_n move_v there_o ought_v necessary_o to_o receive_v its_o movement_n from_o some_o other_o body_n which_o be_v contiguous_a to_o it_o now_o i_o see_v no_o other_o body_n which_o make_v the_o needle_n of_o the_o quadrant_a to_o move_v and_o turn_v then_o the_o say_a wheel_n therefore_o i_o must_v of_o force_n be_v persuade_v to_o attribute_v the_o movement_n unto_o they_o but_o afterwards_o when_o i_o shall_v have_v stop_v the_o motion_n of_o those_o wheel_n and_o take_v away_o the_o counterpoise_n and_o observe_v that_o sudden_o the_o needle_n cease_v to_o move_v and_o that_o apply_v again_o the_o counterpoise_n and_o give_v liberty_n for_o the_o wheel_n to_o turn_v the_o needle_n return_v to_o her_o ordinary_a train_n or_o by_o make_v one_o wheel_n to_o go_v fast_o by_o put_v my_o finger_n unto_o it_o or_o by_o add_v more_o weight_n to_o the_o counterpoise_n the_o needle_n do_v hasten_v and_o advance_v its_o motion_n proportionable_o then_o i_o grow_v to_o be_v convince_v and_o entire_o satisfy_v and_o so_o i_o absolute_o conclude_v that_o these_o wheel_n and_o counterpoise_n be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o needle_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n if_o interrupt_v the_o action_n of_o any_o of_o those_o cause_n which_o i_o have_v
