then_o although_o there_o be_v several_a consideration_n in_o regard_n of_o which_o rarity_n and_o density_n may_v be_v different_o attribute_v to_o body_n yet_o because_o man_n discern_v they_o to_o

it_o be_v since_o no_o more_o virtue_n can_v go_v from_o one_o iron_n to_o the_o other_o then_o go_v from_o the_o loadestone_n to_o the_o first_o iron_n and_o if_o this_o virtue_n can_v not_o tie_v the_o first_o iron_n to_o the_o loadestone_n it_o can_v not_o proceed_v out_o of_o this_o virtue_n that_o the_o second_o iron_n be_v tie_v to_o the_o first_o again_o if_o a_o paper_n be_v put_v betwixt_o the_o cap_n and_o a_o other_o iron_n it_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o magnetical_a virtue_n from_o pass_v through_o it_o to_o the_o iron_n but_o the_o virtue_n of_o take_v up_o more_o weight_n than_o the_o naked_a stone_n be_v able_a to_o do_v be_v thereby_o render_v quite_o useless_a therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o virtue_n must_v be_v put_v in_o something_o else_o and_o not_o in_o the_o application_n of_o the_o magnetical_a virtue_n and_o to_o examine_v his_o reason_n particular_o it_o may_v very_o well_o fall_v out_o that_o whatsoever_o the_o cause_n be_v the_o point_n of_o a_o needle_n may_v be_v too_o little_a to_o make_v a_o exact_a experience_n in_o and_o therefore_o a_o new_a doctrine_n ought_v not_o light_o be_v ground_v upon_o what_o appear_v in_o the_o application_n of_o that_o and_o likewise_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o surface_v of_o the_o two_o iron_n may_v be_v a_o condition_n helpefull_a to_o the_o cause_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v for_o

than_o a_o other_o mere_o out_o of_o this_o that_o great_a do_v more_o and_o little_o do_v less_o to_o come_v then_o to_o our_o own_o solution_n question_n i_o have_v consider_v how_o fi●●_n have_v in_o a_o manner_n the_o same_o effect_n in_o iron_n as_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o loadestone_n have_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o cap_n for_o i_o find_v that_o fire_n come_v through_o iron_n red_a glow_a hot_a will_v burn_v more_o strong_o then_o if_o it_o shall_v come_v immediate_o through_o the_o air_n as_o also_o we_o see_v that_o in_o pittecoale_n the_o fire_n be_v strong_a than_o in_o charcoal_n and_o nevertheless_o the_o fire_n will_v heat_v further_o if_o it_o come_v immediate_o from_o the_o source_n of_o it_o then_o if_o it_o come_v through_o a_o red_a iron_n that_o burn_v more_o violent_o where_o it_o touch_v and_o likewise_o charcoal_n will_v heat_v further_o than_o pittcoale_n that_o near_o hand_n burn_v more_o fierce_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n the_o loadestone_n will_v draw_v further_o without_o a_o cap_n then_o with_o one_o but_o with_o a_o cap_n it_o stick_v fast_a than_o without_o one_o whence_o i_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o pure_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o loadestone_n but_o the_o virtue_n of_o it_o be_v in_o iron_n which_o cause_v this_o effect_n now_o this_o modification_n may_v proceed_v either_o from_o the_o multitude_n of_o part_n which_o come_v out_o of_o the_o loadestone_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v stop_v in_o the_o iron_n and_o so_o the_o sphere_n of_o their_o activity_n become_v short_a but_o strong_a or_o else_o from_o some_o quality_n of_o the_o iron_n join_v to_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o loadestone_n the_o first_o seem_v not_o to_o give_v a_o good_a account_n of_o the_o effect_n for_o why_o shall_v a_o little_a paper_n take_v it_o away_o see_v we_o be_v sure_a that_o it_o stop_v not_o the_o passage_n of_o the_o loadestone_n influence_n again_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o loadestone_n seem_v in_o its_o motion_n to_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o light_n which_o go_v in_o a_o insensible_a time_n as_o far_o as_o it_o can_v reach_v and_o therefore_o be_v it_o multiply_v in_o the_o iron_n it_o will_v reach_v further_o than_o without_o it_o and_o from_o it_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o loadestone_n will_v begin_v a_o new_a sphere_n of_o activity_n therefore_o we_o more_o willing_o cleave_v to_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o our_o determination_n and_o there_o upon_o inquire_v what_o quality_n there_o be_v in_o iron_n whence_o this_o effect_n may_v follow_v we_o find_v that_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o a_o

the_o cause_n of_o stick_v especial_o when_o it_o be_v little_a and_o dense_a these_o quality_n must_v needs_o be_v in_o the_o humidity_n of_o iron_n which_o of_o all_o metal_n be_v the_o most_o terrestrial_a and_o such_o humidity_n as_o be_v able_a to_o stick_v to_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o loadestone_n as_o it_o pass_v through_o the_o body_n of_o the_o iron_n must_v be_v exceed_o subtle_a and_o small_a and_o it_o seem_v necessary_a that_o such_o humidity_n shall_v stick_v to_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o loadestone_n when_o it_o meet_v with_o it_o consider_v that_o the_o influence_n be_v of_o itself_o dry_a and_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o iron_n be_v akin_a to_o the_o loadestone_n wherefore_o the_o humidity_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o drought_n of_o the_o other_o will_v not_o fail_v of_o incorporate_n together_o now_o then_o if_o two_o iron_n well_o polish_a and_o plain_a be_v unite_v by_o such_o a_o glue_v as_o result_v out_o of_o this_o composition_n there_o be_v a_o manifest_a appearance_n of_o much_o reason_n for_o they_o to_o stick_v strong_o together_o this_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o iron_n in_o very_o cold_a country_n and_o very_o cold_a weather_n for_o the_o very_a humidity_n of_o the_o air_n in_o time_n of_o frost_n will_v make_v upon_o iron_n soon_o than_o upon_o other_o thing_n such_o a_o stick_a glue_v as_o will_v pull_v off_o the_o skin_n of_o a_o man_n hand_n that_o touch_v it_o hard_o and_o by_o this_o discourse_n you_o will_v perceive_v that_o galileo_n argument_n do_v confirm_v our_o opinion_n as_o well_o as_o

have_v show_v to_o be_v the_o general_a reason_n why_o thing_n be_v easy_o part_v let_v we_o then_o proceed_v to_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o other_o case_n propose_v the_o second_o be_v already_o

must_v have_v more_o force_n than_o the_o bare_a influence_n of_o the_o loadestone_n or_o rather_o the_o humidity_n of_o two_o iron_n make_v the_o glue_v of_o a_o fit_a temper_n to_o hold_v then_o that_o which_o be_v between_o a_o dry_a loadestone_n and_o iron_n and_o the_o glue_v enter_v better_a when_o both_o side_n be_v moist_a then_o when_o only_o one_o be_v so_o great_a but_o this_o resolution_n though_o it_o be_v in_o part_n good_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o evacuate_v the_o whole_a difficulty_n since_o the_o same_o case_n happen_v between_o a_o strong_a and_o a_o weak_a loadestone_n as_o between_o a_o loadestone_n and_o iron_n for_o the_o weak_a loadestone_n whilst_o it_o be_v within_o the_o sphere_n of_o activity_n of_o the_o great_a loadestone_n draw_v away_o a_o iron_n set_v
