wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n i_o can_v obtain_v the_o first_o be_v to_o argue_v without_o error_n in_o all_o kind_n mode_n and_o figure_n in_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o learn_v a_o way_n to_o understand_v all_o language_n in_o six_o hour_n but_o as_o for_o the_o first_o i_o fear_v if_o i_o want_v a_o thorow-understanding_n in_o every_o particular_a argument_n cause_n or_o point_n a_o general_a art_n or_o mode_n of_o word_n will_v not_o help_v i_o especial_o if_o i_o be_v a_o woman_n shall_v want_v discretion_n and_o as_o for_o the_o second_o my_o memory_n be_v so_o bad_a that_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o help_n of_o art_n so_o that_o nature_n have_v make_v my_o understanding_n hard_a or_o close_o than_o glass_n through_o which_o the_o sun_n of_o verity_n can_v pass_v although_o its_o light_n do_v and_o therefore_o i_o be_o confident_a i_o shall_v not_o be_v make_v or_o teach_v to_o learn_v this_o mention_a art_n in_o six_o hour_n no_o not_o in_o six_o month_n but_o i_o wish_v all_o art_n be_v as_o easy_o practise_v as_o mention_v and_o thus_o i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xxiii_o madam_n concern_v your_o question_n whether_o a_o point_n be_v something_o or_o nothing_o or_o between_o both_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o a_o natural_a point_n be_v material_a but_o that_o which_o the_o learned_a name_n a_o mathematical_a point_n be_v like_o their_o logistical_a egg_n whereof_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n any_o otherwise_o but_o a_o word_n which_o word_n be_v material_a as_o be_v natural_a for_o concern_v immaterial_a being_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o in_o nature_n and_o though_o witty_a student_n and_o subtle_a arguer_n have_v both_o in_o past_a and_o this_o present_a age_n endeavour_v to_o prove_v something_o nothing_o yet_o word_n and_o dispute_n have_v not_o power_n to_o annihilate_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n no_o more_o then_o to_o create_v something_o out_o of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o they_o can_v neither_o make_v something_o nothing_o nor_o nothing_o to_o be_v something_o for_o the_o most_o witty_a student_n nor_o the_o subtle_a disputant_n can_v alter_v nature_n but_o each_o thing_n be_v and_o must_v be_v as_o nature_n make_v it_o as_o for_o your_o other_o question_n whether_o there_o be_v more_o than_o five_o sense_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v as_o many_o sense_n as_o there_o be_v sensitive_a motion_n and_o all_o sensation_n or_o perception_n be_v by_o the_o way_n of_o pattern_v and_o whosoever_o be_v of_o another_o opinion_n be_v in_o my_o judgement_n a_o great_a friend_n to_o contradiction_n then_o to_o truth_n at_o least_o to_o probability_n last_o concern_v your_o question_n why_o a_o gun_n the_o long_a its_o barrel_n be_v make_v the_o further_a it_o will_v shoot_v until_o it_o come_v to_o a_o certain_a degree_n of_o length_n after_o which_o the_o long_a it_o be_v make_v the_o weak_a it_o become_v so_o that_o every_o degree_n further_o make_v it_o shoot_v short_a and_o short_a whereas_o before_o it_o come_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o length_n it_o shoot_v further_o and_o further_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o madam_n that_o this_o question_n will_v be_v put_v more_o proper_o to_o a_o mathematician_n then_o to_o i_o who_o be_o ignorant_a in_o the_o mathematics_n however_o since_o you_o be_v please_v to_o desire_v my_o opinion_n thereof_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o give_v it_o you_o there_o be_v in_o my_o judgement_n but_o three_o reason_n which_o do_v produce_v this_o alteration_n the_o one_o may_v be_v the_o compass_n of_o the_o stock_n or_o barrel_n which_o be_v too_o wide_o for_o the_o length_n may_v weaken_v the_o force_n or_o be_v too_o narrow_a for_o the_o length_n may_v retard_v the_o force_n the_o one_o give_v liberty_n before_o the_o force_n be_v unite_v the_o other_o enclose_v it_o so_o long_o by_o a_o straight_a passage_n as_o it_o lose_v its_o force_n before_o it_o have_v liberty_n so_o that_o the_o one_o become_v strong_a with_o length_n the_o other_o weak_a with_o length_n the_o second_o reason_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o degree_n of_o strength_n may_v require_v degree_n of_o the_o medium_n last_o it_o may_v be_v that_o centre_n be_v require_v for_o degree_n of_o strength_n if_o so_o every_o medium_n may_v be_v a_o centre_n and_o the_o middle_a length_n to_o such_o a_o compass_n may_v be_v a_o centre_n of_o such_o a_o force_n but_o many_o time_n the_o force_n be_v weak_a or_o strong_a be_v cause_v by_o the_o good_a or_o ill_a make_n of_o the_o powder_n or_o lock_n or_o the_o like_a but_o madam_n such_o question_n will_v puzzle_v i_o as_o much_o as_o those_o of_o m_n r_o v._n z._n concern_v those_o glass_n one_o of_o which_o be_v hold_v close_o in_o one_o hand_n and_o a_o little_a piece_n be_v break_v of_o its_o tail_n make_v as_o great_a a_o noise_n as_o the_o discharge_n of_o a_o gun_n wherefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o madam_n do_v not_o trouble_v my_o brain_n with_o mathematical_a question_n wherein_o i_o have_v neither_o skill_n learning_n nor_o experience_n by_o practice_n for_o true_o i_o have_v not_o the_o subtlety_n to_o find_v out_o their_o mystery_n nor_o the_o capacity_n to_o understand_v art_n no_o more_o than_o i_o be_o capable_a to_o learn_v several_a language_n if_o you_o command_v i_o any_o thing_n else_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v assure_v yourself_o there_o be_v none_o shall_v more_o ready_o and_o cheerful_o serve_v you_o then_o myself_o who_o be_o and_o shall_v ever_o continue_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xxiv_o madam_n i_o have_v hear_v that_o artist_n do_v glory_n much_o in_o their_o glass_n tube_n engine_n and_o still_n and_o hope_v by_o their_o glass_n and_o tube_n to_o see_v invisible_a thing_n and_o by_o their_o engine_n to_o produce_v incredible_a effect_n and_o by_o their_o still_n fire_n and_o furnace_n to_o create_v as_o nature_n do_v but_o all_o this_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v do_v for_o art_n can_v arrive_v to_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o know_v perfect_o nature_n secret_a and_o fundamental_a action_n her_o pure_a matter_n and_o subtle_a motion_n and_o it_o be_v enough_o if_o artist_n can_v but_o produce_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v for_o man_n conveniency_n and_o use_n although_o they_o never_o can_v see_v the_o small_a or_o rare_a body_n nor_o great_a and_o vast_a body_n at_o a_o great_a distance_n nor_o make_v or_o create_v a_o vegetable_a animal_n or_o the_o like_a as_o nature_n do_v for_o nature_n be_v infinite_a have_v also_o infinite_a degree_n of_o figure_n size_n motion_n density_n rarity_n knowledge_n etc._n etc._n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o my_o book_n of_o philosophy_n as_o also_o in_o my_o book_n of_o poem_n especial_o that_o part_n that_o treat_v of_o little_a minute_n creature_n which_o i_o there_o do_v name_n for_o want_v of_o other_o expression_n fairy_n for_o i_o have_v consider_v much_o the_o several_a size_n of_o creature_n although_o i_o give_v it_o out_o but_o for_o a_o fancy_n in_o the_o mention_a book_n lest_o i_o shall_v be_v think_v extravagant_a to_o declare_v that_o conception_n of_o i_o for_o a_o rational_a truth_n but_o if_o some_o small_a body_n can_v be_v perfect_o see_v but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o magnify_v glass_n and_o such_o as_o they_o call_v microscopia_n i_o pray_v nature_n be_v infinite_a what_o figure_n and_o size_n may_v there_o not_o be_v which_o our_o eye_n with_o all_o the_o help_n of_o art_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o see_v for_o certain_o nature_n have_v more_o curiosity_n than_o our_o exterior_a sense_n help_v by_o art_n can_v perceive_v wherefore_o i_o can_v wonder_v enough_o at_o those_o that_o pretend_v to_o know_v the_o least_o or_o great_a part_n or_o creature_n in_o nature_n since_o no_o particular_a creature_n be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o but_o concern_v artist_n you_o will_v fain_o know_v madam_n whether_o the_o artist_n be_v behold_v to_o the_o conception_n of_o the_o student_n to_o which_o i_o return_v this_o short_a answer_n that_o in_o my_o judgement_n without_o the_o student_n conception_n the_o artist_n can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o make_v experiment_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o conception_n of_o studious_a man_n set_v the_o artist_n on_o work_n although_o many_o artist_n do_v ungrateful_o attribute_v all_o to_o their_o own_o industry_n neither_o do_v it_o always_o belong_v to_o the_o studious_a concepter_fw-la to_o make_v trial_n or_o experiment_n but_o he_o leave_v that_o work_n to_o other_o who_o time_n be_v not_o so_o much_o employ_v with_o thought_n or_o speculation_n as_o with_o action_n for_o the_o contemplator_n be_v the_o designer_n and_o the_o artist_n the_o workman_n or_o labourer_n who_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o his_o master_n as_o i_o do_v your_o ladyship_n
