arm_a loadstone_n touch_v it_o it_o will_v take_v up_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o iron_n than_o a_o plain_a and_o unarmed_a loadstone_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o substance_n

iron_n with_o iron_n touch_v therewith_o the_o second_o be_v of_o its_o turn_a north_n and_o south_n and_o also_o of_o its_o declination_n the_o three_o be_v of_o its_o penetrate_a through_o gold_n

of_o the_o substance_n but_o in_o this_o place_n we_o speak_v only_o of_o its_o first_o virtue_n namely_o of_o its_o coition_n or_o come_v together_o that_o be_v also_o a_o notable_a coition_n of_o

to_o hold_v a_o piece_n of_o gold_n in_o their_o mouth_n to_o gather_v together_o the_o emission_n of_o the_o quicksilver_n which_o will_v otherwise_o invade_v and_o penetrate_v their_o cranium_n and_o bone_n and_o cause_v the_o gold_n so_o hold_v in_o their_o mouth_n to_o turn_v white_a and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o lesser_a

the_o action_n to_o the_o touch_n as_o all_o congregate_a motion_n do_v but_o only_o elevate_v the_o body_n or_o cause_v they_o to_o swell_v and_o no_o more_o for_o if_o the_o moon_n raise_v the_o
