the_o same_o figure_n chap._n 96._o of_o the_o needle_n i_o perceive_v the_o north_n attraction_n of_o the_o loadstone_n be_v not_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n of_o attraction_n as_o the_o loadstone_n attract_v iron_n for_o the_o attraction_n of_o the_o loadstone_n draw_v iron_n to_o it_o but_o the_o attraction_n of_o the_o north_n draw_v the_o loadstone_n towards_o it_o by_o the_o turn_n it_o that_o way_n as_o the_o sun_n will_v do_v the_o the_o head_n of_o some_o sort_n of_o flower_n for_o if_o the_o north_n attract_v the_o loadstone_n as_o the_o loadstone_n iron_n the_o loadstone_n will_v be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n travel_v to_o the_o north_n pole_n unless_o it_o be_v fix_v but_o i_o do_v not_o hear_v that_o a_o loadstone_n do_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o place_n wherein_o it_o be_v but_o it_o turn_v as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o face_n towards_o it_o now_o the_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o the_o loadstone_n turn_v itself_o towards_o the_o north_n or_o the_o north_n turn_v by_o compulsion_n or_o by_o sympathy_n the_o experiment_n will_v be_v by_o iron_n that_o if_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o iron_n shall_v be_v say_v at_o one_o side_n of_o the_o needle_n whether_o the_o needle_n will_v not_o vary_v from_o the_o north_n towards_o the_o iron_n if_o it_o do_v it_o show_v the_o loadstone_n turn_v itself_o towards_o the_o north_n or_o else_o it_o can_v not_o turn_v from_o the_o north_n for_o certain_o the_o north_n have_v a_o great_a operative_a power_n to_o turn_v the_o loadstone_n to_o it_o than_o the_o loadstone_n can_v have_v to_o turn_v itself_o from_o it_o so_o if_o a_o quantity_n of_o iron_n can_v cause_v the_o needle_n to_o vary_v it_o show_v that_o the_o loadstone_n turn_v to_o the_o north_n by_o a_o self_n motion_n and_o not_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o north_n that_o make_v it_o turn_v to_o it_o but_o if_o it_o vary_v not_o towards_o the_o iron_n than_o the_o north_n force_v it_o unless_o the_o loadstone_n take_v more_o delight_n to_o view_v the_o north_n frown_v face_n then_o to_o embrace_v hard_a iron_n or_o that_o the_o feed_a appetite_n be_v strong_a than_o the_o view_v delight_n for_o it_o only_o turn_v itself_o to_o the_o face_n of_o the_o north_n but_o if_o it_o turn_v not_o itself_o the_o north_n force_v it_o to_o turn_v which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o be_v to_o be_v find_v by_o the_o experiment_n of_o iron_n but_o if_o it_o turn_v itself_o i_o believe_v it_o may_v receive_v some_o refreshment_n from_o those_o ray_n which_o stream_n from_o the_o north_n for_o all_o thing_n turn_v with_o self-end_n for_o certain_o every_o thing_n have_v self-love_n even_o hard_a stone_n although_o they_o seem_v insensible_a so_o the_o loadstone_n may_v work_v as_o various_a effect_n upon_o several_a subject_n as_o fire_n but_o by_o reason_n we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o experience_n of_o one_o as_o the_o other_o the_o strangeness_n create_v a_o wonder_n for_o the_o old_a say_n be_v that_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o admiration_n but_o fire_n which_o produce_v great_a effect_n by_o invisible_a motion_n yet_o we_o stand_v not_o at_o such_o amaze_v as_o at_o the_o loadstone_n because_o these_o effect_n be_v familiar_a unto_o we_o but_o per_fw-la chance_n the_o loadstone_n be_v nourish_v by_o iron_n as_o many_o creature_n be_v by_o heat_n for_o though_o the_o creature_n be_v nourish_v there_o with_o yet_o the_o heat_n alter_v not_o its_o virtue_n nor_o the_o body_n in_o whichthe_a heat_n inhere_n lose_v not_o the_o property_n of_o heat_n the_o sun_n be_v
