from_o the_o stone_n when_o they_o meet_v with_o the_o iron_n they_o fly_v back_o and_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o iron_n hang_v and_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o those_o atom_n shall_v

of_o it_o be_v spread_v every_o way_n wherefore_o if_o a_o very_a little_a loadstone_n shall_v touch_v many_o small_a body_n of_o iron_n and_o these_o other_o and_o those_o other_o again_o and_o the_o

the_o iron_n touch_v with_o the_o stone_n or_o of_o they_o both_o the_o iron_n and_o the_o stone_n the_o simple_a effect_n of_o the_o stone_n be_v to_o draw_v the_o stone_n to_o respect_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n and_o such_o like_a also_o they_o be_v mix_v and_o compound_v we_o say_v therefore_o first_o that_o the_o stone_n have_v two_o point_n that_o stand_v opposite_a one_o to_o the_o

vessel_n full_a of_o water_n that_o it_o may_v move_v here_o and_o there_o and_o find_v no_o impediment_n let_v it_o so_o alone_o and_o the_o boat_n will_v never_o rest_v until_o the_o point_n of_o the_o stone_n stand_v full_a north_n and_o the_o opposite_a point_n full_a south_n when_o the_o boat_n stand_v still_o turn_v it_o about_o twice_o or_o thrice_o with_o your_o finger_n and_o so_o it_o will_v come_v again_o to_o rest_n and_o return_v to_o the_o same_o posture_n and_o this_o shall_v make_v you_o more_o certain_a of_o the_o north_n and_o south_n pole_n of_o it_o there_o be_v many_o more_o way_n to_o prove_v it_o for_o let_v it_o hang_v equal_o as_o in_o the_o mariner_n compass_n for_o where_o it_o can_v move_v of_o itself_o free_o it_o still_o direct_v to_o the_o same_o point_n and_o you_o may_v do_v the_o same_o if_o you_o hang_v it_o by_o a_o small_a thread_n hence_o we_o may_v easy_o learn_v to_o know_v which_o loadstone_n be_v the_o more_o perfect_a which_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o do_v by_o the_o former_a trial_n and_o find_v out_o what_o loadstone_n be_v void_a of_o virtue_n or_o most_o forcible_a for_o that_o loadstone_n that_o do_v soon_o bring_v about_o the_o

a_o loadstone_n of_o less_o virtue_n it_o will_v never_o lose_v any_o thing_n but_o continue_v immutable_a and_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n in_o its_o boat_n it_o will_v turn_v voluntary_o to_o its_o

make_v tender_a for_o example_n how_o to_o make_v sheep_n flesh_n tender_a the_o flesh_n of_o creature_n kill_v by_o their_o enemy_n especial_o such_o as_o they_o hate_v and_o fear_n will_v be_v very_o tender_a zoroaster_n in_o his_o geoponic_n say_v that_o sheep_n kill_v by_o wolf_n and_o bite_v their_o flesh_n will_v be_v more_o tender_a and_o so_o the_o sweet_a plutarch_n in_o symposiacis_n give_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o sheep_n flesh_n he_o say_v bite_v by_o a_o wolf_n become_v the_o sweet_a because_o the_o wolf_n by_o bite_v make_v the_o flesh_n more_o flaggy_a and_o tender_a for_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o wolf_n be_v so_o hot_a that_o the_o hard_a bone_n will_v consume_v in_o his_o stomach_n and_o melt_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n those_o thing_n will_v the_o soon_o corrupt_v that_o the_o wolf_n bite_v and_o both_o hunter_n and_o cook_n can_v testify_v that_o creature_n kill_v divers_a way_n be_v diverse_o affect_v some_o of_o these_o be_v kill_v at_o one_o blow_n that_o with_o one_o stroke_n they_o lie_v for_o dead_a yet_o other_o be_v hardly_o kill_v at_o many_o blow_n and_o which_o be_v more_o wonderful_a some_o by_o a_o wound_n give_v with_o

as_o sudden_o yet_o no_o such_o quality_n remain_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v kill_v and_o it_o will_v last_v some_o time_n moreover_o that_o a_o certain_a virtue_n when_o creature_n be_v slay_v or_o die_v come_v forth_o to_o their_o skin_n and_o hair_n and_o nail_n homer_n be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o who_o write_v of_o skin_n and_o thong_n a_o thong_n say_v he_o of_o a_o ox_n slay_v by_o

by_o the_o bite_n of_o beast_n their_o hoof_n will_v grow_v black_a and_o their_o hair_n fall_v off_o and_o their_o skin_n will_v wither_v and_o flag_n thus_o far_o plutarch_n but_o i_o think_v these_o thing_n be_v false_a for_o how_o shall_v sheep_n flesh_n grow_v tender_a by_o the_o wolf_n breath_n i_o understand_v it_o not_o for_o other_o creature_n that_o be_v kill_v by_o their_o enemy_n and_o flesh_n of_o a_o contrary_a nature_n do_v also_o grow_v tender_a where_o there_o be_v no_o hot_a vapour_n but_o i_o think_v that_o the_o absence_n of_o blood_n make_v the_o flesh_n tender_a for_o these_o reason_n quail_n and_o pheasant_n kill_v by_o hawk_n be_v very_o tender_a but_o their_o heart_n be_v find_v full_a of_o blood_n and_o hard_o within_o they_o dear_a and_o boar_n kill_v by_o dog_n be_v more_o tender_a but_o hard_a if_o by_o gun_n and_o about_o the_o heart_n the_o part_n be_v so_o hard_o that_o they_o can_v scarce_o be_v boil_v fear_v of_o death_n drive_v the_o blood_n to_o the_o heart_n the_o other_o part_n be_v bloodless_a as_o shall_v appear_v by_o the_o follow_a experiment_n as_o how_o goose_n duck_n pheasant_n quail_n and_o other_o bird_n become_v most_o tender_a this_o be_v easy_o do_v if_o we_o hunt_v they_o and_o fly_v hawk_n and_o other_o bird_n of_o prey_n at_o they_o for_o whilst_o they_o fight_v they_o strive_v to_o be_v go_v and_o they_o be_v sometime_o hold_v in_o the_o falcon_n talent_n and_o be_v wound_v with_o divers_a stroke_n and_o this_o make_v they_o so_o tender_a that_o it_o be_v wonderful_a wherefore_o when_o we_o will_v eat_v cram_v bird_n we_o shall_v purposely_o fly_v a_o hawk_n at_o they_o and_o be_v kill_v by_o they_o shall_v grow_v more_o tender_a to_o be_v desire_v so_o that_o ox-flesh_n may_v grow_v tender_a especial_o of_o old_a ox_n for_o they_o be_v dry_a and_o hard_a and_o will_v not_o easy_o boil_v the_o butcher_n set_v hound_n at_o they_o and_o let_v they_o prey_n upon_o they_o and_o they_o will_v for_o some_o hour_n defend_v themselves_o with_o their_o horn_n at_o last_o be_v overcome_v by_o multitude_n of_o dog_n they_o fall_v with_o their_o ear_n tear_v and_o bit_n in_o their_o skin_n these_o bring_v into_o the_o shambles_n and_o cut_v out_o be_v more_o tender_a than_o ordinary_a some_o of_o they_o fight_v open_o with_o bear_n and_o sometime_o kill_v by_o they_o if_o any_o of_o the_o body_n be_v leave_v it_o will_v be_v so_o tender_a that_o it_o will_v melt_v in_o a_o man_n mouth_n we_o may_v do_v the_o same_o if_o we_o keep_v creature_n sometime_o in_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o the_o long_o you_o keep_v they_o so_o the_o tender_a they_o will_v be_v for_o to_o make_v hen_n tender_a we_o fright_v they_o off_o from_o high_a tower_n so_o we_o do_v turkey_n peacock_n and_o
