that_o if_o the_o magnetical_a axis_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v produce_v it_o will_v intersect_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o aether_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o move_v round_o upon_o and_o about_o

to_o east_n because_o it_o be_v so_o illuminate_v now_o i_o say_v that_o no_o magnet_n do_v or_o can_v so_o move_v but_o only_o from_o north_n to_o south_n or_o from_o south_n to_o north_n as_o may_v be_v try_v by_o any_o magnet_n or_o terrella_n which_o have_v verticity_n wherefore_o they_o great_o err_v who_o affirm_v any_o such_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o of_o any_o magnet_n about_o its_o axis_n for_o indeed_o if_o it_o shall_v so_o move_v about_o its_o axis_n according_a to_o the_o aequator_fw-la it_o can_v not_o also_o move_v from_o pole_n to_o pole_n according_a to_o the_o

which_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v show_v it_o can_v do_v diurnaly_n because_o that_o motion_n be_v according_a to_o the_o aequator_fw-la again_o verticity_n which_o be_v the_o only_a motion_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o magnet_n by_o itself_o be_v not_o circular_a but_o only_o from_o pole_n to_o pole_n semicircular_o and_o concursion_n of_o one_o magnet_n to_o another_o be_v not_o circular_a but_o direct_o progressive_a and_o therefore_o it_o may_v not_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o earth_n or_o planet_n do_v so_o magnetica_o move_v one_o about_o another_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o though_o the_o verticity_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v potentia_o in_o it_o yet_o it_o never_o be_v nor_o shall_v be_v actual_a for_o unless_o it_o can_v be_v move_v from_o its_o polar_a position_n there_o be_v no_o need_n nor_o use_v thereof_o and_o such_o potentialitys_n though_o they_o be_v never_o reduce_v into_o act_n be_v not_o vain_a because_o they_o be_v hypothetical_n and_o first_o
