take any polar ImprelTion, as well as the aire of the Macrocofin , and by confs- quente is more Magneticall, or attractive in his Northern or cold property , than inhisiquinodiall orS luthern habit. Look conhderacely upon the aire included in the;Werher-glafsj whii-h lerv\;das a catholick demonltracion unto my precedent . Philofophy, and you lliall lee, that when the xquino6tiall , namely the Ealtern and Southern winds do blow ID the aire , the particular includedaire j and there- fore the univerfall Element of air excludedi is lefs Magnetick or attraftive , than when the Northern winds do blow. The proof is made evident , becaufe than when rhofe winds doblow, the externall aire, and therefore the internall, is more apt ro be dilated, by reafon of the Emanation of the Sulphureous or cclediall fpi- rits, which are included in each airy fpirit , from the Center unto the Circumfe- rence, making thereby a certain expuliion, or rather expanfion of airy parts, by laiifyingof thebody of it. And therefore it is obfervedin theInRrument> not to draw the water higher then the figure i, but to repell it down lower: Contrari- wife when the North wind:i blow, the dilated and mobil aire is by attrailion or condenfanon, contraited into inimobil fnow; that is to fay, into an earthly con- dition So that we fee that theaire in this eltate is admirably contra6\:ive , as it is expreffed to the life,'in thedemonllrativelnilrument or Wether-glafs : For the included Ipiric attrafterh the ponderous water upward , and cnntradeth it felf out of a large room or place, into a narrow Angle or fpace, as it appeareth when the No rhern Snow and Frolls, have had long dominion in the Macrocofmicall world, by a Northern breath, atwhich time we (laall find the water againit his nature, to be fu.ked upunro the upper figure 7. The reafon whereof I have fhevved you be- fore, namely becaufe the occult Sulphurous nature or fpirit , whiih istheSun of lighr, and the actor in life, beingcarried in his airy vehicle, flier h from the per- feruting rold, whi h is his adverfary, and armethit felf about in theCenter,witha condenfed aire, to hinder or b-eakthe univerfall affau't of cold, which is the inipe of darknefle, and therefor(i harh his feat at the pole, which is furthelt off from the prefence of the Sun. In like manner , the dead and cold Mummial fpirits being for this reafon Centrally contraAed, and as it were mortified and congealed by appli- cation of it to the lively Spirits, as the cold Northern aire, or fpirit unto the xquinoftiall or Southern Sun then reviving , and incited by the living man's con- tattuall or contiguous prefence, do greedily draw them in, as iirploring their aid againft their cold adverfary, and having the pofleirion of them feenieth better fatisfied. I will prove this to be fo by this demonilrative Example, taken from the Load-ftone,
1 1. DitfioHfiratiofi.
That the dead fpirits in a body, will not attracl unto them dead fpirits; nor, that lively fpirits in abody,will nor fujkuncothsm Magnetically lively fpirits, bu: very moderatly; it is argued by the operation of the Load-llone, in this manner-
Problem 1 .
The Southern pole of one Load-ftone doth with a certain hatred flie from, ana efchew the Southern pole of another, and will by no means be joyned together in friendfhip, but av^ideth by a naturall antipathy , thecontadiof one another. But if the Northern pole of the one be applied unto the Southern pole of the other, they will flicke and cleave together by adrongattraftion.
j^s for Example :
Take a Load-llone with his didinft poles , namely his Auft^all and Boreall qjh, [ ^ . pole being marked out ; put it into a little ve'ffellor boat to flote in a bafm, oryi/. ^/ ceftern, or tub of water, infuchamanner , that the two poles thereof be difpo- wd. Kii/. 8». fed untothe plain of the Horizon : then hold in your hand another Load-llone, 6" ??■ whole poles are well known unto you; So that the South-pole of that in your hand, be direfted to the North of that which floterh, the two not being far from one another , and you fhall find that the boat will follow your hand whither fo- everit moveth, and will not leave untill it deaveth unto it. But i£ contrariwife you {hall offer or apply the North-pole of that in your hand, unco the North-pole

cf chat in theboat,or cfie louth-pole ot thi one unco che fouth pole oc the other,you fhal perceive rhar the one Stone vvil b) his aipect drive away the other,& the little Bark will forthwith turn from it , as it the Helm thereof were moved another way.
Even fo the northern nacur'd Mummy will not at all, or but weakly, operate on his like; nor the fouthern, o: hot lively 'flelli,on his like ; but contrary poles will ad, and by amagnetickvcrruewiH be united unto one another, by the attractive faculty of the northern, or cold dead mans flefh or blood , which coveteihby afe- cret inrtinft the hot nature of the ^quinotliall fouth.
