[CHAP. III].

How Iron acquires Verticity through
a Loadstone, and how that verticity
is lost and changed.


[CHAP. IIII].

Why Iron touched by a Loadstone acquires an opposite
verticity, and why iron touched by the true Northern side of a stone
turns to the North of the earth, by the true Southern side
to the South; and does not turn to the South when rubbed
by the Northern point of the stone, and when by
the Southern to the North, as all who have
written on the loadstone have
falsely supposed.
