A04327	Magneticall aduertisements: or Diuers pertinent obseruations, and approued experiments, concerning the natures and properties of the load-stone Very pleasant for knowledge, and most needfull for practise, of trauelling, or framing of instruments fit for trauellers both by sea and land. Whereunto is anexed a breife discouerie of the idle animaduersions of Mark Ridley Dr. in Physicke, vpon a treatise entituled Magneticall aduertisements.

their boxes for the Horizontal needle standeth more fitter for his motion being placed with his capitell vpon the poynt of his sharpe pinne than the inclinatory can doe being placed vpon the two ends of his axis although neuer so neere the poynts But yet he will doe very well if he be rightly fitted And for Nauigation vnder either Pole if there be any passage that way it is the onely Instrument of the world For where the Horizontall needle or compasse faileth he is strongest for the neerer the Pole the stronger he is in his Motion contrariwise it is with the Horizontall needle or compasse for he is strongest at the Aequinoctial and of no force vnder the Pole The reason whereof is this vnder the Aequinoctiall the Horizontall needle standeth paralell vnto the Axis of the earth and is equally strengthened for his motion with the two poles of the earth but vnder the poles hee standeth crosse-wise at right angles with the Axis his center representing the very pole of the earth it selfe so that the Aequinoctiall and the Horizon being there all one if the needle should haue any Horizontall motion there it must needes be an East or West motion paralell vnto the Aequinoctiall directly contrary vnto nature and to all Magneticall doctrine Yet at the pole the inclinatory needle is in his cheefest strength framing himselfe to bee in the same direct line with the Axis of the earth it selfe so that the vicinity of the neerest pole of the earth holdeth his conuenient end of the needle most strongly being nothing at all hindered by the aduerse pole to affect the vpper or other end of the needle The which in all other scituations either more or lesse it doth and especially vnder the Aequinoctiall where each pole affecting his conuenient end of the inclinatory needle it must stand very goglingly and vnsteddily for that motion although most strongly for the Horizontall if you place him accordingly Where hence it followeth that neere the Aequinoctiall large compasses and small inclinatories are fittest and neere the poles large inclinatories and small compasses are best for looke vnto what motion the Magneticall force is weakest the smaller instruments ought for to be applied And moreouer for as much as the Magneticall reuolution of the inclinatory needle about the globe of the earth maketh his motion for the difference of euery alteration of Latitude neere vnto the Aequinoctiall farre more large easier to be discerned then it can be neere the poles therefore a lesse Instrument will serue the turne there And because that neere the pole his motion for differences of Latitudes are exceeding small and hard to be discerned Therefore very large instruments inclinatory are there to bee vsed especially because the Magneticall strength of the needle for that motion is there so strong and steddy that it maketh som recompence for the slowuesse of his moouing And therefore I suppose that three in Diameter will serue neere the Aequinoctiall and fifteene neere the Pole And because this great one may be the lesse cumbersome you may cut off the circle at forty and fiue degrees of each side of the Zenith and Nadir of the Instruments and yet leaue the needle scope enough for all Latitudes between sixty Degrees and the Pole and for the the steddy standing of the inclinatory instrument at the sea you may doe thus about the middle of the instrument or rather somwhat aboue the middle let there be two round pins of brasse about three quarters of an inch long issue out and in a box of a sayling Compasse the inner circle being taken away make of each side two halfe round notches in the outer circle there place the Instrument vpon those two pins the which must haue towards their ends littles circles cut in that they slip not out of their rings that they are placed in then will this Instrument stand as steddy euen at sea as the sayling compasse will doe for the motion of the inner circle is performed by the turning of those two pins in their notches and the outer circle is common vnto them both alwaies remembring that you hang some pretty waight in the bottome of the instrument to make his motion more certaine If the shaddowing of the box hinder your sight from discerning the point that the needle standeth at it is soon holpen with the light of a little waxe candle put downe vnto it and yet this you ought to vnderstand as aforesayd that the Horizontal and inclinatory motions are but one and the selfe same effect of the touch of the Loadstone and one and the selfe same needle will very well performe both motions namely the inclinatory needle not the Horizontall because his placing vpon the pinne maketh him very vnfit for the inclining motion But the inclinatory needle resting with one poynt of his Axis the poynts of his Axis being very sharpe in his little hole his boxe being placed paralell vnto the Horizon will performe the Horizontall motion very well For being placed with the sharp point of his axis in that hole it is all one in effect as the Horizontal is with his capitel on the sharp point of his pin but that the one is vpward and the other downward yet either of them being as fit for that motion as the other Vpon the consideration hereof my workman of Winchester minding to present Prince Henry with a rare Instrument contriued an Aequinoctiall Diall an Inclinatory Instrument both in one and one needle to serue very well both those turnes Heerein now appeareth the wonderfull wisdome of our God in limitting his times and seasons for the reuealing of these wonderfull properties for the vse of men in this poore stone namely that aboue 2000. yeeres after that it was knowen and wondred at in the world for lifting vp of iron for it was an antiquity in Platoes time the vse of the Horizontall needle was known in common vse scant 200. yeeres agone and very few yeeres since yea scant as yet the inclinatory is in any common vse and who is there that can behold and consider both these vses viz. both to shew the quarters of the world as East West North and South c. and also the Latitude of the place to know both these in any place of the world bee the heauens neuer so much ouercast with clowds who is he I say that can beholde these two admirable and precious vses performed euen with the turning of an hand the which neither the Grecian Philosophers nor the fine-witted Romans nor the Persian Magi nor the Indian Gymnosophists could finde out with all their skill and cunning but he must needs say with that Kingly Prophet O Lord our Lord how great is thy name through all the Earth who hast set thy glory aboue the Heauens To the Worshipfull my good friend Mr. William Barlow at Easton by Winchester REcommendations with many thanks for all your paines and courtesies for your diligence and enquiring
