those_o ancient_a movement_n you_o speak_v of_o do_v in_o our_o day_n seem_v many_o of_o they_o to_o be_v very_o little_o wear_v yet_o i_o will_v prove_v to_o you_o by_o plain_a and_o evident_a reason_n that_o those_o clock_n and_o watch_n which_o we_o make_v now_o a_o day_n though_o the_o wheel_n and_o other_o part_n be_v compose_v of_o brass_n the_o soft_a metal_n shall_v in_o the_o general_a out_o last_o all_o other_o whatsoever_o provide_v it_o be_v true_o and_o religious_o wrought_v to_o prove_v which_o consider_v first_o that_o the_o service_n of_o all_o pinion_n be_v in_o such_o proportion_n to_o the_o wheel_n that_o move_v they_o or_o be_v move_v by_o they_o as_o their_o number_n be_v one_o to_o another_o so_o that_o if_o a_o wheel_n contain_v sixty_o tooth_n and_o the_o pinion_n which_o it_o move_v about_o contain_v but_o six_o the_o service_n of_o this_o pinion_n must_v needs_o be_v ten_o time_n as_o much_o as_o the_o service_n of_o that_o wheel_n because_o it_o make_v ten_o revolution_n to_o the_o wheel_v one_o and_o so_o by_o consequence_n every_o tooth_n or_o leaf_n of_o that_o pinion_n must_v be_v wear_v ten_o time_n as_o much_o as_o every_o tooth_n in_o that_o wheel_n to_o make_v therefore_o these_o wheel_n and_o pinion_n to_o wear_v a_o like_a and_o continue_v the_o one_o as_o long_o as_o the_o other_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o pinion_n shall_v be_v so_o many_o degree_n more_o hard_a and_o durable_a as_o its_o proportion_n of_o wear_v be_v than_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o wheel_n which_o move_v it_o by_o which_o mean_v they_o will_v wear_v better_a and_o continue_v long_o without_o reparation_n then_o otherwise_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v for_o if_o you_o observe_v those_o german_a movement_n you_o speak_v of_o who_o wheel_n and_o pinion_n and_o other_o part_n be_v all_o of_o steel_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o pinion_n irrepairable_o decay_v when_o the_o wheel_n be_v never_o the_o worse_o for_o since_o that_o almost_o all_o the_o wear_n to_o which_o those_o part_n be_v liable_a be_v lay_v one_o the_o pinion_n we_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v soon_o wear_v out_o by_o just_a half_a the_o time_n than_o they_o otherwise_o will_v have_v be_v if_o the_o wheel_n have_v be_v make_v of_o such_o a_o metal_n who_o proportion_n of_o hardness_n or_o softness_n will_v have_v admit_v a_o equal_a share_n of_o wear_v with_o it_o which_o ill_a conveniency_n be_v all_o avoid_v by_o that_o method_n of_o work_v now_o a_o day_n use_v in_o frame_v of_o these_o movement_n there_o fore_n in_o this_o sort_n of_o work_n take_v this_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n where_o there_o be_v no_o exception_n that_o what_o proportion_n of_o wear_v one_o part_n bear_v unto_o another_o such_o a_o proportion_n of_o hardness_n shall_v the_o metal_n of_o the_o one_o have_v above_o the_o other_o to_o make_v they_o wear_v equal_a and_o continue_v long_o in_o that_o placide_fw-la estate_n of_o motion_n which_o be_v requisite_a in_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n chi_fw-mi i_o be_o now_o in_o part_n convince_v of_o my_o error_n but_o yet_o i_o think_v your_o general_a rule_n hold_v not_o good_a in_o all_o part_n of_o a_o clock_n for_o then_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o in_o clock_n you_o make_v their_o pevet_n which_o be_v of_o steel_n to_o move_v in_o frame_n of_o brass_n this_o according_a to_o your_o general_a rule_n can_v wear_v equal_o because_o they_o be_v substance_n of_o unequal_a hardness_n yet_o perform_v both_o the_o same_o task_n whence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o more_o soft_a must_v needs_o be_v more_o sensiable_a of_o the_o wear_n then_o that_o which_o be_v more_o hard_a therefore_o how_o can_v your_o method_n of_o work_v be_v good_a in_o these_o part_n art_n the_o rule_n and_o method_n hold_v good_a still_o with_o our_o exception_n for_o though_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a convenience_n in_o other_o part_n yet_o in_o pevet_n and_o their_o receptacle_n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o reason_n require_v if_o '_o twear_z possible_a that_o all_o the_o wear_n to_o which_o those_o part_n be_v subject_a shall_v be_v in_o the_o pevet_fw-la hole_n and_o not_o in_o the_o pevet_v themselves_o for_o when_o pevet_n be_v wear_v and_o decay_v there_o be_v no_o repair_v they_o without_o new_a pinion_n which_o be_v exceed_o chargeable_a whereas_o pevet-hole_n be_v more_o easy_o reduce_v and_o with_o far_o small_a cost_n thus_o of_o two_o evil_n we_o have_v choose_v the_o least_o chi._n why_o be_v true_a proportion_n and_o uniform_a figure_n require_v to_o make_v the_o movement_n of_o a_o clock_n more_o lasting_a and_o durable_a art_n true_a proportion_n and_o uniform_a figure_n be_v require_v because_o without_o it_o movement_n of_o this_o nature_n can_v perform_v and_o we_o count_v a_o clock_n to_o be_v wear_v or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o to_o be_v of_o no_o value_n when_o he_o cease_v to_o perform_v that_o office_n for_o which_o he_o be_v design_v if_o therefore_o the_o tooth_n of_o the_o pinion_n be_v not_o proportional_a to_o the_o tooth_n of_o the_o wheel_n or_o the_o tooth_n of_o both_o to_o themselves_o if_o the_o pevet_n be_v too_o big_a or_o too_o little_a if_o the_o wheel_n be_v too_o large_a or_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o work_n too_o heavy_a and_o cumbersome_a it_o be_v certain_a this_o clock_n be_v not_o of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o be_v account_v the_o best_a chi._n what_o be_v require_v in_o its_o officiousness_n to_o make_v it_o good_a or_o
