It is also improbable and something singular what some conceive, and _Eusebius Nierembergius_, a learned Jesuit of _Spain_ delivers, that the body of man is magnetical, and being placed in a Boat, the Vessel will never rest untill the head respecteth the North. If this be true, the bodies of Christians do lye unnaturally in their Graves. King _Cheops_ in his Tomb, and the _Jews_ in their beds have fallen upon the natural position: who reverentially declining the situation of their Temple, nor willing to lye as that stood, do place their Beds from North to South, and delight to sleep Meridionally. This Opinion confirmed would much advance the Microcosmical conceit, and commend the Geography of _Paracelsus_, who according to the Cardinal points of the World divideth the body of man: and therefore working upon humane ordure, and by long preparation rendring it odoriferous, he terms it _Zibeta Occidentalis_, Western _Civet_; making the face the East, but the posteriours the _America_ or Western part of his Microcosm. The verity hereof might easily be tried in _Wales_, where there are portable Boats, and made of Leather, which would convert upon the impulsion of any verticity; and seem to be the same whereof in his description of _Britain Cæsar_ hath left some mention. [Sidenote: _Anagrammatically._] Another kind of verticity, is that which _Angelus doce mihi jus_, _alias_, _Michael Sundevogis_, in a Tract _De Sulphure_, discovereth in Vegetables, from sticks let fall or depressed under water; which equally framed and permitted unto themselves, will ascend at the upper end, or that which was vertical in their vegetation; wherein notwithstanding, as yet, we have not found satisfaction. Although perhaps too greedy of Magnalities, we are apt to make but favourable experiments concerning welcome Truths, and such desired verities. It is also wondrous strange what _Lælius Bisciola_ reporteth, that if unto ten ounces of Loadstone one of Iron be added, it encreaseth not unto eleven, but weighs ten ounces still. [SN: Horæ subsecivæ.] A relation inexcusable in a work of leisurable hours: the examination being as ready as the relation, and the falsity tried as easily as delivered. Nor is it to be omitted what is taken up by the _Cœsius Bernardus_ a late Mineralogist, and originally confirmed by _Porta_, that Needles touched with a _Diamond_ contract a verticity, even as they do with a Loadstone, which will not consist with experiment. And therefore, as _Gilbertus_ observeth, he might be deceived, in touching such Needles with _Diamonds_, which had a verticity before, as we have declared most Needles to have; and so had he touched them with Gold or Silver, he might have concluded a magnetical vertue therein.
