As Attraction Is Stronger In Small Magnets Than In Great Ones In Proportion To Their Bulk, And Gravity Is Greater In The Surfaces Of Small Planets Than In Those Of Great Ones In Proportion To Their Bulk, And Small Bodies Are Agitated Much More By Electric Attraction Than Great Ones; So The Smallness Of The Rays Of Light May Contribute Very Much To The Power Of The Agent By Which They Are Refracted.

The Changing Of Bodies Into Light, And Light Into Bodies, Is Very Conformable To The Course Of Nature, Which Seems Delighted With Transmutations.

Errors Are Not In The Art But In The Artificers.
