the_o former_a light_n begin_v to_o move_v towards_o the_o north_n and_o to_o sink_v down_o low_o and_o as_o they_o move_v they_o divide_v in_o the_o midst_n one_o part_n to_o the_o north-east_n the_o

and_o grow_v very_o swift_a and_o furious_a in_o their_o motion_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o countermarch_v which_o motion_n continue_v near_o half_a a_o hour_n and_o then_o begin_v to_o cease_v

but_o very_o little_a of_o it_o appear_v on_o the_o north-west_n this_o three_o encounter_n continue_v rather_o long_o than_o the_o two_o former_a and_o at_o last_o begin_v to_o cease_v and_o to_o divide_v the_o one_o part_n from_o the_o other_o and_o still_o as_o they_o divide_v the_o form_n of_o tree_n or_o black_a and_o white_a strike_v vanish_v as_o before_o and_o one_o part_n move_v eastward_o the_o other_o westward_o until_o at_o length_n they_o come_v to_o their_o first_o station_n and_o to_o their_o first_o form_n the_o appearance_n of_o blood_n or_o fire_n also_o vanish_v there_o be_v still_o small_a light_n flash_v up_o and_o down_o &_o these_o two_o first_o light_n begin_v to_o stream_n upward_o as_o at_o the_o first_o till_o at_o length_n they_o meet_v again_o at_o the_o top_n and_o become_v the_o second_o time_n like_o unto_o a_o bow_n and_o then_o move_v northwards_o and_o then_o all_o the_o other_o motion_n and_o flashing_n cease_v and_o this_o light_n sink_v down_o low_o and_o low_a towards_o the_o north_n till_o it_o come_v to_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o great_a arch_n of_o a_o bridge_n support_v as_o it_o be_v at_o either_o end_n with_o a_o short_a
