themselves_o or_o with_o the_o fix_a star_n so_o much_o more_o effectual_a the_o same_o shall_v be_v because_o of_o the_o slow_a variation_n of_o their_o declination_n which_o will_v cause_v they_o to_o continue_v parallel_n the_o long_o together_o whereas_o near_a unto_o the_o aequinoctial_a it_o be_v of_o less_o moment_n because_o their_o declination_n vary_v swift_o will_v also_o as_o
