the_o cum_fw-la ming_v of_o a_o tempest_n the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o how_o to_o behave_v himself_o in_o it_o either_o with_o change_a his_o course_n or_o poulling_n down_o his_o high_a top_n and_o

a_o archer_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n besides_o he_o that_o will_v know_v perfect_o the_o wind_n and_o wether_n must_v put_v difference_n betwixt_o time_n for_o diversity_n of_o time_n cause_v diversity_n of_o wether_n as_o in_o the_o whole_a year_n spring_n time_n summer_n fall_v of_o the_o leaf_n and_o winter_n likewise_o in_o one_o day_n morning_n noonetyme_o after_o noon_n and_o

so_o no_o man_n shoot_v cumly_a or_o near_a his_o mark_n than_o some_o weak_a archer_n do_v in_o a_o fair_a and_o clear_a day_n thus_o every_o archer_n must_v know_v not_o only_o what_o bow_n and_o
