middle_a nature_n as_o betwixt_o water_n and_o air_n for_o by_o the_o rarifaction_n it_o be_v not_o so_o gross_a nor_o so_o wet_a as_o water_n nor_o rarefy_v so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v as_o thin_a

for_o the_o equal_a hour_n and_o those_o dew_n and_o wind_n it_o will_v be_v as_o they_o think_v it_o be_v insufferable_o hot_a but_o they_o want_v information_n concern_v the_o dew_n and_o the_o

probable_a the_o pure_a thin_a and_o oile_v extract_v part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v in_o the_o tail_n which_o the_o radical_a fire_n inflame_v which_o flame_n be_v light_a and_o say_v she_o the_o

when_o it_o be_v high-tide_n we_o say_v it_o be_v full_a moon_n and_o when_o it_o be_v low-tide_n it_o be_v in_o the_o wane_n and_o as_o it_o increase_v or_o decrease_v we_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o

the_o water_n shine_v with_o the_o reflection_n or_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o do_v the_o moon_n as_o we_o say_v with_o a_o waterish_a light_n and_o say_v she_o it_o be_v more_o or_o less_o light_a as_o that_o side_n next_o to_o the_o sun_n be_v swell_v full_a or_o ebb_v low_a then_o they_o ask_v she_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o planet_n she_o say_v she_o believe_v that_o venus_n star_n be_v a_o body_n of_o water_n as_o the_o moon_n be_v but_o for_o the_o other_o planet_n say_v she_o i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v earthly_a body_n but_o not_o such_o as_o our_o globe_n be_v but_o much_o fine_a and_o of_o as_o great_a a_o difference_n say_v she_o as_o between_o porceline_n and_o clay_n which_o make_v they_o shine_v so_o bright_a the_o substance_n be_v so_o pure_a that_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v transparent_a then_o they_o ask_v what_o the_o fix_a star_n be_v she_o answer_v sun_n then_o they_o ask_v she_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o breath_n be_v hot_a and_o cold_a all_o at_o one_o time_n as_o it_o be_v for_o when_o a_o man_n breathe_v upon_o his_o hand_n it_o will_v feel_v hot_a and_o when_o he_o blow_v upon_o it_o it_o will_v feel_v cold_a she_o say_v there_o be_v a_o reason_n for_o that_o for_o say_v she_o a_o dilatation_n cause_v heat_n and_o a_o contraction_n cause_v cold_a and_o say_v she_o if_o one_o breathe_v on_o the_o hand_n they_o open_v the_o mouth_n and_o lip_n wide_a by_o which_o the_o breath_n dilatates_fw-la like_o a_o steam_n or_o a_o vapour_n which_o be_v hot_a and_o when_o one_o blow_n upon_o the_o hand_n than_o the_o mouth_n and_o lip_n be_v draw_v into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n and_o that_o contract_v the_o breath_n into_o a_o cold_a wind_n these_o several_a motion_n make_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n from_o one_o and_o same_o manner_n or_o passage_n to_o work_v two_o several_a effect_n and_o sure_o those_o wind_n that_o be_v cold_a from_o whence_o soever_o they_o issue_v out_o their_o passage_n be_v narrow_a and_o those_o wind_n that_o feel_v warm_a as_o many_o time_n wind_n will_v do_v their_o passage_n be_v wide_a and_o be_v rather_o a_o breathe_a vapour_n than_o a_o perfect_a wind._n there_o be_v nothing_o show_v that_o wind_n be_v make_v cold_a by_o contraction_n so_o much_o as_o to_o blow_v upon_o the_o hand_n which_o show_v that_o wind_n be_v contract_v air._n then_o they_o ask_v she_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n wind_n can_v blow_v out_o flame_n and_o in_o a_o flame_n it_o can_v kindle_v and_o put_v out_o fire_n she_o say_v that_o wind_n do_v strive_v to_o dissipate_v all_o thing_n it_o do_v encounter_v and_o where_o it_o have_v not_o so_o much_o power_n to_o dissipate_v it_o only_o dilatates_fw-la and_o when_o fire_n be_v set_v to_o any_o combustible_a matter_n as_o wood_n or_o the_o like_a the_o wind_n have_v not_o a_o forcible_a power_n to_o dissipate_v it_o into_o dust_n or_o ash_n it_o beat_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n into_o it_o and_o fire_n have_v a_o nature_n to_o catch_v hold_n and_o to_o dilatate_n and_o so_o to_o feed_v itself_o upon_o all_o thing_n or_o at_o least_o upon_o most_o when_o the_o matter_n be_v too_o hard_a for_o the_o siery-point_n to_o enter_v or_o at_o least_o to_o enter_v sudden_o the_o wind_n like_o a_o hammer_n strike_v they_o in_o and_o so_o lend_v the_o fire_n force_n and_o help_v the_o fire_n to_o extend_v by_o its_o dissipating-power_n dilatates_fw-la the_o heat_n into_o the_o smoke_n or_o vapour_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o so_o into_o a_o flame_n but_o when_o it_o put_v out_o fire_n or_o flame_n it_o be_v when_o it_o have_v so_o much_o force_n as_o to_o dissipate_v the_o matter_n the_o fire_n work_v on_o and_o if_o the_o wind_n destroy_v or_o disperse_v the_o matter_n it_o must_v needs_o put_v out_o the_o fire_n have_v nothing_o to_o work_v on_o for_o fire_n die_v when_o it_o have_v no_o fuel_n to_o work_v or_o feed_v on_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n a_o man_n with_o his_o breath_n can_v blow_v out_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o candle_n and_o with_o his_o breath_n blow_v the_o flame_n in_o again_o if_o the_o snuff_n of_o the_o candle_n be_v full_a and_o thorough_o fire_v or_o else_o he_o can_v but_o if_o it_o be_v full_a and_o thorough_o fire_v he_o may_v blow_v so_o hard_o as_o to_o dissipate_v the_o flame_n yet_o not_o so_o hard_a as_o to_o dissipate_v the_o fiery_a snuff_n or_o wieck_v of_o the_o candle_n so_o that_o the_o flame_n by_o the_o dissipate_v go_v out_o be_v dilatate_v to_o a_o dissipation_n and_o when_o the_o flame_n be_v out_o and_o the_o fire_n remain_v with_o a_o gentle_a wind_n he_o may_v dilatate_v the_o fire_n into_o a_o flame_n again_o and_o so_o many_o time_n as_o long_o as_o the_o body_n of_o fire_n remain_v but_o if_o they_o shall_v blow_v so_o hard_a or_o strong_o as_o to_o dissipate_v the_o body_n of_o fire_n they_o put_v out_o both_o fire_n and_o flame_n then_o they_o ask_v she_o what_o snow_n hail_o ice_n and_o frost_n be_v she_o answer_v that_o
