no_o more_o than_o we_o can_v imagine_v that_o the_o wind_n itself_o do_v the_o like_a be_v of_o his_o other_o experience_n when_o he_o observe_v that_o some_o little_a grain_n of_o sawdust_n hang_v

such_o secret_n as_o nature_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o hide_v from_o we_o wherefore_o our_o reader_n i_o be_o sure_a will_v not_o in_o this_o subject_n expect_v clear_a satisfaction_n or_o plain_a

that_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o lie_v under_o the_o zodiac_n now_o look_v into_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o we_o find_v that_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o sun_n heat_n which_o reflect_v from_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o torrid_a zone_n must_v rarify_v the_o air_n extreme_o and_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o heat_n and_o fire_n must_v needs_o carry_v away_o from_o thence_o many_o part_n of_o the_o air_n and_o earth_n stick_v to_o that_o heat_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o have_v former_o declare_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o other_o air_n must_v necessary_o come_v

easy_o persuade_v our_o selus_fw-la must_v reach_v on_o each_o side_n to_o the_o very_a pole_n for_o take_v from_o archimedes_n that_o the_o spherical_a superficies_n of_o a_o portion_n of_o a_o

from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n neither_o let_v any_o man_n apprehend_v that_o this_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v elevate_n so_o great_a quantity_n of_o atom_n in_o the_o torrid_a zone_n
