so_o weigh_v id._n if_o thou_o let_v the_o water_n run_v out_o of_o the_o houre-glass_n from_o the_o sun_n rise_v one_o day_n till_o the_o sun_n rise_v on_o the_o morrow_n and_o then_o shall_v let_v

the_o water_n run_v through_o a_o hourglass_n from_o the_o sunrising_a to_o the_o sunset_n and_o observe_v the_o weight_n thou_o may_v by_o the_o balance_n at_o any_o time_n give_v a_o near_a guess_n

note_v the_o water_n run_v from_o the_o hourglass_n until_o the_o return_n of_o the_o same_o star_n to_o the_o same_o place_n and_o will_v do_v the_o like_a with_o the_o sun_n from_o his_o rise_n to_o

of_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o star_n id._n i_o think_v that_o by_o the_o variety_n of_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o water_n in_o several_a year_n and_o certain_a other_o difference_n in_o the_o weight_n of_o wood_n herb_n and_o grain_n one_o may_v guess_v at_o the_o future_a plenty_n or_o scarcity_n of_o corn_n better_a and_o soon_o by_o experiment_n past_a then_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o star_n for_o if_o in_o march_n there_o be_v such_o a_o proportion_n of_o weight_n find_v in_o water_n air_n and_o wood_n then_o will_v follow_v fruitfulness_n of_o the_o earth_n if_o otherwise_o

hunt_v after_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o star_n as_o by_o the_o increase_n or_o decrease_v of_o marrow_n in_o live_a creature_n fish_n and_o seacrabe_n in_o tree_n and_o rush_n we_o seek_v to_o
