what_o be_v say_v before_o 1_o that_o a_o drop_n of_o water_n turn_v into_o air_n require_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o space_n 2_o that_o the_o air_n be_v a_o very_a liquid_a and_o movable_a

progenerate_v there_o in_o great_a abundance_n but_o you_o must_v note_v that_o those_o etesian_a wind_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n weak_a and_o gentle_a and_o yield_v to_o the_o free_a wind_n note_v 2_o there_o be_v also_o another_o kind_n of_o set_a wind_n common_a to_o the_o whole_a world_n namely_o a_o perpetual_a flux_n of_o the_o whole_a air_n from_o the_o east_n to_o the_o west_n for_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o wind_n 1_o they_o that_o sail_n about_o the_o aequator_fw-la testify_v 2_o in_o the_o sea_n of_o europe_n when_o a_o particular_a wind_n cease_v they_o say_v

a_o great_a circle_n very_o notable_o whence_o this_o problem_n may_v be_v profitable_o note_v why_o the_o east_n wind_n dry_v but_o the_o west_n moisten_v namely_o because_o that_o be_v carry_v
