we_o may_v thus_o far_o rational_o conclude_v that_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o wind_n be_v various_a so_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o transverse_a motion_n be_v not_o always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o i_o have_v frequent_o observe_v that_o not_o only_o the_o north_n but_o most_o other_o wind_n seem_v many_o time_n rather_o somewhat_o to_o descend_v then_o blow_v in_o a_o exact_a perpendicular_a

low_o then_o where_o they_o come_v to_o the_o just_a counterpoise_n of_o the_o air._n so_o that_o if_o the_o flatulent_a vapour_n have_v gravity_n enough_o especial_o after_o they_o be_v condense_v in_o the_o cold_o region_n to_o invite_v they_o downward_o and_o yet_o the_o resistance_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n sufficient_a in_o a_o great_a measure_n to_o check_v and_o retard_v their_o descent_n this_o must_v necessary_o divert_v they_o from_o their_o precipice_n incline_v they_o rather_o to_o a_o mix_a and_o collateral_a motion_n for_o though_o wind_n be_v general_o heavyer_n than_o the_o

they_o blow_v oblique_o or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o perpendicular_o to_o the_o horizon_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v because_o the_o vapour_n be_v natural_o determine_v to_o any_o such_o
