because_o the_o sunbeam_n reach_v high_a in_o summertime_n than_o they_o do_v in_o winter_n therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v conclude_v that_o in_o summer_n the_o middle_a region_n be_v lesser_a and_o the_o low_a great_a than_o in_o winter_n now_o it_o be_v the_o general_a opinion_n of_o philosopher_n that_o the_o supreme_a or_o upper_a region_n be_v accidental_o warm_a either_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o fiery_a and_o sulphureous_a exhalation_n which_o ascend_v thither_o or_o because_o of_o the_o violent_a motion_n of_o the_o sphere_n from_o east_n to_o west_n or_o last_o according_a to_o aristotle_n because_o it_o be_v next_o to_o the_o elementary_a fire_n which_o he_o place_n in_o the_o concave_n of_o the_o moon_n the_o middle_a region_n be_v cold_a and_o the_o low_a be_v sometime_o

be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o agitation_n or_o a_o strong_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n occasion_v chief_o by_o the_o sun_n and_o by_o vapour_n and_o exhalation_n for_o the_o sun_n by_o its_o

by_o their_o conflict_n with_o the_o cold_a air_n they_o meet_v in_o that_o region_n but_o there_o be_v other_o cause_n assign_v for_o the_o wind._n as_o the_o cloud_n when_o they_o rarify_v or_o

but_o then_o by_o the_o east_n you_o must_v understand_v the_o east_n equinoctial_a that_o be_v where_o the_o sun_n rise_v in_o a_o equinox_n and_o according_o by_o the_o west_n you_o must_v

among_o which_o those_o that_o be_v just_a in_o the_o middle_n betwixt_o two_o cardinal_n wind_n be_v count_v the_o chief_a so_o reckon_v the_o four_o cardinal_n wind_n there_o be_v in_o all_o 32._o
