which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o no_o comet_n can_v be_v see_v on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o tropic_n or_o within_o the_o zodiac_n where_o the_o extreme_a heat_n dissolve_v the_o matter_n that_o shall_v compose_v they_o so_o this_o season_n be_v clean_a contrary_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o comet_n which_o be_v hot_a and_o dry_a winter_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a but_o be_v it_o
