so_o that_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v partly_o drive_v and_o press_v down_o in_o the_o south_n by_o heat_n and_o consequent_o with_o the_o great_a ease_n draw_v up_o at_o the_o north_n and_o

genius_n of_o the_o first_o which_o be_v his_o enemy_n be_v more_o powerful_a and_o therefore_o the_o two_o earthly_a subject_n of_o these_o different_a star_n be_v present_a and_o emit_v the_o beam_n of_o their_o nature_n those_o beam_n must_v of_o necessity_n work_v antipathetical_o with_o one_o another_o and_o the_o strong_a must_v prevail_v no_o otherwise_o than_o the_o two_o star_n of_o

not_o that_o the_o weak_a beam_n be_v antipathetical_a unto_o the_o strong_a be_v always_o that_o the_o strong_a passion_n be_v in_o the_o weak_a as_o the_o action_n remain_v in_o the_o strong_a but_o
