the_o common_a air_n in_o that_o hemisphere_n wax_v cold_a and_o be_v contract_v and_o condense_a and_o consequent_o the_o particular_a air_n in_o the_o glass_n will_v be_v contract_v after_o the_o

that_o i_o have_v show_v you_o thus_o much_o mark_v that_o when_o the_o sun_n come_v new_o into_o a_o hemisphere_n where_o winter_n do_v reign_v or_o have_v dominion_n and_o therefore_o the_o cold_a

the_o same_o spirit_n to_o life_n death_n and_o resurrection_n we_o may_v easy_o gather_v it_o if_o we_o will_v consider_v with_o ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v the_o all-inaâ—ting_a spirit_n of_o
