most_o clear_o demonstrate_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o air_n include_v in_o the_o weatherglass_n have_v in_o every_o respect_n a_o relation_n unto_o the_o air_n or_o catholic_a element_n of_o the_o

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

descent_n thereof_o this_o therefore_o be_v well_o conceive_v or_o understand_v and_o that_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o rarefaction_n be_v the_o presence_n of_o this_o divine_a act_n in_o the_o sunny_a

of_o matter_n which_o be_v his_o patient_n and_o form_n which_o be_v his_o agent_n and_o as_o matter_n do_v first_o proceed_v of_o the_o watery_a subject_n which_o do_v issue_n out_o of_o the_o dark_a
