these_o two_o have_v their_o dominion_n or_o depression_n by_o the_o presence_n or_o absence_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o also_o be_v the_o universal_a air_n more_o cold_a spisse_fw-la opake_v and_o

the_o near_o the_o sun_n be_v and_o the_o more_o perpendicular_a his_o beam_n be_v the_o great_a will_v the_o general_a air_n be_v rarefaction_n be_v and_o consequent_o of_o that_o particular_a air_n which_o be_v in_o the_o glass_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v absent_a from_o the_o boreall_n hemisphere_n namely_o when_o it_o move_v beyond_o the_o aequinoctial_a then_o will_v 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

they_o line_n other_o sort_n on_o which_o the_o virtue_n of_o thing_n do_v depend_v they_o err_v not_o much_o in_o this_o say_n only_o in_o appear_v to_o divide_v the_o godhead_n into_o diversity_n

that_o the_o thing_n corrupt_v do_v endue_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n corrupt_v as_o for_o example_n if_o the_o dead_a carcase_n of_o a_o man_n be_v corrupt_v in_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v

will_v prove_v very_o incommodious_a or_o unprofitable_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n and_o last_o by_o the_o inordinate_a violence_n of_o fire_n the_o spirit_n in_o the_o mummiall_a body_n will_v be_v consume_v waste_v or_o expire_v now_o the_o reason_n why_o these_o say_v corporal_a mummie_n in_o those_o estate_n be_v inconvenient_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o health_n be_v because_o the_o foresay_a three_o do_v so_o destroy_v and_o corrupt_v the_o body_n of_o they_o that_o they_o make_v and_o constrain_v his_o earth_n his_o water_n and_o his_o fire_n to_o

needs_o vanish_v and_o fly_v away_o for_o want_v of_o a_o natural_a body_n which_o be_v now_o become_v corrupt_v and_o destroy_v and_o therefore_o unnatural_a see_v therefore_o nothing_o be_v require_v in_o the_o true_a mummy_n more_o than_o that_o which_o be_v apt_a and_o proper_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o life_n yea_o for_o life_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o air_n which_o be_v
