by_o the_o privative_a and_o northern_a act_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o do_v operate_v by_o cold_a and_o the_o other_o by_o his_o positive_a operation_n which_o be_v guide_v by_o heat_n now_o as_o 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

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 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

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

presence_n of_o the_o divine_a puissance_n which_o be_v darkness_n for_o as_o we_o say_v the_o absence_n of_o heat_n be_v the_o presence_n of_o cold_a which_o be_v the_o essential_a worker_n in_o the_o divine_a puissance_n and_o again_o the_o presence_n of_o heat_n be_v the_o absence_n of_o cold_a so_o also_o the_o absence_n of_o positive_a light_n conceive_v privative_a darkness_n and_o the_o absence_n of_o privative_a darkness_n impart_v the_o presence_n of_o positive_a light_n we_o may_v easy_o hereupon_o collect_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o annual_a wind_n and_o perceive_v what_o their_o external_a be_v and_o how_o that_o air_n be_v animate_v by_o the_o vivify_a spirit_n which_o be_v send_v out_o from_o the_o sun_n consider_v therefore_o that_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v present_a with_o we_o the_o summer_n be_v create_v by_o his_o presence_n the_o air_n be_v calefacted_a by_o the_o bright_a beam_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o by_o calefaction_n be_v rarify_v and_o by_o reason_n of_o rarefaction_n of_o part_n require_v a_o large_a place_n for_o his_o existency_n as_o for_o example_n we_o put_v two_o pound_n of_o vitreol_n into_o a_o retort_n and_o fasten_v the_o nose_n thereof_o unto_o a_o huge_a recipient_a or_o receiver_n stop_v the_o joint_n fast_o that_o the_o spirit_n do_v no_o way_n expire_v we_o force_v out_o the_o spirit_n from_o the_o retort_n into_o the_o receiver_n and_o we_o find_v it_o try_v by_o experience_n that_o part_n of_o the_o vitreol_n be_v dilate_v into_o spirit_n those_o spirit_n find_v the_o ample_a receiver_n not_o sufficient_a to_o contain_v they_o do_v violent_o break_v the_o receiver_n into_o a_o infinity_n of_o piece_n whereby_o it_o be_v make_v plain_a that_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v condense_v will_v occupy_v but_o a_o small_a

when_o the_o sun_n be_v present_a the_o air_n include_v be_v forthwith_o dilate_v more_o or_o less_o according_a unto_o the_o vigour_n of_o the_o solar_n spirit_n and_o wind_n that_o blow_v but_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
