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 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

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

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
