dissolution_n and_o subtiliation_n and_o yet_o you_o shall_v plain_o discern_v how_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o the_o world_n do_v operate_v from_o the_o one_o extreme_a unto_o the_o other_o for_o when_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o south_n do_v dilate_v the_o air_n and_o the_o water_n there_o which_o the_o precedent_a winter_n have_v thicken_v and_o incrassated_a by_o attraction_n of_o

and_o again_o the_o northern_a property_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n be_v now_o in_o the_o winter_n time_n most_o potent_a do_v by_o attraction_n suck_v and_o direct_v magnetical_o those_o spirit_n

sulphureous_a nature_n which_o it_o bring_v from_o the_o summer_n or_o aequinoctial_a do_v immediate_o dissolve_v themselves_o into_o rain_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o southern_a wind_n be_v so_o rife_o among_o we_o in_o the_o winter_n and_o consequent_o that_o we_o have_v so_o much_o rain_n in_o that_o season_n so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v how_o the_o double_a property_n of_o

the_o vein_n do_v emit_v and_o direct_v his_o beam_n unto_o the_o ointment_n be_v easy_o attract_v and_o imbibe_v by_o the_o ointment_n but_o when_o that_o spirit_n be_v divert_v and_o turn_v
