evident_a relation_n between_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o northern_a hemisphere_n and_o those_o of_o the_o southern_a forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v express_v before_o that_o the_o southerly_a air_n

which_o stretch_v from_o north_n to_o south_n be_v the_o head_n from_o whence_o all_o spring_n and_o river_n do_v original_o arise_v i_o see_v no_o reason_n that_o it_o shall_v seem_v strange_a to_o

wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o when_o the_o catholic_a northern_a air_n of_o the_o hemisphere_n efg_n be_v cold_a it_o suck_v or_o contract_v unto_o it_o the_o air_n in_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o

for_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v close_o and_o expire_v no_o way_n than_o the_o water_n be_v draw_v up_o by_o the_o contraction_n of_o the_o air_n out_o of_o the_o vast_a water_n in_o the_o

be_v subtiliate_v or_o rarify_v and_o dilate_v of_o the_o air_n about_o the_o fountain_n and_o in_o the_o cavity_n of_o the_o vein_n beat_v down_o and_o abase_v the_o water_n in_o the_o southern_a

so_o that_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v partly_o drive_v and_o press_v down_o in_o the_o south_n by_o heat_n and_o consequent_o with_o the_o great_a ease_n draw_v up_o at_o the_o north_n and_o
