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

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

property_n of_o the_o air_n include_v in_o the_o glazen_a vessel_n of_o the_o calender-instrument_n and_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n in_o essence_n that_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

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

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
