of_o the_o time_n for_o this_o present_a concern_v the_o wind_n according_a to_o experience_n difference_n or_o diversity_n of_o wind_n i_o have_v see_v at_o sea_n in_o some_o calm_a day_n in_o

summer_n time_n i_o have_v know_v in_o place_n of_o small_a distance_n as_o at_o hambrough_n the_o wind_n at_o west_n south_n west_n so_o much_o wind_n that_o we_o have_v rid_v with_o our_o topmast_n down_o and_o at_o lee_n the_o very_a same_o time_n the_o ship_n then_o bind_v for_o hambrough_n have_v asmuch_o wind_n by_o report_n at_o east_n north_n east_n but_o both_o those_o wind_n continue_v not_o long_o and_o between_o which_o wind_v no_o doubt_n it_o be_v calm_a for_o the_o time_n also_o in_o winter_n time_n i_o have_v see_v it_o often_o in_o be_v at_o sea_n the_o wind_n be_v at_o south_n southeast_n much_o wind_n and_o upon_o a_o sudden_a the_o wind_n have_v alter_v to_o the_o northwest_n or_o north_n northwest_n very_o much_o wind_n and_o so_o alteration_n of_o wind_n i_o have_v likewise_o see_v upon_o other_o point_n of_o the_o compass_n and_o in_o sail_v towards_o headland_n or_o in_o sail_v about_o headlands_n i_o have_v find_v the_o wind_n sometime_o too_o large_a unto_o we_o and_o other_o time_n again_o too_o scant_o unto_o we_o therefore_o the_o wind_n very_o difficult_a to_o delate_v upon_o my_o far_a reason_n be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o wind_n blow_v but_o from_o whence_o it_o come_v or_o whether_o it_o go_v no_o man_n know_v yet_o notwithstanding_o many_o time_n in_o summer_n time_n but_o especial_o in_o winter_n time_n when_o grow_v stormy_a wind_n be_v settle_v we_o may_v conjecture_v that_o they_o extend_v far_o and_o in_o my_o opinion_n which_o opinion_n i_o hold_v for_o a_o truth_n the_o wind_n than_o blow_v in_o a_o great_a circle_n therefore_o can_v be_v parallel_n to_o any_o great_a circle_n of_o that_o nature_n my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o great_a circle_n do_v cross_v themselves_o at_o opposite_a point_n as_o in_o the_o demonstrature_n of_o the_o compass_n be_v deliver_v therefore_o this_o delivery_n confute_v the_o flat_a card_n my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o flat_a card_n deliver_v the_o wind_n to_o blow_v in_o parallel_n according_a to_o the_o lineament_n thereof_o likewise_o by_o the_o card_n the_o wind_n at_o east_n and_o a_o ship_n go_v west_n
