wind_n before_o any_o cloud_n can_v be_v move_v therefore_o i_o think_v you_o make_v the_o effect_n before_o the_o cause_n b._n if_o nothing_o can_v move_v a_o cloud_n but_o wind_n your_o objection_n be_v good_a but_o you_o allow_v a_o cloud_n to_o descend_v by_o its_o own_o weight_n but_o when_o it_o so_o descend_v it_o must_v needs_o move_v the_o air_n before_o it_o even_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n again_o repel_v it_o and_o so_o make_v lateral_a wind_n every_o way_n which_o will_v carry_v forward_o other_o cloud_n if_o there_o be_v any_o in_o their_o way_n but_o not_o the_o cloud_n that_o make_v they_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o water_n rise_v into_o cloud_n must_v needs_o also_o as_o they_o rise_v raise_v a_o wind_n a._n i_o grant_v it_o but_o how_o can_v the_o slow_a motion_n of_o a_o cloud_n make_v so_o swift_a a_o wind_n as_o it_o do_v b._n it_o be_v not_o one_o or_o two_o little_a cloud_n but_o many_o and_o great_a one_o that_o do_v it_o beside_o when_o the_o air_n be_v drive_v into_o place_n already_o cover_v it_o can_v but_o be_v much_o the_o swift_a for_o the_o narrowness_n of_o the_o passage_n a._n why_o do_v the_o south_n wind_v more_o often_o then_o any_o other_o bring_v rain_n with_o it_o b._n where_o the_o sun_n have_v most_o power_n and_o where_o the_o sea_n be_v great_a that_o be_v in_o the_o south_n there_o be_v most_o water_n in_o the_o air_n which_o a_o south_n wind_n can_v only_o bring_v to_o we_o but_o i_o have_v see_v great_a shower_n of_o rain_n sometime_o also_o when_o the_o wind_n have_v be_v north_n but_o it_o be_v in_o summer_n and_o come_v first_o i_o think_v from_o the_o south_n or_o west_n and_o be_v but_o bring_v back_o from_o the_o north._n a._n i_o have_v see_v at_o sea_n very_o great_a wave_n when_o there_o be_v no_o wind_n at_o all_o what_o be_v it_o then_o that_o trouble_a the_o water_n b._n but_o have_v you_o not_o wind_n enough_o present_o after_o a._n we_o have_v a_o storm_n within_o a_o little_a more_o than_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n after_o b._n that_o storm_n be_v then_o come_v and_o have_v move_v the_o water_n before_o it_o but_o the_o wind_n you_o can_v not_o perceive_v for_o it_o come_v downward_o with_o the_o descend_v of_o the_o cloud_n and_o press_v the_o water_n bound_v above_o your_o sail_n till_o it_o come_v very_o near_o and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o make_v you_o think_v there_o be_v no_o wind_n at_o all_o a._n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o a_o ship_n shall_v go_v against_o the_o wind_n which_o move_v it_o even_o almost_o point_v blank_a as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o drive_v but_o draw_v b._n you_o be_v to_o know_v first_o that_o what_o body_n soever_o be_v carry_v against_o another_o body_n whether_o perpendicular_o or_o oblique_o it_o drive_v it_o in_o a_o perpendicular_a to_o the_o superficies_n it_o light_v on_o as_o for_o example_n a_o bullet_n shoot_v against_o a_o flat_a wall_n make_v the_o stone_n or_o other_o matter_n it_o hit_v to_o retire_v in_o a_o perpendicular_a to_o that_o flat_a or_o if_o the_o wall_n be_v round_o towards_o the_o centre_n that_o be_v to_o say_v perpendicular_o for_o if_o the_o way_n of_o the_o motion_n be_v oblique_a to_o the_o wall_n the_o motion_n be_v compound_v of_o two_o motion_n one_o parallel_v to_o the_o wall_n and_o the_o other_o perpendicular_a by_o the_o former_a whereof_o the_o bullet_n be_v carry_v along_o the_o wall_n side_n by_o the_o other_o it_o approach_v to_o it_o now_o the_o former_a of_o these_o motion_n can_v have_v no_o effect_n upon_o it_o all_o the_o battery_n be_v from_o the_o motion_n perpendicular_a in_o which_o it_o approach_v and_o therefore_o the_o part_n it_o hit_v must_v also_o retire_v perpendicular_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o a_o bullet_n with_o the_o same_o swiftness_n will_v execute_v as_o much_o oblique_o shoot_v as_o perpendicular_o which_o you_o know_v it_o do_v not_o a._n how_o do_v you_o apply_v this_o to_o a_o ship_n b._n let_v a._n b._n be_v the_o ship_n the_o head_n of_o it_o a._n if_o the_o wind_n blow_v just_a from_o a._n towards_o b._n it_o be_v true_a the_o ship_n can_v go_v forward_o howsoever_o the_o sail_n be_v set_v let_v c._n d._n be_v perpendicular_a to_o the_o ship_n and_o let_v the_o sail_n e._n c._n be_v never_o so_o little_a oblique_a to_o it_o and_o f._n c._n perpendicular_a to_o e._n c._n and_o then_o you_o see_v the_o ship_n will_v gain_v the_o space_n d._n f._n to_o the_o headward_n a._n it_o will_v so_o but_o when_o it_o be_v very_o near_o to_o the_o wind_n it_o will_v go_v forward_o very_o slow_o and_o make_v more_o way_n with_o her_o side_n to_o the_o leeward_n a._n it_o will_v indeed_o go_v slow_a in_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o line_n a_o e._n to_o the_o line_n c._n e._n but_o the_o ship_n will_v not_o go_v so_o fast_o as_o you_o think_v sideward_n one_o be_v the_o force_n of_o that_o wind_n which_o light_v on_o the_o side_n of_o the_o ship_n itself_o the_o other_o be_v the_o belly_v of_o the_o sail_n for_o the_o former_a it_o be_v not_o much_o because_o the_o ship_n do_v not_o easy_o put_v from_o she_o the_o water_n with_o her_o side_n and_o belly_v of_o the_o sail_n give_v some_o little_a hold_n for_o the_o wind_n to_o drive_v the_o ship_n a_o stern_a a._n for_o the_o motion_n sideward_v i_o agree_v with_o you_o but_o i_o have_v think_v the_o belly_n of_o the_o sail_n have_v make_v the_o ship_n go_v fast_o b._n but_o it_o do_v not_o only_o in_o a_o fore-wind_n it_o hinder_v least_o a._n by_o this_o reason_n a_o broad_a thin_a board_n shall_v make_v the_o best_a

for_o i_o have_v see_v a_o board_n set_v upon_o four_o truckle_n with_o a_o staff_n set_v up_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o it_o for_o a_o mast_n and_o another_o very_a thin_a and_o broad_a board_n fasten_v to_o that_o staff_n in_o the_o stead_n of_o a_o sail_n and_o so_o set_v as_o to_o receive_v the_o wind_n very_o oblique_o i_o mean_v so_o as_o to_o be_v within_o a_o point_n of_o the_o

doubt_v whether_o it_o shall_v stir_v at_o all_o or_o no_o but_o that_o be_v not_o long_a and_o than_o it_o run_v a_o head_n extreme_a swift_o till_o it_o be_v overthrow_v by_o a_o rub._n a._n before_o you_o leave_v the_o ship_n tell_v i_o how_o it_o come_v about_o that_o so_o small_a a_o thing_n as_o a_o rudder_n can_v so_o easy_o turn_v the_o great_a ship_n b._n it_o be_v not_o the_o
