And breathing again to his place.
And breathing againe to his place.
The word Saaph. For the which our interpreter hath naughtily put returned,1 signifieth drawing of the breath. He meaneth therefore that the sun, by reason of his violent force, wherewith he is carried, is as it were the cause of all winds & blasts, as when one runneth, he moveth the air, & causeth a breath. To breathe therefore, is with a most swift force to be carried from the East unto the West, and then to the East again, which cometh to pass every day and every month.
