Stars attracts the Virtue of the Sun to it, and n manifests itself

Flash in this Raging, from whence the hard [sour] harsh Anxiety
is terrified, and sinks down, and there the terrible Tincture
goes into its o Ether; for the Essence of the [sour] Harshness
in the Fiat is so mightily terrified at the Flash, that it becomes
