which_o their_o offspring_n will_v soon_o fail_v a_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v our_o assertion_n be_v the_o tall_a and_o large_a stature_n of_o the_o northern_a man_n which_o argue_v both_o

in_o the_o other_o by_o the_o pantagones_n who_o siâ—uation_n southward_o answer_v somewhat_o near_o to_o the_o height_n of_o germany_n that_o moisture_n be_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o growth_n

the_o side_n of_o rivo_n negro_n in_o peru_n and_o near_o the_o lake_n hiarotis_n in_o india_n as_o by_o beast_n for_o first_o we_o find_v the_o moiste_v to_o be_v of_o great_a stature_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o great_a whale_n and_o fish_n in_o the_o sea_n grow_v to_o such_o a_o vast_a quantity_n second_o such_o beast_n as_o have_v hot_a and_o moist_a body_n can_v so_o well_o

be_v moisture_n sufficient_a for_o the_o growth_n except_o it_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o heat_n wherefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v hence_o that_o the_o northern_a man_n have_v both_o out_o of_o the_o

apart_o a_o great_a argument_n of_o heat_n in_o the_o northern_a man_n may_v be_v his_o extraordinary_a drink_n a_o vicâ—_n which_o can_v never_o be_v reform_v or_o correct_v by_o time_n or_o
