the_o cause_n of_o blackness_n for_o he_o do_v work_n upon_o each_o subject_a according_a as_o it_o be_v dispose_v to_o receive_v his_o impression_n and_o according_o produce_v diversity_n of_o colour_n hence_o in_o the_o same_o hot_a climate_n man_n be_v black_a parrot_n and_o leaf_n of_o tree_n be_v green_a the_o emmet_n as_o some_o report_n be_v white_a the_o gold_n be_v yellow_a and_o every_o thing_n there_o have_v its_o own_o peculiar_a colour_n and_o yet_o all_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o same_o sun_n nay_o the_o same_o man_n that_o have_v a_o black_a skin_n have_v white_a tooth_n the_o same_o sun_n at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o the_o same_o garden_n do_v clothe_v the_o lily_n in_o white_a the_o rose_n and_o cherry_n in_o red_a and_o divers_a fruit_n in_o black_a it_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o sun_n whiten_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v incline_v to_o be_v hard_a and_o blackn_v soft_a thing_n so_o he_o make_v the_o ethiopian_n tooth_n white_a the_o skin_n black_a he_o make_v the_o green_a corn_n turn_v white_a and_o hard_a with_o his_o heat_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n make_v the_o plumb_n black_a and_o soft_a woman_n that_o blanch_v or_o whiten_v their_o linen_n in_o the_o sun_n know_v that_o he_o can_v ●an_v their_o skin_n but_o whiten_v their_o cloth_n ●gain_o the_o air_n may_v be_v more_o temperate_a and_o great_a store_n of_o refresh_a wind_n and_o exhalation_n on_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o river_n niger_n then_o on_o the_o other_o and_o so_o the_o sun_n operation_n may_v be_v hinder_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o in_o america_n and_o asia_n under_o the_o same_o parallel_n man_n be_v not_o so_o black_a as_o in_o africa_n where_o there_o be_v more_o heat_n and_o great_a drought_n for_o it_o want_v those_o fresh_a wind_n and_o great_a lake_n and_o river_n which_o be_v in_o asia_n and_o america_n the_o sun_n heat_n than_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o blackness_n in_o such_o as_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o whether_o the_o clime_n be_v torrid_a or_o frigid_a hence_o in_o cold_a country_n we_o find_v black_a crow_n and_o in_o hot_a white_a swan_n beside_o this_o narration_n be_v suspicious_a for_o on_o both_o side_n of_o the_o river_n man_n have_v be_v se●n_o equal_o black_a and_o there_o be_v some_o in_o asia_n as_o black_a as_o in_o africa_n he_o object_n again_o that_o nigro_n transplant_v into_o cold_a country_n continue_v their_o hue_n therefore_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o the_o sole_a cause_n of_o this_o blackness_n ans._n the_o question_n be_v not_o if_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o sole_a cause_n but_o whether_o a_o cause_n at_o all_o which_o the_o doctor_n in_o his_o former_a objection_n seem_v to_o deny_v 2._o i_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o sole_a primary_n cause_n if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o cause_n they_o be_v secondary_a and_o subordinate_a to_o the_o sun_n heat_n and_o influence_n 3._o he_o may_v as_o well_o infer_v the_o sun_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o greenness_n in_o leaf_n grass_n or_o plant_n in_o the_o torrid_a zone_n because_o these_o be_v transplant_v into_o cold_a climate_n retain_v their_o hue_n book_v 6._o c._n 12_o and_o indeed_o he_o seem_v to_o make_v the_o spirit_n of_o salt_n peter_n in_o the_o earth_n the_o cause_n of_o viridity_n because_o in_o a_o glass_n these_o spirit_n project_n orient_a green_n i_o shall_v like_v his_o reason_n well_o if_o the_o verdure_n of_o the_o plant_n be_v not_o more_o real_a than_o that_o of_o saltpetre_n in_o the_o glass_n but_o what_o will_v he_o say_v to_o that_o earth_n where_o be_v no_o saltpetre_n at_o all_o and_o yet_o the_o ●earbs_n be_v green_a or_o be_v there_o saltpetre_n in_o a_o glass_n of_o pure_a water_n where_o i_o have_v see_v green_a leaf_n bud_v out_o of_o the_o stem_n of_o a_o herb_n beside_o i_o find_v urine_n out_o of_o which_o saltpetre_n be_v make_v to_o spoil_v the_o greenness_n of_o the_o herb_n 4._o if_o the_o impression_n of_o black_a which_o the_o sun_n cause_v in_o a_o hot_a clime_n must_v alter_v in_o a_o cold_a then_o may_v the_o other_o quality_n also_o which_o the_o sun_n by_o his_o heat_n procure_v be_v lose_v in_o a_o cold_a country_n and_o so_o what_o be_v hard_a in_o ethiopia_n must_v be_v soft_a in_o england_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o indian_a spice_n must_v here_o grow_v cold_a he_o object_n again_o that_o there_o be_v negro_n under_o the_o southern_a tropic_n and_o beyond_o which_o be_v cold_a country_n i_o answer_v that_o these_o negro_n be_v colony_n out_o of_o hot_a country_n and_o not_o aborigines_n or_o native_n at_o first_o and_o he_o confess_v there_o be_v plantation_n of_o negro_n in_o asia_n all_o which_o retain_v their_o original_a blackness_n last_o he_o object_v that_o in_o the_o part_n where_o the_o negro_n possess_v there_o be_v river_n to_o moisten_v the_o air_n and_o in_o lybia_n there_o be_v such_o dry_a and_o sandy_a desert_n as_o there_o be_v no_o water_n at_o all_o but_o what_o be_v bring_v on_o camel_n back_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o negro_n therefore_o dryness_n can_v cause_v blackness_n i_o answer_v 1._o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o ne●_n grow_v who_o dwell_v near_o river_n have_v their_o original_n there_o 2._o though_o there_o may_v be_v some_o moist_a exhalation_n yet_o it_o seem_v they_o be_v not_o so_o abundant_a as_o to_o qualify_v the_o sun_n heat_n 3._o though_o the_o desert_n of_o lybia_n be_v dry_a yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o hot_a as_o under_o the_o line_n it_o be_v the_o excess_n of_o heat_n and_o siccity_n together_o that_o cause_v blackness_n and_o not_o one_o of_o these_o alone_a 4._o we_o see_v man_n grow_v tawny_a here_o by_o converse_v much_o in_o the_o sun_n and_o further_a south_n more_o tawny_a and_o still_o as_o the_o heat_n increase_v the_o degree_n of_o blackness_n increase_v also_o to_o deny_v this_o be_v to_o deny_v our_o sense_n and_o we_o see_v dead_a body_n hang_v in_o the_o sun_n grow_v black_a the_o same_o will_v befall_v to_o live_a body_n if_o they_o continue_v
