take_v a_o fair_a english_a woman_n to_o wife_n beget_v a_o son_n in_o all_o respect_n as_o black_a as_o the_o father_n be_v although_o england_n be_v his_o native_a country_n and_o a_o english_a

of_o twelve_o month_n age_n have_v his_o skin_n of_o the_o very_a same_o colour_n that_o most_o have_v under_o the_o equinoctial_a which_o thing_n can_v proceed_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o clime_n for_o that_o they_o be_v at_o least_o ten_o degree_n more_o towards_o the_o north_n than_o we_o in_o england_n be_v no_o the_o sun_n never_o come_v near_o their_o zenith_n by_o forty_o degree_n for_o in_o effect_n they_o be_v within_o three_o or_o four_o degree_n of_o that_o which_o they_o call_v the_o freeze_a zone_n and_o as_o i_o say_v forty_o degree_n from_o the_o burn_a zone_n whereby_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v some_o other_o cause_n then_o the_o climate_n or_o the_o son_n perpendicular_a reflection_n that_o shall_v cause_v the_o ethiopian_n great_a blackness_n and_o the_o most_o probable_a cause_n to_o my_o judgement_n be_v that_o this_o blackness_n proceed_v of_o some_o natural_a infection_n of_o the_o first_o inhabitant_n of_o that_o country_n and_o so_o all_o the_o whole_a

original_n of_o these_o black_a man_n and_o how_o by_o a_o lineal_a descent_n they_o have_v hitherto_o continue_v thus_o black_a blackness_n it_o manifest_o and_o plain_o appear_v by_o holy_a scripture_n that_o after_o the_o general_a inundation_n and_o overflow_a of_o the_o earth_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o man_n alive_a but_o noah_n and_o his_o three_o son_n sem_fw-mi cham_fw-mi and_o
