terraqueous_a globe_n be_v of_o one_o uniform_a superficies_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v that_o in_o wide_a sea_n their_o motion_n be_v far_o less_o irregular_a than_o by_o land_n since_o the_o great_a diversity_n of_o climate_n mountain_n and_o lake_n vary_v they_o exceed_o i_o have_v thus_o far_o discourse_v of_o the_o 4_o principal_a the_o collateral_a or_o intermediate_n wind_n if_o

for_o who_o can_v with_o patience_n hear_v the_o impertinence_n of_o those_o notionall_a man_n that_o inquire_v no_o further_o but_o declare_v that_o the_o south_n wind_n be_v always_o hot_a and_o

and_o the_o most_o universal_a cause_n from_o whence_o they_o proceed_v first_o wind_n be_v moist_a either_o because_o their_o constituent_a part_n be_v make_v up_o of_o vapid_a and_o aqueous_a corpuscle_n such_o as_o rain_v dew_n watery_a cloud_n or_o by_o reason_n they_o make_v long_a voyage_n by_o sea_n or_o over_o great_a lake_n morish_a country_n &_o fen_n and_o so_o be_v taint_v with_o the_o qualitys_n of_o the_o medium_fw-la through_o which_o they_o pass_v those_o which_o proceed_v from_o melt_v snow_n have_v some_o small_a allay_n of_o the_o terrene_a but_o approach_v near_o the_o

a_o different_a temperature_n of_o our_o organ_n and_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n will_v undoubted_o appear_v exceed_o cold._a then_o we_o denominate_v wind_n either_o gelid_a or_o hot_a in_o respect_n of_o those_o that_o usual_o blow_v in_o such_o climate_n as_o the_o southern_a blast_n with_o we_o here_o in_o england_n though_o they_o be_v cold_o than_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n may_v be_v repute_v hot_a comparative_o to_o the_o n._n or_o n._n e._n which_o be_v much_o more_o refrigerative_a in_o these_o part_n of_o the_o world_n thus_o we_o ought_v not_o rash_o to_o make_v judgement_n of_o their_o qualitys_n but_o first_o consider_v what_o symptom_n of_o heat_n they_o betray_v in_o relation_n to_o weather-glass_n or_o the_o wind_n that_o common_o blow_v in_o such_o country_n as_o
