any benefit to it selfe or to any other thing euen as the fruition of great riches should be altogeather vnprofitable if the man possessing them should haue neither knowledge vse nor feeling of them The same poynt is further made euident frō the motion of the celestiall Orbs which motion bringeth no benefit to the heauens themselues but is wholy applyed to the good and vtility of man of those things which are commodious to the vse of man For first the motion of them is so tempered that all Countries of the earth excepting some few which are beyond 66. degrees neere to the Poles enioy within the space of 24. houres both day and night this being so directed to the most gratefull alteration and change of day and night Furthermore the Sunne by his proper motion vnder the Eclyptick euēly cutting the equinoctiall lyne and declining sometimes to the south or at other tymes to the north more then 23. degrees causeth the foure seuerall tēperatures of the yeares I meane Winter Spring-tyme Summer and Autumne all these being most accommodate and fitting for the good of such things as the Earth bringeth forth For the winter so worketh by its cold that the spirit and heat which is within the seeds and buds being inwardly receaued all things may be more strengthned with in that so they may better gather humour and nourishment that they may fasten their rootes in the earth and finally that all such things may inwardly swell therby to burst out in due tyme. The spring through its pleasing and tēpered heat calleth all things forth drawing out buds leaues grasse flowers and the like The Summer with its greater heat consumeth the super abundāt humour disgesteth crude and raw things extenuateth and refineth things grosse openeth passages in the bodyes diffuseth or powreth in the spirit bringeth fruites to their maturity and rypenes To conclude the Autumne with its humour and moderate heat tempereth a new all things correcteth the drynes and heat of things which the summer aforehād bestowed it also disposeth the earth to new seedes and new grothes lastly it repaireth the decayed states of liuing bodyes through want of naturall heat Now out of all these obseruations who seeth not that all this motion of the Sunne and the heauenly bodyes was first ordained euer after is perpetuated and continuated to the benefit of man to the grouth increase and fuller aboundance of all liuing creatures other bodies which may in any sort be seruiceable to the vse of man For no other benefit of it can be assigned thē this nor any other cause can be alledged why the motion of the Sunne and the other celestiall Orbes should be in any such and such sort Now if any enter into consideration of Wynds raine snow and frosts he shall easily discouer that these are ordayned for the good emolument and benefit of liuing creatures but chiefly of Man And first of Wynds the vse of them is various and great for they ventilate and fan the ayre and so m●ke it more wholsome to be breathed in which if it should continue vnmoued and vnshaken would putryxy and being by this meanes affected with some pestilent quality would kil both men and beasts For such close places we may obserue wherin the wynds blow not are become most pestiferous and noysome Secondly the wynds serue to carry the clouds about through the ayre and so to disperse and distribute them to seueral countryes regions for without the help of the wynds the mediterranean places and such as are farre distant from the sea would be euer destitute of cloudes and showers and so would become ouer hoate barren and inhabitable For seing from coasts and places far remote from the sea there cannot be drawne vp sufficiēt store of vapours which may serue for clouds and raine except they being eleuated frō other places be thither carryed by force of the wynds the said mediterranean countryes would be continually scorched with the sunne and be depriued of all rigation and watering For it is the sea which chiefly ministreth matter for clouds out of whose vast bosome being directly and continually opposed to the Sunne great abundance of vapours are attracted vpwards by the heat of the Sunne which being after by force of the cold gathered into Clouds are lastly resolued into showers of raine wherfore except the wynds did carry these clouds vnto another place all raine would fall into the sea from whence the matter of it doth ryse and the whole earth through want of watering would remaine barren and vnprofitable Neither this aboue would happen but also all fountaines riuers would in a short tyme be drawne dry for these take their begining and continuance from the srow showers which fall vpon the mediterraneā and mountanous places For the Snow which during the winter falleth vpon the hils melting by little and little through the Suns heat and distilling into the hollowes and concauityes of the hils doth in the end cause springs or fountaines In lyke sort the waters of showers being receaued and drink vp into the higher places of the hils and after many wyndings to and ●●o vnder the earth meeting together do in the end fynding an issue or passage breake out into fountaines or springs Now of springs being mixed with other waters whether proceeding of snow or of showers running into one common channel are begotten Riuers And hence it followeth that during the summer when it but seldome raineth riuers are greatly decreased and except they be sed with snow water they are sometymes dryed vp So as if for the space of two or three yeares it should neither raine nor snow it would follow that all riuers and almost all fountaines would cease their rūning through want of matter But these things are so disposed and gouerned that for certaine seasons so great store of raine and snow may fall as that therby the springs and riuers may be continually maintayned and fed Furthermore the wynds are necessary to dry vp the vnprofitable humour of the earth to recreate and refresh the bodyes of liuing creatures to rypen fruites to the turning of mils and such machines or workes and finally to the vse of Nauigation for ●●●●●●●ting there were no wynds all Nauigation would almost cease But what great pro●● doth ryse by Nauigation to Man For by this what merchandize is in forraine countryes which conduceth either to the commodities of mans lyfe or to the vse of phisick or to the delicacy of nature the same is most easily transported throughout the whole world and what is peculiar to few is by this meanes communicated imparted to all mankynd Neither is the profit of the showers raine inferiour to that of the wynds for it cooleth the ayre refresheth the bodyes of liuing creatures perpetuateth and continueth springs riuers ministers drinke to beasts watereth the earth and maketh it fruitful for without showers of raine the
