brise_n in_o the_o mediterranean_a of_o which_o we_o must_v note_v they_o be_v always_o the_o more_o languid_a and_o weak_a the_o late_a they_o come_v in_o in_o very_o hot_a day_n and_o when_o no_o

beyond_o the_o latitude_n of_o portugal_n brise_n of_o all_o sort_n be_v more_o constant_a in_o summer_n than_o winter_n and_o between_o the_o tropique_n then_o in_o the_o temperate_a zone_n the_o

and_o many_o other_o modern_n derive_v their_o origine_fw-la from_o the_o colliquated_a snow_n and_o ice_n in_o the_o northerly_a region_n for_o the_o long_a continuance_n of_o the_o sun_n near_o 6_o

towards_o the_o south_n where_o they_o find_v the_o air_n more_o yield_v and_o pure_a than_o the_o fog_n and_o gross_a vapour_n of_o the_o north._n they_o be_v call_v the_o sleepy_a wind_n venti_n delicati_fw-la &_o somniculares_n by_o reason_n they_o intermit_v in_o the_o night_n time_n and_o rise_v again_o with_o the_o sun_n happy_o because_o the_o vapour_n be_v then_o only_o sufficient_o dilate_v by_o the_o celestial_a beam_n though_o in_o the_o night_n time_n they_o subside_o and_o hover_v near_o the_o earth_n be_v too_o refrigerate_v and_o dense_a to_o constitute_v wind_n till_o they_o be_v again_o quicken_v &_o put_v in_o motion_n by_o the_o approach_n of_o the_o sun_n i_o be_o willing_a to_o acquiesce_v in_o the_o aforesaid_a cause_n and_o i_o believe_v we_o in_o england_n or_o france_n may_v owe_v our_o etesians_n to_o groenland_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o freeze_a zone_n because_o we_o have_v no_o constant_a visible_a fountain_n of_o any_o such_o wind_n in_o our_o own_o dominion_n but_o if_o the_o etesians_n of_o greece_n according_a to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o aristotle_n do_v always_o depend_v on_o the_o resolution_n of_o snow_n in_o the_o north_n they_o will_v certain_o take_v russia_n poland_n or_o germany_n in_o the_o way_n which_o lie_v near_o the_o arctic_a pole_n before_o they_o arrive_v at_o greece_n and_o yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o taurican_a hill_n they_o be_v say_v to_o have_v southerly_a wind_n about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o grecian_a etesians_n we_o may_v better_o make_v judgement_n of_o these_o wind_n that_o be_v most_o peculiar_a to_o this_o country_n they_o be_v no_o foreigner_n in_o their_o original_a but_o spring_v from_o particular_a fountain_n within_o itself_o such_o as_o the_o hill_n of_o macedon_n and_o thrace_n that_o have_v perennial_a snow_n of_o their_o own_o and_o these_o be_v master_v by_o the_o scorch_a heat_n of_o summer_n may_v give_v birth_n to_o their_o etesian_a wind_n which_o have_v this_o advantage_n over_o the_o other_o opinion_n that_o it_o clear_v the_o difficulty_n why_o they_o be_v silent_a in_o the_o night_n and_o blow_v with_o fresh_a gust_n at_o midday_n when_o the_o sun_n mount_v high_a in_o the_o northern_a hemisphere_n i_o shall_v only_o add_v not_o to_o mention_v several_a other_o of_o the_o modern_a naturallist_n that_o even_a *_o cabeus_n himself_o who_o be_v a_o person_n sufficient_o zealous_a in_o assert_v 202._o the_o peripatetique_a hypothesis_n dissent_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o aristotle_n &_o will_v scarce_o allow_v the_o

severe_o enough_o reflect_v upon_o aristotle_n that_o he_o shall_v first_o deduce_v the_o origine_fw-la of_o these_o wind_n from_o the_o freeze_a zone_n and_o afterward_o assign_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o blow_v strong_a in_o the_o day_n time_n because_o the_o liquefaction_n of_o the_o snow_n be_v interrupt_v by_o the_o nocturnal_a cold_a when_o it_o be_v notorious_a that_o in_o those_o country_n the_o sun_n for_o many_o month_n together_o be_v never_o deprese_v below_o their_o horizon_n towards_o the_o adriatic_a and_o many_o part_n of_o asia_n they_o have_v set_a wind_n which_o arrive_v from_o the_o n._n and_o n._n e._n yet_o all_o these_o which_o be_v repute_v the_o venti_n stati_fw-la blow_v not_o from_o the_o northerly_a point_n for_o in_o gascony_n about_o the_o same_o time_n with_o the_o etesians_n of_o greece_n they_o have_v rather_o southerly_a wind_n which_o scaliger_n who_o be_v best_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o his_o own_o country_n observe_v to_o be_v unwholesome_a and_o pestilential_a at_o madrid_n for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o summer_n they_o have_v a_o brise_n from_o the_o pyrenean_n or_o the_o adjacent_a guadarama_n which_o extreme_o

for_o they_o in_o lombardy_n to_o feel_v a_o northerly_a and_o at_o tirol_n which_o be_v situate_a on_o the_o contrary_a side_n of_o the_o alps_o a_o southerly_a wind_n at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o

where_o ever_o great_a chain_n or_o ridge_n of_o hill_n run_v along_o as_o the_o caucasean_n or_o apennine_n this_o very_a often_o render_v a_o account_n of_o most_o etesians_n there_o about_o yet_o i_o question_v whether_o many_o author_n may_v not_o ascribe_v too_o much_o to_o this_o one_o cause_n for_o in_o some_o place_n they_o have_v anniversary_n wind_n that_o can_v never_o possible_o

the_o coast_n of_o afric_n and_o india_n from_o the_o best_a discovery_n we_o have_v yet_o be_v able_a to_o make_v of_o those_o part_n there_o be_v other_o state_v or_o anniversary_n wind_n which_o
