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

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

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

of_o the_o year_n exceed_v cold_a and_o very_o often_o the_o most_o freeze_a wind_n especial_o if_o they_o hang_v somewhat_o towards_o the_o north._n i_o need_v assign_v no_o other_o cause_n for_o the_o frigidity_n of_o the_o easterly_a wind_n then_o that_o they_o have_v their_o first_o rise_n from_o the_o continent_n where_o the_o midland_n air_n be_v much_o cold_a than_o the_o maritime_a the_o south_n wind_n be_v general_o repute_v hot_a and_o moist_a on_o this_o side_n the_o line_n be_v heat_v in_o their_o entry_n through_o the_o torrid_a zone_n or_o because_o they_o consist_v not_o of_o melt_a snow_n as_o the_o northern_a but_o of_o the_o tepid_a and_o sulphury_a steam_n from_o africa_n and_o other_o sunburned_a clime_n they_o pass_v over_o no_o sea_n of_o any_o large_a extent_n just_o cross_v the_o mediterranean_a and_o british_a yet_o they_o moisten_v and_o relax_v the_o air_n and_o cause_v wet_a weather_n by_o dissolve_v the_o cloud_n into_o rain_n which_o be_v rather_o

torrid_a or_o the_o northerly_a wind_n from_o the_o frigid_a zone_n since_o it_o be_v not_o unknown_a to_o the_o curious_a that_o in_o part_n of_o italy_n and_o provence_n they_o have_v very_o often_o northerly_a wind_n rise_v as_o be_v suppose_v from_o some_o place_n about_o the_o alps_o whereof_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o sensible_a in_o other_o country_n of_o france_n through_o which_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n pass_v if_o they_o come_v so_o far_o north._n in_o like_a manner_n at_o marseilles_n and_o in_o the_o mediterranean_a they_o have_v oftentimes_o southerly_a wind_n when_o they_o blow_v from_o contrary_a point_n on_o the_o african_a continent_n which_o lie_v more_o to_o the_o south_n i_o believe_v very_o few_o of_o the_o south_n wind_n here_o in_o england_n ever_o take_v a_o long_a flight_n than_o from_o the_o mediterranean_a sea_n or_o the_o low_a part_n of_o france_n and_o it_o can_v scarce_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o same_o numericall_a exhalation_n can_v
