without_o the_o tropic_n the_o sun_n have_v not_o force_v sufficient_a to_o consume_v the_o vapour_n which_o rise_v from_o the_o land_n and_o sea_n for_o these_o vapour_n grow_v in_o great_a

the_o day_n grow_v through_o the_o nearness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o within_o the_o tropic_n under_o the_o burn_a zone_n the_o far_a distance_n of_o the_o sun_n work_v the_o same_o effect_n that_o the_o nearness_n do_v without_o the_o tropic_n by_o reason_n whereof_o it_o rain_v no_o more_o under_o the_o burn_a zone_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v far_o off_o then_o without_o the_o tropic_n when_o

the_o which_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n in_o the_o inner_a arabia_n the_o which_o be_v burn_v with_o the_o sun_n have_v no_o shower_n to_o temper_v the_o violence_n thereof_o the_o cloud_n and_o mist_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o sun_n offend_v not_o so_o much_o and_o the_o shower_n that_o fall_v from_o they_o refresh_v both_o the_o air_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o moisten_v likewise_o how_o hot_a soever_o it_o be_v they_o drink_v rain_n water_n and_o it_o quench_v the_o thirst_n as_o our_o man_n have_v well_o try_v have_v no_o other_o to_o drink_v so_o as_o reason_n and_o

appear_v that_o there_o be_v matter_n in_o it_o cause_n to_o temper_v the_o violence_n of_o the_o heat_n to_o this_o i_o will_v add_v a_o other_o reason_n which_o deserve_v to_o be_v know_v not_o only_o for_o this_o matter_n but_o for_o many_o other_o for_o although_o the_o sun_n be_v very_o hot_a and_o burn_a under_o the_o equinoctial_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o long_o so_o as_o the_o heat_n of_o

doubtless_o the_o cause_n thereof_o iâ_n that_o the_o one_o be_v low_a and_o the_o other_o high_o which_o cause_v that_o the_o one_o be_v hot_a and_o the_o other_o cold_a it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n be_v cold_a than_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o valley_n the_o which_o proceed_v not_o only_o for_o that_o the_o sun_n beam_n have_v great_a repercussion_n upon_o low_a place_n although_o it_o be_v a_o great_a reason_n yet_o there_o be_v another_o which_o be_v that_o the_o region_n of_o the_o aiâe_n be_v cold_a when_o it_o be_v far_a from_o the_o

to_o answer_v true_o what_o i_o think_v i_o will_v confess_v that_o this_o argument_n and_o objection_n be_v so_o difficult_a as_o i_o be_o almost_o ready_a to_o follow_v the_o opinion_n of_o such_o
