to_o seaman_n i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o wether_n on_o the_o african_a coast_n which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o so_o dry_a as_o the_o coast_n of_o peru_n yet_o be_v it_o the_o next_o

without_o that_o excess_n that_o be_v in_o most_o other_o place_n in_o those_o latitude_n so_o that_o the_o wette_v season_n can_v only_o be_v call_v so_o from_o some_o gentle_a shower_n of_o rain_n there_o be_v some_o tornado_n but_o not_o so_o many_o as_o be_v in_o any_o other_o place_n both_o of_o the_o east_n or_o west_n indies_n the_o peruvian_n coast_n except_v and_o if_o the_o height_n

between_o the_o mountain_n of_o these_o coast_n for_o the_o east_n side_n of_o those_o mountain_n be_v supply_v with_o rain_n enough_o as_o may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o great_a river_n that_o
