mention_v for_o that_o this_o region_n be_v very_o moist_a and_o subject_a to_o rain_v and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o rain_n do_v refresh_v it_o for_o that_o the_o water_n be_v by_o nature_n cold_a and_o although_o by_o the_o force_n of_o the_o fire_n it_o be_v make_v hot_a yet_o do_v it_o temper_v this_o heat_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o sunbeam_n 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 experience_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o rain_n of_o itself_o do_v temper_v the_o heat_n and_o have_v by_o this_o mean_v show_v that_o the_o burn_a zone_n be_v much_o subject_n unto_o rain_n it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v matter_n in_o it_o 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 the_o day_n be_v there_o short_a and_o of_o

there_o be_v less_o inequality_n then_o without_o they_o and_o the_o more_o we_o approach_v the_o line_n the_o less_o inequality_n we_o find_v the_o which_o we_o have_v try_v in_o those_o part_n

especial_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n to_o refresh_v it_o he_o therefore_o that_o shall_v put_v these_o two_o property_n of_o the_o zone_n in_o one_o balance_n that_o it_o be_v most_o rainy_a in_o the_o time_n of_o great_a heat_n and_o that_o the_o day_n be_v short_a there_o he_o shall_v perchance_o find_v they_o to_o equal_v the_o other_o two_o contrariety_n which_o be_v that_o the_o
