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

practise_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o sphere_n teach_v very_o well_o that_o the_o more_o the_o zodiac_n be_v oblique_a and_o traverse_v our_o hemisphere_n the_o more_o unequal_a be_v the_o

and_o in_o spain_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o the_o sphere_n do_v teach_v and_o experience_n do_v plain_o show_v us._n we_o must_v add_v a_o other_o proposition_n which_o be_v likewise_o true_a

in_o the_o month_n of_o july_n and_o august_n i_o will_v answer_v 11._o that_o in_o andelousia_n the_o day_n be_v long_o and_o the_o night_n short_a and_o as_o the_o day_n be_v hot_a inflame_v and_o

this_o question_n i_o do_v find_v
from_o out_o of_o the_o ocean_n which_o in_o those_o part_n be_v very_o great_a and_o spacious_a and_o have_v draw_v unto_o it_o this_o great_a abundance_n of_o vapour_n do_v sudden_o dissolve_v they_o into_o rain_n and_o it_o be_v approve_v by_o many_o try_a experience_n that_o the_o rain_n and_o great_a storm_n from_o heaven_n proceed_v from_o the_o violent_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n first_o as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o it_o rain_v in_o those_o country_n when_o as_o the_o sun_n cast_v his_o beam_n direct_o upon_o the_o earth_n at_o which_o time_n he_o have_v most_o force_n but_o when_o the_o sun_n retire_v the_o heat_n be_v moderate_a and_o then_o there_o fall_v no_o rain_n whereby_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o force_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o rain_n in_o those_o country_n moreover_o we_o observe_v both_o in_o peru_n new_a spain_n and_o in_o all_o the_o burn_a zone_n that_o the_o rain_n do_v usual_o fall_v in_o the_o afternoon_n when_o as_o the_o sun_n beam_n be_v in_o their_o great_a force_n be_v strange_a to_o see_v it_o rain_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o therefore_o traveller_n foresee_v it_o begin_v their_o journey_n early_a that_o

why_o the_o nearness_n of_o the_o sun_n cause_v the_o rain_n under_o the_o burn_a zone_n and_o without_o when_o it_o be_v far_o off_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o reason_n be_v that_o in_o winter_n 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

into_o water_n therefore_o in_o winter_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v far_a off_o the_o day_n short_a and_o the_o night_n long_o his_o heat_n have_v small_a force_n but_o when_o the_o sun_n approach_v which_o be_v in_o the_o summer_n time_n his_o force_n be_v such_o as_o it_o draw_v up_o the_o vapour_n and_o sudden_o consume_v and_o disperse_v they_o for_o the_o heat_n and_o the_o length_n of_o 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
