not_o to_o hinder_v the_o exception_n which_o nature_n have_v give_v to_o this_o rule_n rule_n make_v some_o region_n of_o the_o burn_a zone_n extreme_o dry_a the_o which_o be_v report_v of_o

the_o help_n of_o god_n we_o will_v show_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o rain_v not_o in_o these_o plain_n the_o which_o many_o demand_n for_o now_o i_o only_o pretend_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v

although_o unto_o this_o day_n i_o have_v neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v of_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v attribute_v it_o to_o the_o particular_a quality_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o also_o if_o sometime_o the_o contrary_n do_v chance_n we_o must_v have_v regard_n that_o in_o natural_a thing_n there_o happen_v many_o contrariety_n and_o let_n whereby_o they_o change_v and_o

according_a to_o his_o rule_n i_o and_o all_o my_o companion_n be_v a_o cold_a in_o truth_n there_o be_v no_o region_n in_o the_o world_n more_o pleasant_a and_o temperate_a then_o under_o the_o equinoctial_a although_o it_o be_v not_o in_o all_o part_n of_o a_o equal_a temperature_n but_o have_v great_a diversity_n the_o burn_a zone_n in_o some_o part_n be_v very_o temperate_a zone_n as_o in_o quitto_n and_o on_o the_o plain_n of_o peru_n in_o some_o part_n very_o cold_a as_o at_o potozi_n and_o in_o some_o very_a hot_a as_o in_o ethiopia_n bresil_n and_o the_o molucque_n this_o diversity_n be_v know_v and_o certain_a unto_o we_o we_o must_v of_o force_n seek_v out_o another_o cause_n of_o cold_a and_o heat_n then_o the_o sun_n beam_n see_v that_o in_o one_o season_n of_o the_o year_n and_o in_o place_n of_o one_o height_n and_o distance_n from_o the_o pole_n and_o equinoctial_a we_o find_v so_o great_a diversity_n that_o some_o be_v environ_v with_o heat_n some_o with_o cold_a and_o other_o temper_v with_o a_o moderate_a heat_n consider_v this_o matter_n general_o i_o find_v two_o general_a cause_n which_o make_v this_o region_n temperate_a tropic_n the_o one_o be_v that_o before_o 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 sun_n beam_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 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 the_o day_n be_v there_o short_a and_o of_o less_o continuance_n it_o cause_v not_o so_o violent_a a_o heat_n the_o which_o it_o behoove_v to_o specify_v more_o particular_o such_o as_o be_v 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 day_n and_o night_n and_o contrariwise_o where_o the_o sphere_n be_v straight_o and_o the_o sign_n mount_v direct_o there_o the_o day_n and_o night_n be_v equal_a and_o therefore_o in_o all_o that_o region_n which_o be_v between_o the_o two_o tropic_n 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 those_o of_o quitto_n for_o that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o line_n have_v not_o throughout_o the_o whole_a year_n the_o day_n and_o night_n more_o short_a at_o one_o season_n then_o at_o a_o other_o but_o be_v continual_o equal_a those_o of_o lima_n be_v distant_a almost_o twelve_o degree_n find_v some_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o day_n and_o the_o night_n but_o very_o little_a for_o that_o in_o december_n and_o januarie_n the_o day_n increase_v a_o hour_n or_o little_o less_o those_o of_o potozi_n find_v much_o more_o difference_n both_o in_o winter_n and_o in_o summer_n be_v almost_o under_o the_o tropic_n but_o those_o that_o live_v without_o the_o tropic_n find_v the_o day_n in_o winter_n short_a and_o in_o summer_n long_o the_o more_o remote_a they_o be_v from_o the_o equinoctial_a and_o come_v near_o the_o pole_n as_o we_o see_v in_o germany_n and_o in_o england_n the_o day_n be_v long_o in_o summer_n then_o in_o italy_n 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 and_o very_a considerable_a for_o all_o the_o effect_n of_o nature_n to_o understand_v the_o perseverance_n and_o continuation_n of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n to_o work_v and_o move_v this_o presuppose_a if_o any_o one_o demand_n of_o i_o why_o under_o the_o equinoctial_a line_n the_o heat_n be_v not_o so_o violent_a in_o summer_n as_o in_o some_o other_o region_n as_o in_o andelousia_n 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 cause_v heat_n so_o the_o night_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a give_v a_o refresh_n according_a to_o the_o which_o at_o peru_n there_o be_v no_o such_o great_a heat_n for_o that_o the_o day_n in_o summer_n be_v not_o long_o nor_o the_o night_n short_a so_o as_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n be_v much_o temper_v by_o the_o freshness_n of_o the_o night_n be_v a_o thing_n conclude_v that_o the_o two_o forenamed_a property_n be_v common_a and_o universal_a to_o all_o the_o region_n of_o the_o burn_a zone_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o same_o there_o be_v find_v some_o place_n very_o hot_a and_o other_o exceed_a cold_a also_o that_o the_o temperature_n be_v not_o there_o equal_a in_o all_o place_n but_o under_o one_o climate_n one_o part_n be_v hot_a another_o cold_a and_o the_o three_o temperate_a all_o at_o one_o season_n we_o be_v force_v to_o seek_v out_o other_o reason_n whence_o this_o great_a diversity_n shall_v proceed_v in_o the_o burn_a zone_n discourse_v therefore_o upon_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 they_o may_v end_v and_o rest_n before_o noon_n for_o they_o hold_v that_o common_o it_o rain_v after_o noon_n such_o as_o have_v frequent_v and_o travel_v those_o country_n can_v sufficient_o speak_v thereof_o and_o there_o be_v that_o have_v make_v some_o abode_n there_o say_v that_o the_o great_a abundance_n of_o rain_n be_v when_o the_o moon_n be_v at_o the_o full_a but_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n i_o can_v never_o make_v sufficient_a proof_n thereof_o although_o i_o have_v observe_v it_o moreover_o the_o day_n the_o year_n and_o the_o month_n show_v the_o truth_n hereof_o that_o the_o violent_a hea●e_n of_o the_o sun_n cause_v the_o rain_n in_o the_o burn_a zone_n experience_n teach_v we_o the_o like_a in_o artificial_a thing_n as_o in_o a_o limbeck_n wherein_o they_o draw_v water_n from_o herb_n and_o flower_n for_o the_o vehemency_n of_o the_o fire_n force_v and_o drive_v up_o a_o abundance_n of_o vapour_n which_o be_v press_v and_o find_v no_o issue_n be_v convert_v into_o liquor_n and_o water_n the_o like_a we_o see_v in_o gold_n and_o silver_n which_o we_o refine_v with_o quicksilver_n the_o fire_n be_v small_a and_o slow_a we_o draw_v out_o almost_o nothing_o of_o the_o quicksilver_n but_o if_o it_o be_v quick_a and_o violent_a it_o do_v great_o evaporate_v the_o quicksilver_n which_o encounter_v the_o head_n above_o do_v present_o turn_v into_o liquor_n and_o begin_v to_o drop_v down_o even_o so_o the_o violent_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n produce_v these_o two_o effect_n when_o it_o find_v matter_n dispose_v that_o be_v to_o draw_v up_o the_o vapour_n on_o high_a and_o to_o dissolve_v they_o present_o and_o turn_v they_o into_o rain_n when_o there_o be_v any_o obstacle_n to_o consume_v they_o and_o although_o these_o thing_n seem_v contrary_a that_o one_o sun_n within_o the_o burn_a zone_n be_v near_o shall_v cause_v rain_n and_o without_o the_o zone_n afar_o off_o shall_v breed_v the_o like_a effect_n so_o it_o be_v that_o all_o well_o consider_v there_o be_v no_o contrariety_n a_o thousand_o effect_n in_o natural_a cause_n proceed_v of_o contrary_a thing_n by_o diverse_a mean_n we_o dry_a linen_n by_o the_o fire_n and_o in_o the_o

it_o to_o continue_v to_o well_o discern_v a_o thing_n it_o must_v not_o be_v too_o near_o the_o eye_n nor_o too_o far_o off_o but_o in_o a_o reasonable_a distance_n proportionable_a be_v too_o far_o off_o from_o any_o thing_n we_o lose_v the_o sight_n and_o too_o near_o likewise_o we_o can_v see_v it_o if_o the_o sun_n beam_n be_v weak_a they_o draw_v up_o no_o fog_n from_o the_o river_n if_o they_o be_v violent_a have_v draw_v up_o the_o vapour_n they_o present_o dissolve_v and_o consume_v they_o but_o if_o the_o heat_n be_v moderate_a it_o draw_v up_o and_o preserve_v it_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o vapour_n rise_v not_o common_o in_o the_o night_n nor_o at_o noon_n but_o in_o the_o morning_n when_o as_o the_o sun_n begin_v to_o enter_v into_o his_o force_n there_o be_v a_o thousand_o example_n of_o natural_a cause_n upon_o this_o subject_n which_o we_o see_v do_v often_o grow_v from_o contrary_a thing_n whereby_o we_o must_v not_o wonder_v if_o the_o sun_n be_v near_o engender_v rain_n and_o be_v far_o off_o work_v the_o like_a effect_n but_o be_v of_o a_o moderate_a and_o proportionable_a distance_n cause_v none_o at_o all_o yet_o there_o remain_v one_o doubt_n 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 abundance_n in_o the_o cold_a region_n of_o the_o air_n where_o they_o be_v congeal_v and_o thicken_v by_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o cold_a and_o after_o be_v press_v they_o dissolve_v and_o turn_v 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 it_o be_v near_a for_o that_o in_o this_o approach_n and_o retire_v the_o sun_n remain_v always_o in_o one_o distance_n whence_o proceed_v this_o effect_n of_o clearness_n but_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o period_n of_o his_o force_n in_o the_o burn_a zone_n and_o that_o he_o cast_v his_o beam_n direct_o upon_o the_o inhabitant_n head_n there_o be_v neither_o clearness_n nor_o dryness_n as_o it_o seem_v there_o shall_v be_v but_o rather_o great_a and_o strange_a shower_n for_o that_o by_o this_o violent_a heat_n he_o draw_v up_o sudden_o a_o great_a abundance_n of_o vapour_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o ocean_n which_o be_v so_o thick_a as_o the_o wind_n not_o able_a easy_o to_o disperse_v they_o they_o melt_v into_o water_n which_o breed_v the_o cold_a rain_n in_o so_o great_a abundance_n for_o the_o excessive_a heat_n may_v soon_o draw_v up_o many_o vapour_n the_o which_o be_v not_o so_o soon_o dissolve_v and_o be_v gather_v together_o through_o their_o great_a abundance_n they_o melt_v and_o dissolve_v into_o water_n the_o which_o we_o may_v easy_o discern_v by_o this_o familiar_a example_n roast_v a_o piece_n of_o pork_n mutton_n or_o veal_n if_o the_o fire_n be_v violent_a and_o the_o meat_n near_o we_o see_v the_o fat_a melt_v sudden_o and_o drop_v away_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o violent_a heat_n draw_v forth_o the_o humour_n and_o fat_a from_o the_o meat_n and_o be_v in_o great_a abundance_n can_v dissolve_v it_o and_o so_o it_o distil_v more_o away_o but_o when_o the_o fire_n be_v moderate_a and_o the_o meat_n in_o a_o equal_a distance_n we_o see_v that_o it_o roast_v handsome_o and_o the_o fat_a drop_n not_o too_o sudden_o for_o that_o the_o moderate_a heat_n draw_v out_o the_o moistness_n which_o it_o consume_v sudden_o and_o therefore_o cook_n make_v a_o moderate_a fire_n and_o lay_v not_o their_o meat_n too_o near_o nor_o too_o far_o off_o lest_o it_o melt_v away_o the_o like_a may_v be_v see_v in_o anooth_a experience_n in_o candle_n of_o tallow_n or_o wax_n if_o the_o wike_v be_v great_a it_o melt_v the_o tallow_n or_o the_o wax_n for_o that_o the_o heat_n can_v consume_v the_o moistness_n which_o rise_v but_o if_o the_o flame_n be_v proportionable_a the_o wax_n melt_v nor_o drop_v not_o for_o that_o the_o flame_n do_v waste_v it_o by_o little_a and_o little_a as_o it_o rise_v but_o this_o be_v
