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 air_n and_o yet_o the_o one_o heat_n and_o the_o other_o cool_v pasture_n be_v dry_v and_o harden_v by_o the_o sun_n and_o with_o the_o frost_n moderate_a exercise_n provoke_v sleep_v be_v too_o violent_a it_o hinder_v if_o you_o lay_v no_o wood_n on_o the_o fire_n it_o die_v if_o you_o lay_v on_o too_o much_o it_o likewise_o quench_v for_o the_o only_a proportion_n entertain_v and_o make_v 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
