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

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

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
