hard_a task_n to_o confute_v this_o opinion_n since_o it_o be_v apparent_a to_o all_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o parch_a heat_n there_o be_v no_o snow_n in_o ethiopia_n at_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n for_o in_o these_o country_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o sign_n either_o of_o frost_n cold_a or_o any_o other_o effect_n of_o winter_n especial_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o overflow_a of_o nile_n and_o suppose_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o snow_n in_o the_o high_a part_n of_o ethiopia_n yet_o what_o be_v affirm_v be_v certain_o false_a for_o every_o river_n that_o be_v swell_v with_o snow_n fume_n up_o in_o cold_a fog_n and_o thicken_v the_o air_n but_o about_o nile_n only_o above_o all_o other_o river_n neither_o mist_n gather_v nor_o be_v there_o any_o cold_a breeze_n nor_o be_v the_o air_n gross_a and_o thick_a herodotus_n say_v that_o nile_n be_v such_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o its_o increase_n for_o that_o in_o winter_n in_o our_o winter_n winter_n when_o the_o sun_n move_v to_o the_o south_n and_o run_v its_o daily_a course_n direct_o over_o africa_n it_o exhale_v so_o much_o water_n out_o of_o nile_n that_o it_o decrease_v against_o nature_n and_o in_o summer_n when_o the_o sun_n return_v to_o the_o north_n the_o river_n of_o greece_n and_o the_o river_n of_o all_o other_o northern_a country_n fall_n and_o decrease_v and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o strange_a for_o nile_n about_o summer_n time_n to_o increase_v and_o in_o winter_n to_o fall_v and_o grow_v low_o but_o to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o if_o the_o sun_n exhale_v so_o much_o moisture_n out_o of_o nile_n in_o winter_n time_n it_o will_v do_v the_o like_a in_o other_o river_n in_o africa_n and_o so_o they_o must_v fall_v as_o well_o as_o nile_n which_o no_o where_n happen_v throughout_o all_o africa_n and_o therefore_o this_o author_n reason_n be_v frivolous_a for_o the_o river_n of_o greece_n rise_v not_o in_o the_o winter_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o remoteness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a rain_n that_o fall_n at_o that_o time_n democritus_n the_o abderite_n say_v that_o the_o northern_a country_n and_o not_o those_o towards_o democritus_n democritus_n the_o south_n as_o anaxagoras_n and_o euripides_n say_v be_v subject_a to_o snow_n for_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o evident_a to_o every_o body_n that_o in_o the_o northern_a part_n drift_n and_o heap_n of_o snow_n lie_v congeal_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o winter_n solstice_n but_o in_o summer_n the_o ice_n be_v melt_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o land_n become_v very_o wet_a which_o cause_v many_o thick_a mist_n to_o appear_v upon_o the_o hill_n from_o the_o vapour_n rise_v from_o the_o earth_n these_o vapour_n he_o say_v be_v drive_v about_o by_o the_o etesean_a wind_n till_o they_o fall_v upon_o the_o high_a mountain_n which_o be_v as_o he_o affirm_v in_o ethiopia_n and_o by_o the_o violent_a impression_n they_o make_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o these_o mountain_n great_a storm_n and_o shower_n of_o rain_n be_v occasion_v which_o about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o etesean_a wind_n cause_n the_o river_n to_o rise_v but_o if_o any_o will_v diligent_o observe_v the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o the_o year_n when_o this_o fall_v out_o he_o may_v easy_o answer_v this_o argument_n for_o nile_n begin_v to_o swell_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o summer_n solstice_n when_o there_o be_v no_o etesean_a wind_n and_o after_o the_o autumnal_a equinox_n when_o those_o wind_n be_v past_a it_o fall_v again_o inasmuch_o therefore_o as_o certain_a experience_n to_o the_o contrary_a answer_v all_o argument_n be_v they_o never_o so_o probable_a the_o man_n

and_o the_o soil_n be_v of_o a_o loose_a and_o spongy_a nature_n and_o have_v in_o it_o many_o large_a cliff_n and_o hollow_a place_n wherein_o be_v abundance_n of_o water_n which_o in_o the_o

not_o only_o betray_v his_o own_o ignorance_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o place_n in_o egypt_n that_o he_o never_o see_v they_o himself_o but_o likewise_o that_o he_o never_o be_v right_o inform_v by_o

above_o towards_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a so_o much_o water_n shall_v be_v contain_v and_o if_o the_o river_n lie_v high_o than_o those_o spungy_a

confute_v and_o though_o they_o be_v improbable_a yet_o many_o agree_v to_o they_o for_o they_o divide_v the_o earth_n into_o three_o part_n one_o of_o which_o be_v that_o wherein_o we_o inhabit_v another_o quite_o contrary_a to_o these_o place_n in_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n the_o three_o lie_v between_o these_o two_o which_o they_o say_v be_v uninhabitable_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o scorch_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o therefore_o if_o nile_n shall_v overflow_v in_o the_o wintertime_n it_o will_v be_v clear_a and_o evident_a that_o its_o source_n will_v arise_v out_o of_o our_o
