the_o root_n some_o quantity_n of_o water_n which_o be_v always_o soak_v and_o glide_v down_o from_o the_o branch_n and_o body_n of_o the_o tree_n the_o leaf_n sprig_n and_o branch_n of_o the_o say_a

it_o be_v general_o observe_v wherever_o there_o be_v high_a hill_n there_o be_v general_o many_o spring_n round_o about_o the_o bottom_n of_o they_o of_o very_o fresh_a and_o clear_a water_n and_o often_o time_n some_o which_o rise_v very_o near_o the_o top_n of_o they_o which_o seem_v to_o proceed_v from_o their_o great_a elevation_n above_o the_o other_o plain_a superficial_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n whereby_o the_o air_n be_v dash_v and_o break_v against_o they_o they_o help_v to_o condense_a the_o vapour_n that_o be_v elevate_v into_o the_o high_a and_o cool_a region_n of_o the_o air_n and_o so_o serve_v like_o filtre_n to_o draw_v down_o those_o vapour_n so_o condense_v and_o convey_v they_o into_o the_o valley_n beneath_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v very_o usual_a in_o country_n where_o there_o be_v high_a hill_n to_o see_v the_o top_n of_o they_o often_o cover_v with_o cloud_n and_o mist_n when_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o dry_a weather_n beneath_o in_o the_o valley_n and_o in_o the_o pass_n through_o those_o cloud_n on_o the_o top_n i_o have_v very_o often_o find_v in_o they_o very_o thick_a mist_n and_o small_a rain_n whereas_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v descend_v from_o the_o high_a into_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o hill_n none_o of_o that_o mist_n or_o rain_n have_v fall_v there_o though_o i_o can_v still_o perceive_v the_o same_o mist_n to_o remain_v
