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

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

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

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
