to_o temperature_n those_o two_o fluid_n air_n and_o water_n may_v have_v this_o in_o common_a that_o where_o their_o surface_n be_v contiguous_a and_o in_o the_o neighbour_a part_n they_o happen_v to_o be_v sometime_o cold_a and_o sometime_o hot_a as_o the_o particle_n they_o consist_v of_o chance_v to_o be_v more_o or_o less_o agitate_a by_o the_o various_o reflect_a sunbeam_n or_o more_o or_o

considerable_a degree_n of_o coldness_n the_o agitation_n of_o their_o small_a part_n be_v usual_o in_o those_o region_n much_o inferior_a to_o that_o of_o the_o spirit_n blood_n &_o other_o part_n of_o our_o organ_n of_o feel_v so_o that_o the_o region_n of_o the_o water_n and_o air_n seem_v to_o answer_v one_o another_o but_o in_o a_o invert_v order_n of_o situation_n and_o the_o analogy_n may_v perhaps_o be_v carry_v further_o if_o i_o have_v time_n and_o opportunity_n to_o do_v it_o in_o this_o place_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v not_o dissemble_v that_o i_o be_v somewhat_o perplex_v

to_o my_o thought_n on_o this_o occasion_n that_o perhaps_o in_o a_o part_n of_o the_o torrid_a zone_n so_o near_o the_o line_n as_o about_o 80_o degree_n if_o the_o sea_n be_v not_o of_o a_o

i_o consider_v also_o which_o do_v not_o a_o little_a weigh_v with_o i_o that_o in_o divers_a part_n of_o the_o east-indies_n and_o even_o in_o a_o region_n border_v upon_o coromandell_n where_o a_o ingenious_a acquaintance_n of_o i_o live_v some_o year_n it_o have_v be_v observe_v that_o winter_n and_o summer_n be_v not_o so_o much_o discriminate_v by_o cold_a weather_n &_o hot_a as_o by_o very_a rainy_n weather_n and_o very_o dry_a nay_o in_o some_o place_n the_o sultry_a heat_n of_o the_o climate_n be_v more_o complain_v of_o in_o what_o they_o call_v their_o winter_n then_o their_o summer_n so_o that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o necessity_n to_o recur_v to_o a_o antiperistasis_n occasion_v by_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o winter_n i_o think_v too_o that_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v
