as_o the_o sun_n come_v near_a the_o sky_n grow_v more_o cloudy_a and_o the_o wether_n more_o moist_a for_o the_o rain_n follow_v the_o sun_n and_o begin_v on_o either_o side_n of_o the_o

exact_o at_o one_o time_n in_o all_o year_n neither_o be_v all_o place_n subject_a to_o wet_v or_o dry_a weather_n alike_o for_o in_o some_o place_n it_o rain_v less_o than_o in_o other_o and_o

such_o as_o lie_v near_o the_o line_n be_v most_o subject_a to_o ra_n yet_o even_o among_o bay_n or_o bend_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n in_o the_o wether_n as_o to_o dry_a or_o

subject_a to_o great_a variation_n but_o to_o proceed_v with_o matter_n of_o fact_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o dry_v coast_n and_o first_o with_o that_o of_o peru_n from_o 3_o d._n south_n to_o 30_o d._n south_n there_o it_o never_o rain_n neither_o at_o sea_n for_o a_o good_a distance_n off_o shore_n as_o for_o 250_o or_o 300_o league_n no_o nor_o on_o the_o shore_n for_o a_o considerable_a way_n within_o land_n though_o exact_o how_o far_o i_o know_v not_o yet_o there_o be_v small_a mist_n sometime_o in_o a_o morning_n for_o two_o or_o three_o hour_n but_o seldom_o continue_v after_o 10_o a_o clock_n and_o there_o be_v dew_n also_o in_o the_o night_n this_o coast_n lie_v n._n and_o s._n it_o have_v the_o sea_n open_a to_o the_o west_n and_o a_o chain_n of_o very_o high_a mountain_n run_v a_o long_a shore_n on_o the_o east_n &_o the_o wind_n constant_o southerly_a as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o winds._n in_o which_o head_n i_o have_v make_v a_o comparison_n as_o well_o of_o the_o wind_n on_o the_o coast_n of_o africa_n in_o the_o same_o latitude_n as_o of_o the_o lie_v of_o the_o coast_n only_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n that_o the_o coast_v trade-wind_n on_o the_o american_n side_n do_v blow_v further_o from_o the_o land_n than_o those_o on_o the_o african_a side_n which_o difference_n may_v probable_o arise_v from_o the_o disproportion_n of_o the_o mountain_n that_o be_v in_o the_o two_o continent_n for_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o andes_n in_o america_n be_v some_o of_o the_o high_a mountain_n in_o the_o world_n but_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o on_o the_o continent_n of_o africa_n in_o those_o latitude_n so_o high_a i_o know_v not_o i_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o any_o at_o lest_o none_o such_o be_v visible_a to_o seaman_n i_o come_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o wether_n on_o the_o african_a coast_n which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o so_o dry_a as_o the_o coast_n of_o peru_n yet_o be_v it_o the_o next_o to_o it_o the_o wether_n there_o be_v very_o dry_a from_o march_n till_o october_n which_o be_v the_o dry_a season_n the_o rainy_a season_n which_o be_v from_o october_n till_o march_v be_v moderate_a without_o that_o excess_n that_o be_v in_o most_o other_o place_n in_o those_o latitude_n so_o that_o the_o wette_v season_n can_v only_o be_v call_v so_o from_o some_o gentle_a shower_n of_o rain_n there_o be_v some_o tornado_n but_o not_o so_o many_o as_o be_v in_o any_o other_o place_n both_o of_o the_o east_n or_o west_n indies_n the_o peruvian_n coast_n except_v and_o if_o the_o height_n of_o the_o andes_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o true_a east_n breez_n do_v not_o take_v place_n in_o the_o pacifick_n sea_n within_o 200_o league_n distance_n from_o the_o shore_n when_o yet_o the_o trade_n blow_v within_o 40_o league_n of_o the_o african_a coast_n that_o coast_n may_v perhaps_o be_v suppose_v to_o want_v such_o high_a mountain_n and_o if_o those_o american_n mountain_n do_v stop_v the_o wind_n from_o their_o career_n why_o may_v they_o not_o as_o well_o break_v the_o cloud_n before_o they_o reach_v near_o the_o shore_n and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o dry_a weather_n there_o and_o see_v both_o coast_n do_v lie_v alike_o and_o the_o wind_n be_v alike_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o weather_n be_v the_o same_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o disproportion_n between_o the_o mountain_n of_o these_o coast_n for_o the_o east_n side_n of_o those_o mountain_n be_v supply_v with_o rain_n enough_o as_o may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o great_a river_n that_o disembogue_v from_o thence_o into_o the_o atlantic_a sea_n whereas_o the_o river_n on_o the_o south_n sea-coast_n be_v but_o very_o few_o and_o small_a some_o of_o which_o do_v whole_o dry_v away_o for_o a_o good_a part_n of_o the_o year_n but_o yet_o they_o constant_o break-out_a again_o in_o their_o season_n when_o the_o rain_n in_o the_o country_n do_v come_v which_o always_o fall_v on_o west_n side_n of_o those_o mountain_n and_o this_o be_v about_o february_n as_o i_o have_v speak_v before_o of_o dry_a coast_n so_o now_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o rainy_a one_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o coast_n of_o guinea_n from_o cape_n lopos_n which_o lie_v one_o degree_n south_n take_v in_o the_o bite_v or_o bend_v of_o the_o land_n and_o all_o the_o coast_n west_n from_o thence_o as_o far_o as_o cape_n palmas_n this_o be_v a_o very_a wet_a coast_n subject_n to_o violent_a tornado_n and_o excessive_a rain_n especial_o in_o july_n and_o august_n in_o those_o month_n there_o be_v scarce_o any_o fait_fw-fr day_n this_o coast_n lie_v all_o of_o it_o very_o near_o the_o equator_fw-la and_o no_o where_o above_o 6_o or_o 7_o degree_n distance_n so_o that_o from_o its_o nearness_n to_o the_o equator_fw-la only_o we_o may_v probable_o conjecture_v that_o it_o be_v a_o rainy_a coast_n for_o most_o place_n lie_v near_o the_o line_n be_v very_o subject_a to_o rains_n yet_o some_o more_o than_o other_o and_o guinea_n may_v be_v reckon_v among_o the_o wette_v place_n in_o the_o world_n there_o may_v be_v place_n where_o the_o rain_n continue_v long_o but_o none_o be_v more_o violent_a while_o they_o last_o and_o as_o its_o nearness_n to_o the_o line_n may_v be_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o its_o moisture_n so_o by_o its_o situation_n also_o one_o will_v guess_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v subject_a to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o rain_n because_o there_o be_v a_o great_a bite_v or_o bend_v in_o of_o the_o land_n a_o little_a to_o the_o north_n of_o the_o line_n and_o from_o thence_o the_o land_n stretch_v west_n parallel_v with_o the_o line_n and_o these_o circumstance_n single_o take_v according_a to_o my_o observation_n do_v seldom_o fail_v but_o more_o especial_o where_o they_o both_o meet_v yet_o there_o may_v be_v other_o cause_n that_o may_v hinder_v those_o effect_n or_o at_o least_o serve_v to_o allay_v the_o violence_n of_o they_o as_o they_o do_v on_o some_o other_o coast_n i_o shall_v only_o instance_n in_o the_o opposite_a coast_n of_o america_n between_o the_o north_n cape_n which_o lie_v north_n of_o the_o equator_fw-la and_o cape_n blanco_n on_o brazil_n in_o south_n latitude_n now_o this_o land_n lie_v much_o after_o the_o form_n of_o the_o coast_n of_o guinea_n with_o this_o difference_n that_o one_o coast_n lie_v in_o south_n lat._n the_o other_o lie_v north_n of_o the_o equator_fw-la both_o of_o these_o promontory_n lay_v parallel_n with_o the_o equator_fw-la &_o there_o be_v not_o much_o difference_n in_o their_o distance_n
