dales grow through the neerencs of the funne . But 

 within the Tropickcs vnder the burning Zone , the far 

 diftanceofthe funne workes the fame effeds that the 

 neerenes doth without theTropiks by reafon where- 

 of 5 it raines no more vndcr the burning Zone when the 

 funne is farre off, then without the Tropicks when it is 

 ncereft, for that in this approaching and retyring , the 

 funne remaines alwaies in onediftance whence pro- 

 ceedes this effed of cleerenes . But when the funne is 

 in the period of his force in the burning zone.^nd that 

 he caft his beames direftly vpon the inhabitants heads,, 

 there is neither cleerenes nor drienes, as it feems there 

 fhouldbe, but rather great andftrange (bowers $ for 

 that by this violent heat,he drawes vp fuddenly a great 

 'aboundance of vapours from the Earth and Ocean, 

 which are fo thicke, as the winde,not able eafily to difl 

 perfe them, they melt into water,which breedcth the 

 cold raine in fo great abcundance : for the exceflive 

 heat may foone draw vp many vapours, the which are 

 notfbfbone diflblved : and being gathered together 

 through their great aboundance , they melt and diC 

 (blve into water . The which we may eafily difcerne 

 by this familiar example: roil a peece of pork e^mutton,. 

 or veale$f the fire be violent,and the meate neere, we 

 fee thefatte melts fuddenly, and droppes away, the rea 

 fon is, that the violent heat drawes forth the humour 

 and fatte from the meate, and being in great aboun, 

 dance, cannot diflblve it, and foit diftills more away: 

 But when the fire is moderate, and the meat in ane- 

 quail diftance, we fee that it roftes hanfomely , and the ' 

 fatte drops not too fuddenly 5 for tbatthe moderate 

 heat drawes opt the moiftnes which it confumes fud 

 denly . And therefore Cookes make a moderate fire,
