104- The ^aturatt and Moral! 



mount dire<5Uy , there the dayes and nights are equal!, 

 And therefore in all that Region which is betweene 

 the two Tropicks, there is kfTe inequality then with 

 out them ,anci the more we^pproch the Line, the Idle 

 incqualitie we finde, the which we have tryed in thofe 

 parts. Thofe ofjgxittofor that they are vnder the line, 

 have not throughout the whole yeere, the dayes and 

 nights more (hort at one feafon , then at an other , but 

 are continually cquall. Thofe of Z/w/f-beeing diftant 

 almoft twelve degrees , finde fome difference betwixt 

 the dayes and the nights, but veiy little, for that in De 

 cember and Tanuarie, the dayes increafean houreor 

 little leflc. Thofe of Potcfy finde much more diffe- 

 rencc,both in winter and in fummer, being almoft vn 

 der the Tropicke. But thofe that live without the Tro- 

 pikes, find die dayes in winter fhorter, and in fummer 

 longer: the more remote they are from the Equinoctial 

 and come neere the Pole, as we fee in Germany and in 

 England, the daies are longer in fummer , then in Italic 

 and in Spaine. It is a thing frhich the Sphere doth 

 teach, and experiencedoth plainely fliew vs.VVe muft 

 addean other propofition, which is likewife true ancf 

 very confiderable for all the effedes of nature tovn- 

 deiftand the perfeverance and continuation of the ef

 Line, the heat is not fo violent in fumrner r asinfome 

 other Regions, ( as in ^Anddoufia in the moneths of
