The J^atur aland Moral! 



Although this be learnedly fpoken,yet can we not de 

 wy it to be a winde, feeing there are vapdurs and exha 

 lations of the fea ; and that we fometimes fee the Brife 

 or eafterly winds ftrongerjfometimcs more weake, and 

 placed in that fort, as fometimes they can hardly carry . 

 all their failes. Wemuft then know (and it is true) that \ 

 the aire mooved, draweth vnto it the vapours it indes- , 

 For that the force is great, and fiadcs no refiftance , by 

 reafon whereof the eafternc and weafterne Iwindes are 

 continual!, and in a rnaner alway es dike, in thoie parts 

 which are neere the Line, and almoft vnder all the bur

 from the weft totheeaft, in altitude beyond theTro- 

 pikes, we ftiall finde wefterne windes, for that the mo 

 tion of the Equinodiall being fo fivift, it is a caufe that 

 the ay re mooveth vnder it according to this motion, 

 which is from eaft to weaft, drawing after it the vapors 

 and exhalations that rife of either fide the Equinodial 

 or burning zone , incountring the courfe and motion 

 of the zone , areforced by the repercuflion to retumc 

 almoft to the contrary, whence growc the fouthweaft 

 winds fb ordinary in thofe parts , Even as we fee in the 

 courfe of waters, the which (if they be incountred by 

 others of more force,) returneinamanerbacke. So it
