As the Heat of the feveral Seafom affords us a different 
Face of Thijigs 3 fo the fe'veral diftant Climates (hew 
different Scenes of Nature, and Produ^fions of the 
* Conf. Naf. Earth The Hotter Countries yield ordinarily the 
/^rg-^y? and tallejl Trees: and thofe too in much greater 
fee;" " ' variety than the colder ever do. Even thofe Plants 
which are common to botl\ attain to a Aiuch greater 
Bulk in the Southern than in the Northern Climes. Nay 
ihere are fooie P.egions io bleak and ^fo//, that they raiie 
- ' no Vegetables at all to any conjiderable Jize, This we 
learn from Groenland, from IJland, and other Places of 
like cold Site and Condition. In thefe no Tree ever ap- 
pears : and the very Shrubs they afford are few^ little^ 
and low. 
Again, in the ^warmer Climates, and fuch as do fur- 
tiifh forth Trees and the larger Vegetables^ if there hap- 
pen a remiff^on or diminution of the ufual heat^ their 
Productions will be impeded and diminifhed in Proportion. 
.Oar /^/^ Colder Summers have given us Proof enough of 
this. For tho* the Heat we have had was fufficient to 
raife the Vegetative Matter into the kwer Plants, into 
our Corns^ our Wheat, Barley, Peafe and the like : and 
we have had plenty of Strawberries, Ralberries, Cur- 
rans, Goofoerries, and the Fruits of fuch other Vegeta- 
bles as are low and near the Earth : Yea and a moderate 
fiore of Cherries, Mulberries, Plums, Filberts, and 
fome others that grow at a fomewhat greater Height ;
