That Accident which Sailers meet with between the Tropicks;

I mean that perpetual Gale of Winde that beats upon them from

times made the Voyage: And moreover (which is very

from its ſo fixed and conſtant Tenor; which when they have met

with, they tie up their ſhrouds and other cordage belonging to

the Sails, and without any more need of touching them, though

<

Trade-wind was known to be ſuch by its continual blowing

out interruptions; for if it were interrupted by other Windes, it

would not have been acknowledged for a ſingular Effect, and

lb

different from the reſt: from which I wlll infer, That it may be

that alſo our Mediterranean Sea doth partake of the like accident;

ence of other windes. </
