And therefore seeing the greatest declination of the Sunne is almost 24
degrees, it followeth, his greatest height in those countries to be almost
24 degrees. [Sidenote: London.] And so high is the Sun at noone to vs in
London about the 29 of October, being in the 15 degree of Scorpio, and
likewise the 21 of Ianuary being in the 15 of Aquarius. Therefore looke
what force the Sun at noone hath in London the 29 of October, the same
force of heat it hath, to them that dwell vnder the pole, the space almost
of two moneths, during the time of the Summer solstitium, and that without
intermingling of any colde night; so that if the heat of the Sunne at noone
could be well measured in London (which is very hard to do because of the
long nights which ingender great moisture and cold) then would manifestly
appeare by expresse numbers the maner of the heat vnder the poles, which
certainly must needs be to the inhabitants very commodious and profitable,
if it incline not to ouermuch heat, and if moisture do not want.

For as in October in England we finde temperate aire, and haue in our
gardens hearbs and floures notwithstanding our cold nights, how much more
should they haue the same good aire, being continuall without night. This
heat of ours continueth but one houre, while the Sun is in that meridian,
but theirs continueth a long time in one height. This our heat is weake,
and by the coolnesse of the night vanisheth, that heat is strong, and by
continuall accesse is still increased and strengthened. [Sidenote:
Comodious dwelling vnder the poles.] And thus by a similitude of the equal
height of the Sun in both places appeareth the commodious and moderate heat
of the regions vnder the poles.

And surely I cannot thinke that the diuine prouidence hath made any thing
vncommunicable, but to haue giuen such order to all things, that one way or
other the same should be imployed, and that euery thing and place should be
