fall one way, namely alwaies towards the North, as those that
dwell in the Northerne temperate Zone, or alwaies to the South,
as those that dwell in the Southerne temperate Zone.

3 _Periscy_ ([Greek: perischioi]) whose shadowes goe round about
them, as those people who dwell in the two cold Zones, for as the
Sunne never goes downe to them after he is once vp, but alwaies
round about, so doe their shadowes.

about the Earth in one and the same paralell, as for
example vnder the Tropicke of Cancer.

2 Antoeci ([Greek: antoichoi]) such as dwell opposite to
the former in another Paralell of the same distance
from the Æquator. As those vnder the Tropicke of
Capricorne.

3 Antipodes ([Greek: antipodes]) who dwell iust vnder vs
theire feete opposite to ours.
