2. That those bound to the _Caribbee Isles_, find, as they approach the _American_ side, that the aforesaid _North-East_ Wind becomes still more and more Easterly, so as sometimes to be _East_, sometimes _East_ by _South_, but yet most commonly to the _Northward_ of the _East_ a Point or two, seldom more. 'Tis likewise observ'd, that the strength of these Winds does gradually decrease, as you sail to the _Westwards_. 3. That the limits of the Trade and variable Winds, in this Ocean, are farther extended on the _American_ side than the _African_; for whereas you meet not with this certain Wind till after you have pass'd the Latitude of twenty eight Degrees on this side; on the _American_ side it commonly holds to thirty, thirty one, or thirty two Degrees of Latitude; and this is verified likewise to the Southwards of the Æquinoctial, for near the _Cape_ of _Good-Hope_ the limits of the Trade Winds, are three or four Degrees nearer the Line, than on the Coast of _Brazile_. 4. That from the Latitude of four Degrees _North_, to the aforesaid Limits on the _South_ of the Æquator, the Winds are generally and perpetually between the _South_ and _East_, and most commonly between the _South-East_ and _East_, observing always this Rule, That on the _African_ side they are more _Southerly_, on the _Brazilian_ more _Easterly_, so as to become almost due _East_, the little deflection they have being still to the _Southwards_. In this part of the Ocean it has been my fortune to pass a full Year, in an Employment that oblig'd me to regard more than ordinary the Weather, and I found the Winds constantly about the _South-East_, the most usual Point _S E b E_; when it was Easterly, it generally blew hard, and was gloomy, dark, and sometimes rainy Weather; if it came to the Southwards it was generally Serene, and a small Gale next to a Calm, but this not very common. But I never saw it to the Westwards of the South, or Northwards of the East. 5. That the Season of the Year has some small effect on these Trade Winds, for that when the Sun is considerable to the Northwards of the Æquator, the South-East Winds, especially in the Straight of this Ocean (if I may so call it) between _Brazile_ and the Coast of _Guinea_, do vary a Point or two to the Southwards, and the North-East become more Easterly; and on the contrary, when the Sun is towards the Tropick of _Capricorn_ the South-Easterly Winds become more Easterly, and the North-Easterly Winds on this side the Line veere more to the Northwards.
