     summary: Besides , People in hot Regions have not need of so many things , there is no occasion for their Houses being so close nor furnisht with so many Circumstances of Beds and Bedding , continual Fires , and the like Provisional Accommodations to be laid up before-hand , either for Man or Beast ; as also half the Clothing will furnish Nature ; and the same is to be understood of Foods ; for all things necessary to the Maintenance of Life are far easier , and with half the Labour procured in hot Countries . Therefore since we have obtained the favour to plead our own Cause , we will be bold to tell our Masters , that these things cannot be otherwise , it being the eternal Law of God in Nature , that whatever Evil , Violence or Oppression is committed , either by Superior or Inferior , if not repented of , there must be a time of Retaliation either in this World , or that to come , according to the Nature of the Evil ; for as there is such an Affinity between man and man , that they can move each other either to Love or Hate , so there is a proportionate Similitude between him and the Coelestial Bodies and Elements , Man being not only the Image and Likeness of God and Nature , but the Horizon of both Worlds , in whom the superior and inferior Natures are conjoyned , and have their Intercourse ; for he is the Off-spring of the Stars , as well as the Sun of the Earth .
