not_o only_o more_o frequent_a spring_n there_o but_o cloud_n and_o rain_n too_o now_o if_o this_o account_n of_o the_o origine_fw-la of_o spring_n in_o the_o earth_n be_v as_o rational_a as_o it_o be_v ingenious_a and_o handsome_a and_o there_o be_v not_o much_o can_v be_v say_v against_o it_o but_o only_o that_o then_o all_o fountain_n shall_v be_v salt_n as_o the_o water_n be_v from_o whence_o they_o come_v than_o we_o easy_o understand_v how_o the_o earth_n may_v be_v overflow_v in_o the_o universal_a deluge_n for_o then_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o deep_a be_v break_v up_o or_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a open_n of_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o earth_n whereby_o all_o the_o water_n contain_v in_o they_o will_v present_o run_v upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o must_v needs_o according_a to_o its_o proportion_n advance_v itself_o to_o a_o considerable_a height_n but_o because_o the_o salve_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o water_n in_o spring_n from_o what_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sea_n be_v so_o considerable_a a_o phaenomenon_n in_o our_o present_a case_n i_o therefore_o rather_o take_v this_o follow_v as_o the_o most_o rational_a account_n of_o the_o

quantity_n through_o those_o spongy_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n under_o the_o ocean_n which_o be_v most_o apt_a to_o suck_v in_o and_o convey_v away_o the_o surplusage_n of_o water_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o sea_n never_o swell_v by_o the_o water_n convey_v into_o it_o by_o the_o river_n there_o be_v as_o continual_a a_o circulation_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o earth_n of_o the_o water_n which_o pass_v out_o of_o the_o ocean_n into_o the_o subterraneous_a cavern_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o the_o mountain_n and_o thence_o into_o the_o sea_n again_o as_o there_o be_v a_o
