as_o moses_n the_o servant_n of_o god_n tell_v we_o in_o a_o stile_n suitable_a to_o the_o grandeur_n of_o the_o subject_a that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n move_v upon_o the_o water_n and_o the_o great_a creator_n by_o a_o almighty_a fiat_n command_v dry_a land_n and_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v and_o according_o dry_a land_n and_o all_o thing_n be_v it_o be_v not_o then_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o simple_a element_n or_o of_o mere_a motion_n and_o gravity_n that_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n in_o the_o state_n they_o be_v now_o in_o do_v perform_v their_o several_a office_n and_o operation_n for_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o those_o power_n be_v in_o many_o thing_n restrain_v without_o alter_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o natural_a body_n or_o hinder_v the_o ordinary_a exercise_n of_o they_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o order_n and_o welfare_n of_o the_o universe_n it_o be_v then_o the_o constitution_n they_o receive_v at_o their_o first_o creation_n the_o figure_n proportion_n scite_fw-la and_o position_n of_o their_o part_n in_o mixion_n which_o philosopher_n have_v call_v the_o substantial_a form_n that_o be_v the_o main_a principle_n whereby_o they_o act_n and_o preserve_v themselves_o in_o the_o order_n and_o state_n they_o be_v in_o which_o if_o dissolve_v and_o nature_n let_v loose_a to_o itself_o the_o element_n will_v certain_o return_v to_o their_o ancient_a state_n and_o by_o their_o primary_n and_o natural_a principle_n of_o gravity_n involve_v all_o thing_n again_o into_o confusion_n whatever_o may_v be_v the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o this_o the_o will_n of_o the_o creator_n must_v be_v the_o chief_a director_n since_o the_o creation_n the_o world_n have_v but_o have_v one_o sad_a instance_n of_o this_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o divine_a promise_n be_v to_o have_v no_o more_o before_o its_o final_a dissolution_n and_o this_o happen_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n when_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n the_o world_n be_v overwhelm_v by_o a_o flood_n and_o the_o water_n mount_v fifteen_o cubit_n high_a over_o the_o top_n of_o the_o high_a mountain_n which_o how_o it_o may_v be_v do_v by_o natural_a cause_n without_o any_o miracle_n be_v that_o which_o now_o i_o undertake_v to_o explain_v in_o order_n to_o this_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o observe_v the_o external_a face_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o world_n the_o terraqueous_a globe_n then_o which_o we_o inhabit_v though_o it_o be_v round_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o of_o a_o smooth_a equal_a and_o unite_a surface_n but_o there_o be_v in_o it_o many_o and_o great_a depression_n and_o cavity_n vast_a and_o spacious_a chasm_n that_o lie_v betwixt_o the_o high_a swell_v of_o the_o ocean_n and_o the_o top_n of_o the_o

overflow_a the_o low_a ground_n and_o by_o so_o do_v bring_v ruin_n and_o desolation_n upon_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o habitable_a earth_n for_o we_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o ocean_n in_o its_o high_a swell_v rise_v to_o as_o great_a a_o height_n as_o the_o top_n of_o the_o high_a mountain_n and_o if_o this_o can_v not_o be_v demonstrate_v by_o experience_n and_o

have_v hitherto_o puzelled_a the_o most_o ingenious_a and_o industrious_a enquirer_n so_o it_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n demonstrate_v that_o the_o swell_a of_o the_o ocean_n rise_v high_a or_o at_o
