cistern_n of_o water_n be_v place_v by_o the_o divine_a architect_n i_o have_v spare_v no_o labour_n nor_o experience_n to_o find_v out_o the_o head_n of_o this_o spring_n and_o therefore_o i_o

best_a therefore_o to_o fetch_v the_o original_a of_o these_o water_n from_o another_o source_n viz._n from_o some_o secret_a cistern_n of_o water_n place_v in_o the_o inner_a part_n of_o the_o apennine_a mountain_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o inner_a part_n of_o the_o mountain_n be_v cavernous_a and_o that_o there_o be_v in_o they_o cistern_n of_o water_n from_o whence_o

in_o rehearse_v the_o curious_a thing_n that_o occur_v in_o the_o dig_v of_o these_o well_n that_o there_o be_v three_o bed_n of_o clay_n two_o of_o 11_o foot_n another_o below_o it_o of_o less_o

between_o of_o two_o foot_n a_o piece_n therefore_o this_o conjecture_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o universal_a deluge_n take_v from_o the_o thickness_n of_o the_o clay_n be_v of_o no_o weight_n
