into_o the_o sea_n every_o year_n eternity_n comprehend_v a_o infiniteness_n of_o year_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o a_o infiniteness_n of_o earth_n shall_v have_v enter_v into_o the_o sea_n and_o will_v have_v fill_v not_o only_o the_o channel_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o a_o hundred_o million_o of_o other_o if_o there_o be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o the_o sea_n will_v have_v cover_v the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o rain_n and_o flood_n a_o little_a quantity_n of_o earth_n enter_v into_o the_o river_n and_o from_o thence_o into_o the_o sea_n without_o ever_o come_v out_o of_o it_o again_o therefore_o within_o a_o infinite_a time_n such_o as_o eternity_n be_v the_o channel_n of_o the_o sea_n will_v be_v fill_v and_o consequent_o if_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o

that_o sometime_o egypt_n be_v a_o sea_n see_v then_o that_o the_o sea_n have_v not_o cover_v the_o earth_n let_v we_o conclude_v that_o neither_o sea_n nor_o earth_n have_v be_v from_o all_o
