shall_v cease_v but_o he_o will_v say_v the_o water_n come_v out_o from_o thence_o may_v overflow_v all_o the_o earth_n especial_o there_o be_v also_o great_a rain_n at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v according_a to_o his_o own_o rule_n in_o his_o first_o book_n chap._n 2._o that_o all_o the_o vapour_n in_o the_o upper_a region_n condense_v and_o become_v solid_a water_n do_v not_o make_v up_o the_o hundred_o part_n of_o what_o it_o be_v before_o to_o this_o he_o add_v another_o reason_n there_o a_o experiment_n make_v by_o a_o cubical_a vessel_n set_v forth_o to_o receive_v the_o rain_n in_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n the_o water_n receive_v do_v not_o make_v up_o a_o inch_n and_o a_o half_a and_o then_o compute_v how_o much_o water_n forty_o day_n rain_n will_v cause_v all_o which_o he_o conclude_v will_v amount_v to_o very_o little_a towards_o the_o deluge_n for_o which_o he_o require_v eight_o ocean_n if_o this_o be_v so_o little_a as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o he_o must_v have_v all_o the_o rest_n from_o his_o sea_n under_o the_o earth_n but_o then_o he_o come_v upon_o we_o with_o his_o romantic_a fly_a river_n as_o he_o express_v it_o pag._n 75._o which_o like_o the_o great_a dragon_n in_o the_o apocalypse_n with_o their_o wonderful_a tail_n sweep_v away_o a_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n yet_o the_o great_a part_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v still_o remain_v and_o escape_v the_o deluge_n for_o i_o will_v ask_v he_o how_o far_o these_o fly_a river_n can_v reach_v we_o find_v when_o a_o mighty_a stone_n dash_v into_o the_o water_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o water_n which_o be_v raise_v by_o it_o fly_v upward_o though_o some_o may_v rise_v oblique_o on_o either_o side_n let_v we_o now_o consider_v when_o two_o or_o three_o mountain_n or_o half_o a_o dozen_o fall_v into_o his_o gulf_n at_o once_o they_o may_v raise_v the_o water_n oblike_o a_o great_a way_n on_o either_o side_n i_o pray_v you_o how_o far_o shall_v i_o yield_v unto_o he_o a_o hundred_o mile_n or_o five_o hundred_o mile_n sure_a i_o yield_v a_o great_a way_n yet_o this_o will_v come_v very_o far_o short_a of_o the_o northern_a pole_n and_o thus_o many_o man_n may_v have_v escape_v the_o deluge_n and_o be_v save_v from_o it_o as_o well_o as_o noah_n with_o his_o ark._n so_o that_o this_o deluge_n will_v have_v be_v but_o a_o partial_a deluge_n over_o a_o small_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n a_o thing_n which_o he_o mighty_o argue_v against_o in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o his_o theory_n chap._n 3_o for_o as_o i_o show_v before_o the_o earth_n must_v needs_o break_v in_o those_o part_n next_o the_o torrid_a zone_n several_a hundred_o year_n before_o the_o northern_a and_o thus_o the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o habitable_a world_n will_v have_v escape_v the_o deluge_n again_o i_o pray_v you_o consider_v what_o moses_n say_v of_o the_o flood_n and_o this_o man_n urge_v also_o upon_o other_o occasion_n when_o it_o seem_v to_o serve_v his_o turn_n as_o when_o he_o argue_v against_o the_o creation_n of_o new_a water_n for_o that_o will_v make_v a_o sudden_a rise_n of_o water_n against_o which_o he_o urge_v the_o word_n of_o moses_n who_o say_v that_o the_o flood_n increase_v by_o degree_n till_o at_o length_n it_o lift_v up_o the_o ark_n above_o the_o earth_n and_o carry_v it_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o water_n and_o so_o decrease_v by_o degree_n but_o now_o the_o case_n be_v alter_v and_o the_o water_n must_v dash_v up_o and_o turnble_a down_o on_o a_o sudden_a be_v this_o increase_n by_o degree_n forty_o day_n or_o forty_o hour_n when_o the_o water_n can_v not_o be_v four_o minute_n in_o dash_v up_o and_o so_o tumble_v down_o again_o and_o thus_o he_o do_v in_o several_a place_n of_o his_o theory_n now_o pro_n and_o then_o con._n xvii_o and_o now_o come_v a_o thing_n very_o admirable_a he_o endeavour_v to_o screw_v out_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o romantic_a rupture_n from_o those_o few_o word_n of_o moses_n the_o fountain_n of_o the_o great_a deep_a be_v break_v open_a mark_v you_o say_v he_o here_o moses_n first_o speak_v of_o break_v open_a from_o whence_o he_o conclude_v a_o great_a breach_n and_o of_o what_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o great_a deep_a and_o this_o great_a deep_a he_o suppose_v be_v all_o include_v within_o the_o earth_n and_o have_v no_o fountain_n at_o all_o issue_v out_o for_o he_o allow_v no_o fountain_n in_o his_o new_a earth_n and_o therefore_o by_o fountain_n you_o must_v conceive_v moses_n do_v not_o mean_v such_o flow_a fountain_n as_o we_o have_v but_o the_o break_n or_o cleave_v the_o earth_n asunder_o when_o the_o water_n with_o the_o vapour_n force_v its_o way_n out_o but_o all_o this_o fancy_n of_o he_o be_v quite_o spoil_v by_o himself_o he_o give_v we_o a_o rule_n and_o a_o true_a one_o page_n 82._o that_o moses_n relate_v unto_o we_o the_o deluge_n as_o a_o historiographer_n aught_o to_o use_v common_a word_n and_o such_o as_o may_v express_v his_o meaning_n to_o the_o people_n to_o who_o he_o deliver_v this_o relation_n sure_o then_o the_o people_n who_o know_v no_o other_o fountain_n but_o such_o as_o usual_o we_o have_v flow_v with_o water_n must_v needs_o understand_v the_o like_a unto_o they_o and_o not_o such_o fraction_n and_o breach_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o they_o never_o hear_v of_o before_o nor_o any_o man_n ever_o call_v fountain_n then_o he_o make_v another_o observation_n that_o moses_n use_v here_o the_o word_n great_a abyss_n mention_v gen._n 1._o 2._o and_o not_o the_o common_a word_n for_o the_o sea_n but_o i_o shall_v show_v he_o that_o moses_n do_v call_v the_o same_o abyss_n the_o sea_n for_o gen._n 1._o 9_o those_o water_n which_o cover_v the_o earth_n ver_fw-la 2._o be_v gather_v together_o into_o one_o place_n and_o ver_fw-la 10._o god_n call_v those_o water_n sea_n and_o so_o we_o find_v that_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o great_a deep_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v both_o one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n and_o therefore_o we_o in_o our_o earth_n understand_v they_o so_o moses_n call_v they_o fountain_n of_o the_o great_a deep_a or_o fountain_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o by_o fountain_n of_o the_o sea_n we_o understand_v those_o that_o run_v from_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v break_v up_o

to_o any_o man_n that_o have_v not_o his_o head_n already_o fill_v with_o such_o a_o vain_a fancy_n as_o the_o rupture_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n but_o pass_v over_o all_o this_o let_v we_o now_o

the_o window_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v both_o in_o the_o same_o day_n but_o in_o his_o description_n of_o the_o flood_n he_o put_v the_o rain_n forty_o day_n before_o any_o breach_n of_o the_o

description_n the_o earth_n must_v first_o break_v under_o the_o ark_n and_o so_o the_o ark_n necessary_o must_v fall_v along_o with_o it_o into_o the_o water_n which_o be_v under_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o he_o will_v have_v to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o lift_v up_o above_o the_o earth_n but_o poor_a noah_n with_o his_o son_n and_o daughter_n find_v it_o otherwise_o and_o sure_o be_v

this_o particular_a description_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v so_o plain_a as_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o he_o can_v speak_v plain_a tell_v we_o how_o the_o deluge_n be_v cause_v this_o man_n have_v

very_o well_o please_v with_o it_o if_o i_o say_v no_o author_n in_o the_o world_n ever_o understand_v the_o deluge_n or_o relate_v it_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o he_o have_v find_v out_o and_o

i_o will_v tell_v you_o in_o short_a the_o whole_a substance_n of_o this_o deluge_n as_o he_o set_v it_o forth_o xv._n first_o he_o presuppose_v the_o world_n to_o have_v be_v before_o the_o deluge_n of_o a_o smooth_a uniform_a surface_n of_o earth_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o without_o any_o sea_n appear_v but_o all_o the_o sea_n be_v enclose_v within_o a_o compass_n of_o earth_n round_o
