of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la and_o that_o of_o serchio_n by_o a_o little_a trench_n to_o see_v what_o advantage_n the_o level_n e_o hath_z upon_o the_o level_n i_o do_v not_o give_v i_o full_a

morto_fw-la scant_a of_o water_n the_o contrary_n will_v follow_v if_o the_o mouth_n shall_v be_v open_v to_o the_o sea_n and_o here_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o i_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v

of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la but_o the_o difficulty_n which_o be_v that_o we_o be_v to_o regard_v in_o our_o case_n be_v that_o the_o course_n of_o the_o water_n through_o the_o trench_n be_v three_o time_n long_o than_o the_o course_n of_o the_o mouth_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la as_o appear_v by_o the_o draught_n or_o plat_v which_o you_o send_v i_o which_o i_o know_v to_o be_v very_o exact_o draw_v for_o that_o the_o situation_n of_o those_o place_n be_v fresh_a in_o my_o memory_n here_o i_o must_v give_v notice_n that_o the_o water_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la determine_v through_o the_o trench_n in_o serchio_n the_o water_n of_o which_o fiume_n morto_fw-la be_v for_o certain_a never_o so_o low_a as_o the_o sea_n their_o pendency_n or_o declivity_n shall_v for_o two_o cause_n be_v less_o than_o the_o pendency_n of_o those_o water_n through_o the_o mouth_n towards_o the_o sea_n that_o be_v because_o of_o the_o length_n of_o the_o line_n through_o the_o trench_n and_o because_o of_o the_o height_n of_o their_o entrance_n into_o serchio_n a_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o very_o great_a import_n in_o discharge_v the_o water_n which_o come_v sudden_o as_o he_o shall_v plain_o see_v who_o shall_v have_v understand_v my_o book_n of_o the_o measure_n of_o run_v water_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o all_o the_o country_n do_v grow_v dry_a upon_o the_o open_n of_o the_o mouth_n into_o the_o sea_n and_o here_o i_o propose_v to_o consideration_n that_o which_o the_o peasant_n about_o pisa_n relate_v namely_o that_o the_o water_n in_o the_o field_n do_v no_o considerable_a harm_n by_o continue_v there_o five_o or_o six_o yea_o or_o eight_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o work_n of_o the_o country_n be_v to_o open_v the_o mouth_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la in_o such_o manner_n that_o the_o water_n be_v come_v they_o may_v have_v the_o trench_n free_a and_o ready_a when_o that_o the_o water_n come_v it_o may_v have_v a_o free_a drain_v and_o may_v not_o

of_o tardity_n of_o much_o and_o little_a water_n thing_n that_o be_v all_o to_o be_v specify_v by_o measure_n 6._o your_o letter_n say_v in_o the_o next_o place_n that_o signore_v bartolotti_n confess_v that_o if_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o fiume_n morto_fw-it may_v always_o be_v keep_v open_a it_o will_v be_v better_a to_o let_v it_o continue_v as_o it_o be_v the_o which_o that_o i_o may_v

reply_n that_o fiume_n morto_fw-it ought_v not_o to_o be_v let_v into_o serchio_n but_o immediate_o into_o the_o sea_n because_o although_o sometime_o the_o mouth_n to_o seaward_n be_v stop_v up_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o the_o raise_n of_o the_o bank_n above_o the_o plain_n which_o be_v all_o the_o business_n of_o importance_n shall_v be_v ever_o lesser_a if_o we_o make_v use_v of_o the_o

bartolotti_n that_o be_v where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o two_o mouth_n a_o and_o d_o be_v equal_a to_o the_o like_a mouth_n into_o the_o sea_n now_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o the_o mouth_n a_o of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la into_o serchio_n be_v absolute_o within_o serchio_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v make_v low_a and_o be_v regulate_v by_o the_o height_n of_o serchio_n but_o the_o mouth_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la terminate_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v understand_v to_o terminate_v in_o the_o sea_n itself_o the_o low_a place_n and_o this_o i_o believe_v be_v very_o well_o perceive_v by_o sig._n bartolotti_n but_o i_o can_v tell_v why_o he_o pass_v it_o over_o without_o declare_v it_o and_o we_o see_v not_o that_o the_o mouth_n d_o fall_v far_a from_o the_o sea_n which_o mouth_n ought_v to_o be_v let_v into_o the_o sea_n itself_o and_o so_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o mouth_n into_o the_o sea_n more_o clear_o appear_v 8._o that_o which_o sig._n bartolotti_n add_v that_o when_o it_o be_v high_a water_n at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o water_n be_v out_o and_o when_o wind_n choke_v up_o fiume_n morto_fw-la they_o not_o only_o retard_v it_o but_o return_v the_o course_n of_o the_o water_n upward_o very_o leisurely_o persuade_v i_o more_o ready_o to_o believe_v that_o sig._n bartolotti_n know_v very_o well_o that_o the_o mouth_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la let_v into_o serchio_n be_v hurtful_a for_o by_o this_o he_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o mouth_n towards_o the_o sea_n do_v in_o such_o sort_n drain_v the_o country_n of_o the_o water_n as_o that_o they_o become_v very_o low_a and_o therefore_o upon_o every_o little_a impetus_fw-la the_o water_n turn_v their_o course_n and_o from_o the_o motion_n be_v exceed_v slow_a be_v infer_v that_o the_o abundance_n of_o sea-water_n that_o come_v into_o fiume_n morto_fw-la be_v so_o much_o as_o be_v believe_v and_o as_o sig._n bartolotti_n affirm_v 9_o after_o that_o sig._n bartolotti_n have_v say_v what_o he_o promise_v above_o namely_o that_o when_o the_o wind_n blow_v strong_o do_v stop_v up_o fiume_n morto_fw-la and_o not_o only_o retard_v but_o turn_v the_o course_n upward_o the_o time_n be_v rainy_n and_o the_o mouth_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la shut_v up_o the_o wave_n of_o the_o sea_n pass_v over_o the_o bank_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la at_o that_o time_n say_v signore_v bartolotti_n the_o champain_n shall_v know_v the_o benefit_n of_o fiume_n morto_fw-la discharge_v into_o serchio_n and_o the_o mouth_n a_o shall_v stand_v always_o open_a and_o fiume_n morto_fw-it may_v always_o constant_o run_v out_o as_o also_o the_o rain_n and_o rain-water_n although_o the_o hurtful_a tempest_n shall_v last_v many_o day_n etc._n etc._n and_o i_o reply_v that_o all_o the_o art_n consist_v in_o this_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o those_o field_n do_v not_o depend_v on_o or_o consist_v in_o say_v that_o fiume_n morto_fw-la be_v always_o open_a and_o fiume_n morto_fw-la drain_v continual_o but_o all_o the_o business_n of_o profit_n lie_v and_o consist_v in_o maintain_v the_o water_n low_a in_o those_o plain_n and_o those_o ditch_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v effect_v whilst_o the_o world_n stand_v if_o you_o let_v fiume_n morto_fw-la into_o serchio_n but_o yet_o it_o may_v by_o open_v the_o mouth_n into_o the_o sea_n and_o so_o much_o reason_n and_o nature_n prove_v and_o which_o import_v
