then_o upon_o deficiency_n of_o snow_n and_o rain-water_n as_o usual_o happen_v in_o long_a drought_n these_o spring_n will_v certain_o fail_v but_o we_o find_v the_o contrary_a viz._n that_o in_o

of_o these_o quick-spring_n shall_v for_o the_o generality_n of_o they_o do_v not_o prove_v deficient_a through_o long_a continue_a drought_n yet_o this_o may_v very_o probable_o happen_v upon_o a_o

spring_n have_v not_o their_o original_a from_o snow_n and_o rain-water_n be_v because_o we_o find_v spring_n break_v forth_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o hill_n or_o mountain_n which_o flow_v even_o in_o the_o great_a drought_n now_o if_o rain-water_n shall_v at_o that_o season_n only_o supply_v they_o then_o of_o necessity_n upon_o want_n of_o rain_n and_o continuance_n of_o long_a drought_n these_o must_v be_v dry_v up_o yea_o and_o that_o very_o speedy_o too_o because_o they_o want_v a_o supply_n from_o their_o essential_a constituent_a cause_n which_o according_a to_o his_o thesis_n be_v snow_n or_o rain-water_n but_o by_o experience_n we_o find_v the_o contrary_a viz_o that_o quick-spring_n even_o in_o long_a drought_n do_v keep_v their_o current_n therefore_o snow_n and_o rain-water_n be_v not_o the_o constituent_a or_o efficient_a cause_n of_o quick-spring_n 11._o the_o three_o reason_n that_o make_v i_o scruple_n the_o veracity_n of_o this_o hypothesis_n be_v
