after_o any_o great_a rain_n do_v bring_v down_o the_o soil_n for_o all_o the_o land_n water_n do_v always_o run_v down_o towards_o the_o sea_n where_o as_o it_o do_v ebb_v and_o flow_v and_o sometime_o the_o water_n overflow_v the_o bank_n and_o then_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o run_n of_o the_o water_n do_v fret_v away_o the_o bank_n and_o sometime_o it_o happen_v in_o the_o winter_n

when_o the_o moon_n do_v come_v round_o about_o unto_o the_o southeast_n than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o moon_n do_v tract_n or_o draw_v the_o water_n unto_o the_o eastwarde_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o water_n have_v a_o great_a course_n or_o sway_n unto_o the_o eastwarde_n be_v draw_v so_o vehement_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o moon_n untyll_o such_o time_n as_o the_o moon_n do_v come_v
