much_o more_o for_o the_o difference_n there_o be_v thereof_o in_o diverse_a sea_n yea_o in_o diverse_a coast_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o sea_n there_o be_v some_o sea_n that_o have_v no_o daily_a

which_o be_v that_o of_o venice_n and_o just_o give_v cause_n of_o admiration_n that_o these_o two_o sea_n be_v mediterranean_n and_o that_o of_o venice_n be_v no_o great_a than_o the_o other_o yet_o have_v it_o his_o ebb_a and_o flow_v as_o the_o ocean_n and_o that_o other_o sea_n of_o italy_n none_o at_o all_o there_o be_v some_o mediterranean_a sea_n that_o apparent_o rise_v and_o fall_v

spring_n tide_n to_o say_v that_o any_o sea_n have_v this_o daily_a ebb_a and_o flow_v and_o not_o monthly_o i_o know_v not_o any_o it_o be_v strange_a the_o difference_n we_o find_v of_o this_o subject_n at_o the_o indies_n for_o there_o be_v some_o place_n whereas_o the_o sea_n do_v daily_o rise_v &_o fall_v two_o league_n as_o at_o panama_n and_o at_o a_o high_a water_n it_o rise_v much_o more_o there_o be_v other_o place_n where_o it_o do_v rise_v and_o fall_v so_o little_a that_o hardly_o can_v you_o find_v the_o difference_n it_o be_v ordinary_a in_o the_o ocean_n sea_n to_o have_v a_o daily_a flow_a and_o ebb_v and_o that_o be_v twice_o in_o a_o natural_a day_n and_o ever_o it_o fall_v three_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n soon_o one_o day_n then_o another_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o the_o moon_n so_o as_o the_o tide_n fall_v not_o always_o in_o one_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n some_o will_v say_v that_o this_o flux_n and_o reflux_n proceed_v from_o the_o local_a motion_n of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n so_o as_o the_o water_n that_o rise_v on_o the_o one_o side_n fall_v on_o the_o other_o that_o be_v opposite_a unto_o it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v full_a sea_n on_o the_o one_o side_n when_o as_o it_o be_v a_o low_a water_n on_o the_o opposite_a as_o we_o see_v in_o a_o kettle_n full_a of_o water_n when_o we_o move_v it_o when_o it_o lean_v to_o the_o one_o side_n the_o water_n increase_v and_o on_o the_o other_o it_o diminish_v other_o affirm_v that_o the_o sea_n rise_v in_o all_o part_n at_o one_o time_n and_o decrease_v at_o one_o instant_a as_o the_o boil_a of_o a_o pot_n come_v out_o of_o the_o centre_n it_o extend_v itself_o on_o all_o part_n and_o when_o it_o cease_v it_o fall_v likewise_o on_o all_o part_n this_o second_o opinion_n be_v true_a and_o in_o my_o judgement_n certain_a and_o try_v not_o so_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n which_o the_o philosopher_n give_v in_o their_o meteor_n as_o for_o the_o certain_a experience_n we_o may_v make_v for_o to_o satisfy_v myself_o upon_o this_o point_n and_o question_n i_o demand_v particular_o of_o the_o say_a pilot_n how_o he_o find_v the_o tide_n in_o the_o straight_o and_o if_o the_o tide_n of_o the_o south_n sea_n do_v fall_v whenas_o those_o of_o the_o north_n do_v rise_v and_o contrariwise_o this_o question_n be_v true_a why_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o sea_n in_o one_o place_n be_v the_o decrease_n thereof_o in_o another_o as_o the_o first_o opinion_n hold_v he_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o they_o may_v see_v plain_o that_o the_o tide_n of_o the_o north_n and_o south_n sea_n rise_v at_o one_o instant_a so_o as_o the_o wave_n of_o one_o sea_n encounter_v with_o the_o other_o and_o at_o one_o instant_a likewise_o they_o begin_v to_o retire_v every_o one_o into_o his_o sea_n say_v that_o the_o rise_n and_o fall_v be_v daily_o see_v and_o that_o the_o encounter_n of_o the_o tide_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v at_o three_o score_n and_o ten_o league_n to_o the_o north_n sea_n and_o thirty_o to_o the_o south_n whereby_o we_o may_v plain_o gather_v that_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o ocean_n be_v no_o pure_a local_a motion_n but_o rather_o a_o alteration_n whereby_o all_o water_n real_o rise_v and_o increase_v at_o one_o instat_fw-la and_o in_o other_o they_o dimini●h_v as_o the_o boil_a of_o a_o pot_n whereof_o i_o have_v
