thus_o the_o heat_n happen_v to_o overcome_v which_o be_v the_o necessary_a operation_n towards_o the_o beget_n of_o the_o saltish_a water_n it_o be_v also_o more_o convenient_a for_o navigation_n that_o the_o water_n be_v saltish_a then_o fresh_a for_o the_o saltish_a water_n be_v heavy_a than_o the_o fresh_a that_o it_o be_v so_o be_v prove_v by_o many_o experience_n as_o for_o example_n this_o one_o take_v fresh_a water_n and_o mingle_v it_o with_o a_o good_a quantity_n of_o salt_n so_o that_o the_o salt_n may_v melt_v and_o be_v dissolve_v into_o water_n then_o take_v a_o fresh_a egg_n and_o put_v it_o on_o the_o mix_a water_n the_o thickness_n of_o the_o water_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o salt_n will_v bearup_v the_o egg_n by_o its_o thickness_n &_o will_v cause_v it_o to_o swim_v over_o it_o the_o which_o in_o fresh_a water_n will_v descend_v to_o the_o bottom_n by_o this_o same_o experience_n it_o may_v likewise_o be_v demonstrate_v that_o a_o vessel_n will_v sink_v soon_o in_o fresh_a water_n then_o in_o salt_n water_n for_o the_o fresh_a water_n divide_v itself_o both_o soon_o and_o close_v with_o great_a ease_n than_o the_o salt_n water_n do_v so_o as_o by_o the_o drive_v of_o the_o egg_n on_o the_o salt_n water_n the_o argument_n may_v be_v likewise_o strengthen_v that_o the_o saltishnesse_n in_o the_o sea_n water_n be_v not_o divide_v but_o that_o the_o whole_a sea_n throughout_o its_o water_n be_v as_o well_o salt_n at_o the_o bottom_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n as_o on_o the_o superficies_n and_o therefore_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o philosopher_n that_o the_o sea_n water_n shall_v be_v fresh_a at_o the_o bottom_n be_v frivolous_a be_v that_o the_o sea-fish_n be_v no_o more_o salt_n than_o those_o of_o fresh_a water_n rivers_n and_o that_o the_o reason_n thereof_o shall_v be_v that_o the_o fish_n make_v their_o litter_n and_o feed_v in_o the_o bottom_n which_o be_v but_o a_o slight_a argument_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o say_v only_o this_o thereon_o that_o though_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sea_n move_v in_o a_o entire_a mass_n by_o its_o ebb_a and_o flow_v yet_o since_o its_o a_o liquid_a body_n it_o can_v choose_v be_v so_o much_o agitate_a by_o the_o wind_n but_o be_v general_o salt_n and_o the_o which_o can_v be_v contradict_v by_o so_o weak_a a_o conceit_n as_o that_o the_o sea-fish_n be_v not_o salt_n because_o they_o feed_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o god_n have_v give_v unto_o the_o element_n their_o due_a propriety_n as_o well_o as_o unto_o all_o the_o creature_n and_o likewise_o to_o all_o the_o production_n both_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o sea_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o contradiction_n of_o a_o possibility_n in_o fish_n that_o live_v in_o salt_n water_n to_o have_v a_o fresh_a taste_n then_o that_o the_o moisture_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o muscadine_n spanish_a grape_n shall_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o same_o soil_n whereon_o the_o bitter_a

the_o sea_n have_v contrary_a motion_n and_z different_z the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o seneca_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n of_o the_o current_n of_o water_n from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o than_o the_o height_n and_o lowness_n of_o place_n that_o only_a motion_n except_v by_o the_o which_o the_o sea_n increase_v and_o decrease_v for_o as_o aforesaid_a it_o follow_v the_o course_n of_o the_o moon_n for_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n increase_v and_o decrease_v in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o east_n west_n north_n and_o

it_o be_v downward_o towards_o the_o bottom_n for_o that_o such_o a_o motion_n do_v not_o happen_v accidental_o but_o by_o the_o proper_a essence_n agree_v to_o its_o form_n how_o it_o chance_v that_o the_o sea_n do_v neither_o overflow_n augment_v nor_o enlarge_v itself_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o sea_n do_v not_o overflow_n augment_v nor_o enlarge_v itself_o though_o so_o much_o water_n be_v engender_v in_o it_o and_o that_o it_o do_v continual_o receive_v so_o many_o river_n and_o fountain_n into_o it_o be_v that_o the_o sea_n be_v the_o natural_a receptacle_n of_o all_o the_o water_n and_o their_o proper_a retire_n and_o rest_v place_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o overflow_v nor_o enlarge_v itself_o for_o that_o no_o place_n can_v drive_v back_o nor_o hinder_v the_o entrance_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o by_o nature_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o she_o since_o natural_o the_o place_n ought_v to_o conform_v itself_o unto_o that_o which_o it_o enclose_v like_v as_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v capable_a to_o receive_v into_o she_o all_o the_o river_n and_o nevertheless_o for_o their_o entrance_n do_v not_o overflow_n nor_o augment_v also_o the_o sea_n do_v not_o overflow_v because_o it_o be_v of_o such_o a_o vast_a extent_n that_o the_o river_n be_v as_o nothing_o in_o consideration_n to_o it_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o wind_n consume_v such_o a_o quantity_n of_o water_n that_o though_o the_o sea_n continual_o engender_v and_o that_o the_o river_n incessant_o run_v into_o it_o yea_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o lessen_v nor_o augment_v as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o job_n lord_n thou_o have_v set_v a_o limit_n the_o which_o it_o shall_v not_o pass_v the_o holy_a writ_n say_v in_o genesis_n that_o the_o water_n of_o the_o deluge_n do_v rise_v fifteen_o cubit_n over_o the_o high_a hill_n under_o the_o heaven_n insomuch_o that_o all_o the_o earth_n be_v cover_v with_o water_n but_o though_o this_o increase_n of_o water_n be_v so_o great_a yet_o nevertheless_o the_o sea_n do_v not_o overflow_v the_o earth_n by_o transgress_v its_o limit_n or_o bound_n the_o increase_n of_o those_o water_n proceed_v from_o two_o cause_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o window_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v as_o the_o text_n say_v and_o it_o rain_v on_o the_o earth_n forty_o day_n and_o forty_o night_n exceed_o the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o fountain_n river_n and_o current_n do_v overflow_n insomuch_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v by_o they_o cover_v as_o

the_o ark_n and_o afterward_o the_o same_o text_n say_v that_o god_n cause_v a_o wind_n to_o pass_v over_o the_o earth_n which_o abate_v the_o water_n the_o rain_n from_o heaven_n be_v also_o

six_o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o sea_n run_v from_o the_o north_n to_o the_o south_n and_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o the_o sea_n be_v high_a in_o the_o north_n then_o towards_o the_o

excentrique_fw-la circle_n and_o that_o its_o centre_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o if_o the_o diameter_n of_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v pass_v

the_o earth_n in_o the_o southern_a part_n then_o in_o the_o northern_a and_o thus_o by_o its_o approach_v the_o south_n heat_v it_o so_o violent_o that_o it_o consume_v the_o water_n and_o scorch_v the_o earth_n which_o it_o do_v not_o at_o the_o north._n wherefore_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v brinish_a and_o salt_n and_o that_o such_o water_n be_v best_a for_o navigation_n the_o matter_n which_o cause_v the_o sea_n to_o be_v brinish_a and_o salt_n be_v because_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o vapour_n in_o the_o sea_n viz._n hot_a and_o moist_a and_o hot_a and_o dry_v the_o one_o whereof_o evaporate_n itself_o from_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o other_o raise_v itself_o from_o its_o bottom_n by_o force_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o star_n which_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o its_o vapour_n and_o because_o that_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o water_n be_v very_o subtle_a between_o these_o two_o therefore_o it_o elevate_v itself_o in_o the_o
