forward_a the_o flood_n decrease_v so_o that_o the_o three_o quarter_n it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n wherein_o it_o be_v the_o first_o quarter_n nevertheless_o when_o the_o wane_a moon_n be_v half_a round_n the_o flood_n begin_v to_o rise_v but_o when_o she_o be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o sun_n the_o tide_n rise_v as_o high_a as_o at_o full_a moon_n and_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v high_a and_o septentrional_a the_o tide_n be_v not_o so_o vehement_a as_o when_o she_o be_v meridional_a because_o that_o be_v then_o more_o near_o to_o the_o earth_n she_o do_v the_o more_o exercise_v her_o power_n but_o many_o have_v endeavour_v in_o this_o matter_n to_o understand_v sea_n why_o the_o ocean_n do_v differ_v in_o flow_v from_o other_o sea_n why_o the_o flow_n of_o the_o

less_o mean_n to_o this_o planet_n to_o exercise_v her_o rule_n therein_o from_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o lake_n and_o river_n do_v never_o flow_v and_o for_o the_o mediterranean_a sea_n they_o be_v enclose_v about_o with_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o a_o haven_n though_o there_o be_v some_o place_n or_o some_o arm_n of_o the_o same_o sea_n very_o broad_a some_o likewise_o be_v

note_v that_o in_o every_o revolution_n or_o course_n of_o the_o moon_n the_o tide_n rest_v for_o three_o day_n long_o to_o wit_n the_o 7._o 8._o and_o 9_o day_n thereof_o and_o that_o when_o she_o

over_o the_o earth_n and_o over_o all_o live_a creature_n creature_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o moon_n over_o all_o creature_n which_o have_v minister_v occasion_n to_o many_o philosopher_n to_o

it_o be_v likewise_o suppose_a that_o the_o blood_n augment_v or_o diminish_v in_o man_n according_a as_o the_o moon_n increase_v or_o wain_v yea_o that_o herb_n and_o tree_n do_v partake_v of_o her_o power_n aristotle_n also_o do_v note_n that_o those_o creature_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v do_v die_v only_o when_o the_o sea_n eb_v but_o in_o this_o matter_n as_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o do_v concern_v the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o ocean_n we_o must_v ever_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o ordinance_n that_o the_o eternal_a father_n of_o the_o univers_a have_v establish_v in_o

to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o first_o creation_n we_o must_v consider_v of_o they_o as_o if_o they_o envy_v and_o deny_v to_o serve_v man_n any_o more_o which_o turn_v disloyal_a ingrateful_a and_o

we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o wind_n have_v common_o every_o one_o their_o turn_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o when_o one_o opposite_a wind_n cease_v and_o be_v lay_v his_o contrary_n rise_v wind_n
