the_o bishop_n of_o vtrecht_n be_v build_v the_o church_n as_o they_o dig_v to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o pillar_n they_o come_v to_o a_o quicksand_n that_o swallow_v up_o every_o thing_n

for_o nothing_o but_o far_o the_o oil_n must_v have_v be_v of_o some_o depth_n to_o incorporate_v so_o great_a a_o quantity_n of_o earth_n now_o the_o theory_n do_v not_o tell_v where_o so_o great_a a_o quantity_n of_o earth_n do_v stop_v in_o the_o oil_n whether_o near_o the_o surface_n in_o the_o middle_n or_o near_o the_o bottom_n if_o they_o settle_v to_o the_o confine_n of_o the_o oil_n and_o water_n the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n even_o under_o the_o torrid_a zone_n can_v not_o reach_v so_o far_o as_o to_o bake_v it_o into_o a_o hard_a crust_n except_o he_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v be_v far_o more_o vigorous_a in_o his_o action_n in_o his_o own_o and_o the_o world_n infancy_n than_o he_o be_v how_o in_o his_o old_a decline_a age_n for_o at_o sea_n within_o the_o tropic_n we_o

convenient_a therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n to_o suppose_v this_o form_n of_o the_o crust_n on_o or_o near_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o oil_n but_o by_o this_o mean_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o oil_n under_o that_o never_o incorporate_v with_o the_o earth_n or_o be_v never_o bake_v so_o that_o when_o the_o eggshell_n break_v the_o sea_n will_v
