A32843	Britannia Baconica: or, The natural rarities of England, Scotland, & Wales. According as they are to be found in every shire. Historically related, according to the precepts of the Lord Bacon; methodically digested; and the causes of may of them philosophically attempted. With observations upon them, and deductions from them, whereby divers secrets in nature are discovered, and some things hitherto reckoned prodigies, are fain to confess the cause whence they proceed. Usefull for all ingenious men of what profession of quality soever. / By J. Childrey.	Childrey, J. (Joshua), 1623-1670.	1662 (1662)	Wing C3870; ESTC R20076	95,453	214

rippling_n now_o the_o two_o flood_n as_o i_o say_v meet_v here_o must_v needs_o hinder_v the_o course_n of_o each_o other_o and_o by_o consequence_n make_v the_o sea_n swell_v much_o in_o this_o

motion_n of_o the_o earth_n from_o west_n to_o east_n whibh_v carry_v the_o bank_n of_o the_o thames_n along_o towards_o the_o place_n where_o the_o mouth_n of_o it_o be_v but_o now_o must_v needs_o as_o it_o be_v draw_v the_o water_n into_o it_o by_o leave_v it_o behind_o and_o peradventure_o upon_o enquiry_n it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o the_o flood_n run_v more_o strong_o for_o this_o reason_n up_o into_o those_o river_n that_o discharge_v themselves_o into_o the_o sea_n on_o the_o east_n side_n of_o a_o great_a island_n or_o continent_n than_o those_o on_o the_o west_n side_n
