cedar_n and_o fir_n but_o the_o land_n of_o it_o lie_v no_o high_a than_o that_o on_o the_o bank_n of_o the_o river_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v all_o level_n even_o as_o far_o as_o the_o two_o great_a

of_o the_o isle_n where_o the_o great_a fall_n of_o all_o be_v after_o then_o these_o two_o torrent_n have_v thus_o run_v by_o the_o two_o side_n of_o the_o isle_n they_o cast_v their_o water_n all_o of_o a_o sudden_a down_o into_o the_o gulf_n by_o two_o great_a fall_n which_o water_n be_v push_v so_o violent_o on_o by_o their_o own_o weight_n and_o so_o sustain_v by_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o motion_n that_o they_o do_v wet_v the_o rock_n in_o the_o least_o and_o here_o it_o be_v that_o they_o tumble_v down_o into_o a_o abyss_n above_o 600_o foot_n in_o depth_n the_o water_n that_o flow_v on_o the_o side_n of_o the_o east_n do_v not_o throw_v themselves_o with_o that_o violence_n as_o those_o that_o fall_v on_o the_o west_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o rock_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o island_n rise_v something_o more_o on_o this_o side_n than_o it_o do_v on_o the_o west_n and_o so_o the_o water_n be_v support_v by_o it_o somewhat_o long_o than_o they_o be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v carry_v the_o smooth_a off_o but_o on_o the_o west_n the_o rock_n slope_v more_o the_o water_n for_o want_v of_o a_o support_n become_v the_o soon_o break_v and_o fall_v with_o the_o great_a precipitation_n another_o reason_n be_v the_o land_n that_o lie_v on_o the_o west_n be_v low_a than_o those_o that_o lie_v on_o the_o east_n we_o also_o observe_v that_o the_o water_n of_o the_o fall_n that_o be_v to_o the_o west_n make_v a_o sort_n of_o a_o square_a figure_n as_o they_o fall_v which_o make_v a_o three_o cascade_n less_o than_o the_o other_o two_o which_o fall_v betwixt_o the_o south_n and_o north._n and_o because_o there_o be_v a_o rise_a ground_n which_o lie_v before_o those_o two_o cascade_n to_o the_o north_n the_o gulf_n be_v much_o large_a there_o than_o to_o the_o east_n moreover_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o from_o the_o rise_a ground_n that_o lie_v over_o against_o the_o two_o last_o fall_n which_o be_v on_o the_o west_n of_o the_o
