your_o barrs_n and_o bays_n may_v have_v a_o increase_n of_o sand_n and_o that_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o abatement_n of_o water_n make_v by_o such_o imbankment_n and_o i_o presume_v the_o damage_n these_o imbankment_n will_v do_v to_o barrs_n and_o bays_n be_v far_o more_o considerable_a than_o the_o benefit_n of_o deepn_v your_o indraught_n channel_n because_o good_a entrance_n into_o harbour_n tend_v most_o to_o the_o increase_n and_o preservation_n of_o seaman_n and_o merchandise_n and_o when_o a_o ship_n find_v sufficient_a water_n at_o a_o good_a distance_n from_o the_o sea_n than_o she_o can_v hardly_o want_v till_o she_o come_v to_o the_o bar_n or_o bay._n but_o if_o such_o want_n of_o water_n be_v find_v than_o small_a craft_n may_v navigate_v in_o the_o channel_n i_o believe_v the_o salt_n indraught_n do_v carry_v more_o sand_n from_o barrs_n and_o bays_n than_o land-water_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o land-water_n bear_v but_o a_o small_a proportion_n with_o the_o salt._n and_o second_o because_o the_o tide_n of_o flood_n run_v strong_a and_o the_o sand_n that_o lie_v firm_a and_o close_o during_o the_o ebb_n be_v yet_o by_o the_o flow_a water_n make_v very_o loose_a and_o hollow_a wherefore_o i_o think_v flow_a water_n do_v most_o stir_v the_o sand_n on_o the_o barrs_n and_o in_o the_o bay_n and_o leave_v it_o in_o motion_n to_o pass_v out_o to_o sea_n in_o the_o ebbs._n and_o thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o imbankment_n of_o those_o indraught_n do_v abate_v the_o influx_n and_o efflux_n of_o your_o water_n and_o increase_v your_o sand_n yet_o to_o make_v this_o point_n more_o plain_a i_o pray_v leave_n to_o cite_v the_o four_o follow_a precedent_n first_o that_o many_o year_n since_o a_o river_n call_v the_o rother_n do_v pass_v through_o rumney-marsh_n in_o kent_n and_o near_o its_o issue_v into_o the_o sea_n ancient_o make_v a_o haven_n and_o bay_n but_o the_o sea_n lay_v more_o sand_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o this_o haven_n than_o its_o indraught_n of_o salt_n water_n and_o fresh_a can_v remove_v and_o thereby_o shut_v out_o the_o salt_n water_n and_o keep_v the_o fresh_a in_o it_o cause_v the_o latter_a to_o swell_v back_o in_o its_o own_o channel_n about_o six_o mile_n and_o there_o the_o fresh_a water_n break_v over_o its_o bound_n and_o go_v no_o more_o through_o rumney-marsh_n there_o be_v many_o thousand_o acre_n of_o imbanked_a land_n under_o high-water_n mark_v in_o that_o marsh_n and_o lie_v on_o the_o side_n of_o that_o channel_n and_o haven_n and_o whilst_o un-imbanked_n the_o flow_a water_n must_v drown_v the_o same_o before_o it_o ebb_v in_o the_o haven_n therefore_o before_o imbankment_n those_o land_n be_v a_o large_a indraught_n or_o bason_n to_o that_o haven_n and_o bay._n and_o if_o those_o land_n be_v imbank_v from_o the_o rother_n channel_n and_o haven_n before_o they_o be_v so_o choke_v up_o than_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v those_o imbankment_n choke_v up_o the_o same_o and_o that_o those_o imbankment_n do_v precede_v that_o sand-stop_a seem_v clear_a from_o the_o two_o follow_a cause_n first_o for_o that_o in_o a_o ancient_a map_n of_o rumny-marsh_n the_o haven_n be_v plot_v and_o in_o this_o plot_n be_v these_o word_n the_o old_a decay_a haven_n of_o rumney_n now_o swerve_v up_o and_o the_o wall_n break_v and_o decay_a and_o not_o man_n will_v imbank_v land_n from_o a_o haven_n after_o it_o be_v leave_v both_o by_o salt_n and_o fresh_a water_n i_o can_v direct_v to_o the_o original_a map_n or_o show_v a_o copy_n thereof_o but_o least_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o map_n shall_v be_v question_v i_o will_v second_o offer_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o natural_a tendency_n of_o water_n viz._n that_o the_o low_a end_n of_o that_o channel_n be_v more_o press_v with_o fresh_a water_n after_o that_o stop_n than_o the_o part_n six_o mile_n high_o can_v be_v and_o all_o bound_n of_o that_o channel_n be_v equal_o strong_a if_o the_o land_n be_v not_o imbank_v therefore_o if_o no_o bank_n have_v be_v in_o the_o way_n save_v that_o in_o the_o havens_n month_n than_o the_o fresh_n have_v swell_v out_o at_o the_o low_a end_n of_o their_o channel_n and_o there_o make_v a_o new_a out-fall_a by_o the_o old_a one_o yet_o so_o it_o do_v not_o happen_v but_o the_o sea-barr_n and_o channels-bank_n seem_v to_o force_v this_o water_n back_o till_o it_o find_v a_o low_a or_o weak_a part_n of_o the_o bank._n i_o have_v a_o old_a original_a map_n show_v the_o upper_a end_n of_o the_o rother_n and_o down_o to_o its_o fall_n into_o rumny-marsh_n and_o in_o the_o same_o information_n be_v give_v where_o nine_o head_n of_o several_a river_n rise_v and_o that_o they_o all_o serve_v mill_n or_o iron-works_a and_o after_o fall_v into_o the_o rother_n hereby_o this_o honourable_a house_n may_v see_v that_o much_o land-water_n must_v pass_v through_o that_o channel_n into_o the_o sea_n from_o whence_o with_o the_o vast_a indraught_n this_o haven_n have_v it_o be_v probable_a it_o may_v be_v a_o royal_a port._n yet_o these_o river_n make_v but_o a_o very_a small_a fresh_a water_n in_o summer_n and_o such_o as_o may_v easy_o be_v overcome_v and_o stop_v in_o by_o sand_n in_o summer_n storm_n for_o the_o haven_n must_v be_v very_o much_o too_o wide_a for_o its_o indraught_n after_o rumny-marsh_n be_v imbank_v thus_o much_o on_o this_o first_o precedent_n which_o i_o hope_n be_v well_o prove_v second_o after_o the_o destruction_n of_o rumny_n haven_n the_o river_n rother_n do_v pass_v through_o rye_n harbour_n in_o sussex_n and_o in_o 1623._o the_o then_o commissioner_n of_o sewer_n for_o the_o rother_n do_v make_v a_o dam_n across_o that_o river_n with_o sluice_n therein_o to_o let_v out_o the_o fresh_a water_n and_o keep_v out_o the_o salt_n and_o this_o stop_n lie_v but_o six_o or_o seven_o mile_n from_o the_o sea_n therefore_o the_o same_o do_v damnify_v the_o harbour_n and_o bay_n of_o rye_n as_o well_o by_o abatement_n of_o efflux_n of_o land_n water_n as_o by_o lessen_v the_o sea_n indraught_n and_o these_o sluice_n also_o cause_v so_o much_o sullage_n to_o rest_v without_o they_o that_o several_a thousand_o acre_n of_o land_n within_o be_v thereby_o drown_v with_o fresh_a water_n in_o 1635._o 2000_o acre_n of_o marsh_n lie_v below_o that_o stop_n be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o sea_n and_o use_v as_o a_o indraught_n or_o bason_n to_o scour_v the_o land_n drain_v and_o this_o indraught_n so_o far_o mend_v the_o influx_n and_o efflux_n that_o soon_o after_o a_o ship_n of_o 700_o tun_n do_v ride_v at_o low_a water_n in_o rye_n harbour_n but_o some_o year_n since_o this_o indraught_n and_o some_o green_a salt_n begin_v to_o be_v imbank_v and_o as_o the_o sea_n indraught_n be_v lessen_v by_o many_o imbankment_n the_o harbour_n and_o bay_n do_v decay_v gradual_o and_o visible_o as_o those_o imbankment_n be_v bring_v to_o perfection_n insomuch_o that_o in_o the_o place_n where_o the_o ship_n do_v ride_v at_o low_a water_n there_o the_o sand_n now_o lie_v dry_a till_o half_a flood_n yet_o it_o be_v well_o know_v rye_n be_v the_o best_a tide-harbour_n between_o the_o down_n and_o portsmouth_n into_o which_o good_a ship_n can_v come_v from_o half_a flood_n to_o half_a ebb_n but_o now_o that_o coast_n afford_v no_o shelter_n to_o ship_n of_o burden_n to_o prove_v the_o stop_v make_v in_o 1623._o and_o the_o indraught_n in_o 1635_o with_o their_o consequence_n above_o rye_n harbour_n for_o voucher_n i_o can_v direct_v to_o record_n of_o sewer_n and_o for_o the_o ship_n ride_v in_o rye_n harbour_n with_o the_o after_o abatement_n of_o water_n there_o i_o have_v the_o copy_n of_o a_o certificate_n under_o the_o seal_n of_o that_o corporation_n and_o can_v inform_v where_o the_o original_a may_v be_v see_v i_o believe_v the_o harbour_n and_o bay_n of_o rye_n have_v lose_v three_o part_n in_o four_o of_o their_o indraught_n in_o manner_n as_o before_o therefore_o the_o want_n of_o influx_n and_o efflux_n may_v well_o cause_v sand_n to_o stay_v there_o and_o make_v they_o decay_v more_o visible_o and_o fast_a than_o most_o other_o harbour_n and_o bay_n and_o although_o in_o some_o bay_n the_o mischief_n do_v by_o imbankment_n may_v not_o yet_o be_v perceive_v yet_o the_o same_o leiseurly_a abatement_n of_o water_n there_o may_v have_v a_o ill_a consequence_n on_o this_o kingdom_n by_o oblige_v it_o to_o ship_n that_o draw_v less_o water_n while_o neighbour_a nation_n build_v large_a ship_n of_o war_n and_o so_o much_o on_o this_o second_o precedent_n three_o lest_o the_o service_n myself_o and_o other_o man_n allow_v to_o imbankment_n in_o the_o part_n wherever_o they_o be_v
