subterraneal_a passage_n of_o water_n as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o opinion_n we_o can_v embrace_v it_o because_o of_o these_o reason_n 1._o it_o be_v most_o improbable_a that_o there_o be_v

use_n of_o this_o argument_n not_o only_o in_o relation_n to_o such_o spring_n as_o proceed_v from_o the_o top_n of_o high_a mountain_n but_o also_o in_o relation_n to_o some_o which_o be_v in_o low_a

in_o the_o cavern_n of_o the_o same_o mountain_n these_o cavern_n be_v of_o necessity_n below_o the_o cavern_n from_o which_o the_o water_n issue_v it_o seem_v impossible_a that_o the_o water_n can_v natural_o ascend_v from_o the_o low_a unto_o the_o high_a part_n of_o these_o cavern_n which_o be_v at_o the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n because_o water_n do_v natural_o ascend_v no_o further_o

above_o the_o place_n out_o of_o of_o which_o it_o issue_v the_o second_o opinion_n be_v no_o less_o improbable_a because_o it_o be_v incredible_a that_o the_o rain-water_n which_o do_v at_o sometime_o only_o fall_v upon_o mountain_n and_o valley_n can_v be_v the_o only_a water_n which_o do_v perpetual_o scaturiat_a in_o all_o fountain_n and_o that_o as_o abundant_o from_o some_o after_o a_o long_a summer_n drought_n as_o after_o the_o great_a abundance_n of_o brumal_a shower_n we_o will_v here_o likewise_o admit_v that_o there_o be_v many_o spring_n issue_v from_o mountain_n which_o be_v furnish_v with_o no_o other_o water_n than_o the_o bottle_n of_o the_o cloud_n do_v afford_v unto_o some_o valley_n who_o superfice_n be_v further_o from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n than_o the_o foresay_a spring_n who_o water_n be_v perpetual_o increase_v by_o rain_n and_o diminish_v total_o sometime_o by_o drought_n but_o these_o be_v not_o the_o spring_n concern_v the_o
