and_o furthermore_o if_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v make_v salt_n only_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sun_n than_o those_o sea_n must_v needs_o become_v fresh_a by_o another_o great_a

be_v not_o make_v salt_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sun_n for_o that_o the_o head_n of_o the_o great_a ryver_n nilus_n that_o come_v from_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o moon_n &_o have_v latitude_n
