whereunto_o in_o the_o heat_n of_o summer_n man_n be_v great_o subject_a for_o that_o come_n into_o the_o cold_a water_n it_o make_v a_o sudden_a change_n in_o body_n which_o be_v very_o dangerous_a but_o rather_o by_o walk_v easy_o in_o some_o cool_a shade_n or_o some_o such_o other_o moderate_a mean_n let_v he_o before_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o water_n bring_v his_o body_n into_o a_o reasonable_a temperature_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_a and_o then_o not_o as_o some_o which_o be_v more_o bold_a than_o wise_a rude_o leap_v into_o the_o water_n with_o their_o foot_n downwarde_a as_o this_o picture_n next_z following_z show_v or_o when_o he_o come_v at_o the_o side_n fall_v in_o upon_o his_o right_n or_o left_a side_n after_o this_o fashion_n or_o else_o leap_v from_o the_o bank_n and_o cast_v forth_o his_o leg_n but_o yet_o keep_v of_o they_o close_o together_o he_o may_v light_v upon_o his_o hip_n and_o the_o hinder_a part_n of_o his_o leg_n as_o you_o see_v in_o this_o picture_n to_o swim_v on_o the_o back_n but_o for_o that_o with_o long_o swim_v on_o his_o belly_n he_o will_v be_v weary_v nature_n that_o provident_a nurse_n which_o careful_o provide_v for_o every_o creature_n thing_n fit_v their_o kind_n have_v as_o in_o all_o thing_n so_o in_o this_o thing_n make_v man_n excel_v every_o thing_n for_o he_o have_v the_o teach_v in_o this_o to_o ease_v his_o weary_a arm_n by_o lie_v in_o the_o water_n upon_o his_o back_n which_o we_o call_v swim_v upon_o the_o back_n a_o gift_n which_o she_o have_v deny_v even_o to_o the_o watery_a inhabitant_n of_o the_o sea_n no_o fish_n no_o foul_a nor_o other_o creature_n whatsoever_o that_o have_v any_o lyve_n or_o be_v either_o in_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o sea_n or_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n swim_v upon_o his_o back_n man_n only_o except_v and_o therefore_o when_o he_o have_v perfect_o learn_v to_o swim_v to_o and_o fro_o on_o his_o belly_n as_o he_o lift_v let_v he_o learn_v thus_o to_o turn_v upon_o his_o back_n by_o thrust_v out_o his_o right_a hand_n as_o far_o as_o he_o can_v before_o he_o and_o withal_o turn_v over_o his_o left_a side_n and_o still_o keep_v out_o his_o right_a hand_n until_o he_o be_v turn_v upon_o his_o back_n for_o that_o it_o do_v in_o turn_v so_o support_v he_o from_o sink_v as_o in_o this_o example_n follow_v and_o when_o he_o be_v thus_o lay_v upon_o his_o back_n he_o must_v lie_v very_o straight_o not_o bend_v or_o bow_v with_o his_o body_n any_o way_n save_v only_o his_o leg_n which_o he_o must_v easy_o pull_v out_o and_o in_o as_o when_o he_o be_v on_o his_o belly_n to_o put_v he_o forward_o in_o the_o water_n as_o thus_o to_o turn_v in_o the_o water_n like_o a_o roach_n there_o be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o turn_v when_o a_o man_n be_v swim_v upon_o his_o belly_n with_o his_o head_n one_o way_n sudden_o to_o turn_v himself_o still_o be_v upon_o his_o belly_n &_o bring_v about_o his_o head_n and_o all_o his_o body_n the_o other_o way_n and_o for_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v quick_o as_o oft_o time_n you_o may_v see_v the_o fish_n within_o the_o water_n when_o in_o the_o pleasant_a heat_n of_o summer_n they_o wanton_o frisk_v to_o and_o fro_o it_o be_v common_o call_v the_o koach_n turn_v and_o that_o be_v do_v thus_o if_o he_o will_v turn_v towards_o the_o right_a hand_n he_o must_v sudden_o put_v the_o water_n from_o he_o with_o his_o left_a hand_n and_o pull_v that_o water_n behind_o towards_o he_o with_o his_o right_a hand_n turn_v back_o his_o head_n and_o his_o body_n as_o you_o see_v in_o this_o next_o figure_n to_o turn_v the_o bell_n turn_v in_o the_o water_n there_o be_v also_o a_o turn_n which_o be_v call_v the_o bell_n turn_v as_o when_o one_o swim_v one_o his_o belly_n shall_v sudden_o pull_v

will_v turn_v he_o upon_o his_o back_n and_o because_o he_o may_v at_o his_o pleasure_n turn_v so_o upon_o his_o back_n and_o belly_n as_o he_o will_v it_o be_v call_v the_o bell_n turn_v resemble_v also_o a_o bell_n when_o it_o be_v ring_v as_o for_o example_n to_o tumble_v in_o the_o water_n there_o be_v also_o a_o kind_n of_o tumble_v in_o the_o water_n as_o a_o man_n will_v roll_n and_o

he_o must_v thrust_v that_o hand_n broad-waye_n down_o into_o the_o water_n with_o the_o palm_n downward_o and_o he_o must_v carry_v the_o other_o close_o beside_o he_o as_o ready_a to_o use_v so_o upon_o the_o other_o side_n and_o with_o the_o uppermost_a leg_n still_o as_o he_o turn_v strike_v the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n so_o that_o the_o motion_n with_o the_o hand_n help_v to_o

strike_v the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n to_o strike_v the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n with_o four_o part_n of_o the_o body_n at_o twice_o be_v thus_o do_v by_o lie_v upon_o your_o

he_o from_o sink_v and_o so_o may_v he_o lift_v his_o right_a hand_n and_o right_a leg_n out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o beat_v they_o down_o again_o and_o so_o of_o the_o left_a side_n as_o the_o picture_z following_z show_v to_o swim_v with_o hand_n and_o foot_n upward_o to_o swim_v with_o hand_n and_o foot_n upward_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o swim_n upon_o the_o back_n as_o we_o

as_o in_o this_o example_n to_o swim_v backward_o that_o be_v when_o one_o lie_v upon_o his_o back_n with_o his_o body_n stretch_v forth_o and_o hold_v up_o his_o breast_n as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v that_o his_o back_n may_v lie_v hollow_a which_o will_v keep_v he_o from_o sink_v and_o lift_v easy_o one_o foot_n after_o another_o above_o the_o water_n and_o so_o draw_v they_o forcible_o towards_o he_o under_o the_o water_n they_o will_v pull_v his_o body_n backward_o as_o in_o this_o example_n be_v show_v to_o roll_n upon_o one_o back_n this_o be_v do_v only_o by_o lie_v straight_o upon_o

and_o make_v his_o head_n lie_v in_o the_o midst_n like_o the_o centre_n of_o a_o circle_n as_o thus_o to_o stand_v upright_o and_o turn_v about_o in_o the_o water_n he_o must_v by_o stir_v of_o his_o foot_n up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o water_n keep_v up_o his_o body_n and_o keep_v his_o hand_n underneath_o the_o water_n pull_v the_o water_n towards_o he_o that_o way_n which_o he_o will_v turn_v and_o so_o also_o incline_v the_o motion_n of_o his_o foot_n as_o thus_o to_o swim_v with_o his_o hand_n together_o this_o must_v be_v do_v in_o all_o respect_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o for_o the_o first_o kind_n of_o swim_v upon_o the_o belly_n save_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n which_o must_v be_v join_v with_o their_o palm_n together_o the_o thomb_n stand_v right_o upward_o which_o he_o must_v pull_v in_o to_o his_o breast_n and_o thrust_v they_o forth_o again_o without_o part_v of_o they_o as_o for_o example_n to_o swim_v upon_o his_o side_n this_o kind_n of_o swim_v though_o

it_o be_v more_o laborious_a yet_o be_v it_o swift_a than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n for_o that_o lie_v upon_o one_o side_n strike_v with_o your_o foot_n as_o when_o you_o swim_v on_o your_o belly_n but_o that_o the_o pull_n in_o and_o thrust_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n which_o then_o do_v only_o keep_v he_o up_o do_v now_o help_v to_o put_v he_o forward_o for_o only_o the_o low_a hand_n support_v his_o body_n and_o the_o upper_a hand_n row_v like_o a_o dare_v as_o in_o this_o example_n to_o swim_v upon_o his_o belly_n with_o his_o hand_n still_o this_o be_v only_o to_o lay_v his_o hand_n behind_o he_o and_o strain_v himself_o to_o bear_v his_o head_n somewhat_o high_o and_o strike_v somewhat_o low_o with_o his_o foot_n as_o in_o the_o picture_n follow_v be_v show_v to_o swim_v with_o one_o hand_n and_o one_o foot_n upon_o his_o belly_n he_o must_v take_v his_o right_a foot_n backward_o in_o his_o left_a hand_n and_o strike_v with_o his_o right_a hand_n and_o left_a foot_n which_o for_o that_o one_o be_v upon_o the_o one_o side_n and_o the_o other_o on_o the_o other_o they_o will_v easy_o bear_v he_o up_o as_o thus_o the_o use_n of_o these_o two_o last_o kind_n of_o swim_v be_v to_o ease_v his_o hand_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o cramp_n or_o any_o other_o infirmity_n to_o swim_v like_o a_o dog_n into_o this_o kind_n of_o swim_v many_o doe_n at_o the_o first_o fall_n before_o they_o perfect_o learn_v the_o right_a stroke_n and_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o that_o whereas_o in_o the_o right_a kind_n he_o stretth_v out_o his_o hand_n &_o his_o foot_n in_o this_o he_o rude_o beat_v the_o water_n with_o his_o hand_n and_o foot_n first_o lift_v his_o right_a hand_n out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o then_o his_o right_a foot_n and_o forcible_o

the_o palm_n of_o his_o hand_n be_v downward_o and_o move_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o water_n to_o keep_v he_o up_o so_o may_v he_o lift_v out_o either_o one_o or_o other_o of_o his_o leg_n and_o beat_v with_o it_o upon_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n at_o his_o pleasure_n as_o thus_o to_o play_v above_o the_o water_n with_o one_o foot_n this_o be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o next_o precedent_n save_v that_o in_o stead_n of_o strike_v his_o leg_n right_o down_o into_o the_o water_n he_o must_v turn_v it_o about_o three_o or_o four_o time_n only_o but_o touch_v the_o very_a superficies_n of_o the_o water_n with_o his_o toe_n as_o in_o this_o example_n to_o show_v his_o toe_n above_o the_o water_n this_o be_v also_o do_v by_o lie_v straight_o upon_o his_o back_n stretch_v out_o his_o foot_n together_o at_o length_n and_o move_v with_o his_o hand_n in_o the_o water_n as_o in_o the_o former_a example_n and_o so_o lift_v up_o his_o foot_n ti●l_v he_o have_v bring_v all_o

his_o body_n and_o then_o draw_v his_o foot_n somewhat_o upward_o his_o hand_n hold_v behind_o his_o back_n and_o his_o body_n bend_v also_o that_o way_n like_v unto_o a_o bow_n so_o that_o the_o

as_o thus_o to_o tread_v the_o water_n this_o be_v only_o stand_v bolt_n up_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o water_n and_o pull_v up_o your_o foot_n and_o thrust_v they_o down_o again_o after_o the_o

you_o may_v see_v in_o this_o picture_n next_o follow_v to_o swim_v with_o one_o hand_n and_o one_o foot_n upon_o his_o back_n this_o be_v the_o same_o upon_o the_o back_n which_o the_o other_o be_v

where_o he_o way_n stand_v upon_o the_o ground_n with_o as_o much_o force_n as_o he_o can_v leap_v up_o and_o bend_v his_o head_n towards_o his_o breast_n fall_v forward_o down_o into_o the_o water_n as_o thus_o his_o hand_n he_o must_v hold_v before_o his_o head_n with_o their_o back_n together_o that_o they_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o pull_v he_o as_o it_o be_v force_v he_o down_o under_o the_o

move_v they_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o he_o do_v swim_v above_o the_o water_n upon_o his_o belly_n after_o this_o example_n to_o swim_v under_o the_o water_n when_o he_o have_v thus_o bury_v

with_o his_o foot_n as_o swim_v upon_o his_o belly_n but_o somewhat_o upward_o that_o they_o may_v the_o easily_o keep_v he_o down_o as_o in_o this_o example_n to_o rise_v from_o the_o bottom_n that_o

draw_v down_o the_o water_n which_o be_v above_o he_o and_o then_o strike_v downward_o with_o his_o foot_n it_o will_v easy_o bring_v he_o up_o as_o thus_o to_o seek_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v lose_v in_o the_o water_n he_o must_v swim_v under_o the_o water_n as_o afore_o but_o as_o near_o the_o bottom_n as_o he_o can_v so_o that_o he_o touch_v it_o not_o lest_o he_o raise_v any_o mud_n to_o

as_o think_v himself_o near_o the_o thing_n he_o seek_v if_o he_o will_v turn_v towards_o the_o left_a hand_n he_o must_v with_o his_o right_a hand_n pull_v towards_o he_o the_o water_n which_o be_v
