to_o invent_v consider_v now_o what_o commodity_n this_o may_v bring_v to_o the_o brabantine_n sail_a from_o antwerp_n to_o brussels_n in_o the_o new_a river_n for_o that_o which_o they_o attempt_v

a_o man_n may_v descend_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o any_o water_n or_o river_n his_o body_n remain_v dry_a as_o here_o before_o i_o have_v affirm_v that_o i_o see_v in_o the_o famous_a town_n and_o

unexpert_a that_o be_v if_o the_o sea_n be_v high_a than_o the_o land_n land_n how_o be_v it_o then_o that_o it_o do_v not_o drown_v and_o cover_v the_o earth_n whereunto_o i_o answer_n that_o the_o dryness_n of_o the_o earth_n may_v so_o long_o resist_v the_o moistness_n of_o the_o water_n until_o it_o receive_v or_o imbibe_n to_o much_o moistness_n which_o may_v thus_o be_v natural_o prove_v fill_v a_o cup_n or_o other_o vessel_n with_o water_n or_o wine_n to_o the_o brim_a experiment_n so_o that_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o may_v seem_v to_o swell_v as_o though_o it_o will_v overflow_v the_o brim_a of_o the_o cup_n then_o may_v you_o yet_o put_v therein_o many_o piece_n of_o gold_n without_o shed_n of_o one_o drop_n of_o water_n but_o if_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o brim_a be_v once_o wet_a immediate_o the_o water_n overflow_v because_o the_o dryness_n of_o the_o vessel_n do_v participate_v the_o moistness_n of_o the_o water_n which_o be_v yet_o better_o prove_v in_o manner_n as_o follow_v take_v a_o certain_a quantity_n of_o water_n and_o sprynckle_v it_o by_o drop_n upon_o a_o dry_a or_o dusty_a cable_n so_o shall_v the_o drop_n partly_o show_v a_o spherical_a and_o swell_a form_n remain_v but_o if_o the_o table_n before_o be_v never_o so_o little_a wet_a with_o water_n the_o drop_n sprinkle_v thereon_o shall_v float_v abroad_o and_o keep_v no_o spherical_a or_o round_a form_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o moistness_n which_o the_o table_n have_v before_o receive_v of_o the_o water_n it_o have_v also_o oftentimes_o chance_v ●●gio●_n that_o certain_a town_n and_o land_n have_v be_v drown_v by_o overflow_a of_o river_n near_o unto_o they_o nevertheless_o how_o much_o so_o ever_o such_o water_n increase_v and_o rise_v there_o be_v no_o danger_n until_o great_a shower_n fall_a from_o heaven_n do_v thorough_o wet_v the_o bank_n ramperte_n or_o calsey_n of_o such_o river_n for_o when_o they_o as_o we_o have_v say_v be_v thorough_o imbibe_v with_o moistness_n they_o cause_v the_o overflow_a and_o breach_n whereof_o follow_v the_o overflow_a and_o drown_v of_o the_o region_n and_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o advertisement_n now_o therefore_o i_o come_v to_o the_o experience_n aforesaid_a show_v at_o toleto_n by_o two_o greek_n who_o take_v a_o chaulderon_n of_o great_a capacity_n bell_n and_o the_o mouth_n turn_v downward_o and_o so_o
