the_o pipe_n it_o may_v be_v demand_v then_o why_o be_v not_o all_o river_n salt_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o most_o of_o they_o have_v their_o water_n stop_v and_o percolate_v and_o so_o leave_v their_o saltness_n behind_o but_o as_o for_o those_o that_o have_v no_o hindrance_n they_o be_v not_o only_a salt_n but_o do_v constant_o ebb_v and_o flow_v as_o have_v be_v exemplify_v already_o

where_o mighty_a flood_n come_v with_o violence_n as_o these_o must_v of_o necessity_n do_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o vast_a quantity_n the_o mighty_a compression_n and_o the_o unspeakable_a weight_n of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o ocean_n they_o will_v easy_o carry_v with_o they_o light_n and_o with_o no_o great_a difficulty_n ponderous_a body_n this_o need_v not_o and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o

if_o they_o return_v at_o all_o the_o same_o way_n be_v bring_v forth_o again_o because_o there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o compression_n and_o therefore_o the_o return_n of_o the_o water_n be_v
