way_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n be_v only_o enter_v upon_o the_o begin_n of_o any_o year_n he_o count_v the_o same_o inclusive_o with_o the_o other_o year_n of_o his_o age_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o say_a year_n be_v not_o yet_o end_v but_o only_o begin_v have_v not_o we_o reason_n then_o to_o think_v that_o a_o very_a particular_a hide_a meaning_n lie_v wrap_v up_o

that_o by_o the_o man_n cain_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o by_o the_o young_a man_n his_o brother_n abel_n and_o will_v not_o this_o interpretation_n lie_v a_o fair_a ground_n for_o the_o open_n of_o many_o other_o mystery_n in_o a_o due_a and_o right_a order_n as_o among_o other_o thing_n we_o learn_v from_o hence_o that_o both_o the_o brother_n cain_n and_o abel_n do_v from_o the_o time_n of_o their_o conception_n until_o cain_n be_v kill_v inseparable_o continue_v together_o viz._n abel_n in_o cain_n for_o his_o vengeance_n and_o punishment_n but_o that_o after_o cain_n be_v kill_v

here_o the_o young_a son_n of_o zillah_n and_o his_o name_n now_o be_v tubal_n cain_n which_o signify_v the_o world_n of_o cain_n and_o his_o exercise_n and_o labour_n be_v in_o the_o earth_n viz._n

by_o this_o also_o we_o may_v guess_v at_o the_o reason_n how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o a_o certain_a person_n have_v buy_v some_o young_a tree_n of_o another_o who_o assure_v he_o

it_o have_v be_v declare_v before_o that_o the_o water_n and_o quicksand_n do_v generate_v and_o produce_v all_o other_o sort_n of_o sand_n and_o water_n but_o before_o we_o proceed_v further_o it_o will_v not_o be_v improper_a here_o to_o inquire_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v notorious_a that_o in_o pit_n we_o can_v dig_v no_o deep_o than_o till_o we_o come_v to_o the_o quicksand_n and_o that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o inconsiderable_a depth_n compare_v to_o the_o whole_a globe_n of_o the_o earth_n from_o the_o circumference_n to_o its_o centre_n whether_o i_o say_v this_o immense_a bulk_n from_o the_o quicksand_n to_o the_o centre_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o mere_a quicksand_n and_o water_n r._n that_o can_v be_v because_o the_o quicksand_n always_o and_o continual_o give_v forth_o water_n and_o that_o not_o salt_n but_o sweet_a and_o fresh_a in_o all_o place_n yet_o with_o several_a continue_a alteration_n from_o the_o beginning_n until_o it_o have_v transmute_v itself_o in_o every_o little_a grain_n of_o other_o sort_n of_o sand_n which_o have_v its_o own_o essence_n and_o property_n as_o have_v be_v show_v neither_o can_v the_o quicksand_n receive_v or_o take_v in_o water_n from_o without_o as_o will_v be_v make_v plain_a from_o what_o here_o follow_v 1._o in_o fishpond_n that_o be_v dug_n in_o some_o place_n where_o the_o quicksand_n lie_v but_o shallow_a and_o a_o little_a below_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n until_o they_o come_v to_o the_o quicksand_n the_o water_n do_v not_o rise_v to_o above_o half_a a_o foot_n high_a or_o thereabouts_o so_o that_o they_o be_v force_v to_o convey_v rain_n or_o other_o water_n into_o the_o same_o for_o to_o fill_v it_o up_o now_o we_o find_v that_o the_o water_n thus_o add_v and_o convey_v do_v always_o keep_v its_o own_o height_n and_o do_v not_o sink_v into_o the_o quicksand_n as_o it_o do_v into_o other_o moist_a sand_n which_o be_v at_o some_o good_a distance_n above_o the_o quicksand_n for_o such_o sand_n as_o be_v know_v will_n according_a to_o a_o certain_a proportion_n drink_v up_o a_o vast_a quantity_n of_o water_n 2._o some_o digger_n of_o wells_n be_v not_o unacquainted_a with_o this_o who_o oft_o deceive_v people_n that_o have_v bargain_v with_o they_o to_o dig_v a_o well_o unto_o the_o quicksand_n and_o so_o cause_n that_o the_o water_n may_v stand_v three_o or_o four_o foot_n high_a in_o the_o same_o who_o when_o they_o see_v that_o the_o spring_n can_v rise_v so_o high_a they_o private_o fill_v it_o up_o to_o that_o height_n with_o other_o water_n which_o continue_v so_o and_o do_v not_o sink_v into_o the_o sand_n but_o when_o the_o owner_n come_v afterward_o and_o fetch_v water_n from_o thence_o they_o then_o perceive_v they_o have_v be_v deceive_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o water_n still_o decrease_v and_o do_v not_o fill_v up_o again_o which_o the_o undertaker_n have_v promise_v to_o perform_v 3._o forasmuch_o as_o the_o watery_a quicksand_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o whole_a build_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o it_o let_v no_o water_n into_o itself_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o two_o body_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o

corporal_o unite_v itself_o with_o the_o other_o water_n as_o that_o the_o other_o water_n and_o this_o new-added_a water_n shall_v be_v numerical_o one_o and_o the_o same_o water_n without_o all_o increase_n of_o its_o quantity_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v most_o clear_a and_o evident_a see_v the_o quicksand_n have_v continual_o from_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o world_n give_v forth_o water_n from_o itself_o and_o that_o it_o can_v do_v no_o other_o as_o have_v be_v create_v for_o this_o end_n and_o that_o the_o circumference_n of_o this_o water_n be_v not_o lessen_v nor_o its_o quantity_n diminish_v therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o what_o the_o quicksand_n give_v out_o must_v be_v make_v good_a and_o restore_v to_o it_o again_o from_o within_o as_o the_o follow_a query_n with_o its_o answer_n will_v more_o full_o demonstrate_v 6_o q._n see_v then_o that_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o quicksand_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o it_o shall_v subsist_v or_o how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o since_o it_o continual_o give_v out_o water_n and_o yet_o can_v take_v in_o no_o water_n external_o from_o above_o but_o that_o thus_o at_o

the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n for_o that_o they_o as_o spiritual_a being_n be_v only_o able_a to_o penetrate_v the_o water_n and_o sand_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n can_v make_v no_o water_n in_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o continual_o do_v bring_v forth_o water_n both_z below_z as_o well_o as_o above_o we_o must_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a space_n and_o place_n of_o abode_n for_o the_o air_n in_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o which_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n do_v perform_v their_o operation_n and_o where_o
