for_o since_o that_o time_n the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v never_o change_v or_o alter_v here_o i_o will_v make_v a_o diligent_a search_n and_o inquisition_n for_o fountain_n and_o spring_n

that_o from_o the_o beginning_n there_o have_v be_v always_o the_o same_o fall_n and_o descent_n of_o water_n then_o let_v we_o conceive_v what_o surrowe_n and_o gutter_n the_o fall_n of_o water_n
