A29938	The mutations of the seas: or, A manifest reason given for all the mutations observed in the seas And this by ways so natural, plain, and easie, that every man may understand the manner, and must conclude it to be so.

our_o moon_n about_o our_o globe_n etc._n etc._n but_o further_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o by_o the_o force_n of_o attraction_n all_o those_o mundan_n body_n not_o only_o keep_v their_o first_o design_v distance_n by_o have_v a_o dependency_n upon_o each_o other_o but_o describe_v their_o several_a circle_n and_o then_o man_n need_v not_o vex_v themselves_o with_o think_v what_o matter_n the_o planet_n orb_n consist_v off_o for_o they_o may_v safe_o take_v their_o determinate_a course_n through_o the_o fluid_a air_n without_o any_o danger_n of_o lose_v their_o way_n or_o interfear_v on_o with_o another_o and_o too_o beside_o much_o labour_n may_v otherwise_o be_v save_v but_o enough_o and_o perhaps_o to_o much_o of_o this_o the_o earth_n then_o be_v a_o magnetic_a globe_n or_o loadstone_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o same_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o the_o loadstone_n be_v and_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v much_o more_o powerful_a in_o the_o earth_n now_o among_o many_o other_o virtue_n true_o admirable_a in_o the_o magnet_n these_o follow_a be_v well_o know_v to_o be_v peculiar_a to_o it_o first_o that_o every_o minute_n particle_n of_o a_o loadstone_n will_v constant_o look_v with_o its_o determinate_a part_n towards_o the_o same_o and_o determinate_a part_n of_o the_o universe_n second_o that_o theforce_o of_o the_o magnet_n be_v send_v by_o infinite_a right_a line_n through_o the_o stone_n the_o principle_n virtue_n reside_v in_o the_o middle_n the_o more_o remote_a from_o the_o centre_n the_o more_o faint_a and_o weak_a the_o virtue_n three_o that_o the_o great_a stone_n draw_v more_o forcible_o than_o the_o less_o the_o compass_n of_o its_o virtue_n or_o of_o its_o activity_n be_v great_a let_v these_o faculty_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v as_o they_o certain_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n it_o will_v then_o be_v requisite_a to_o fix_v those_o line_n and_o point_n of_o attraction_n now_o i_o know_v that_o a_o loadstone_n or_o piece_n of_o iron_n touch_v with_o a_o stone_n librate_v with_o a_o thread_n or_o any_o other_o way_n so_o that_o it_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n to_o move_v will_v present_o direct_v itself_o and_o point_n north_n and_o south_n but_o the_o stone_n in_o this_o way_n respect_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o universe_n for_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o needle_n vary_v direction_n in_o the_o same_o place_n as_o here_o at_o london_n sometime_o easterly_a sometime_o westerly_a in_o a_o certain_a period_n of_o time_n and_o this_o can_v be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o i_o think_v none_o have_v be_v so_o curious_a as_o strict_o to_o examen_fw-la whether_o or_o no_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o stone_n have_v their_o position_n north_n and_o south_n in_o the_o mine_n so_o that_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v their_o east_n and_o west_n for_o the_o earth_n be_v at_o liberty_n to_o move_v in_o the_o yield_a air_n and_o its_o pole_n of_o equal_a force_n as_o the_o pole_n of_o no_o piece_n of_o stone_n be_v and_o be_v with_o equal_a force_n draw_v by_o either_o of_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o universe_n it_o may_v be_v direct_v its_o self_n to_o neither_o of_o they_o but_o to_o a_o point_n equal_o distant_a between_o they_o that_o be_v east_n and_o west_n as_o we_o see_v that_o two_o lodestone_n place_v at_o a_o convenient_a distance_n north_n and_o south_n from_o a_o needle_n shall_v draw_v that_o needle_n that_o before_o will_v willing_o always_o point_n north_n and_o south_n to_o point_n now_o east_n and_o west_n and_o be_v the_o same_o as_o if_o those_o lodestone_n be_v in_o those_o point_n more_o may_v be_v say_v to_o countenance_v this_o and_o perhaps_o you_o will_v think_v much_o more_o against_o it_o let_v it_o be_v so_o for_o i_o can_v as_o willing_o as_o any_o man_n for_o reason_n that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v not_o be_v think_v off_o by_o many_o let_v the_o pole_n keep_v the_o place_n always_o assign_v they_o but_o when_o you_o shall_v know_v upon_o what_o ground_n i_o have_v be_v persuade_v to_o think_v that_o the_o earth_n have_v east_n and_o west_n point_v of_o attraction_n you_o will_v find_v that_o i_o have_v reason_n for_o it_o nay_o you_o will_v think_v that_o it_o must_v be_v so_o and_o then_o you_o may_v take_v your_o liberty_n to_o judge_v whether_o it_o may_v with_o more_o reason_n be_v think_v that_o the_o position_n of_o the_o pole_n in_o the_o terrestrial_a lobe_n be_v indeed_o east_n and_o west_n or_o let_v the_o pole_n be_v north_n and_o south_n the_o earth_n may_v yet_o be_v endue_v with_o some_o suchlike_a magnetic_a attractive_a virtue_n in_o certain_a and_o determinate_a east_n and_o west_n point_n if_o it_o may_v be_v think_v to_o have_v any_o attractive_a force_n in_o fix_a east_n and_o west_n point_v it_o will_v serve_v i_o then_o without_o more_o ado_n i_o will_v now_o suppose_v that_o infinite_a right_a line_n of_o attraction_n like_o as_o in_o the_o magnet_n run_v through_o the_o earth_n from_o east_n to_o west_n as_o in_o the_o figure_n after_o what_o manner_n the_o earth_n be_v move_v so_o as_o to_o make_v two_o tide_n upon_o all_o shore_n in_o 24_o hour_n where_o let_v a._n b._n c._n d._n be_v the_o terestrial_a globe_n a._n c._n the_o the_o meridian_n b._n d._n the_o horizontal_a line_n e._n f._n the_o orb_n of_o the_o moon_n g._n h._n

you_o shall_v now_o attempt_v to_o give_v the_o globe_n motion_n by_o pluck_v at_o any_o of_o these_o line_n and_o keep_v your_o hand_n to_o the_o same_o point_n in_o the_o moon_n orb_n it_o will_v be_v in_o vain_a for_o you_o shall_v not_o give_v it_o motion_n from_o east_n to_o west_n or_o the_o contrary_n but_o if_o pluck_v by_o the_o line_n e._n you_o shall_v hold_v your_o hand_n as_o high_a as_o g._n in_o the_o orb_n of_o the_o moon_n you_o will_v easy_o give_v it_o a_o little_a motion_n from_o east_n to_o west_n and_o if_o you_o shall_v yet_o carry_v your_o hand_n high_o to_o h_n and_o i_o pluck_v yet_o by_o the_o line_n e_o you_o shall_v in_o use_v but_o the_o same_o or_o less_o strength_n give_v the_o globe_n a_o great_a motion_n at_o h_n then_o at_o g._n and_o i._n then_o at_o h._n so_o the_o moon_n in_o the_o horizon_n can_v give_v the_o earth_n motion_n but_o as_o she_o rise_v above_o it_o she_o successive_o every_o moment_n draw_v by_o line_n more_o upright_o i_o know_v not_o what_o other_o name_n to_o give_v they_o from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o point_n of_o attraction_n or_o from_o all_o those_o line_n or_o point_n that_o from_o all_o part_n of_o the_o eastern_a hemisphere_n of_o the_o terrestrlal_n globe_n dart_n out_o ray_n of_o attraction_n but_o now_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n the_o moon_n shall_v give_v the_o earth_n a_o great_a motion_n at_o k_o then_o at_o ay_o and_o great_a yet_o at_o l_o then_o at_o k._n but_o nature_n have_v wise_o provide_v for_o this_o by_o bend_v as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o moon_n force_v against_o herself_o for_o the_o moon_n by_o infinite_a beam_n or_o ray_n of_o attraction_n have_v influence_n upon_o that_o whole_a hemisphere_n of_o the_o terrestrial_a globe_n that_o respect_v the_o moon_n in_o her_o diurnal_a motion_n so_o that_o the_o moon_n no_o soon_o leave_v the_o horizon_n but_o she_o begin_v to_o have_v influence_n upon_o the_o western_a side_n of_o the_o globe_n and_o though_o the_o beam_n of_o attraction_n near_o the_o meridian_n be_v but_o weak_a and_o the_o moon_n at_o a_o great_a distance_n glance_n at_o they_o but_o oqlique_o yet_o that_o litale_fw-it impediment_n be_v enough_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v but_o a_o little_a above_o the_o horizon_n where_o she_o can_v not_o if_o this_o obstruction_n be_v not_o give_v the_o earth_n but_o very_o little_a motion_n to_o keep_v this_o motion_n from_o be_v either_o sudden_a or_o great_a and_o that_o now_o and_o at_o all_o time_n it_o may_v be_v most_o easy_a constant_a and_o regular_a for_o as_o the_o moon_n in_o rise_v above_o the_o horizon_n have_v every_o moment_n great_a advantage_n of_o give_v the_o earth_n motion_n so_o the_o influence_n she_o have_v upon_o the_o contrary_a side_n of_o the_o globe_n be_v every_o

if_o you_o shall_v bid_v one_o to_o move_v the_o water_n in_o all_o those_o vessel_n at_o the_o same_o time_n with_o a_o constant_a regular_a motion_n you_o will_v think_v he_o no_o wise_a man_n if_o

in_o the_o loadstone_n which_o be_v apart_o of_o the_o true_a primary_n and_o integral_a substance_n of_o the_o earth_n now_o since_o there_o have_v always_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a affinity_n between_o the_o moon_n and_o earth_n and_o likeness_n of_o part_n i_o think_v the_o moon_n may_v reasonable_o enough_o be_v conclude_v to_o be_v so_o too_o and_o then_o these_o two_o great_a magnate_n hang_v in_o the_o thin_a air_n must_v easy_o admit_v of_o motion_n so_o that_o i_o can_v see_v where_o the_o difficulty_n shall_v be_v or_o what_o shall_v hinder_v but_o that_o the_o moon_n may_v give_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n the_o moon_n if_o the_o moon_n may_v be_v think_v to_o have_v need_n of_o it_o motion_n if_o you_o shall_v think_v the_o distance_n too_o

distance_n may_v be_v think_v great_a enough_o to_o give_v bound_n to_o the_o attractive_a virtue_n of_o loadstone_n so_o immens_o great_a as_o the_o terestrial_a globe_n and_o moon_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o that_o the_o moon_n may_v consist_v of_o such_o part_n that_o the_o appetite_n and_o desire_n of_o union_n may_v be_v much_o great_a between_o the_o earth_n and_o moon_n then_o between_o the_o loadstone_n and_o iron_n nay_o who_o can_v tell_v but_o that_o the_o more_o in_o ten_o part_n of_o this_o our_o globe_n may_v be_v endue_v with_o a_o much_o more_o

though_o perhaps_o the_o excellent_a use_n that_o be_v make_v of_o the_o loadstone_n in_o navigation_n may_v seem_v to_o some_o man_n sufficient_o to_o answer_v the_o end_n of_o its_o creation_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o world_n be_v grow_v old_a before_o the_o use_n of_o it_o be_v know_v so_o that_o nature_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v endue_v the_o magnet_n with_o those_o admirable_a virtue_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n till_o within_o a_o few_o year_n last_o pass_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o i_o think_v there_o be_v little_o use_v make_v of_o it_o before_o but_o now_o if_o you_o shall_v look_v upon_o the_o terrestrial_a globe_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o superior_a body_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o earth_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o great_a magnate_n or_o loadstone_n you_o can_v think_v but_o that_o wise_a nature_n lodge_v these_o wonderful_a virtue_n in_o they_o for_o far_o more_o wonderful_a use_n and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v unreasonable_a to_o think_v that_o those_o virtue_n have_v not_o be_v keep_v in_o exercise_n ever_o since_o the_o creation_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o trouble_v

if_o you_o consider_v the_o many_o benefit_n that_o we_o enjoy_v which_o we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n want_v by_o the_o daily_a tide_n you_o must_v confess_v it_o to_o be_v a_o very_a wonderful_a
