both_o as_o to_o its_o duration_n and_o also_o as_o to_o its_o course_n tide_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o sea_n &_o land-breeze_n in_o respect_n to_o their_o keep_n near_o the_o shore_n though_o indeed_o they_o alternate_o flow_v and_o ebb_v twice_o in_o 24_o hour_n contrary_o the_o sea-breeze_n blow_v on_o the_o shore_n by_o day_n and_o the_o land-wind_n off_o from_o it_o in_o the_o night_n yet_o they_o keep_v this_o course_n as_o due_o in_o a_o manner_n as_o the_o tide_n do_v neither_o be_v the_o tide_n nor_o those_o breeze_n far_o from_o the_o land_n current_n may_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o coast_v trade-wind_n as_o keep_v at_o some_o far_a distance_n from_o the_o shore_n as_o the_o trade-wind_n do_v and_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o be_v much_o influence_v by_o they_o it_o be_v a_o general_a belief_n especial_o among_o seaman_n that_o the_o tide_n be_v govern_v by_o the_o moon_n that_o their_o increase_n and_o decrease_v as_o well_o as_o their_o diurnal_a motion_n be_v influence_v by_o that_o planet_n though_o sometime_o accidental_a cause_n in_o the_o wind_n may_v hinder_v the_o true_a regularity_n thereof_o we_o be_v teach_v as_o the_o first_o rudiment_n of_o navigation_n to_o shift_v our_o tide_n i_o e._n to_o know_v the_o time_n of_o full_a sea_n in_o any_o place_n which_o indeed_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v by_o all_o english_a sailor_n because_o the_o tide_n be_v more_o regular_a in_o our_o channel_n than_o in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o my_o subject_n be_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o tide_n within_o or_o near_o the_o

coast_n as_o be_v least_o supply_v with_o river_n or_o lake_n have_v the_o weak_a tide_n at_o least_o they_o be_v not_o so_o perceptible_a where_o there_o be_v great_a indraught_n either_o of_o river_n or_o lagune_n and_o those_o river_n or_o lagune_n be_v wide_a though_o the_o tide_n run_v very_o strong_a into_o the_o mouth_n of_o such_o river_n or_o lagune_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o flow_v so_o high_a as_o in_o such_o place_n where_o the_o river_n or_o lake_n be_v bound_v in_o a_o narrow_a room_n though_o the_o tide_n do_v run_v of_o a_o equal_a strength_n at_o the_o mouth_n or_o

in_o that_o it_o have_v two_o mouth_n of_o a_o considerable_a bigness_n the_o one_o be_v about_o a_o mile_n and_o half_a wide_a and_o about_o two_o mile_n through_o before_o you_o come_v to_o a_o

and_o about_o 2_o mile_n long_o before_o it_o open_v into_o the_o lagune_n beside_o far_o within_o land_n there_o be_v 3_o or_o 4_o more_o lagune_n less_o than_o the_o former_a the_o tide_n that_o

name_v that_o great_a lagune_n laguna_n termina_fw-la or_o the_o lake_n of_o tide_n because_o the_o tide_n be_v so_o very_o strong_a in_o those_o two_o mouth_n yet_o though_o the_o tide_n do_v run_v so_o swift_a at_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o lagune_n they_o do_v not_o rise_v in_o height_n proportionable_a to_o that_o swiftness_n for_o the_o great_a tide_n here_o do_v not_o rise_v and_o fall_v

between_o the_o 2_o cape_n of_o virginia_n where_o the_o tide_n do_v run_v very_o swift_a yet_o the_o flood_n and_o ebb_n be_v not_o proportionable_a to_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o tide_n between_o the_o cape_n there_o be_v not_o indeed_o such_o lagune_n as_o at_o trist_n in_o the_o bay_n of_o campeachy_n but_o there_o be_v many_o wide_a river_n and_o abundance_n of_o small_a creek_n beside_o
