transitory_a thing_n we_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o sea_n and_o say_v first_o what_o it_o be_v and_o why_o it_o be_v call_v ocean_n the_o sea_n be_v all_o the_o vast_a extent_n of_o water_n which_o

writ_n of_o moses_n in_o his_o generation_n or_o offspring_n of_o this_o world_n the_o water_n do_v engender_v and_o maintain_v itself_o in_o the_o sea_n the_o river_n come_v from_o it_o and_o return_v unto_o it_o the_o egyptian_n have_v suppose_v four_o element_n of_o each_o one_o whereof_o they_o make_v two_o the_o one_o male_a and_o the_o other_o female_a they_o believe_v that_o the_o air_n which_o engender_v the_o wind_n be_v the_o male_a and_o that_o which_o be_v load_v with_o cloud_n and_o which_o do_v not_o stir_v to_o be_v the_o female_a they_o call_v the_o water_n male_a and_o all_o other_o water_n female_a they_o say_v that_o the_o fire_n the_o flame_n whereof_o burn_n be_v male_a and_o that_o which_o shine_v without_o do_v harm_n be_v the_o female_a they_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o hard_a earth_n as_o the_o stone_n and_o rock_n be_v male_n and_o give_v the_o name_n of_o female_a to_o that_o which_o be_v manuable_a the_o sea_n be_v call_v ocean_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o quick_a and_o continual_a motion_n for_o oris_n in_o greek_a be_v to_o hasten_v or_o else_o it_o be_v call_v ocean_n quasi_fw-la cianeus_fw-la for_o it_o embrace_v the_o river_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o sea_n receive_v several_a name_n from_o the_o diversity_n of_o place_n by_o the_o which_o it_o pass_v as_o the_o sea_n of_o china_n india_n persia_n etc._n etc._n the_o sea_n proper_o have_v no_o colour_n for_o our_o sight_n do_v not_o remain_v on_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n but_o descend_v low_a and_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n its_o colour_n be_v like_a that_o of_o heaven_n but_o be_v disturb_v by_o the_o wind_n it_o be_v susceptible_a of_o divers_a colour_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o sea_n rise_v increase_v seven_o day_n which_o be_v call_v quick_a water_n and_o seven_o other_o day_n it_o retire_v decrease_v which_o be_v call_v dead_a water_n aristotle_n treat_v of_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o increase_n and_o decrease_v in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o meteor_n as_o also_o hypocrates_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o air_n and_o water_n where_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o proper_a cause_n of_o astrology_n viz._n by_o the_o natural_a virtue_n which_o the_o moon_n have_v on_o the_o water_n therefore_o we_o see_v all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o sea_n increase_v and_o decrease_v as_o the_o moon_n do_v for_o as_o the_o moon_n happen_v to_o rise_v on_o the_o horizon_n and_o that_o she_o touch_v the_o sea_n with_o her_o beam_n so_o do_v she_o raise_v a_o surge_a on_o the_o sea_n which_o cause_v its_o increase_n and_o decrease_v the_o which_o shall_v be_v more_o large_o discuse_v in_o its_o proper_a time_n and_o place_n how_o the_o sea_n belong_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o world_n that_o it_o will_v have_v perish_v without_o the_o same_o and_o how_o the_o water_n be_v engender_v by_o the_o sea_n the_o world_n can_v not_o have_v be_v perfect_a without_o the_o sea_n for_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o beginning_n of_o water_n there_o will_v be_v no_o simple_a water_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o simple_a water_n there_o will_v be_v no_o mix_a water_n and_o so_o there_o can_v not_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o which_o be_v engender_v by_o water_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o water_n find_v nothing_o consist_v of_o a_o body_n can_v be_v continue_v or_o conglutinate_v if_o there_o be_v no_o beginning_n of_o water_n generation_n will_v be_v destroy_v and_o consequent_o all_o the_o world_n neither_o without_o the_o begin_n of_o water_n can_v all_o the_o assembling_n of_o contrary_n be_v perform_v though_o they_o be_v possible_a thus_o nature_n will_v be_v deficient_a in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v unavoidable_o necessary_a and_o conduce_v to_o the_o same_o and_o its_o property_n and_o virtue_n fail_v the_o water_n will_v be_v hinder_v in_o their_o action_n by_o which_o it_o will_v happen_v there_o be_v no_o beginning_n of_o water_n that_o the_o workmanship_n of_o nature_n will_v perish_v and_o consequent_o the_o whole_a world_n aristotle_n in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o meteor_n say_v that_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n engender_v in_o the_o north_n he_o will_v say_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v engender_v in_o the_o north._n as_o albert_n the_o great_a declare_v in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o meteor_n the_o six_o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o sea_n run_v from_o the_o north_n to_o the_o south_n and_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o the_o sea_n be_v high_a in_o the_o north_n then_o towards_o the_o south_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v high_a be_v because_o that_o the_o cold_a of_o the_o north_n engender_v more_o water_n than_o the_o sea_n can_v contain_v in_o the_o space_n distance_n and_o height_n of_o its_o coast_n there_o the_o water_n which_o be_v in_o the_o south_n be_v consume_v and_o diminish_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n therefore_o one_o part_n of_o the_o south_n water_n drive_v the_o other_o back_n towards_o the_o lowermost_a side_n yet_o nevertheless_o either_o move_v accidental_o from_o the_o place_n of_o their_o generation_n because_o that_o which_o be_v moist_a run_v to_o be_v retain_v in_o the_o dry_a part_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o water_n consume_v itself_o so_o much_o in_o the_o south_n be_v because_o the_o sun_n turn_v always_o in_o his_o excentrique_fw-la circle_n and_o that_o its_o centre_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o if_o the_o diameter_n of_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v pass_v between_o two_o diameter_n its_o centre_n and_o that_o of_o the_o earth_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o diameter_n will_v be_v at_o one_o side_n and_o the_o lesser_a at_o the_o other_o in_o consideration_n of_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v geometrical_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o great_a length_n of_o the_o diameter_n be_v near_o the_o twenty_o degree_n of_o gemini_fw-la and_o that_o the_o least_o length_n of_o it_o be_v at_o the_o twenty_o degree_n of_o sagitarius_n its_o opposite_a sign_n it_o appear_v then_o that_o the_o sun_n approach_v near_a unto_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o southern_a part_n then_o in_o the_o northern_a and_o thus_o by_o its_o approach_v the_o south_n heat_v it_o so_o violent_o that_o it_o consume_v the_o water_n and_o scorch_v the_o earth_n which_o it_o do_v not_o at_o the_o north._n wherefore_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v brinish_a and_o salt_n and_o that_o such_o water_n be_v best_a for_o navigation_n the_o matter_n which_o cause_v the_o sea_n to_o be_v brinish_a and_o salt_n be_v because_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o vapour_n in_o the_o sea_n viz._n hot_a and_o moist_a and_o hot_a and_o dry_v the_o one_o whereof_o evaporate_n itself_o from_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o other_o raise_v itself_o from_o its_o bottom_n by_o force_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o star_n which_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o its_o vapour_n and_o because_o that_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o water_n be_v very_o subtle_a between_o these_o two_o therefore_o it_o elevate_v itself_o in_o the_o air_n and_o be_v consume_v by_o the_o sun_n and_o there_o remain_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o exhalation_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o which_o be_v dissipate_v extend_v and_o mingle_v among_o the_o water_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o example_n of_o those_o who_o eat_v for_o the_o digest_v meat_n spread_v and_o divide_v itself_o through_o the_o member_n and_o all_o the_o gross_a and_o undigested_a substance_n remain_v in_o the_o like_a manner_n also_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v extend_v itself_o remain_v mix_v with_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sea_n water_n and_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o water_n drive_v in_o so_o cold_o as_o it_o consume_v itself_o by_o its_o own_o coldness_n because_o of_o its_o mingle_n by_o antyperistasis_n which_o be_v to_o say_v that_o two_o contrary_a thing_n join_v together_o become_v strong_a than_o before_o for_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o exhalation_n which_o issue_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n fortify_v itself_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sun_n with_o its_o contrary_a to_o wit_n the_o coldness_n and_o
