what_o motion_n can_v you_o imagine_v the_o earth_n to_o have_v to_o be_v little_a enough_o to_o swell_v the_o water_n five_o nay_o ten_o foot_n upon_o those_o shore_n where_o the_o sea_n be_v two_o

which_o be_v thus_o the_o moon_n come_v late_a to_o the_o same_o point_n of_o the_o heaven_n one_o day_n with_o another_o by_o about_o forty_o eight_o minute_n and_o the_o tide_n observe_v the_o

this_o interruption_n then_o the_o question_n may_v well_o be_v ask_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o sea_n universal_o may_v be_v make_v thus_o exact_o to_o keep_v time_n with_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o

the_o manner_n that_o i_o have_v suppose_v it_o but_o that_o the_o sea_n must_v observe_v the_o same_o even_o to_o a_o minute_n of_o time_n for_o if_o the_o moon_n shall_v be_v southeast_n

a_o clock_n if_o to_o morrow_n the_o moon_n come_v late_a to_o these_o point_n 20_o or_o 30_o minute_n its_o certain_a that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n can_v begin_v till_o then_o and_o by_o

know_v by_o what_o mean_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o sea_n be_v abate_v and_o increase_v every_o seven_o day_n i_o say_v before_o that_o the_o moon_n and_o sun_n by_o a_o powerful_a magnetic_a attractive_a virtue_n give_v the_o earth_n motion_n i_o shall_v now_o add_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o exceed_a swift_a motion_n of_o the_o moon_n the_o sun_n sometime_o come_v to_o be_v so_o posit_v as_o direct_o to_o oppose_v the_o moon_n in_o the_o motion_n and_o sometime_o to_o assist_v with_o all_o his_o force_n but_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v what_o i_o say_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n fancy_n to_o yourself_o how_o much_o the_o sun_n contribute_v to_o or_o impede_v the_o motion_n as_o he_o come_v to_o be_v every_o day_n diverse_o posit_v i_o will_v now_o examine_v how_o much_o the_o sun_n may_v be_v concern_v in_o the_o action_n which_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v from_o this_o that_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v 90_o degree_n from_o the_o sun_n the_o sun_n then_o direct_o oppose_v the_o moon_n in_o the_o motion_n and_o yet_o then_o the_o tide_n here_o at_o london_n common_o rise_v about_o 12_o foot_n at_o new_a and_o full_a moon_n the_o sun_n lend_v his_o utmost_a assistance_n and_o then_o they_o rise_v about_o 16_o foot_n now_o if_o when_o the_o sun_n direct_o oppose_v the_o moon_n the_o tide_n rise_v 12_o foot_n and_o whenhe_n assist_v with_o all_o his_o force_n they_o rise_v but_o 16._o its_o certain_a that_o if_o the_o sun_n do_v neither_o hinder_v nor_o assist_v the_o moon_n alone_o will_v give_v the_o earth_n so_o much_o motion_n as_o shall_v constant_o make_v the_o tide_n rise_v here_o 14_o foot_n so_o that_o the_o sun_n interest_n can_v be_v but_o as_o two_o to_o 14._o i_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v precise_a in_o this_o for_o perhaps_o there_o may_v be_v especial_o at_o some_o time_n of_o the_o year_n more_o than_o four_o foot_n difference_n between_o the_o neap_n and_o spring_n tide_n here_o and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o neap_n and_o spring_n tide_n rise_v not_o common_o so_o high_a as_o i_o speak_v of_o but_o this_o be_v not_o so_o far_o from_o the_o truth_n but_o that_o it_o may_v serve_v to_o make_v a_o pretty_a near_o estimate_n then_o now_o if_o you_o understand_v after_o what_o manner_n i_o suppose_v the_o earth_n be_v move_v and_o at_o what_o point_v it_o have_v its_o great_a motion_n you_o will_v easy_o know_v how_o that_o motion_n come_v to_o be_v abate_v or_o increase_v which_o be_v thus_o suppose_v the_o moon_n in_o the_o horizon_n east_n and_o in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o sun_n this_o day_n than_o the_o tide_n must_v be_v at_o the_o high_a for_o now_o the_o moon_n and_o sun_n be_v carry_v round_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o same_o point_n they_o with_o their_o unite_a force_n must_v give_v it_o as_o great_a a_o motion_n as_o at_o any_o time_n they_o can_v for_o the_o next_o day_n it_o will_v be_v three_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n late_a before_o the_o moon_n reach_v the_o horizon_n and_o then_o the_o sun_n will_v be_v about_o 12_o degree_n above_o it_o so_o that_o this_o day_n when_o the_o moon_n shall_v be_v southeast_n the_o place_n of_o great_a advantage_n of_o give_v the_o earth_n motion_n the_o sun_n will_v be_v 12_o degree_n near_o the_o meridian_n at_o which_o point_n the_o sun_n can_v altogether_o so_o powerful_o assist_v the_o

circle_n it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n about_o 14_o day_n after_o this_o the_o sun_n will_v be_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o cancer_n and_o the_o moon_n about_o the_o middle_n of_o capricorn_n in_o opposition_n with_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o if_o they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o circle_n and_o describe_v circle_n so_o much_o great_a and_o by_o that_o

the_o moon_n shall_v be_v in_o conjunction_n or_o opposition_n with_o the_o sun_n they_o will_v yet_o describe_v great_a circle_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n give_v the_o earth_n a_o great_a motion_n and_o according_o the_o springtide_n will_v increase_v till_o the_o sun_n have_v reach_v the_o equator_fw-la and_o then_o be_v carry_v direct_o over_o the_o body_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o great_a circle_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v think_v to_o give_v the_o earth_n and_o sea_n the_o great_a motion_n so_o that_o now_o the_o springtide_n be_v at_o the_o very_o high_a for_o now_o they_o will_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n decrease_v again_o till_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o capricorn_n and_o the_o next_o quarter_n increase_v etc._n etc._n and_o this_o without_o doubt_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n why_o the_o springtide_n be_v high_a in_o march_n and_o september_n and_o low_a in_o june_n and_o december_n i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o inform_v myself_o how_o much_o the_o springtide_n be_v high_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o equator_fw-la then_o when_o in_o the_o solstice_n and_o by_o the_o near_a observation_n i_o can_v make_v here_o at_o london_n there_o be_v the_o difference_n of_o near_a two_o foot_n but_o i_o be_o not_o so_o well_o satisfy_v in_o it_o as_o i_o desire_v it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o give_v you_o notice_n here_o that_o you_o shall_v hardly_o meet_v with_o two_o man_n that_o agree_v at_o what_o time_n the_o spring_n tide_n be_v at_o the_o high_a ay_o mean_a those_o spring_n tide_n that_o happen_v at_o new_a and_o full-moon_n some_o say_n upon_o the_o day_n the_o moon_n be_v in_o conjunction_n or_o opposition_n some_o the_o next_o day_n other_o will_v have_v it_o the_o three_o tide_n after_o by_o which_o it_o shall_v seem_v the_o time_n be_v not_o fix_v i_o be_o in_o the_o mind_n that_o for_o one_o half_a of_o the_o year_n the_o tide_n may_v increase_v a_o day_n or_o more_o after_o full_a and_o change_n but_o not_o the_o other_o half_a that_o be_v from_o june_n to_o september_n and_o from_o december_n till_o march_v my_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v this_o in_o these_o quarter_n the_o sun_n be_v return_v from_o the_o tropic_n to_o the_o equator_n and_o then_o though_o the_o sun_n a_o day_n after_o full_a and_o change_n do_v less_o assist_v the_o moon_n in_o give_v the_o earth_n motion_n then_o upon_o the_o day_n yet_o it_o be_v so_o very_o little_o less_o that_o the_o disadvantage_n be_v more_o than_o recompense_v by_o the_o moon_n discribe_v the_o day_n after_o have_v a_o very_a swift_a motion_n a_o great_a circle_n about_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o sun_n go_v from_o the_o equator_fw-la to_o the_o tropic_a it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a for_o then_o the_o day_n after_o full_a and_o change_v the_o moon_n describe_v a_o lesser_a circle_n than_o the_o day_n before_o and_o then_o the_o tide_n shall_v not_o increase_v after_o new_a and_o full-moon_n at_o least_o not_o so_o long_o i_o have_v make_v some_o agreeable_a observation_n about_o this_o but_o have_v not_o have_v time_n for_o a_o strict_a inquiry_n though_o i_o have_v long_o think_v of_o it_o those_o that_o live_v near_o this_o or_o any_o other_o river_n that_o ebb_v and_o flow_v may_v easy_o inform_v themselves_o whether_o this_o be_v so_o or_o no._n but_o now_o beside_o these_o alteration_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o must_v follow_v upon_o this_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n first_o that_o when_o the_o tide_n rise_v high_a they_o must_v fall_v low_a second_o that_o the_o tide_n in_o all_o sea_n must_v set_v east_n and_o west_n and_o three_o that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sea_n must_v begin_v at_o the_o same_o time_n all_o over_o the_o world_n the_o first_o of_o these_o you_o may_v at_o your_o pleasure_n observe_v and_o you_o shall_v always_o find_v that_o the_o high_a spring_n tide_n make_v the_o low_a ebb._n and_o all_o experimeneed_a man_n know_v the_o tide_n set_v direct_o east_n and_o west_n upon_o all_o the_o utmost_a eastern_a and_o western_a shore_n in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o think_v that_o learned_a man_n be_v agree_v that_o the_o motion_n begin_v at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o all_o sea_n thus_o much_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v south-west_n or_o in_o the_o opposite_a point_n of_o the_o heaven_n that_o be_v north-east_n it_o be_v always_o high-water_n upon_o all_o the_o utmost_a open_a western_a shore_n of_o europe_n and_o africa_n from_o nova_n zembla_n to_o the_o cape_n of_o good-hope_a and_o that_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v southeast_n or_o northwest_n it_o be_v high-water_n upon_o the_o utmost_a eastern_a shore_n of_o america_n so_o that_o when_o it_o be_v high-water_n upon_o the_o first_o name_v it_o must_v be_v low-water_n upon_o the_o other_o sh_n when_o they_o have_v the_o first_o of_o ebb_n upon_o the_o western_a shore_n of_o europe_n and_o africa_n they_o must_v have_v the_o first_o of_o flood_n upon_o the_o opposite_a eastern_a shore_n of_o america_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o motion_n begin_v at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o all_o these_o sea_n and_o that_o what_o we_o call_v the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o water_n from_o off_o the_o western_a upon_o the_o eastern_a shore_n and_o the_o same_o back_n again_o every_o 6_o hour_n but_o further_a when_o it_o be_v high-water_n upon_o the_o western_a shore_n of_o europe_n and_o africa_n it_o be_v high-water_n at_o the_o same_o time_n upon_o the_o western_a shore_n of_o italy_n and_o upon_o the_o shore_n of_o syria_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mediterranean_a sea_n and_o take_v good_a notice_n of_o it_o when_o it_o be_v high-water_n upon_o those_o shore_n it_o be_v low-water_n at_o venice_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_n now_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o very_a forceable_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o i_o have_v suppose_v it_o and_o then_o the_o motion_n must_v begin_v at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o all_o sea_n for_o it_o be_v unconceivable_a how_o this_o shall_v otherwise_o happen_v but_o if_o you_o shall_v fancy_v the_o terraqueous_a globe_n to_o have_v a_o little_a motion_n from_o west_n to_o east_n you_o will_v then_o say_v that_o it_o must_v make_v high-water_n upon_o all_o the_o first_o name_v shore_n and_o low-water_n at_o venice_n but_o then_o let_v the_o eastern_a side_n be_v turn_v up_o and_o it_o must_v make_v high-water_n at_o venice_n and_o low-water_n upon_o all_o the_o other_o sh_n the_o instance_n that_o may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o this_o and_o other_o sea_n to_o confirm_v this_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v every_o where_o so_o many_o and_o so_o obvious_a that_o they_o can_v escape_v your_o notice_n if_o you_o will_v but_o take_v the_o least_o pain_n to_o inquire_v into_o these_o thing_n nor_o can_v you_o i_o think_v meet_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o shall_v seem_v to_o contradict_v it_o a_o reason_n now_o shall_v be_v give_v why_o upon_o some_o shore_n they_o have_v almost_o no_o tide_n when_o upon_o other_o they_o have_v great_a and_o almost_o incredible_a flood_n i_o will_v only_o name_v some_o of_o those_o place_n that_o be_v most_o remarkable_a for_o great_a tide_n or_o the_o contrary_a without_o attempt_v to_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v so_o be_v almost_o confident_a that_o when_o you_o have_v observe_v those_o place_n well_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o earth_n have_v such_o a_o motion_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v so_o i_o will_v begin_v in_o the_o north_n part_n of_o europe_n in_o some_o bay_n upon_o the_o shore_n of_o nova_n zembla_n it_o flow_v 12._o or_o 14_o foot_n but_o in_o some_o place_n upon_o the_o neighbour_a shore_n of_o lapland_n they_o have_v no_o tide_n at_o all_o and_o where_o they_o have_v most_o which_o be_v as_o i_o remember_v near_o the_o bay_n of_o st._n nicholas_n one_o two_o or_o three_o foot_n pet_n and_o jackman_n search_v for_o a_o
