general_a description_n of_o belgia_n we_o will_v speak_v first_o concern_v the_o tide_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o afterward_o we_o will_v reckon_v up_o the_o property_n of_o the_o german_a sea_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o moon_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o tide_n of_o the_o ocean_n but_o as_o the_o moon_n have_v divers_a change_n in_o her_o motion_n so_o the_o tide_n do_v also_o change_v for_o they_o follow_v the_o moon_n do_v flow_v twice_o between_o the_o rise_n thereof_o and_o do_v ebb_v twice_o in_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n so_o that_o the_o sea_n do_v flow_v twice_o and_o

again_o when_o the_o moon_n go_v down_o under_o the_o earth_n and_o come_v to_o the_o contrary_a part_n of_o the_o meridian_n and_o so_o likewise_o it_o eb_v until_o it_o rise_v again_o but_o as_o the_o moon_n do_v not_o always_o rise_v at_o one_o time_n and_o in_o one_o place_n but_o every_o day_n rise_v in_o another_o place_n than_o it_o do_v before_o so_o the_o tide_n do_v not_o flow_v at_o certain_a hour_n but_o at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o moon_n pass_v through_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o heaven_n moreover_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o full_a moon_n do_v move_v the_o sea_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o the_o half_a moon_n for_o this_o luminary_n have_v great_a force_n when_o it_o be_v at_o the_o full_a than_o when_o it_o be_v weak_a and_o in_o the_o wain_n we_o use_v to_o call_v those_o tide_n which_o be_v at_o the_o full_a of_o the_o moon_n sprinckuloedt_n that_o be_v a_o springtide_n which_o agel_n lib._n 14._o concern_v the_o ocean_n do_v elegant_o call_v the_o

fit_a aspect_n unto_o venus_n and_o do_v run_v through_o moist_a house_n it_o do_v wonderful_o increase_v the_o tide_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o if_o it_o be_v aspect_v with_o mars_n or_o dry_a planet_n it_o do_v lessen_v the_o tide_n here_o also_o the_o ascension_n of_o the_o sign_n be_v to_o be_v note_v but_o if_o the_o moon_n be_v in_o sign_n of_o a_o right_a ascension_n it_o make_v the_o tide_n long_o than_o if_o it_o be_v in_o sign_n of_o oblique_a ascension_n for_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o tide_n be_v never_o equal_a to_o the_o ebb_n in_o continuance_n of_o time_n but_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v in_o the_o equinoctial_a sign_n and_o have_v no_o latitude_n beside_o some_o part_n of_o the_o water_n do_v find_v a_o great_a influence_n proceed_v from_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o moon_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o rectitude_n and_o straightness_n of_o the_o beam_n or_o some_o other_o hide_a quality_n but_o the_o moon_n have_v a_o different_a influence_n when_o it_o be_v northward_o and_o another_o when_o it_o be_v southward_o for_o when_o it_o be_v here_o it_o increase_v the_o tide_n on_o the_o southern_a shore_n and_o when_o it_o be_v there_o on_o the_o northern_a shore_n moreover_o the_o tide_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v great_a in_o some_o place_n and_o in_o other_o place_n very_o small_a or_o none_o at_o all_o for_o as_o concern_v this_o our_o

there_o for_o when_o it_o be_v a_o east_n wind_n the_o sea_n go_v very_o high_a and_o drive_v back_o rivers_n neither_o do_v it_o flow_v only_o to_o the_o sea_n side_n but_o it_o overflow_v the_o

be_v think_v to_o be_v of_o a_o insearchable_a depth_n moreover_o it_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v mention_v that_o whereas_o all_o other_o sea_n be_v bitter_a and_o salt_n our_o sea_n have_v sweet_a water_n and_o not_o unpleasant_a to_o drink_v and_o that_o in_o regard_n that_o many_o great_a fresh_a river_n do_v run_v into_o it_o out_o of_o the_o sarmatian_a mountain_n and_o because_o the_o sun_n be_v too_o weak_a in_o those_o place_n to_o exhale_v and_o draw_v up_o the_o light_a and_o thin_a part_n of_o the_o water_n which_o some_o make_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o salt_n sea_n be_v of_o a_o thick_a substance_n while_o the_o thin_a water_n do_v yield_v to_o the_o least_o weight_n it_o be_v easy_a also_o to_o swim_v in_o this_o sea_n than_o in_o
