think_v you_o must_v happen_v to_o the_o sea_n which_o rest_v on_o it_o and_o be_v a_o fluid_a body_n a._n i_o think_v it_o must_v make_v the_o sea_n rise_v and_o fall_v and_o the_o same_o happen_v also_o to_o the_o air_n from_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n b._n remember_v also_o in_o what_o manner_n the_o sea_n be_v situate_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o dry_a land_n a._n be_v not_o there_o a_o great_a sea_n that_o reach_v from_o the_o straight_a of_o magellan_n eastward_o to_o the_o indies_n and_o thence_o to_o the_o same_o straight_o again_o and_o be_v not_o there_o a_o great_a sea_n call_v the_o atlantic_a sea_n that_o run_v northward_o to_o we_o and_o do_v not_o the_o great_a south-sea_n run_v also_o up_o into_o the_o northern_a sea_n but_o i_o think_v the_o indian_a and_o the_o south-sea_n of_o themselves_o to_o be_v great_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o globe_n b._n how_o lie_v the_o water_n in_o those_o two_o sea_n a._n east_n and_o west_n and_o rise_v and_o fall_v a_o little_a as_o it_o be_v force_v to_o do_v by_o this_o compound_a motion_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o succussion_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o fill_v both_o the_o atlantic_a and_o northern_a sea_n b._n all_o this_o will_v not_o make_v a_o visible_a difference_n between_o high_a and_o low_a water_n because_o this_o motion_n be_v so_o regular_a the_o unevenness_n will_v not_o be_v great_a enough_o to_o be_v see_v for_o though_o in_o a_o basin_n the_o water_n will_v be_v throw_v into_o the_o air_n yet_o the_o earth_n can_v throw_v the_o sea_n into_o the_o air._n a._n yes_o the_o basin_n if_o gentle_o move_v will_v make_v the_o water_n so_o move_v that_o you_o shall_v hardly_o see_v it_o rise_v b._n it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o you_o shall_v never_o see_v it_o rise_v as_o it_o do_v if_o it_o be_v not_o check_v for_o at_o the_o straight_a of_o magellan_n the_o great_a south-sea_n be_v check_v by_o the_o shore_n of_o the_o continent_n of_o peru_n and_o chy_o and_o force_v to_o rise_v to_o a_o great_a height_n and_o make_v to_o run_v up_o into_o the_o northern_a sea_n on_o that_o side_n by_o the_o coast_n of_o china_n and_o at_o the_o return_n be_v check_v again_o and_o force_v through_o the_o atlantic_a into_o the_o british_a and_o german_a sea_n and_o this_o be_v do_v every_o day_n for_o we_o have_v suppose_v that_o the_o earth_n motion_n in_o the_o ecliptic_a cause_v by_o the_o sun_n be_v annual_a and_o that_o its_o motion_n in_o the_o aequinoctial_a be_v diurnal_a it_o follow_v therefore_o from_o this_o compound_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o sea_n must_v ebb_v and_o flow_v twice_o in_o the_o space_n of_o twenty_o four_o hour_n or_o thereabouts_o a._n have_v the_o moon_n nothing_o to_o do_v in_o this_o business_n b._n yes_o for_o she_o have_v also_o the_o like_a motion_n and_o be_v though_o less_o swift_a yet_o much_o near_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n be_v in_o conjunction_n or_o opposition_n the_o earth_n as_o from_o two_o agent_n at_o once_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o great_a succussion_n and_o if_o it_o chance_v at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o moon_n also_o be_v in_o the_o ecliptic_a it_o will_v be_v yet_o great_a because_o the_o moon_n than_o work_v on_o the_o earth_n less_o oblique_o a._n but_o when_o the_o full_a or_o new_a moon_n happen_v to_o be_v then_o when_o the_o earth_n be_v in_o the_o aequinoctial_a point_n the_o tide_n be_v great_a than_o ordinary_a why_o be_v that_o b._n because_o then_o the_o force_n by_o which_o they_o move_v the_o sea_n be_v at_o that_o time_n to_o the_o force_n by_o which_o they_o move_v the_o same_o at_o other_o time_n as_o the_o aequinoctial_a circle_n to_o one_o of_o its_o parallel_n which_o be_v a_o lesser_a circle_n a._n it_o be_v evident_a and_o it_o be_v pleasant_a to_o see_v the_o concord_n of_o so_o many_o and_o various_a motion_n when_o they_o proceed_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o hypothesis_n but_o what_o say_v you_o to_o the_o stupendous_a tide_n which_o happen_v on_o the_o coast_n of_o lincolnshire_n on_o the_o east_n and_o in_o the_o river_n of_o severn_n on_o the_o west_n b._n the_o cause_n of_o that_o be_v their_o proper_a situation_n for_o the_o current_n of_o the_o ocean_n through_o the_o atlantic_a sea_n and_o the_o current_n of_o the_o south-sea_n through_o the_o northern_a sea_n meet_v together_o raise_v the_o water_n in_o the_o irish_a and_o british_a sea_n a_o great_a deal_n high_o than_o ordinary_a therefore_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o severn_n be_v direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o current_n from_o the_o atlantic_a sea_n and_o those_o sand_n on_o the_o coast_n of_o lincolnshire_n direct_o opposite_a to_o the_o current_n of_o the_o german_a sea_n those_o tide_n must_v needs_o fall_v furious_o into_o they_o by_o this_o succussion_n of_o the_o water_n a._n do_v when_o the_o tide_n run_v up_o into_o a_o river_n the_o water_n all_o rise_v together_o and_o fall_v together_o when_o it_o go_v out_o no_o one_o part_n rise_v and_o another_o fall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n because_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n rise_v and_o fall_v be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o tide_n a._n have_v you_o any_o experiment_n that_o show_v it_o b._n yes_o you_o know_v that_o in_o the_o thames_n it_o be_v high_a water_n at_o greenwich_n before_o it_o be_v high_a water_n at_o london-bridge_n the_o water_n therefore_o fall_v at_o greenwich_n whilst_o it_o rise_v all_o the_o way_n to_o london_n but_o except_o the_o top_n of_o the_o water_n go_v up_o and_o the_o low_a part_n downward_o it_o be_v impossible_a a._n it_o be_v certain_a it_o be_v strange_a that_o this_o one_o motion_n shall_v salve_v so_o many_o apparence_n and_o so_o easy_o but_o i_o will_v produce_v one_o experiment_n of_o water_n not_o in_o the_o sea_n but_o in_o a_o glass_n if_o you_o can_v show_v i_o that_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v this_o compound_a motion_n i_o shall_v go_v near_o to_o think_v it_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o other_o effect_n of_o nature_n hitherto_o dispute_v of_o the_o experiment_n be_v common_a and_o describe_v by_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n bacon_n in_o the_o three_o page_n of_o his_o natural_a history_n take_v say_v he_o a_o glass_n of_o water_n and_o draw_v your_o finger_n round_o about_o the_o lip_n of_o the_o glass_n press_v it_o somewhat_o hard_a after_o you_o have_v do_v so_o a_o few_o time_n it_o will_v make_v the_o water_n frisk_v up_o into_o a_o fine_a dew_n after_o i_o have_v read_v this_o i_o try_v the_o same_o with_o all_o diligence_n myself_o and_o find_v true_a not_o only_o the_o frisk_a of_o the_o water_n to_o above_o a_o inch_n high_a but_o also_o the_o whole_a superficies_n to_o circulate_v and_o withal_o to_o make_v a_o pleasant_a sound_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o frisk_a he_o attribute_n to_o a_o tumult_n of_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o glass_n strive_v to_o free_v itself_o from_o the_o pressure_n b._n i_o have_v try_v and_o find_v both_o the_o sound_n and_o motion_n and_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o glass_n be_v part_n of_o the_o cause_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o my_o finger_n about_o the_o glass_n be_v always_o parallel_n and_o when_o it_o chance_v to_o be_v otherwise_o both_o sound_n and_o motion_n cease_v a._n i_o find_v the_o same_o and_o be_v satisfy_v i_o proceed_v to_o other_o question_n how_o be_v the_o water_n be_v a_o heavy_a body_n make_v to_o ascend_v in_o small_a particle_n into_o the_o air_n and_o be_v there_o for_o a_o time_n sustain_v in_o form_n of_o a_o cloud_n and_o then_o fall_v down_o again_o in_o rain_n b._n i_o have_v show_v already_o that_o this_o compound_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o one_o part_n of_o its_o circumlation_n drive_v the_o air_n one_o way_n and_o in_o the_o other_o part_n the_o contrary_a way_n and_o that_o it_o can_v draw_v it_o back_o again_o no_o more_o than_o he_o that_o set_v a_o stone_n a_o fly_a can_v pull_v it_o back_o the_o air_n therefore_o which_o be_v contiguous_a to_o the_o water_n be_v thus_o distract_v must_v either_o leave_v a_o vacuum_n or_o else_o some_o part_n of_o the_o water_n must_v rise_v and_o fill_v the_o space_n continual_o forsake_v by_o the_o air._n but_o that_o there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n you_o have_v grant_v therefore_o the_o water_n rise_v into_o the_o air_n and_o make_v the_o cloud_n and_o see_v they_o be_v very_o small_a and_o invisible_a part_n of_o the_o water_n be_v though_o natural_o heavy_a easy_o carry_v up_o and_o down_o with_o the_o wind_n till_z meet_v with_o some_o mountain_n or_o other_o cloud_n they_o be_v press_v together_o into_o great_a drop_n and_o
