and_o to_o have_v be_v educate_v by_o oceanus_n and_o tethys_n or_o by_o the_o oceanine_a nymph_n the_o air_n be_v chief_o feed_v by_o the_o sea-water_n rarify_v and_o indeed_o it_o seem_v much_o more_o natural_a to_o i_o that_o the_o great_a magazine_n of_o water_n for_o supply_v all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v in_o good_a measure_n be_v place_v on_o that_o part_n of_o it_o

i_o say_v it_o be_v unnatural_a not_o to_o place_v water_n where_o the_o strong_a action_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v and_o again_o i_o can_v think_v those_o other_o water_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n they_o be_v all_o fresh_a whereby_o notwithstanding_o their_o flow_a a_o general_a corruption_n must_v have_v follow_v in_o they_o as_o also_o in_o regard_n they_o be_v not_o refresh_v by_o rain_n

species_n in_o plant_n and_o animal_n and_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o if_o the_o use_v of_o the_o sea_n be_v due_o inspect_v and_o state_v its_o water_n as_o now_o qualify_v with_o a_o high_o

thing_n they_o be_v unanimous_a in_o the_o assertion_n of_o a_o sea_n from_o the_o beginning_n so_o as_o a_o commentator_n on_o aristotle_n have_v true_o observe_v that_o all_o those_o who_o have_v hold_v the_o world_n eternal_a hold_v the_o sea_n so_o too_o and_o all_o those_o that_o hold_v the_o world_n to_o have_v have_v a_o beginning_n hold_v the_o sea_n to_o have_v exi_v together_o with_o

command_v the_o air_n neptune_n the_o sea_n and_o dis_n or_o pluto_n the_o inward_a region_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o indeed_o we_o find_v the_o ancient_n so_o fond_a of_o a_o sea_n that_o scarce_o any_o of_o they_o describe_v a_o terrestrial_a paradise_n but_o mention_v the_o sea_n with_o it_o chap._n xi_o this_o chapter_n treat_v concern_v the_o mountain_n of_o the_o earth_n their_o

inhabit_v there_o be_v nothing_o that_o i_o look_v upon_o with_o more_o pleasure_n than_o the_o wide_a sea_n and_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v something_o august_a and_o stately_a in_o the_o air_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o inspire_v the_o mind_n with_o great_a thought_n and_o passion_n we_o do_v natural_o upon_o such_o occasion_n think_v of_o god_n and_o his_o greatness_n and_o whatsoever_o have_v but_o the_o shadow_n and_o appearance_n of_o infinite_a as_o all_o thing_n have_v that_o be_v too_o big_a for_o our_o comprehension_n they_o fill_v and_o overbear_v the_o mind_n with_o their_o excess_n and_o cast_v it_o into_o a_o please_a kind_n of_o stupor_n and_o admiration_n but_o at_o last_o he_o conclude_v that_o these_o mountain_n so_o specious_a as_o they_o seem_v be_v nought_o but_o great_a ruin_n and_o then_o expatiate_v much_o in_o set_v forth_o their_o greatness_n irregular_a form_n and_o situation_n and_o last_o assign_v their_o cause_n and_o origine_fw-la now_o as_o to_o the_o cause_n and_o origine_fw-la of_o mountain_n and_o the_o accident_n belong_v to_o they_o since_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o the_o account_n which_o the_o author_n have_v render_v of_o they_o upon_o the_o break_n of_o the_o earth_n at_o the_o deluge_n be_v erroneous_a i_o shall_v not_o here_o say_v more_o to_o they_o especial_o have_v intimate_v already_o in_o the_o five_o chapter_n how_o i_o conceive_v mountain_n a_o sea_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v account_v for_o more_o rational_o another_o way_n but_o shall_v offer_v some_o thing_n concern_v the_o necessity_n and_o use_v of_o mountain_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o sea_n when_o a_o man_n consider_v the_o fair_a encomium_n the_o author_n have_v make_v on_o mountain_n though_o at_o last_o conclude_v they_o to_o be_v but_o a_o ruin_n and_o exclude_v they_o his_o antediluvian_n earth_n he_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v it_o be_v pity_n that_o earth_n suppose_v far_o to_o exceed_v the_o present_a shall_v be_v without_o such_o noble_a ruin_n and_o even_o paradise_n itself_o and_o indeed_o as_o the_o ancient_n according_a to_o what_o i_o have_v intimate_v before_o scarce_o ever_o describe_v a_o paradise_n without_o mention_v a_o sea_n so_o they_o seldom_o do_v it_o without_o name_v mountain_n i_o know_v not_o how_o all_o mankind_n may_v stand_v affect_v but_o i_o know_v a_o great_a part_n will_v agree_v with_o i_o that_o a_o level_a country_n can_v never_o be_v so_o pleasant_a as_o a_o country_n diversify_v in_o site_n and_o ornament_n with_o mountain_n valley_n chase_n plain_n wood_n cataractical_a fall_n and_o serpentine_a course_n of_o river_n with_o a_o prospect_n of_o the_o sea_n etc._n etc._n what_o be_v a_o dull_a level_n to_o this_o where_o the_o sight_n be_v terminate_v at_o the_o next_o hedge_n and_o if_o you_o raise_v tower_n to_o overlook_v it_o it_o can_v never_o equal_v or_o come_v near_o the_o charm_a variety_n of_o the_o other_o nor_o do_v the_o author_n instance_n in_o his_o answer_n to_o mr._n warren_n c._n 7._o seem_v to_o i_o to_o clear_v the_o point_n where_o he_o say_v we_o be_v please_v with_o the_o look_v upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o a_o roman_a amphitheatre_n or_o a_o triumphal_a arch_n though_o time_n have_v deface_v its_o beauty_n for_o the_o question_n will_v still_o lie_v whether_o a_o roman_a amphitheatre_n or_o triumphal_a arch_n in_o its_o glory_n be_v not_o more_o beautiful_a and_o please_a to_o behold_v than_o the_o ruin_n of_o they_o and_o i_o shall_v still_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o present_a earth_n on_o the_o account_n before_o express_v have_v a_o more_o delightful_a and_o charm_a prospect_n than_o its_o antediluvian_n state_n as_o by_o the_o author_n represent_v can_v have_v afford_v but_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o use_n of_o mountain_n we_o find_v the_o ancient_n call_v the_o earth_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d our_o mother_n earth_n for_o as_o plato_n say_v the_o earth_n do_v not_o imitate_v a_o woman_n but_o a_o woman_n the_o earth_n and_o they_o compare_v the_o mountain_n on_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o breast_n of_o a_o woman_n and_o indeed_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v due_o consider_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o mountain_n be_v no_o less_o ornamental_a and_o of_o necessary_a use_n to_o the_o earth_n for_o afford_v continual_a stream_n of_o fresh_a water_n to_o suckle_v all_o her_o production_n than_o the_o protuberant_a breast_n of_o a_o woman_n be_v both_o for_o
