<
s
>Let us therefore fancy one of thoſe Barks, to come from thence
<
lb

with moderate velocity along the Lake, carrying the water gently,
<
lb

of which it is full: and then either by running a ground, or by
<
lb

ſome other impediment that it ſhall meet with, let it be notably
<
lb

retarded. </

but retaining
<

the ſame, ſhall run forwards towards the prow, where it ſhall
<
lb

riſe notably, falling as much a ſtern. </
s

<
s
>But if, on the contrary,
<
lb

the ſaid Bark, in the midſt of its ſmooth courſe, ſhall have a new
<
lb

velocity, with notable augmentation added to it, the water
<
lb
/>
tained before it can habituate it ſelf thereto, continuing in its
<
lb
/>
tardity, ſhall ſtay behinde, namely a ſtern, where of
<
lb
/>
quence it ſhall mount, and abate for the ſame at the prow. </
s

<
s
>This
<
lb

effect is undoubted and manifeſt, and may hourly be
<
lb

ted; in which I deſire that for the preſent three particulars may
<
lb

be noted. </
s

<
s
>The flrſt is, that to make the water to riſe on one
<
lb
/>
ſide of the veſſel, there is no need of new water, nor that it run
<
lb
/>
thither, forſaking the other ſide. </
s

<
s
>The ſecond is, that the water
<
lb
/>
in the middle doth not riſe or fall notably, unleſſe the courſe of
<
lb
/>
the Bark were not before that very ſwift, and the ſhock or other
<
lb
/>
arreſt that held it exceeding ſtrong and ſudden, in which caſe its
<
lb
/>
poſſible, that not only all the water might run forwards, but
<
lb
/>
that the greater part thereof might iſſue forth of the Bark: and
<
lb
/>
the ſame alſo would enſue, whilſt that being under ſail in a
<
lb
/>
ſmooth courſe, a moſt violent

ſhould, upon an inſtant,
<
lb
/>
overtake it: But when to its calme motion there is added a
<
lb
/>
derate retardation or incitation, the middle parts (as I ſaid)
<
lb
/>
obſervedly riſe and fall: and the other parts, according as they
<
lb
/>
are neerer to the middle, riſe the leſſe; and the more remote,
<
lb
/>
more. </
s
>
<
s
>The third is, that whereas the parts about the midſt do
<
lb
/>
make little alteration in riſing and falling, in reſpect of the
<
lb
/>
ters of the ſides; on the contrary, they run forwards and
<
lb
/>
wards very much, in compariſon of the extreams. </
s

<
s

<
lb

Maſters, that which the Bark doth, in reſpect of the water by it
<
lb

contained, and that which the water contained doth, in
<
lb

ſpect of the Bark its container, is the ſelf-ſame, to an hair, with
<
lb

that which the Mediterranean Veſſel doth, in reſpect of the

lb

ters in it contained, and that which the waters contained do, in

reſpect of the Mediterranean Veſſel their container. </

<
s

<

eth now that we demonſtrate how, and in what manner it is true,
<
lb
/>
that the Mediterrane, and all the other Straits; and in a word,
<
lb

all the parts of the Earth do all move, with a motion notably
<
lb

uneven, though no motion that is not regular and uniforme, is
<
lb

thereby aſſigned to all the ſaid Globe taken collectively.</
