but the part C at the ſame time is retarded in its motion, as be
<
lb
/>
ing deprived of the progreſſion dependant on the diurnal motion:
<
lb
/>
If we ſuppoſe, I ſay, a tract of Sea as long as the arch B C, we
<
lb
/>
have already ſeen, that its extreams ſhall move in the ſame time
<
lb
/>
with great inequality. </
s
>
<
s
>And extreamly different would the
<
lb
/>
cities of a tract of Sea be that is in length a ſemicircle, and
<
lb
/>
ced in the poſition B C D, in regard that the extream B would
<
lb
/>
be in a moſt accelerate motion, and the other D, in a moſt ſlow
<
lb
/>
one; and the intermediate parts towards C, would be in a
<
lb
/>
moderate motion. </
s
>
<
s
>And according as the ſaid tracts of Sea ſhall
<
lb
/>
be ſhorter, they ſhall leſſe participate of this extravagant
<
lb
/>
dent, of being in ſome hours of the day with their parts diverſly
<
lb
/>
affected by velocity and tardity of motion. </
s
>
<
s
>So that, if, as in the firſt
<
lb
/>
caſe, we ſee by experience that the acceleration and retardation,
<
lb
/>
though equally imparted to all the parts of the conteining Veſſel,
<
lb
/>
is the cauſe that the water contained, fluctuates too and again, what
<
lb
/>
may we think would happen in a Veſſel ſo admirably diſpoſed,
<
lb
/>
that retardation and acceleration of motion is very unequally
<
lb
/>
contributed to its parts? </
s
>
<
s
>Certainly we muſt needs grant that
<
lb
/>
greater and more wonderful cauſes of the commotions in the
<
lb
/>
Water ought to be looked for. </
s
>
<
s
>And though it may ſeem
<
lb
/>
poſſible to ſome, that in artificial Machines and Veſſels we ſhould
<
lb
/>
be able to experiment the effects of ſuch an accident; yet
<
lb
/>
vertheleſſe it is not abſolutely impoſſible to be done; and I have
<
lb
/>
by me the model of an Engine, in which the effect of theſe
<
lb
/>
rable commixtions of motions may be particularly obſerved. </
s
>
<
s

<

as to what concerns our preſent purpoſe, that which you may

have hitherto comprehended with your imagination may

<

admirable accident ought neceſſarily to evene in the Straights of
<
lb

Seas, and eſpecially in thoſe that diſtend themſelves for a great
<
lb

length from Weſt to Eaſt; namely according to the courſe of
<

the motions of the Terreſtrial Globe; and as it is in a certain
<

manner unthought of, and without a preſident among the
<
lb

ons poſſible to be made by us, ſo it is not hard for me to believe,

that effects may be derived from the ſame, which are not to be

mitated by our artificial experiments.</
