ning Water is reputed in ſome ſenſe infinite, in that it never cea
<
lb
/>
ſeth to move away, and as infinite is judged incomprehenſible;
<
lb
/>
and ſuch as that there is no exact knowledge to be had thereof;
<
lb
/>
& ſo there comes to be no account made thereof; but if we ſhould
<
lb
/>
make ſtrict reflection upon our conſideration of the velocity of
<
lb
/>
Water, we ſhould find, that keeping account of the ſame, there
<
lb
/>
is a reckoning alſo made of the length; foraſmuch as whilſt we
<
lb
/>
ſay, the Water of ſuch a Spring runs with the velocity of paſſing
<
lb
/>
a thouſand or two thouſand paces an hour: this in ſubſtance is
<
lb
/>
no other than if we had ſaid, ſuch a Fountain diſchargeth in an
<
lb
/>
hour a Water of a thouſand or two thouſand paces long. </
s

<
s
>So
<
lb
/>
that, albeit the total length of Running water be incomprehen
<
lb
/>
ſible, as being infinite, yet nevertheleſſe its rendered intelligible
<
lb
/>
by parts in its velocity. </
s

<
s
>And ſo much ſufficeth to have hinted
<
lb
/>
about this matter, hoping to impart on ſome other occaſion other
<
lb
/>
more accurate Obſervations in this affair.</
