most_o wonderful_a thing_n be_v that_o the_o creator_n have_v set_v such_o a_o correspondency_n in_o many_o point_n betwixt_o the_o fish_n and_o beast_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o it_o seem_v he_o will_v represent_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o so_o we_o see_v also_o that_o many_o name_n of_o earthly_a beast_n be_v give_v to_o many_o fish_n because_o of_o the_o

sometime_o downward_o earthquake_n of_o diverse_a sort_n of_o earthquake_n and_o it_o be_v long_o of_o such_o motion_n and_o tremble_n that_o there_o have_v such_o mass_n and_o heap_n be_v cast_v

say_v that_o the_o proverb_n be_v not_o ever_o true_a which_o say_v that_o two_o mountain_n never_o meet_v there_o be_v yet_o another_o kind_n of_o motion_n wherein_o the_o earth_n move_v and_o shake_v sometime_o one_o way_n sometime_o another_o way_n and_o totter_v like_o a_o ship_n that_o float_v on_o the_o water_n which_o kind_n of_o tremble_v be_v most_o dangerous_a as_o also_o when_o all_o the_o motion_n run_v one_o way_n then_o be_v there_o yet_o another_o motion_n which_o philosopher_n proper_o call_v tremble_v to_o wit_n when_o two_o motion_n be_v opposite_a one_o to_o
