the_o reason_n why_o the_o tide_n in_o some_o place_n do_v move_v swift_a than_o in_o other_o namely_o because_o the_o sea_n be_v more_o shallow_a there_o and_o therefore_o ship_n arrive_v near_o the_o shore_n make_v a_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o tide_n than_o far_o from_o it_o the_o flood_n be_v common_o weak_a and_o slow_a near_o the_o shore_n and_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o these_o

middle_n of_o the_o ocean_n the_o flood_n or_o rather_o intumescence_n be_v strong_a and_o swift_a than_o the_o ebb_n or_o detumescence_n because_o the_o universal_a bore_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o flood_n or_o intumescence_n of_o the_o water_n do_v cause_v a_o great_a impulse_n of_o the_o water_n atop_o through_o her_o presence_n than_o when_o she_o be_v quite_o pass_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o ship_n sail_v from_o east-india_n westward_o do_v over_o run_v a_o large_a tract_n in_o one_o six_o hour_n of_o the_o intumescence_n than_o the_o other_o six_o of_o detumescence_n those_o

that_o the_o irish_a sea_n be_v direct_o opposite_a from_o the_o north_n to_o the_o ocean_n do_v undergo_v more_o violent_a tide_n than_o other_o because_o they_o receive_v the_o squeeze_v or_o
