the_o ocean_n and_o so_o circulate_v round_o 7._o first_o therefore_o that_o snow_n and_o rain-water_n shall_v give_v original_a to_o live_a spring_n as_o we_o call_v they_o can_v be_v because_o then_o upon_o deficiency_n of_o snow_n and_o rain-water_n as_o usual_o happen_v in_o long_a drought_n these_o spring_n will_v certain_o fail_v but_o we_o find_v the_o contrary_a viz._n that_o in_o long_o continue_v drought_n when_o all_o land-spring_n be_v thereby_o dry_v that_o yet_o the_o true_a quick_a spring_n be_v as_o fluent_a as_o ever_o ergo_fw-la they_o be_v not_o feed_v by_o snow_n or_o rain-water_n i_o can_v indeed_o deny_v but_o that_o quick-spring_n be_v not_o without_o their_o additional_a supply_n from_o land-spring_n which_o be_v feed_v by_o snow_n or_o rain-water_n and_o thereupon_o may_v in_o long_a drought_n have_v those_o auxiliaries_n draw_v off_o become_v less_o able_a to_o manage_v that_o strong_a current_n they_o have_v before_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o follow_v but_o that_o these_o spring_n when_o solitary_a fetch_v their_o original_a deep_a than_o rain_n water_n can_v sink_v 8._o yea_o suppose_v we_o shall_v grant_v that_o some_o few_o of_o these_o quick-spring_n shall_v for_o the_o generality_n of_o they_o do_v not_o prove_v deficient_a through_o long_a continue_a drought_n yet_o this_o may_v very_o probable_o happen_v upon_o a_o double_a account_n first_o because_o the_o quick-spring_n itself_o may_v be_v lengthen_v by_o the_o additional_a supply_n of_o a_o land-spring_n be_v suppose_v but_o a_o arm_n of_o that_o large_a channel_n which_o be_v carry_v under_o ground_n at_o a_o great_a distance_n to_o another_o spring_n of_o a_o more_o strong_a current_n and_o therefore_o a_o drought_n take_v away_o its_o auxiliary_n may_v thereby_o break_v off_o a_o arm_n and_o make_v it_o run_v in_o its_o strong_a single_a channel_n along_o the_o sabulum_fw-la bullien_n to_o a_o other_o springhead_n where_o it_o glide_v current_o away_o 9_o the_o next_o reason_n why_o some_o few_o quick-spring_n as_o i_o say_v may_v in_o long_a drought_n prove_v dry_v up_o be_v because_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v so_o exhaust_v of_o that_o natural_a moisture_n which_o shall_v supple_a it_o for_o vegetation_n and_o the_o like_a as_o that_o it_o imbibe_v it_o into_o its_o self_n like_o a_o sponge_n and_o the_o spring_n spend_v its_o stock_n to_o moisten_v the_o thirsty_a earth_n about_o it_o and_o so_o prove_v deficient_a in_o its_o current_n but_o when_o the_o earth_n become_v again_o satiate_v by_o irrigate_a shower_n then_o that_o which_o before_o be_v divert_v to_o moisten_v the_o earth_n find_v its_o channel_n again_o and_o run_v as_o fluent_o as_o ever_o 10._o the_o second_o reason_n why_o spring_n have_v not_o their_o original_a from_o snow_n and_o rain-water_n be_v because_o we_o find_v spring_n break_v forth_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o hill_n or_o mountain_n which_o flow_v even_o in_o the_o great_a drought_n now_o if_o rain-water_n shall_v at_o that_o season_n only_o supply_v they_o then_o of_o necessity_n upon_o want_n of_o rain_n and_o continuance_n of_o long_a drought_n these_o must_v be_v dry_v up_o yea_o and_o that_o very_o speedy_o too_o because_o they_o want_v a_o supply_n from_o their_o essential_a constituent_a cause_n which_o according_a to_o his_o thesis_n be_v snow_n or_o rain-water_n but_o by_o experience_n we_o find_v the_o contrary_a viz_o that_o quick-spring_n even_o in_o long_a drought_n do_v keep_v their_o current_n therefore_o snow_n and_o rain-water_n be_v not_o the_o constituent_a or_o efficient_a cause_n of_o quick-spring_n 11._o the_o three_o reason_n that_o make_v i_o scruple_n the_o veracity_n of_o this_o hypothesis_n be_v because_o neither_o the_o dr._n nor_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o assertor_n thereof_o have_v due_o assign_v the_o manner_n or_o method_n the_o pipe_n channel_n or_o conduit_n how_o spring_n have_v

truth_n of_o the_o assertion_n they_o shall_v not_o rather_o always_o be_v thrust_v down_o into_o valley_n and_o confine_v to_o low_a declive_a place_n as_o be_v more_o proper_a for_o the_o heavy_a body_n of_o water_n according_a to_o their_o own_o supposition_n of_o its_o be_v next_o in_o weight_n to_o earth_n to_o descend_v then_o contrary_a as_o they_o say_v to_o the_o nature_n thereof_o to_o
