our_o spring_n and_o river_n do_v receive_v great_a supply_n of_o water_n from_o the_o air_n where_o vapour_n be_v congeal_v by_o cold_a do_v fall_v down_o upon_o the_o earth_n in_o rain_n or_o snow_n or_o hail_n whereby_o the_o ground_n be_v not_o only_o make_v fertile_a but_o our_o spring_n be_v revive_v and_o our_o river_n increase_v air._n as_o we_o see_v the_o rhine_n and_o danubius_n to_o

river_n which_o have_v their_o original_n from_o thence_o up_o to_o the_o brink_n also_o we_o see_v daily_o after_o much_o rain_n our_o small_a lake_n and_o river_n to_o be_v very_o high_a also_o upon_o much_o dryth_v our_o spring_n fail_v we_o in_o many_o place_n which_o upon_o store_n of_o rain_n do_v supply_v we_o again_o with_o water_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o in_o most_o part_n of_o africa_n near_o the_o equinoctial_a where_o it_o rain_v little_a they_o have_v little_a water_n and_o many_o time_n in_o two_o or_o three_o day_n journey_n can_v hardly_o find_v to_o

but_o a_o brook_n do_v drink_v it_o dry_a so_o that_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o earth_n receive_v much_o water_n this_o way_n but_o how_o this_o shall_v serve_v the_o bowel_n of_o the_o

as_o it_o will_v be_v powder_v then_o pour_v upon_o it_o pure_a spirit_n of_o wine_n which_o will_v dissolve_v no_o salt_n if_o it_o be_v without_o phlegm_n by_o this_o mean_n throng_v often_o
