Excerpt: ...the appulfe of the Moon to the meridian under the horizon, and laftly the greateft ebb in Q, at the 3d hour after the rifing of the Moon; and the latter flood in f, will be lefs than the preceding flood in F. For the whole Sea is divided into two huge and hemifoherical floods, one in the hemifphere K. H k C, on the north-fide, the other in the oppofite hemifphere K H k C, which we may therefore call the northern and the fbuth-ern floods. Thefe floods being always oppofite the one to the other, come by turns to the meridians of all places after the interval of i1 lunar hours. And feeing the northern countries partake more of the northern flood, and the fouthern countries more of the fouth-ern flood, thence arife tides alternately greater and lefs in all places without the equator, in which the luminaries rife and and fee.
