fer iptioji might be made of 'the VVefi-coaft all along Europe and 
Africa; aad,on theoppofic fide, of thewholeEaft-coaftof

aifo when it is higheft water at the Points and in the Bayes; befides, 
how high the water rifeth, and how much it falls in every place ; 
and what is their longitude. And further, that thefe things might

nel of BngUnd^tms into Baltick or Eaft-Sea,and out again, though 
inperceptibly^and all t he Eafi:' Sea h^th Jaith he^ its ordinary Ebb, 
and Flood § which he not only undertakes to prove by the ftreani- 
of thtSinm Eot/jicu^ ^hutzdds^ tbatitmayeafily be perceived by 
the little Current between the, Faljler and Zealand Denmark^ 
which, he affirms, does orderly run Eaft and VVefl-, abfolving its 
Ebb and Flood infix hours. 
9. The manner how Ebb and Flood is effefied, depends, in our 
Author's opinion, (common to many others^ on the Moon; this 
Planet both helping and regulating the motion of the Sea: On 
which argument he is very large. 
10. The Country of Feroe is provided with many well-taftcd 
and wholfom Fountains, fpringing on high Hills.

fer$ ; abundance of Turf compenfatingthat defeft. 
1 2* The Air of feree is very temperate, in Winter as well as in 
Summer, though it lieth fo far North ; it feldom freezing there a 
month together ; and the froft then being not fo hard as to pro- 
duce Ice in the open Inlets: And Horfe and Sheep go into the 
Fields during the whole Winter. 
i3» No Thunder heard in?E?w all Summer, but in the Winter 
there is, which com.mooly is accompanied with great ftormsand 
rains. ^ . - 
14. The Air is wholfom there, free from contagious r^ifeafes 5 
which the Author faith are never found there, except they be 
brought in by infefted people. No Agues obferved there, nor 
Smail-poxes, except they come in from forreign parts. Only they 
are troubled with Rheums, Dyfenteries,theScurvy,and fometimes 
the Leprofy.
