Rocks and Mountains grow lower and lower, the Earth, 
Sand, &c. being wafti'd away, and born down by Rains,

are conftrained to omit here. 
The Sixth Part is concerning the ftate of the Earth, 
and the Produftions ot it, bek re the Deluge ; wherein 
heajTerts agamft the Author of tht Theory, thai the Face 
of the Aniidiluvian Eanh was not Imooih, but uneven, 
and diftinguifl\'d with Mountains, Valkys, and Plains, 
as alfo with Sea, Lakes, and Rivers : That the Sea was 
then of the tame Extent, ard intermixt with the Land, 
as now it is : That the Watv r of the Sea was fait, and 
that it was agitated with Tid«s, as at prefent : That the 
Sea was abundantly rtplenfh'd with Fifti, as were alfo 
the Lakes and Rivers,- and that the Earth was as plenti- 
fully flocktuith Vegetables and Animals : That the Ve- 
getables ana Animals of the Primitive Earth did not in 
any wife differ trcm thofe of the prefent Earth: That 
there were both Metals and Minerals in the Antedilu-

from Nature; and endeavours to fliew that Dr. Burftet 
in his Theory having in almoft all thefe Heads receded 
from the Mofakk Account, hath as manifeftly receded 
from Nature and Matter of Fad:. 
There are many very Curious and uncommon Re- 
marks in the fevejal Parts of this Book, concerning the
