Walton Nejf on the other fide oi xhQ jP.fltiarwnr^ which- 
is 501*6 miles broad from Harwich^ aslikewife at Bawd^ 
fey Cliff in St/folk^ which is 8 or 9 miles difrant, and in 
other Chlfs on that Shore, where I have met with them. 
A iecond Queftion may here be askt, How it ccrres to 
pals that none of thofe Bmcina Hcterojiropha, ^whereof 
iuch plenty of their Exuv7£ are in aU the.ClifFs herea- 
bouts) are not now to be found irf this Channel, nor the 
adjacent Seas ? (where I have divers tim^s been a fi(h- 
ing) for I cannot think the clearing this Harbour could 
have deftroyed ail that fpecies of Shell-Fifh, whereof 
there was then fucb plenty 5 and therefore lome other 
Original rnuft be allow d them, than what this Author 
has affign d. Nor can I ^llow the Harbotir here to be Av' 
tifcial^ becaufe fo great a work as thisis, viz. the making 
a Channel 2 miles wide, ?s it is in this place,, would not 
have been- without fome Record thereof in Hiftory, and 
befidesj the Earth, e^r. which muft arife by this work, 
muft cgnfequently have made a much greater ^^iil 
than the Cliff ever was ^ and anotljer doubt will from 
hence arife, why the Workmen (hould bring all the, 
Farth, &c, to this fide the Channel, and not lay fome 
thereof on the other, as its plain they did not. 
The ground on which Landguard F^?r/ (lands, as far as 
XValionCoknefs^ which is about 3 miles, is oQly a Sandy 
'Level or- Beach, which I believe hath in time fubfided 
there, as may be obferved at the mouths of other great 
Rivers. And as to the Argument which our Auiljor 
brings of Ldndguard Fort being accounted to ftand in 
£jfex^ to confirm his Hypothefis of the change of this 
Channel, it will be of no force with any one which 
doth but obferve, thottiot only parts of Parifties, .but 
likevvife of Counties, are often divided from thofe Pa- 
rifhes and Counties to which they belong, and included 
in others, of which I could give you mapy inftances, (f,g. 
a part of Kent h on xhtEjfex M-^ xh^Thar^jes '-^ and in 
Oxfovd'
