This Chapter is made up of eight Objections, against his own Hypothesis.
And those that have a mind to see them, may read them in the Author. I
have taken as much Notice of them as I thought necessary, in the
precedent Chapter; and therefore leave the Exceptor now to deal with
them all together. I omitted one Objection (_p._ 311.) concerning the
shutting up of the Abyss, and the Fountains of the Abyss, because it was
answer`d before in the _English_ Theory, _p._ 143. namely, there were
Fountains in the Abyss, as much as Windows in Heaven; and those were
shut up, as well as these; that is, ceas’d to act, and were put into a
Condition to continue the Deluge no longer.
