As of a River in _Epirus_, that puts out any lighted Torch, and kindles any Torch that was not lighted. Of the River _Selarus_, that in a few hours turns a rod or a wand into stone (and our _Camden_ mentions the like wonder in _England_:) that there is a River in _Arabia_, of which all the Sheep that drink thereof have their Wool turned into a Vermilion colour. And one of no less credit then _Aristotle_, [in his Wonders of nature, this is confirmed by _Ennius_ and _Solon_ in his holy History.] tels us of a merry River, the River _Elusina_, that dances at the noise of Musick, that with Musick it bubbles, dances, and growes sandy, but returns to a wonted calmness and clearness when the Musick ceases. And lastly, (for I would not tire your patience) _Josephus_, that learned _Jew_, tells us of a River in _Judea_, that runs and moves swiftly all the six dayes of the week, and stands still and rests upon their _Sabbath_ day.

Wherefore, most Sacred Spirit, I here present For me, and all my fellows praise to thee: And just it is that I should pay the rent, Because the benefit accrues to me. And as concerning _Fish_, in that Psalm [Psal. 104], wherein, for height of Poetry and Wonders, the Prophet _David_ seems even to exceed himself; how doth he there express himselfe in choice Metaphors, even to the amazement of a contemplative Reader, concerning the Sea, the Rivers, and the Fish therein contained. And the great Naturallist _Pliny_ sayes, "[That Natures great and wonderful power is more demonstrated in the Sea, then on the Land.]" And this may appear by the numerous and various Creatures, inhabiting both in and about that Element: as to the Readers of _Gesner, Randelitius, Pliny, Aristotle_, and others is demonstrated: But I will sweeten this discourse also out of a contemplation in Divine _Dubartas_, who sayes [in the fifth day],
