Flowe.

When the water doth rise or heighten, we say it doth flow: But note, that ever in all places (Seas or Rivers) where it flowes, it flowes by the shore, before it flowes in the offing or midle of the streame, and so it doth ebbe by the shore, before it doth in the streame; the reason is, for that the water is of most force and weight where it is deepest, and so is hardlier returned, being once bent away: When we say it flowes at London-bridge, South-west, or at any other place South or West, or as it happens: by this is meant, that when the Moone is at the full, or else new Moone, then upon that day, the Sun being in the South-west point, which is three of the clock in the after-noone, it is high wa∣ter at London-bridge.
