Whether

〈◊〉
NAture
our
prouident
mother
,
hath
carefully
prouided
for
euery
seuerall
creature
,
seuerall
meanes
for
their
preseruation
in
their
seuerall
kindes
:
as
vnto
those
creatures
which
haue
their
lyuing
in
the
inmost
bowels
of
the
earth
,
or
other
such
places
far
remote
from
the
daunger
of
water
,
to
those
hath
she
not
imparted
this
knowledge
,
for
that
is
a
thing
to
them
altogether
impertinent
,
but
to
other
her
creatures
,
eyther
those
whose
continuall
aboade
is
in
the
deepes
,
as
Fishes
,
Foules
,
and
some
Beastes
that
liue
in
the
water
,
or
to
other
which
in
the
actions
of
their
liues
,
doe
any
waies
tend
towards
the
waters
,
on
them
,
for
their
better
preseruation
hath
shee
bestowed
this
great
gift
,
yet
not
to
euery
creatur●
alike
,
but
what
Element
doth
most
abound
in
the
composition
of
their
bodies
,
according
to
the
qualitie
therof
is
their
kinde
of
Swimming
.
As
for
example
,
a
Toade
hath
a
broader
body
then
a
Frog
,
and
to
mans
iudgement
more
fitte
to
swimme
,
and
yet
because
her
complection
is
more
earthly
and
therefore
heauier
by
nature
,
and
féedeth
vpon
the
sollid
poyson
of
the
earth
,
either
presently
after
shee
commeth
into
the
water
,
sinketh
right
downe
,
or
if
the
doe
remaine
any
time
vpon
the
superficies
of
the
water
,
it
is
with
great
labour
,
whereas
a
frog
feeding
on
the
aierie
dewe
that
lyeth
vpon
the
grasse
,
pleasantlie
playeth
vpon
the
water
,
liuely
representing
the
true
Swimming
of
a
man
.
The
like
reasons
is
of
the
Foules
of
the
ayre
,
as
the
Swallowes
that
feede
vpon
the
slender
buzzing
Flies
of
the
ayre
,
they
nimblier
flye
to
and
fro
,
and
lightlier
drinke
on
the
toppe
of
the
water
,
then
other
Foules
,
that
eyther
feede
on
the
wormes
of
the
earth
,
or
the
Fishes
of
the
Sea
.
And
euen
as
the
liuelesse
truncks
which
in
theyr
constitution
,
haue
a
greater
temperature
of
ayre
or
fire
,
then
of
water
or
earth
,
are
of
theyr
owne
accord
carried
aboue
the
water
,
as
wood
and
such
like
,
and
on
the
contrary
,
heauy
constitutions
of
water
or
earth
,
as
lead
,
iron
,
stone
,
and
such
,
directly
settle
downe
to
the
bottom
,
so
is
it
with
all
creatures
that
haue
life
,
as
the
Lyon
the
beast
of
the
sunne
,
and
king
of
the
Forrest
,
because
he
is
of
a
sanguine
complexion
,
a
hot
constitution
,
nimble
of
his
ioynts
,
and
of
a
noble
courage
,
swims
lightly
,
and
strongly
,
and
so
of
the
dogge
,
and
other
creatures
,
whose
constitution
is
a
lower
degrée
of
heate
.
But
some
kindes
of
Foules
,
although
they
bee
of
a
good
constitution
of
body
,
yet
for
some
impediment
in
their
forme
,
are
hindered
and
doe
not
swimme
so
well
as
other
,
whose
bodies
are
more
grosse
,
as
the
Cock
which
is
the
bird
of
the
sunne
,
for
that
he
wanteth
(
as
we
call
them
)
the
webs
of
his
feete
,
swimmeth
not
so
easily
as
a
Duck
which
is
more
melancholy
and
heauy
by
nature
,
according
to
the
disposition
of
Saturne
.
Man
swimmeth
by
nature
.
THe
Fishes
in
the
Sea
,
whose
continuall
life
is
spent
in
the
water
,
in
them
dooth
no
man
denie
swimming
to
be
the
onely
gift
which
Nature
hath
bestowed
vpon
them
,
and
shall
wee
thinke
it
then
artificiall
in
a
man
,
which
in
it
dooth
by
many
degrees
excell
them
,
as
dyuing
downe
to
the
bottoms
of
the
deepest
waters
,
and
fetching
from
thence
whatsoeuer
is
there
sunck
downe
,
transporting
things
to
and
fro
at
his
pleasure
,
sitting
,
tumbling
,
leaping
,
walking
,
and
at
his
ease
perfourmeth
many
fine
feates
in
the
water
,
which
far
exceeds
the
naturall
gifts
bestowed
on
Fishes
?
nay
so
fit
is
the
constitution
of
mans
body
,
that
who
so
dooth
but
with
himselfe
throughly
consider
of
it
,
cannot
but
accord
with
mee
in
thys
,
that
a
man
of
all
creatures
vnder
the
circumference
of
heauen
,
naturally
excelleth
in
swimming
.
As
for
example
,
a
shaft
shotte
in
the
water
,
when
it
riseth
againe
,
hangeth
perpendicularly
downeward
with
the
head
,
and
the
vpper
parts
and
feathers
swim
aboue
the
water
,
euen
so
is
it
with
a
man
,
who
although
the
lower
parts
of
his
body
be
earthly
,
and
heauy
,
yet
aboue
is
the
life
of
liues
,
the
vitall
spyrits
,
the
externall
&
internall
scences
,
to
be
short
,
the
life
spirits
of
euery
man
,
exceedeth
the
liues
of
all
Beasts
,
for
that
they
only
retayne
the
vigitable
and
sensuall
powers
,
the
one
whereby
they
grow
and
increase
,
and
the
other
whereby
they
heare
,
feele
,
see
,
smell
,
and
taste
.
But
in
man
is
all
these
,
whose
least
part
exceedeth
the
greatest
quantity
of
the
other
in
the
highest
degrée
,
a
reasonable
soule
:
so
that
hee
hath
not
onely
in
great
measure
the
other
helpes
,
which
Nature
hath
prouided
for
this
purpose
,
but
he
hath
wisdome
,
by
Arte
to
perfect
that
in
himselfe
,
which
by
nature
is
left
vnperfect
:
and
hauing
plaine
rules
of
Arte
,
howe
by
motion
to
keepe
vp
the
heauy
parts
of
his
body
,
which
by
reason
of
theyr
heauines
are
naturally
carried
downe
,
it
cannot
otherwise
be
,
but
that
swimming
must
naturally
come
to
a
man
:
and
in
swimming
he
must
excell
all
creatures
whatsoeuer
.
But
for
some
will
obiect
,
that
if
swimming
were
so
naturall
a
thing
to
a
man
,
then
should
not
so
many
perish
in
the
water
,
to
these
in
a
word
I
thus
answere
:
that
men
who
haue
not
had
some
practise
in
it
afore
,
when
by
any
sinister
occasion
they
fall
into
the
water
,
the
discreet
vse
of
their
sences
is
taken
away
by
a
suddaine
feare
,
and
so
vnorderly
labouring
in
the
water
,
they
by
the
indirect
moouing
of
their
bodyes
pull
downe
themselues
vnder
the
water
,
and
so
are
drowned
,
which
to
auoyde
I
leaue
it
to
euery
seuerall
mans
consideration
,
how
necessarie
a
thing
this
Art
of
Swimming
is
.
Of
the
place
and
time
to
swimme
.
OF
all
the
circumstances
which
the
Authour
of
this
our
Art
hath
in
his
first
booke
learnedly
set
down
,
as
necessarie
antecedents
before
he
enter
into
the
practise
it selfe
,
I
hold
these
two
sufficient
for
the
vnlearned
sort
to
knowe
,
(
time
and
place
,
)
and
leaue
the
rest
to
their
wise
considerations
which
are
able
throughly
to
vnderstand
the
Latine
tongue
.
The
time
which
the
temperature
of
this
our
clymate
affords
as
good
to
swimme
in
,
is
comprehended
in
foure
monethes
,
May
,
Iune
,
Iuly
,
and
August
,
for
that
in
these
monethes
the
Sunne
drawing
nearer
vnto
our
Zenith
,
his
beames
falling
more
directly
downe
vpon
the
superficies
of
this
earth
,
make
a
greater
reflection
,
and
thence
commeth
a
more
vehement
heate
,
which
dooth
temperate
the
water
,
and
make
wholsome
the
ayre
.
The
winde
and
weather
ought
also
in
these
moneths
to
be
regarded
,
especially
of
those
whose
weake
constitution
,
is
not
so
able
to
endure
the
cold
,
as
others
of
a
stronger
composition
of
bodie
.
The
windes
that
are
most
vnwholsome
and
daungerous
to
swimme
in
,
is
the
East
and
North
,
for
that
blowing
from
cold
and
drie
places
,
they
bring
diuers
and
sundrie
discommodities
.
The
weather
that
is
to
be
eschewed
is
rayne
,
for
these
considerations
,
the
droppes
doe
trouble
the
superficies
of
the
water
hurteth
the
bodie
,
disturbeth
the
eyes
,
and
lastly
,
drayning
from
the
bancks
into
the
Riuer
,
bringeth
also
with
it
,
whatsoeuer
dunge
,
strawe
,
leaues
,
and
what
filth
or
vnwholsome
things
else
,
doe
lie
neare
adioyning
vnto
the
place
.
In
the
place
is
two
things
especially
to
be
respected
,
first
,
that
the
bancks
bee
not
ouergrowen
with
ranck
thicke
grasse
,
where
oft-times
,
doe
lie
and
lurke
many
stinging
Serpents
,
and
poysoned
Toades
:
not
full
of
thornes
,
bryers
,
stubbes
,
or
thistles
,
which
may
offend
the
bare
feete
,
but
that
the
grasse
be
short
,
thinne
,
and
greene
,
the
bancke
beset
with
shadie
trees
,
which
may
be
a
shelter
from
the
winde
,
and
a
shadowe
from
the
parching
heate
of
the
Sunne
.
Next
that
the
water
it selfe
bee
cleare
,
not
troubled
with
any
kinde
of
slymie
filth
,
which
is
very
infectious
to
the
skinne
,
that
the
breadth
,
depth
,
and
length
therof
be
sufficiently
knowne
,
that
it
be
not
muddie
at
the
bottome
,
least
by
much
treading
the
filth
rising
vp
from
the
bottome
,
thicken
the
water
,
and
so
make
it
vnfitte
for
that
purpose
.
Also
that
there
be
not
in
the
bottome
of
the
Riuer
any
olde
stakes
or
sharpe
stones
,
which
may
greatly
indaunger
the
Swimmer
,
but
that
it
be
a
cleare
running
water
,
not
a
standing
corrupted
poole
,
the
bottome
faire
sande
,
where
from
the
bancks
may
easily
be
perceaued
,
whatsoeuer
doth
lye
in
the
deepest
place
of
the
Riuer
.
Which
tyme
and
place
,
according
to
these
rules
and
directions
when
he
hath
fitly
selected
,
let
him
asociate
himselfe
with
some
one
that
is
taller
and
stronger
then
himselfe
,
which
may
both
comfort
him
,
and
helpe
to
sustaine
him
,
for
that
at
the
first
enterance
,
the
chilnes
of
the
water
will
greatly
discomfort
him
:
as
also
he
may
thereby
be
better
directed
where
the
water
is
deepe
,
and
where
it
is
shallowe
.
But
if
so
be
that
he
for
any
extraordinarie
occasion
,
or
other
reason
whatsoeuer
,
rather
delight
to
be
alone
then
thus
,
let
him
take
a
longe
rod
like
vnto
an
angle
,
and
vpon
the
end
thereof
,
hange
in
a
long
small
corde
a
plummet
of
lead
,
wherewith
hee
may
standing
vpon
the
bancke
,
sound
euery
place
of
the
water
,
and
if
he
cannot
reach
the
further
side
with
his
pole
,
boldlie
venturing
so
far
into
the
water
,
as
by
this
direction
he
hath
experienced
,
he
may
reach
further
and
further
,
vntill
he
hath
tried
it
all
,
which
if
he
finde
correspondent
in
euery
point
to
the
rules
before
rehearsed
,
and
that
there
be
not
any
suddaine
or
plum
falling
downe
into
any
great
holes
,
which
exceede
his
owne
height
,
nor
any
whirlpooles
,
as
we
call
them
,
or
kinde
of
swift
or
violent
streames
,
that
may
forcely
carry
him
away
,
let
him
there
practise
,
according
to
these
rules
following
:
and
venture
not
into
any
other
vnknown
place
,
vntill
hee
be
a
perfect
practisioner
in
this
Art
.
Thus
much
for
the
time
&
place
.
For
the
maner
of
his
going
into
the
Riuer
,
it
must
not
be
sweating
,
(
a
thing
whereunto
in
the
heate
of
Sommer
men
are
greatlie
subiect
,
)
for
that
comming
into
the
cold
water
it
maketh
a
suddaine
chaunge
in
body
,
which
is
very
daungerous
,
but
rather
by
walking
easily
in
some
coole
shade
,
or
some
such
other
moderate
meanes
,
let
him
before
hee
enter
into
the
water
bring
his
bodie
into
a
reasonable
temperature
of
heate
and
cold
,
and
then
,
not
as
some
which
are
more
bold
then
wise
,
rudely
leape
into
the
water
with
their
féete
downwarde
,
as
this
picture
next
following
sheweth
.
Or
when
he
commeth
at
the
side
,
fall
in
vpon
his
right
or
left
side
,
after
this
fashion
.
Or
else
leaping
from
the
banck
,
and
casting
forth
his
leggs
(
but
yet
keeping
of
them
close
together
)
hee
may
light
vpon
his
hippes
,
and
the
hinder
parts
of
his
leggs
,
as
you
sée
in
this
picture
.
To
swimme
on
the
back
.
But
for
that
with
long
swimming
on
his
belly
,
he
will
be
wearied
,
Nature
that
prouident
nurse
,
which
carefully
prouideth
for
euery
creature
things
fitting
their
kinde
,
hath
as
in
all
things
,
so
in
this
thing
made
man
excell
euery
thing
:
for
hym
hath
the
taught
in
this
to
ease
his
wearie
armes
,
by
lying
in
the
water
vpon
his
backe
,
which
we
call
Swimming
vpon
the
back
.
A
gift
which
shee
hath
denied
euen
to
the
watrie
inhabitants
of
the
Sea
,
no
Fish
,
no
Foule
,
nor
other
creature
whatsoeuer
,
that
hath
any
lyuing
or
being
,
either
in
the
depth
of
the
Sea
,
or
superficies
of
the
water
,
swimmeth
vpon
his
backe
,
man
onely
excepted
:
and
therefore
,
when
he
hath
perfectly
learned
to
swim
to
and
fro
on
his
bellie
as
hee
lifteth
,
let
him
learne
thus
to
turne
vpon
his
backe
,
by
thrusting
out
his
right
hand
as
far
as
he
can
before
him
,
and
withall
,
turne
ouer
his
left
side
▪
and
still
keepe
out
his
right
hand
,
vntill
he
be
turned
vpon
his
backe
,
for
that
it
doth
in
turning
so
,
support
him
from
sincking
,
as
in
this
example
following
.
And
when
he
is
thus
layd
vpon
his
back
,
he
must
lie
very
straight
,
not
bending
or
bowing
with
his
bodie
any
way
,
saue
onely
his
legs
,
which
he
must
easily
pull
out
and
in
,
as
when
he
was
on
his
belly
,
to
put
him
forwards
in
the
water
,
as
thus
.
To
turne
in
the
water
like
a
Roach
.
There
is
an
other
kinde
of
turning
when
a
man
is
swimming
vpon
his
belly
,
with
his
head
one
way
,
suddainly
to
turne
himselfe
,
stil
being
vpon
his
belly
,
&
bring
about
his
head
and
all
his
body
the
other
way
:
and
for
that
it
is
to
be
done
quickly
(
as
oft
times
you
may
see
the
fishes
within
the
water
,
when
in
the
pleasant
heate
of
Sommer
they
wantonly
friske
to
and
fro
,
)
it
is
commonly
called
the
Koach
turne
,
and
that
is
done
thus
,
if
he
will
turne
towards
the
right
hand
,
hee
must
suddainely
put
the
water
from
him
with
his
left
hand
,
and
pull
that
water
behinde
towards
him
with
his
right
hand
,
turning
backe
his
head
and
his
bodie
as
you
see
in
this
next
figure
.
To
turne
the
Bell
turne
in
the
water
.
There
is
also
a
turning
which
is
called
the
bell
turne
,
as
when
one
swimming
one
his
bellie
shall
suddainely
pull
in
his
féete
,
and
in
stead
of
striking
with
them
as
is
afore
sayd
,
he
shall
heauing
backward
with
his
foreparts
,
strike
forward
with
his
feete
,
which
motion
will
turne
him
vpon
his
backe
:
and
because
he
may
at
his
pleasure
turne
so
vpon
his
backe
and
belly
as
hee
will
,
it
is
called
the
bell
turne
,
resembling
also
a
bell
when
it
is
ringing
,
as
for
example
.
To
tumble
in
the
water
.
There
is
also
a
kinde
of
tumbling
in
the
water
,
as
a
man
would
roule
and
tumble
in
the
grasse
,
and
that
is
doone
thus
,
swimming
on
his
belly
or
backe
,
which
way
hée
meaneth
to
roule
himselfe
,
as
towards
the
right
hand
or
the
left
,
hee
must
thrust
that
hand
broad-wayes
downe
into
the
water
,
with
the
palme
downward
,
and
hee
must
carry
the
other
close
beside
him
,
as
ready
to
vse
so
vpon
the
other
side
:
and
with
the
vppermost
legge
still
as
hee
turneth
,
strike
the
superficies
of
the
water
,
so
that
the
motion
with
the
hande
helpeth
to
turne
ouer
the
body
,
and
the
striking
with
the
feet
,
keepeth
better
vp
the
hindmost
parts
,
which
are
most
heauie
of
themselues
,
as
in
this
picture
following
.
To
strike
the
superficies
of
the
water
.
To
strike
the
superficies
of
the
water
with
foure
parts
of
the
body
at
twice
,
is
thus
doone
,
by
lying
vpon
your
backe
,
and
somthing
declining
your
body
towards
the
left
side
,
which
hand
must
bee
in
the
water
,
labouring
to
and
fro
like
the
finne
of
a
Fishe
,
to
keepe
him
from
sinking
:
and
so
may
hee
lift
his
right
hand
and
right
legge
out
of
the
water
,
and
beate
them
downe
againe
,
and
so
of
the
left
side
,
as
the
picture
following
sheweth
.
To
swim
with
hands
and
feete
vpward
.
To
swim
with
hands
and
feete
vpward
,
is
nothing
els
but
the
swimming
vpon
the
back
,
as
wee
taught
before
,
sauing
that
hée
vseth
his
hands
as
a
boate
dooth
her
Dares
,
casting
them
out
on
both
sides
,
and
drawing
them
in
againe
,
which
maketh
hys
motion
swifter
,
as
in
this
example
.
To
swimme
backward
.
That
is
,
when
one
lying
vpon
his
back
with
his
body
stretched
foorth
,
and
holding
vp
his
breast
as
much
as
hée
can
,
that
his
back
may
lie
hollow
,
which
will
keepe
him
from
sincking
,
and
lifting
easily
one
foote
after
another
aboue
the
water
,
and
so
drawing
them
forceably
towards
him
vnder
the
water
,
they
will
pul
his
body
backward
,
as
in
this
example
is
shewed
.
To
roule
vpon
ones
backe
.
This
is
done
onely
by
lying
straight
vpon
his
backe
,
&
pressing
downe
the
water
with
his
hands
,
so
may
he
roule
from
side
to
side
,
like
a
ship
in
the
Sea
,
as
thus
.
To
make
a
circle
in
the
water
with
his
feete
.
This
is
done
as
we
saide
afore
,
by
lying
straight
vpon
his
backe
,
without
bending
any
part
of
his
body
,
&
if
he
will
turne
from
the
right
hand
,
then
must
he
lie
somewhat
ouer
vpon
hys
left
side
,
and
first
of
all
pull
his
right
legge
out
of
the
water
,
and
afterwards
his
left
as
fast
as
he
can
,
and
strike
with
them
toward
the
left
hand
,
one
after
another
,
and
about
one
foote
,
one
before
another
,
which
will
turne
his
bodie
round
,
and
make
his
head
lye
in
the
midst
,
like
the
center
of
a
circle
,
as
thus
.
To
stand
vpright
,
and
turne
about
in
the
water
.
He
must
by
stirring
of
his
feete
vp
and
downe
in
the
water
keepe
vp
his
bodie
,
and
keeping
his
hands
vnderneath
the
water
,
pull
the
water
towards
him
,
that
way
which
he
would
turne
,
and
so
also
incline
the
motion
of
his
feete
,
as
thus
.
To
swimme
with
his
hands
together
.
This
must
be
done
in
all
respects
,
as
is
saide
afore
for
the
first
kinde
of
swimming
vpon
the
belly
,
sauing
the
motion
of
the
hands
,
which
must
be
ioyned
with
their
palmes
together
,
the
thombs
standing
right
vpward
,
which
he
must
pull
in
to
his
brest
,
and
thrust
them
forth
againe
,
without
parting
of
them
,
as
for
example
.
To
swimme
vpon
his
side
.
This
kinde
of
swimming
,
though
it
be
more
laborious
,
yet
is
it
swifter
then
any
of
the
rest
,
for
that
lying
vpon
one
side
,
striking
with
your
feete
as
when
you
swimme
on
your
bellie
,
but
that
the
pulling
in
and
thrusting
out
of
his
hand
,
which
then
did
onely
keepe
him
vp
,
doe
now
helpe
to
put
him
forward
:
for
onely
the
lower
hand
supporteth
his
bodie
,
and
the
vpper
hand
roweth
like
an
Dare
,
as
in
this
example
.
To
swimme
vpon
his
belly
with
his
hands
still
.
This
is
onely
to
lay
his
hands
behinde
him
,
and
straine
himselfe
to
beare
his
head
somewhat
higher
,
and
strike
somewhat
lower
with
his
feete
,
as
in
the
picture
following
is
shewed
.
To
swimme
with
one
hand
,
and
one
foote
vpon
his
belly
.
He
must
take
his
right
foote
backwards
in
his
left
hand
,
and
strike
with
his
right
hand
and
left
foote
,
which
for
that
one
is
vpon
the
one
side
,
and
the
other
on
the
other
,
they
will
easilie
beare
him
vp
,
as
thus
.
The
vse
of
these
two
last
kindes
of
swimming
,
is
to
ease
his
handes
that
is
subiect
to
the
Crampe
,
or
any
other
infirmitie
.
To
swim
like
a
dog
.
Into
this
kinde
of
swimming
many
doe
at
the
first
fall
,
before
they
perfectly
learne
the
right
stroake
,
and
there
is
this
difference
betwixt
them
,
that
whereas
in
the
right
kinde
,
he
strettheth
out
his
hands
&
his
feete
,
in
this
hee
rudely
beateth
the
water
with
his
hands
and
féete
:
first
lifting
his
right
hand
out
of
the
water
,
and
then
his
right
foote
,
and
forceably
striking
them
into
the
water
againe
,
as
in
this
example
following
.
To
beate
the
water
.
This
is
done
swimming
vpon
his
backe
,
and
lying
straight
out
with
his
bodie
,
the
palmes
of
his
hands
being
downward
,
and
moouing
vp
and
downe
in
the
water
to
keepe
him
vp
:
so
may
he
lift
out
either
one
or
other
of
his
legges
,
and
beate
with
it
vpon
the
superficies
of
the
water
at
his
pleasure
,
as
thus
.
To
play
aboue
the
water
with
one
foote
.
This
is
all
one
with
the
next
precedent
,
sauing
that
in
stead
of
striking
his
legge
right
downe
into
the
water
,
hee
must
turning
it
about
three
or
foure
times
,
onely
but
touch
the
very
superficies
of
the
water
with
his
toe
,
as
in
this
example
.
To
showe
his
toes
aboue
the
water
.
This
is
also
done
by
lying
straight
vpon
his
backe
,
stretching
out
his
feete
together
at
length
,
and
moouing
with
his
hands
in
the
water
,
as
in
the
former
example
:
and
so
lifting
vp
his
seete
,
ti●l
he
hath
brought
all
his
toes
aboue
the
water
,
as
thus
.
To
hang
by
the
chinne
in
the
water
.
When
he
is
swimming
vpon
his
backe
,
let
his
féete
sincke
easilie
downe
towards
the
bottome
,
and
with
all
,
let
him
striue
as
much
as
in
him
lies
,
to
bend
in
his
back
,
bowing
backwards
his
head
,
vntill
his
face
be
the
vppermost
parte
of
his
bodie
,
and
then
drawe
his
féete
somewhat
vpwards
,
his
hands
holden
behinde
his
backe
,
and
his
body
bending
also
that
wayes
like
vnto
a
bowe
:
so
that
the
water
working
vp
and
downe
in
the
concauitie
of
his
backe
,
will
so
easily
hold
vp
his
bodie
,
that
he
shall
not
néede
to
stirre
either
with
hand
or
foote
,
as
thus
.
To
tread
the
water
.
This
is
onely
standing
bolt
vp
,
as
it
were
in
the
water
,
and
pulling
vp
your
féete
,
and
thrusting
them
downe
againe
,
after
the
same
maner
as
he
doth
swimming
vpon
his
belly
,
which
haue
the
same
force
to
keepe
him
that
way
,
which
they
haue
to
thrust
him
forwards
the
other
way
,
as
you
may
sée
in
this
picture
next
following
.
To
swimme
with
one
hand
and
one
foote
vpon
his
backe
.
This
is
the
same
vpon
the
backe
,
which
the
other
was
vpon
the
belly
,
to
lye
vpon
your
backe
,
and
behinde
you
take
your
left
legge
in
your
right
hand
,
and
forceably
moue
your
other
leg
,
as
when
you
swimme
vpon
your
backe
,
thus
.
To
swim
with
his
hands
and
feete
bound
.
This
kinde
of
swimming
is
easiliest
done
,
by
lying
very
straight
vpon
his
back
,
drawing
in
his
legs
,
and
thrusting
them
forth
againe
,
after
this
maner
.
To
slide
forwards
vpon
his
belly
in
the
water
.
This
must
be
thus
done
,
he
must
keepe
his
hands
together
with
their
palmes
downwards
,
by
which
he
must
drawe
the
water
towards
him
,
and
his
feete
also
and
legges
kept
close
together
,
hee
must
easilie
thrust
out
and
kéepe
in
as
well
as
he
can
,
keeping
them
together
in
this
wise
.
This
is
best
to
be
vsed
in
those
Riners
where
are
many
high
wéedes
,
for
that
swimming
vpon
his
belly
thus
,
he
shall
safelier
slyde
ouer
them
.
To
sitte
in
the
water
.
He
that
will
exercise
this
kinde
of
swimming
,
must
be
such
a
one
as
is
not
troubled
with
the
Crampe
,
for
that
the
forceable
bending
backward
with
his
body
,
is
otherwise
very
dangerous
,
which
must
be
thus
done
.
Lying
vpon
his
barke
,
he
must
drawe
in
his
feete
towards
his
hippes
,
and
vse
some
motion
with
his
hands
vnder
the
water
,
to
sustaine
him
till
hee
hath
gotten
hys
legges
in
his
hands
,
thus
.
And
then
vsing
some
small
motion
to
put
him
forwards
,
kéeping
onely
his
brest
and
head
aboue
the
water
,
the
streame
will
easily
kéepe
him
vp
,
by
reason
of
the
concauitie
in
the
backe
.
To
pare
his
toes
in
the
water
.
Swimming
vpon
his
backe
,
let
him
drawe
vp
his
left
foote
,
and
lay
it
ouer
his
right
knee
,
still
keeping
his
body
very
straight
and
then
hauing
a
knife
readie
in
his
right
hand
,
he
may
easilie
kéepe
vp
his
legge
vntill
he
hath
pared
one
of
his
toes
,
as
thus
.
To
shew
foure
parts
of
his
body
aboue
the
water
at
once
.
He
must
lie
straight
vpon
his
backe
,
and
lay
one
legge
ouer
the
other
knee
,
so
that
the
vppermost
knee
may
easily
be
seene
aboue
the
water
,
then
hee
must
,
setting
his
hands
on
his
brest
,
hold
vp
his
elbowes
aboue
the
water
,
&
so
he
shall
at
once
show
his
head
,
his
elbowes
,
and
one
knee
,
as
thus
.
To
swimme
with
one
legge
right
vp
.
That
must
as
the
rest
,
he
done
by
lying
straight
vpon
his
backe
,
and
lifting
one
legge
as
high
aboue
the
water
as
he
can
,
and
stryking
vnder
the
water
with
his
other
legge
▪
to
driue
him
forwards
,
his
hand
easily
mouing
by
his
side
,
the
better
to
keepe
him
vp
,
as
in
this
example
.
To
carrie
any
thing
drie
ouer
the
water
in
his
hands
.
This
is
onely
done
by
swimming
vpon
his
backe
,
and
strayning
himselfe
to
lye
straight
with
his
body
,
so
that
he
holde
his
armes
straight
vp
,
which
will
else
force
him
to
bend
his
bodie
,
and
so
he
shall
sincke
,
and
holding
his
armes
vpward
as
afore
,
he
may
easilie
carrie
,
or
recarry
,
any
thing
ouer
the
water
without
wetting
,
as
for
example
.
To
stroake
his
legge
as
if
he
were
pulling
on
a
boote
.
This
is
nothing
els
but
lying
straight
vpon
his
backe
,
as
are
all
the
other
extraordinarie
feates
,
and
suddenly
lifting
one
leg
aboue
the
water
,
stroake
with
both
his
hands
in
this
manner
.
To
caper
with
both
his
legges
at
once
aboue
the
water
.
Lying
vpon
his
backe
straight
as
afore
,
his
hands
with
their
palmes
downwards
,
pressing
the
water
the
better
to
keepe
him
vp
,
he
must
cast
both
his
legges
out
of
the
water
at
once
,
and
caper
with
them
vpward
as
men
vse
to
doe
downward
in
dauncing
,
as
thus
.
To
diue
vnderneath
the
water
.
He
must
if
hee
be
in
a
place
where
he
way
stand
vpon
the
ground
,
with
as
much
force
as
he
can
,
leape
vp
,
and
bending
his
head
towards
his
brest
,
fall
forwards
downe
into
the
water
,
as
thus
.
His
hands
hee
must
holde
before
his
head
,
with
their
backes
together
,
that
they
may
be
ready
to
pull
him
as
it
were
forcing
him
downe
vnder
the
water
,
and
he
must
pulling
them
out
and
in
,
nowe
vse
them
to
helpe
him
downe
,
which
weare
afore
a
meanes
to
holde
him
vp
,
his
feete
also
must
strike
vpward
,
moueing
them
after
the
same
manner
,
as
he
doth
swimming
aboue
the
water
vpon
his
belly
,
after
this
example
To
swimme
vnder
the
water
.
When
he
hath
thus
buried
himselfe
in
the
water
,
hee
must
thrust
his
hands
sorth
before
his
head
,
and
as
it
were
drawe
the
waters
which
are
before
,
and
beate
them
behinde
him
,
stryke
with
his
feete
as
swimming
vpon
his
belly
,
but
somewhat
vpward
,
that
they
may
the
easilyer
keepe
him
downe
,
as
in
this
example
.
To

from
the
bottome
.
That
is
done
by
the
spedie

is
lost
in
the
water
.
He
must
swimme
vnder
the
water
as
afore
,
but
as

bottome
as
he
can
,
so
that

water
,
his
eyes
open
,
that
he
may
sée
where
it
lyeth
,
and
if
so
be
that
he
haue
any
occasion
to
turne
him selfe
,
or
to
seeke
round
about
,
as
thinking
himselfe
neere
the
thing
he
séeketh
,
if
he
will
turne
towards
the
left
hand
,
he
must
with
hys
right
hand
,
pull
towards
him
the
water
which
is
on
his
left
side
,
which
will
easilye
turne
him
about
,
as
this
picture
next
following
sheweth
by
example
.
But
thus
much
to
him
which
learneth
to
diue
,
let
him
neuer
swimme
further
then
he
can
see
the
bottome
,
for
it
is
either
very
déepe
,
or
els
he
is
vnder
some
baucke
,
or
in
some
such
daunger
.
To
swimme
like
a
Dolphin
.
This
is
nothing
els
,
but
in
diuing
to
lift
his
head
aboue
the
water
,
&
when
he
hath
breathed
,
presently
diue
down
againe
,
as
afore
.
