A90754	The profitable intelligencer, communicating his knowledge for the generall good of the common-wealth and all posterity. Containing many rare secrets and experiments (having reference to a larger book) which being well observed, and industriously practised, according to the directions therein by all the inhabitants of England in generall, will recover the wealth of the kingdom now so miserably wasted by these unnaturall wars, and make it the most flourishing countrey in the world, and cause more naked to be clothed, more hungry to be fed, more poore virgins to be preferred in marriage, more sick to be healed, then Suttons Hospitall the Savoy, and all the hospitals and liberall gifts in England have ever performed, by certain wayes which require no charge nor labour, but what every active person shall be double payed for. A copie of the letter, wherein the discourse entituled, Mercurius Lætificans, was sent enclosed to the authors most worthy, and highly honoured friend, Mr. Samuel Hartlib.

that_o a_o load_n of_o the_o best_a common_a dung_n will_v not_o produce_v corn_n worth_a above_o twenty_o shilling_n at_o three_o crop_n unless_o corn_n be_v very_o dear_a and_o if_o it_o be_v far_o

yet_o they_o serve_v only_o to_o enrich_v land_n which_o lie_v near_o to_o great_a city_n where_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o they_o whereas_o be_v reserve_v by_o themselves_o they_o will_v quit_v

dry_v to_o they_o as_o be_v temper_v with_o urine_n will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v the_o whole_a mass_n apt_a to_o be_v form_v into_o the_o form_n of_o brick_n loaf_n or_o cheese_n and_o then_o they_o be_v to_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o a_o dry_a place_n till_o they_o be_v thorough_o rot_v and_o that_o a_o small_a quantity_n thereof_o be_v make_v into_o powder_n will_v not_o produce_v any_o
