The Transcript of his Maiesties Indenture Reader AS I vnderstand you haue promised and couenanted in your Pattent more fully and euidently to expresse and enlarge in a Printed treatise to be called Metallica euery point and part of your priuiledged businesse to the intent that the Reader might the better conceiue and iudge of the Inuentions propounded and might the sooner also bee induced to assist and set forward so good and worthy workes First therefore I demand of you by what name and appellation you entitle that generall head vnder the which you reduce and comprehend all the seuerall Arts and Inuentions of your Pattent Author The generall that comprehendeth all the other perticular Inuentions is called Metallica which is a word deriued and deduced from the Greeke and Latin words Metallon and Metallum which signifie in English Mettles which properly are Minerall substances digged and taken out of the earth of which sort are Iron Lead Tin Copper Brasse Gold and Siluer c. R. 2. Doth your Pattent of Metallica onely containe the making of mettles by the meanes of Sea-coale and Pit-coale and with your other Metallicall instruments which you haue deuised for that purpose A. His Maiesties gratious grant is very large and ample for it doth not onely comprehend and priuiledge the making of all kinde of mettles after the manner prescribed but also equally authorizeth and licenseth any other Mechanick inuentions comprehended vnder the generall definition of Metallica which is mentioned in the Schedules or Manuscript treatise annexed to the Pattent which Schedules haue the same force and validitie as his Maiesties Indenture it selfe R. 3. Then that I may certainely know and vnderstand the extent of your priuiledge repeate I pray you word by word the definition of Metallica as it is written in the said Schedules annexed to your Pattent A. Metallica mentioned in the petition is thus defined Metallica is an Art or Inuention shewing how diuerse things and Materials now made and atteined vnto in a very chargeable sort after the ordinary way may be made and atteined to after a more cheaper manner and as with the helpe of common instruments so more especially by diuerse new deuised Metallicall instruments and meanes From these Metallicall instruments the Art is generally called Metallica R. 4. This summary definition giueth mee some generall light and vnderstanding into your businesses but that I may bee the more fully satisfied I pray you rehearse also the tenour of his Maiesties grant as it is vnder the broad seale of England HONI
