A09740	A discovery of subterraneall treasure viz. of all manner of mines and mineralls, from the gold to the coale; with plaine directions and rules for the finding of them in all kingdoms and countries. And also the art of melting, refining, and assaying of them is plainly declared, so that every ordinary man, that is indifferently capacious, may with small change presently try the value of such oares as shall be found either by rule or by accident. Whereunto is added a reall experiment whereby every ignorant man may presently try whether any peece of gold that shal come to his hands be true or connterfeit [sic] ... Also a perfect way to try what colour any berry, leafe, flower, stalke, root, fruit, seed, barke, or wood will give: with a perfect way to make colours that they shall not stayne nor fade like ordinary colours. ...	Plattes, Gabriel, fl. 1638-1640.	1639 (1639)	STC 20000; ESTC S100866	25,150	76

and_o so_o lay_v they_o down_o again_o chap._n ii_o wherein_o be_v show_v the_o way_n to_o find_v out_o pit-coale_n also_o the_o natural_a cause_n of_o the_o generation_n of_o they_o by_o a_o plain_a

this_o mineral_n be_v usual_o find_v in_o ground_n that_o be_v prone_a to_o bear_v wood_n and_o thorn_n and_o not_o in_o the_o very_a fertile_a ground_n nor_o yet_o in_o the_o extreme_a barren_a

nor_o yet_o will_v they_o ever_o be_v very_o fat_a upon_o the_o same_o ground_n also_o the_o spring_n issue_v out_o of_o the_o say_a ground_n be_v apt_a to_o colour_v the_o earth_n ruddy_a at_o

to_o be_v deceive_v do_v thus_o first_o try_v it_o where_o there_o be_v coal_n and_o if_o you_o find_v the_o sign_n above_o say_v yet_o trust_v not_o to_o the_o experiment_n till_o you_o have_v try_v

at_o all_o than_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o experiment_n be_v true_a and_o unfailable_a i_o admonish_v he_o that_o shall_v try_v with_o the_o tiffany_n upon_o the_o dew_n to_o let_v his_o
