history_n of_o this_o great_a vein_n it_o be_v at_o first_o discovery_n thereof_o about_o seven_o year_n ago_o about_o one_o foot_n wide_o in_o oar_n at_o the_o very_a surface_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v vein-stone_n betwixt_o the_o say_a firm_a side_n and_o as_o the_o mine_n be_v sink_v down_o the_o oar_n still_o increase_v and_o the_o vein-stone_n decrease_v till_o the_o vein_n be_v six_o foot_n wide_a in_o oar_n and_o then_o about_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o year_n 1694._o the_o twitch_n come_v in_o by_o degree_n in_o a_o sharp_a angle_n and_o the_o vein-stone_n get_v ground_n considerable_o of_o the_o oar_n till_o the_o oar_n come_v to_o be_v a_o yard_n wide_a and_o in_o some_o place_n three_o quarter_n of_o a_o yard_n and_o at_o last_o not_o above_o a_o foot_n but_o as_o the_o twitch_n come_v in_o so_o it_o go_v out_o by_o degree_n in_o the_o same_o proportion_n and_o then_o the_o oar_n get_v ground_n and_o increase_v to_o seven_o foot_n six_o inch_n and_o become_v much_o rich_a as_o well_o as_o broad_a and_o thus_o we_o must_v expect_v the_o battle_n will_v continue_v between_o the_o vein-stone_n and_o the_o oar_n till_o we_o have_v sink_v to_o that_o deepness_n that_o the_o oar_n have_v get_v the_o entire_a victory_n and_o become_v eleven_o foot_n wide_a betwixt_o its_o firm_a and_o solid_a side_n which_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o believe_v it_o will_v do_v when_o our_o level_n be_v carry_v home_o at_o sixty_o four_o yard_n deep_a and_o then_o we_o may_v challenge_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o show_v such_o another_o vein_n there_o be_v also_o another_o constant_a observation_n in_o mineral-works_a and_o that_o be_v betwixt_o a_o limestone_n sill_n or_o side_n and_o a_o rag-stone_n sill_n or_o side_n in_o which_o there_o be_v always_o observe_v a_o manifest_a difference_n in_o relation_n to_o these_o twitch_n for_o when_o the_o vein_n lie_v betwixt_o a_o lime-sill_n or_o side_n as_o in_o darbyshire_n and_o flintshire_n there_o the_o side_n of_o the_o vein_n often_o make_v the_o twitch_n which_o be_v the_o worst_a sort_n of_o twitch_n but_o yet_o even_o in_o these_o case_n the_o vein_n be_v never_o lose_v by_o such_o a_o twitch_n but_o where_o the_o vein_n lie_v between_o a_o rag-sill_a or_o side_n there_o the_o side_n be_v more_o firm_a and_o regular_a and_o the_o twitch_n be_v always_o make_v by_o the_o vein-stone_n which_o some_o call_v a_o rider_n and_o not_o man_n can_v ever_o instance_n that_o any_o vein_n be_v ever_o lose_v by_o such_o a_o twitch_n but_o that_o the_o oar_n afterward_o be_v rich_a and_o broad_a as_o aforesaid_a but_o some_o ignorant_a and_o unskilful_a person_n who_o know_v nothing_o of_o these_o matter_n be_v frighten_v at_o such_o a_o twitch_n and_o think_v the_o vein_n be_v go_v off_o from_o they_o whereas_o a_o experience_a artist_n rather_o rejoice_v at_o it_o and_o at_o first_o sight_n tell_v his_o workman_n that_o then_o he_o have_v great_a hope_n of_o a_o rich_a mine_n but_o of_o this_o we_o will_v trouble_v the_o reader_n no_o more_o at_o this_o time_n only_o we_o will_v acquaint_v he_o that_o a_o certain_a person_n not_o have_v any_o judgement_n in_o mineral-works_a do_v imagine_v that_o this_o great_a vein_n may_v possible_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o belly_n of_o oar_n such_o as_o they_o have_v in_o darbyshire_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o on_o each_o side_n the_o first_o shaft_n that_o be_v sink_v there_o be_v a_o little_a descent_n of_o ground_n which_o have_v cast_v down_o the_o rock_n upon_o the_o vein_n but_o that_o opinion_n appear_v to_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n to_o every_o artist_n at_o first_o sight_n and_o to_o all_o other_o when_o the_o trial_n and_o cross_a cut_n be_v make_v and_o the_o vein_n find_v from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o hill_n to_o the_o other_o twelve_o hundred_o yard_n in_o length_n whereas_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a belly_n of_o oar_n that_o be_v fifty_o yard_n in_o length_n but_o especial_o when_o the_o parralel_n vein_n be_v find_v which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o demonstrate_v to_o any_o skilful_a artist_n that_o the_o great_a vein_n be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n and_o in_o all_o probability_n the_o main_a body_n of_o all_o the_o other_o vein_n but_o we_o can_v help_v the_o ignorance_n nor_o the_o malice_n of_o man_n but_o god_n be_v thank_v we_o be_v now_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o help_v ourselves_o we_o have_v a_o noble_a stock_n to_o manage_v the_o mine_n actual_o pay_v in_o bank-bill_n and_o goldsmith_n note_n and_o now_o we_o be_v print_v affidavit_n we_o be_v once_o in_o the_o mind_n to_o have_v add_v one_o more_o in_o pure_a revenge_n and_o that_o be_v to_o let_v our_o adversary_n know_v that_o all_o our_o money_n be_v pay_v in_o to_o a_o small_a matter_n there_o not_o be_v above_o fifteen_o hundred_o ticket_n unpaid_a for_o and_o of_o these_o the_o great_a part_n be_v subscriber_n out_o of_o the_o country_n and_o have_v send_v notice_n that_o

return_v out_o of_o the_o country_n and_o pay_v above_o but_o we_o do_v hear_v that_o all_o the_o industrious_a contrivance_n of_o our_o adversary_n have_v make_v one_o false_a brother_n among_o we_o of_o twenty_o pound_n value_n when_o man_n be_v about_o a_o unprofitable_a undertake_n the_o world_n be_v seldom_o so_o good_a nature_a as_o to_o be_v at_o so_o much_o trouble_v and_o expense_n to_o undeceive_v they_o and_o therefore_o the_o envy_n and_o opposition_n this_o meet_v with_o be_v one_o very_o great_a argument_n among_o the_o rest_n to_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o value_n of_o the_o mine_n and_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o this_o undertake_n but_o that_o the_o world_n may_v judge_v by_o a_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o this_o opposition_n we_o will_v desire_v they_o to_o consider_v whether_o they_o will_v think_v it_o reasonable_a for_o a_o powerful_a man_n to_o send_v to_o his_o neighbour_n and_o forbid_v they_o to_o sow_v any_o corn_n in_o their_o ground_n for_o if_o you_o do_v say_v he_o more_o corn_n will_v come_v to_o the_o market_n and_o consequent_o the_o price_n thereof_o lessen_v to_o my_o damage_n therefore_o either_o desist_v or_o else_o i_o will_v blast_v your_o credit_n some_o way_n or_o other_o i_o will_v tell_v the_o world_n your_o ground_n will_v yield_v good_a corn_n that_o poisonous_a weed_n grow_v up_o with_o it_o that_o if_o any_o corn_n be_v have_v yet_o that_o it_o will_v grind_v in_o the_o mill_n nor_o make_v bread_n or_o else_o the_o bread_n will_v not_o be_v good_a for_o any_o use_v whatsoever_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n when_o you_o have_v be_v at_o great_a charge_n i_o will_v ruin_v your_o undertake_n just_o thus_o they_o deal_v with_o we_o some_o say_v we_o have_v no_o such_o mountain_n or_o if_o
