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

i_o myself_o have_v undergo_v therefore_o see_v that_o if_o the_o most_o ingenious_a and_o exquisite_a way_n be_v take_v in_o the_o design_n that_o wit_n can_v attain_v unto_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o

but_o what_o it_o may_v do_v out_o of_o iron_n make_v in_o the_o burn_a zone_n i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o conceive_v it_o may_v do_v well_o if_o any_o such_o iron_n can_v be_v find_v and_o make_v in_o
