in hand another matter haue I prayse the man that first did paper make the onely thing that sets all vertues forth It shoes newe bookes and keepes old workes awake much more of price than all this world is worth It witnesse beares of frendship time and troth and is the tromp of vice and vertue both Without whose helpe no hap nor wealth is won and by whose ayde great workes and déedes are done It flies from friend and foe in letter wise and serues a state and kingdome sundry wayes It makes great winde where neuer dust doth rise and bréedes some stormes in smoothest sommer dayes It telles of warre and peace as things fall out and brings by time ten thousand things about For schollars fit and merchants all alike for plowe men good that digs and delues the dike For good Deuines and lawyers not amisse for Saylers too and those that trauell farre For Students best that knowes what learning is for pleaders meete for men of peace or warre For all degrees that are of manly kinde a right good meane that may expresse the minde A néedefull thing that no good wit may want a thing moste vsde yet neuer will be skant What man or sex or shape of worthy molde can paper lacke but buies it lesse or more Things present are in paper long enrolde so things to come and things long past before Though partchment duer a greater time and space yet can it not put paper out of place For paper still from man to man doth go when parchment comes in few mens hands you knowe If paper be so precious and so pure so fitte for man and serues so many wayes So good for vse and wil so well endure so rare a thing and is so much in prayes Than he that made for vs a paper mill is worthy well of loue and worldes good will And though his name be Spillman by degrée yet Help-man nowe he shall be calde by mée Sixe hundred men are set a worke by him that else might starue or seeke abroad their bread Who nowe liues well and goes full braue and trim and who may boast they are with paper fed Straunge is that foode yet straunger made the same Spillman Help-man so rightly call the same For greater help I gesse he cannot giue than by his help to make poore folke to liue Fewe helps these dayes to bring vs any wealth some sundry wayes doe still more harme then good So such as help doe breede good bloud and health and in best part ought well be vnderstoode If paper mill helps poore and harmes no rich the gayne is great and the inuention much The worke not small the labor worth the viewe because old Art is nowe reuiude a newe One Thirlby went Embassador farre from hence to Charles the fift an Emperour of great fame And at returne did bring with him from thence a learned man Remigius by name Who Thirlby loude and made by his deuise a paper mill but not so much in price As this that nowe néere Darthford standeth well Where Spillman may himselfe and houshold dwell Well this is he that first héere profite brought first triall made of thinges not héere well knowne First framde the forme that sundry paper wrought first tooke in hand by charges of his owne A doubtfull worke that others earst begun Who spent thereon more wealth then well they won This man alone the substance shewes so right that all the rest were Lampes that gaue no light The mill it selfe is sure right rare to sée the framing is so queint and finely done Built all of wood and hollowe trunkes of tree that makes the streames at point deuice to runne Nowe vp now downe now sideward by a sleight nowe forward fast then spouting vp on height As Conduits colde coulde force so great a heate that fire shoulde flame where thumping hammers beat The Hammers thump and make as lowde a noyse as Fuller doth that beates his wollen cloth In open shewe then sundry seceete toyes makes rotten ragges to yéelde a thickned froth Then is it stampt and washt as white as snowe then flong on frame and hangd to dry I trow Thus Paper streight it is to write vpon as it were rubde and smoothde with slicking stone Through many handes this Paper passeth there before full forme and perfect shape it takes Yet in short time this Paper yucke will beare whereon in haste the workeman profit makes A wonder sure to see such ragges and shreads passe dayly through so many hands and heads And Water too that Papers enmy is yet Paper must take forme and shape from this This Water doth not onely driue the mill but giues it grace and makes it fine and fayre Is cause and ground to giue it fashion still for it is made with Water winde and ayre And takes his forme of compoundes mixed well wherein there doth a secreate nature dwell A heauenly power that earth and ayre hath knit by cunning Art and worke of humane wit For cloth and silke and mettalles fine or bace are wrought of thinges that haue a substance great This findeth forme and stampe in straunger cace as Water mill made rags and shreds to sweate Of whose thick froth a creame or crudde should rise that shoulde take shape and strength by breath of skyes Though sure a meane there is to worke the same some secrete cause brings Paper first in frame As corne is sowne and there must rotte in grounde before it blade or takes good roote or strength Then reapt and thrasht and to the myll full rounde is sent to grinde and made good dow at length Then kneaded well then bakte and made good bread so paper sure through many a hand and head Doth passe like drosse that of it selfe is nought till it be tried by skill and throughly wrought From drosse commes gold when fier hath searcht it well so all thinges haue their worth from some great cause The pearle some say is fetcht from oysters shel thus each thing yéeldes to Art and natures lawes As fier from slint through stroake of stéele we finde so world may see what wonders worketh kinde Glasse was at first as straunge to make or vewe as Paper nowe that is deuisde of newe Of newe I meane in England saue one man that had great wealth and might much treasure spare Who with some charge a Paper mill began and after built a stately worke moste rare The Royall exchaunge but got by that more gayne than he indéede did loose by former payne But neither he nor none before his dayes made Paper mill that merits so much prayse As this that nowe is not full farre from hence where Water ranne in waste and vaine a way Nowe profit yéeldes and brings in poundes and pence that quittes the cost and doth the charge defray This had not bene if Prince had not retained the straunger héere by whome these giftes are gayned Her highnesse than sawe in her déepe foresight what
