A67033	A century of the names and scantlings of such inventions as at present I can call to mind to have tried and perfected, which, my former notes being lost, I have, at the instance of a powerful friend, endeavoured now in the year 1655, to set these down in such a way as may sufficiently instruct me to put any of them in practice	Worcester, Edward Somerset, Marquis of, 1601-1667.	1663 (1663)	Wing W3532; ESTC R7944	14,317	108

pond_n or_o raise_v gravel_n a_o engine_n whereby_o one_o man_n may_v take_v out_o of_o the_o water_n a_o ship_n of_o 500_o tun_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v calk_v trim_v and_o repair_v without_o need_n of_o the_o usual_a way_n of_o stock_n and_o as_o easy_o let_v it_o down_o again_o a_o little_a engine_n portable_a in_o one_o pocket_n which_o place_v to_o any_o door_n without_o any_o noise_n but_o on_o crack_n open_v any_o door_n or_o gate_n a_o double_a cross-bow_n neat_a handsome_a and_o strong_a to_o shoot_v two_o arrow_n either_o together_o or_o one_o after_o the_o other_o so_o immediate_o that_o a_o dear_n can_v run_v two_o step_n but_o if_o he_o miss_v of_o one_o arrow_n he_o may_v be_v reach_v with_o the_o other_o whether_o the_o deer_n run_v forward_o sideward_n or_o start_v backward_o a_o way_n to_o make_v a_o sea-bank_n so_o firm_a and_o geometrically-strong_a that_o a_o stream_n can_v have_v no_o power_n over_o it_o excellent_a likewise_o to_o save_v the_o pillar_n of_o a_o bridge_n be_v far_o cheap_a and_o strong_a than_o stonewall_n a_o instrument_n whereby_o a_o ignorant_a person_n may_v take_v any_o thing_n in_o perspective_n as_o just_o and_o more_o than_o the_o skilful_a painter_n can_v do_v by_o his_o eye_n a_o engine_n so_o contrive_v that_o work_v the_o primum_fw-la mobile_a forward_o or_o backward_o upward_o or_o downward_o circular_o or_o corner-wise_a to_o and_o fro_o straight_o upright_o or_o downright_o yet_o the_o pretend_a operation_n continue_v and_o advance_v none_o of_o the_o motion_n abovementioned_a hinder_v much_o less_o stop_v the_o other_o but_o unanimous_o and_o with_o harmony_n agree_v they_o all_o augment_v and_o contribute_v strength_n unto_o the_o intend_a work_n and_o operation_n and_o therefore_o i_o call_v this_o a_o semi-omnipotent_a engine_n and_o do_v intend_v that_o a_o model_n thereof_o be_v bury_v with_o i_o how_o to_o make_v one_o pound_n weight_n to_o raise_v a_o hundred_o as_o high_a as_o one_o pound_n fall_v and_o yet_o the_o hundred_o pound_n descend_v do_v what_o nothing_o less_o than_o one_o hundred_o pound_n can_v effect_v upon_o so_o potent_a a_o help_n as_o these_o two_o last_o mention_v invention_n a_o water_n be_v by_o many_o year_n experience_n and_o labour_n so_o advantageous_o by_o i_o contrive_v that_o a_o child_n force_n bring_v up_o a_o hundred_o foot_n high_a a_o incredible_a quantity_n of_o water_n even_o two_o foot_n diameter_n so_o natural_o that_o the_o work_n will_v not_o be_v hear_v even_o into_o the_o next_o room_n and_o with_o so_o great_a ease_n and_o geometrical_a symmetry_n that_o though_o it_o work_v day_n and_o night_n from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o year_n to_o the_o other_o it_o will_v not_o require_v forty_o shilling_n reparation_n to_o the_o whole_a engine_n nor_o hinder_v one_o day-work_n and_o i_o may_v bold_o call_v it_o the_o most_o stupendous_a work_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n not_o only_o with_o little_a charge_n to_o drain_v all_o sort_n of_o mine_n and_o furnish_v city_n with_o water_n though_o never_o so_o high_a seat_v as_o well_o to_o keep_v they_o sweet_a run_v through_o several_a street_n and_o so_o perform_v the_o work_n of_o scavinger_n as_o well_o as_o furnish_v the_o inhabitant_n with_o sufficient_a water_n for_o their_o private_a occasion_n but_o likewise_o supply_v river_n with_o sufficient_a to_o

of_o profit_n admiration_n and_o consequence_n so_o that_o deserve_o i_o deem_v this_o invention_n to_o crown_v my_o labour_n to_o reward_v my_o expense_n and_o make_v my_o thought_n acquiesce_v in_o
