A37148	An invention of engines of motion lately brought to perfection whereby may be dispatched any work now done in England or elsewhere (especially vvorks that require strength and swiftness) either by wind, water, cattel or men ...

those_o engine_n common_o call_v querne_n or_o hand-mill_n and_o for_o turn_v of_o grinding-stone_n and_o for_o hand-pump_n which_o make_v but_o small_a riddance_n for_o the_o four_o viz._n wind_n this_o be_v use_v in_o great_a and_o strong_a mill-work_n as_o for_o the_o grind_n of_o corn_n or_o rape_n etc._n etc._n for_o saw_v of_o timber_n or_o for_o drain_n of_o drown_a land_n etc._n etc._n but_o these_o windmill_n be_v liable_a to_o these_o inconvenience_n first_o they_o be_v only_o to_o be_v erect_v upon_o hill_n or_o open_a plain_n and_o therefore_o not_o useful_a in_o all_o place_n second_o they_o be_v not_o without_o some_o danger_n of_o be_v break_v and_o that_o not_o the_o sail_n only_o which_o though_o frequent_a be_v mendable_a but_o sometime_o to_o be_v tear_v in_o piece_n yea_o tumble_v quite_o down_o by_o violent_a and_o sudden_a storm_n which_o though_o it_o happen_v but_o seldom_o yet_o in_o respect_n it_o may_v so_o be_v and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o great_a loss_n both_o of_o life_n and_o good_n that_o necessary_o follow_v there_o be_v sufficient_a argument_n to_o deter_v any_o man_n from_o build_v such_o mill_n where_o other_o less_o hazardous_a can_v be_v set_v up_o though_o not_o to_o neglect_v the_o use_n of_o they_o where_o no_o other_o can_v be_v have_v three_o such_o storm_n and_o gusty_a wind_n though_o they_o always_o break_v not_o the_o whole_a mill_n nor_o its_o sail_n yet_o it_o often_o compel_v it_o to_o stand_v still_o or_o if_o it_o go_v it_o grind_v untoward_o sometime_o too_o high_a present_o too_o low_a and_o be_v apt_a to_o

this_o nature_n the_o tackle_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o break_v four_o calm_n be_v all_o the_o year_n long_o and_o especial_o in_o summer_n so_o frequent_a that_o upon_o enquiry_n i_o be_o confident_a it_o will_v appear_v that_o most_o windmill_n stand_v still_o above_o half_a the_o year_n though_o not_o altogether_o at_o one_o time_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n no_o man_n will_v grind_v at_o a_o windmill_n that_o can_v as_o convenient_o grind_v at_o a_o water-mill_n and_o he_o may_v have_v grist_n when_o the_o wind_n serve_v not_o or_o want_v when_o the_o wind_n serve_v five_o the_o

the_o sail_n and_o consequent_o the_o cog-wheel_n have_v go_v about_o 8._o time_n in_o a_o minute_n that_o be_v 24._o turn_n in_o a_o minute_n for_o the_o stone_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o time_n they_o work_v it_o be_v not_o much_o above_o this_o rate_n which_o can_v dispatch_v above_o 3._o bushel_n in_o one_o hour_n but_o a_o good_a mill_n of_o i_o may_v grind_v a_o quarter_n the_o 5_o principle_n of_o motion_n be_v water_n or_o the_o watermill_n these_o also_o be_v liable_a to_o some_o inconvenience_n first_o if_o the_o foundation_n be_v not_o careful_o and_o skilful_o lay_v all_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v eradicate_v second_o if_o the_o bank_n of_o the_o dam_n break_v the_o water_n run_v the_o wrong_a way_n three_o in_o great_a flood_n she_o stir_v not_o four_o
