B08599	A table, setting forth the maner of that great philosopher the Lord Chancelor Bacons searching for mettals by making addits through the lowest level of hills or mountains, and conveying aire into the innermost parts of their center by pipe and bellows; as well as by art to mollifie the hardest stone, without the tedious way and inestimable charge of sinking aery shafts; and is now intended to be put in practice by his meniall servant Thomas Bushell, on Hingston-Downe, according to his lordhsips command, and the approbation of that great mineralist , Sir Francis Godolphine; with the demonstrative resons of each particular to the lords of the fee, and proprietors of Hingston-Downe is as followeth.

150_o fathom_n at_o each_o end_n be_v first_o to_o facilitate_v the_o dispatch_n of_o 300_o fathom_n of_o the_o 700_o the_o first_o year_n by_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o multitude_n of_o hand_n that_o

second_o that_o the_o close_a addit_fw-la may_v be_v but_o in_o length_n 400_o fathom_n of_o the_o 700._o and_o to_o shorten_v likewise_o the_o drift_n of_o the_o same_o in_o point_n of_o time_n i_o

and_o therefore_o you_o may_v rest_v assure_v that_o i_o have_v so_o mature_o calculate_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n not_o only_o of_o this_o great_a work_n at_o hingston-down_a but_o also_o of_o that_o

level_n equal_a in_o my_o open_a and_o close_a aqueduct_n with_o the_o low_a depth_n of_o the_o coome_n be_v first_o because_o it_o draw_v the_o inundation_n of_o water_n from_o the_o whole_a hill_n

because_o i_o have_v find_v by_o my_o own_o experience_n in_o cut_v through_o other_o mountain_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n the_o great_a inconvenience_n of_o little_a addits_n in_o respect_n of_o

hingston-down_a coomes_n martin_n in_o devon_n guinop_n in_o cornwall_n and_o mendyp_n in_o somerset_n be_v first_o because_o i_o have_v have_v already_o the_o experience_n of_o some_o partner_n and_o

which_o make_v i_o call_v to_o mind_v his_o lordship_n frequent_a observation_n that_o many_o partner_n in_o the_o public_a act_n of_o mineral_n adventure_n where_o greediness_n of_o gain_n have_v

in_o some_o friend_n which_o heretofore_o give_v i_o credit_n as_o out_o of_o their_o own_o honesty_n and_o noble_a nature_n they_o have_v be_v willing_a to_o accept_v of_o their_o present_a use_n
