VI. The Counties and Shires in England and Wales where these are found THese Metals and Minerals are mostly produced from the Hilly and Mountainous parts of England and Wales For Norfolk Suffolk Cambridgeshire Essex Isle of Ely and other flat and almost level Countries or places do not afford them nor are apt to breed them or if they did yet it would not quit cost to dig for them because the charge of exhausting the water by pumps which must inevitably be would prove greater then any expectable gains whereas in mountains and hilly places the Waters and Oars may be carried off by Adits which though made with hard labour yet with less charge and more certaintie The best Tin Mines yet known are in Cornwall and Pembrokeshire Copper Mines containing some Gold and Silver are in Cornwall Tin Copper Gold and Silver Devonshire Somersetshire Gloucestershire Derbyshire Shropshire Cheshire Northumberland Cumberland Pembrokeshire and we doubt not of good in Kent The best Lead oar containing Silver are in Devonshire Lead and Silver Gloucestershire Worcestershire Staffordshire Leicestershire Cheshire Derbyshire Lancashire Cumberland Northumberland York shire Bishoprick of Durham Flintshire Denbyshire Shropshire Carnarvanshire Merioneth Montgomery Caermarthen Brecknock Monmouth Buckinghamshire Dorsetshire and in the time of Henry the Fourth one in Essex Iron oar is plentiful in Cornwall Shropshire Iron Staffordshire Gloncestershire and Sussex c.

East Meth West Meth and Long ford and this Circuit is called the English Pale because those Territories were always inhabited by the English nor could they be dispossessed notwithstanding the often incursions of the Irish so that their safe guarding of that Circuit of ground from the Irish was as it were a Pale to the English and therefore called the English Pale But when the Society shall think it useful to make a further inquirie into the Latitude of their Grant from the Crown th●y will find all Demister Ulster and part of Munster to be also included but in so much ground as is confessed by the 〈◊〉 to be within the Pale and anciently appertaining ●o the English there are store of Le●d Mines affording good quantitie of Silver also Copper Mines and Iron Mines and other Metals and Minerals which may prove a reward to Industrie and to the further Inquiries of the Society CHAP.
