A09732	A nevv, cheape and delicate fire of cole-balles wherein seacole is by the mixture of other combustible bodies, both sweetened and multiplied.

prove_v a_o good_a coal_n to_o the_o buier_n but_o without_o all_o question_n if_o the_o same_o be_v of_o a_o dark_a duskish_a and_o dead_a earthly_a colour_n it_o be_v utter_o unprofitable_a for_o

many_o degree_n it_o differ_v from_o the_o same_o the_o light_a coal_n be_v always_o the_o best_a the_o near_a your_o coal_n come_v in_o lightness_n to_o the_o pattern_n both_o be_v equal_o measure_v
