Collegium Emmanuelis Cantabrigiae TO THE Kings most Excellent MAJESTY SIR THE Materials of this Book are derived from your Majesties undoubted Prerogative to the Mines in your Dominions of which Metals are made Of them Moneys And then honoured with your Majesties Superscription And so by a Christian Circulation the Possessors do or ought to render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's Thus Your Majesty hath a double Right to the Mines and to the Products of the Chimical Art by which Metals are fitted for their Journey to Publick Commerce Herein I humbly offer my Endeavours to assist their motions and onely to refresh your Majesties Memory not to inform Your Knowledg for as 't is hinted in the Title Page Your Majesty is in the Science of Chimistry as in all Sciences of Humanity Nulli Secundus These Perfections are evident in Your Majesties publick and private Elaboratories from which pure Justice and pleasing Arts and Sciences are communicated to Your Subjects In these I have observed Your Majesties particular respects to Chimistry of an Vniversal Extent and thereupon I resolved to transplant this German Twig of L. Erckern on that Subject into Your Majesties Nursery and Humbly Dedicate it to Your Majesty with my Additionals and also Humbly crave your Acceptance as an encouragement to my further Progress in serving Your Majesty with more Fruits but at present it is to shew That I am intent in promoting the Services I owe Your Majesty as well with my sedentary Passive Pen as before with my personal Active Duty having upon some significant occasions had the Honour to be known to Your Majesty near Forty Years Now Great Sir Wherein I am incapacitated to express my Duty for want of Ability of Mind or Body or secular Fortunes they shall be supplied by my constant Prayers for Your Majesties Health Happiness and Serenity in Your Government being Feb. 26. 82 3 Your Majesties most Obedient and Humble Subject JOHN PETTVS To the Right Honourable George Marquess Earl Viscount Hallifax and Baron of Eland Lord Privy Seal and one of His Majesties most Honourable Privy Councel and Governour of the Society of the Mines Royal and Battery Works My Lord YOur Lordships free acceptance of the Government of the Mines Royal hath encouraged me to add it to your Titles and I hope without the least disparagement to your other Honours deservedly conferred upon your Lordship by His Majesty It is a Trust of great Concern and I doubt not but it will be so managed by your Lordship and of Honour too as it hath been always esteemed for not to trouble your Lordship with very Antient Records I find that King Edward the Fourth did make Richard Earl of Warwick who soon after was made one of the Governors of this Kingdom during its Troubles and John Earl of Northumberland his Guardians and Governors jointly of all his Mines in England and King Henry the Seventh made Jasper Duke of Bedford and other Earls and Lords his Guardians also of all the Mines in England adding Wales And Queen Elisabeth in the 10th of her Reign did form the Government thereof into Societies by the Names of Governors Deputy-Governors and Assistants for the Mines Royal and Battery-Works and then made Sir Nicholas Bacon Lord Keeper and other eminent persons her Governors for England and Wales adding those within the English Pale in Ireland which Government did continue Successively to the Earl of Pembrook and others for some Years and after his late Highness Prince Rupert was made a Governour and your Lordship to our contentment doth succeed him Now my Lord As for my self I have been one of the Deputy Governors for above 30 Years and do think my self obliged in point of Gratitude to the late Governours and present Members who were pleased unanimously to order a Contribution to the Charge of this Book and for some former Favours to endeavour the advancing of their Concerns especially now we have the Honour to be under your Lordships Regiment and therefore as an Introduction to my real Intents I not only publish this but by some Additionals I shall study to make the Government more advantagious to the Society and much more to His Majesty and even to other Proprietors of Mines wherein I have sat still some Years because I found that I should be obstructed by some who studied the advance of themselves more than His Majestics Revenues which I do not aim to do by any Oppressing Method or projecting Humour for I hate it but by an honest just way and I hope not displeasing to any but such as nothing will please And these I shall in due time communicate to your Lordship being so confident of your Lordships great Abilities join'd with your perfect Loyalty to your King and Love to your Country that your Lordship will not approve of any thing that I shall offer if it agrees not with your Lordships sound Judgment and deep Wisdom for which all who knows your Lordship have an high value and particularly Your Lordships most humble and obliged Servant JOHN PETTUS To the Noble and Honoured Subscribers and Contributers to this BOOK My Lords and Gentlemen I Did design to have publish't your Names in a way that should have more fully manifested your Favours and my Acknowledgments but this Book extending to above 50 sheets more than I design'd or at first proposed took up my limited time so as I must respit that intention for I have not done with this Subject intending not to trouble you or my self with Subscriptions but such as have Subscribed to this shall have notice when the next is ready and if they approve of this so well as to take the next from me it will be an additional Obligation to me for I am prepared to go through the Body of this ART upon these Reasons First That it contains the Grounds and Maxims of most admirable Speculations and next That I may divulge their chifest and most curious Experiments and Practicks Now that which incited me to this was occasioned from hence That having caused Erckern's

is brought into the Mines or other Tiling Water may come among it but such Waters as above you may prove and further after your pleasure make profit by them Also on this wise you may prove all Wells or Springs of Salt after the beforementioned little proof and search and know properly how rich they be And I was willing to mention these Instructions for Section 5 salty-Proofs that those who are now concerned may know how the better to manage them Thus much loving Reader I have writ of proving all Section 6 sorts of Oars and Mettals and other necessary things fit to be known for proving and meltiug them to the good and profit of all Mine-workers and young Assayers and for such as are ignorant of these Arts and this I have done in five Books most faithfully and dilligently and also given very large Instructions by writing and Sculpturing the same and I desire for this time that every one who loves or inclines to these Sciences will be content with it and accept of my good Intentions for these are not designed for Magisterial Artists Now in these Books I have not undertaken to treat of all Oars singly upon preparing and melting them in the great Works because I could not well discharge my self therein in respect that it would be a greater Task than my present Services can admit of yet I will reserve it to a farther Opportunity and I will also respite my Labour to discover how the Gold and Silver upon the Coyn'd Works are to be ordered upon diverse certain Contents and so made to profit which would require a particular and more large Volumn considering that it is a great Work and for many years with other things pertaining to the Coyn'd-Works have been as Secrets and therefore I Section 7 will also let them be as Secrets for the present And although Goldsmiths common Assayers and Merchants do suppose when they can reckon some dressings of the Crucible they have the perfect Art yet they want the most needful and best parts namely they have not been with the Coiners neither have they any true understanding or exercise of it and therefore in these matters nothing could be done with fruit or profit Section 8 Now concerning the Generation of Oars and Metals of which the Philosophers and Naturalists have wrote and disputed very much I leave all of them to others with their Rules and Opinions of the Mine-Workers by reason that their thoughts and presumptions are not only uncertain but oft-times wide and agree not together yet I really believe That God the Almighty Creator hath reserved these Mysteries to his Almightyness and that Gold Silver and all Metals through his Everlasting Word the Son of God from whom Heaven and Earth and all things which are in them have their Creation and Being are to this day preserved and multiplied and that the knowledge of them are come to clear light and published for his Glory and the good of Mankind for which glorious Guifts every one ought with pure Zeal to praise and thank God from his Heart and imploy all his dilligence and reason so that what he may have out of the Mine-Works may be used to the praise of God and to the profit help and advantage of his Neighbors whereby God the Almighty will not only bless it but also richly Multiply the Possessors of it and cause them to injoy it to the Salvation of their Souls Now may the Lord God Creator and Preserver of all Creatures be graciously pleased to open the hidden Treasures of the rich Gold Sope also of Gold Silver and all Metallick Veins for upholding the Posterity of the Poor Sons of Adam and by blessings and long continuance preserve them for his beloved Son our Lord Jesus Christs sake and that we may use them with thanks and praise Amen FINIS Fleta Minor Spagyrick LAWS The Second Part.
