their own accord so as one may see the veins thereof at the very outside in the sides of the mohntains beeing not very broad but of great length and commonly divers in one place five or six ridges the one above the other with ridges of earth between them These Veins or Ridges are vulgarly called Pins from whence the Mine hath the name of Pin-mine being also called White-mine because of its whitish colour and Shel-mine for the following reason for this stuff or Oar being neither loose or soft as earth or clay neither firm and hard as stone is of a middle substance between both somewhat like unto Slate composed of shels or scales the which do lye one upon another and may be separated and taken asunder very easily without any great force or trouble This stuff is digged out of the ground in lumps of the bigness of a mans head bigger or less according as the Vein assordeth opportunitie Within every one of these lumps when the Mine is very rich and of the best sort for all the Oar of this kind is not of equall goodness some yeelding more and better Iron than other lyeth a small Kernell which hath the name of Hony-comb given to it because it is full of little holes in the same manner as that substance whereof it borroweth its appellation The Iron comming of this Oar is not brittle as that of the Rock-mine but tough and in many places as good as any Spanish Iron Sect. 6. Iron-works erected by the English The English having discovered these Mines endeavoured to improve the same to make profit of them and consequently severall Iron-works were erected by them in sundry pats of the Land ●s namely by the Earl of Cork in divers places in Munster by Sr Coarles Coot in the Counties of Roscomen and Letrim in Connaught and in Leinster by Mountrath in Queens-county by the Earl of London-derry at Ballonakill in the sayd County by the Lord Chancelour Sir Adam Loftus Vicount of Ely at Mount-melik in Kings-county by Sir Iohn Dunbar in Fermanagh in Ulster and another in the same County by the side of Lough-Earne by Sir Leonard Bleverhasset in the County of Tomond in Connaught by some London-Merchants besides some other Works in other places whose first Erectors have not come to my knowledge In imitation of these have also been erected divers Iron-works in sundry parts of the sea-coast of Ulster and Munster by persons who having no Mines upon or near their own Lands had the Oare brought unto them by sea out of England the which they found better cheap than if they had caused it to be fetched by land from some of the Mines within the land And all this by English whose industry herein the Irish have been so far from imitating as since the beginning of this Rebellion they have broke down and quite demolished almost all the fore-mentioned Iron-works as well those of the one as of the other sort CHAP. XVII Of the Iron-works their fashion charges of erecting and maintaining th●m and profit comming of them With an exact description of the manner of melting the Iron in them Sect. 1. The fashion of the Iron-works THe fashion of the Iron-works of whose erection we have spoke in the end of the foregoing Chapter is such as followeth At the end of a great Barn standeth a huge Furnace being of the height of a pike and a half or more and four-square in figure but after the manner of a Mault-kiln that is narrow below and by degrees growing wider towards the top so as the compass of the mouth or the top is of many fathoms This mouth is not covered but open all over so that the flame when the furnace is kindled rising through the same without any hindrance may be seen a great way off in the night and in the midst of the darkness maketh a terrible shew to travellers who do not know what it is These Ovens are not kindled with wood nor with sea-coal but meerly vvith char-coal whereof therefore they consume a huge quantity For the Furnace being once kindled is never suffered to go out but is continually kept a burning from the one end of the year to the other And the proportion of the coals to the Oare is very great For the Mine would not melt without an exceeding hot fire the which that it may be the more quick and violent it is continually blown day and night without ceasing by two vast pair of bellow● the which resting upon main peeces of timber and with their pipes placed into one of the sides of the Furnace are perpetually kept in action by the meanes of a great wheel which being driven about by a little brook or water-course maketh them rise and fall by turns so that whilst the one pair of bellows doth swell and fill it self with wind the other doth blow the same forth into the Furnace Sect. 2. Of the lesser Iron-works called Bloomeries Of the Hammer-works And of the Casting works There is another and lesser sort of Iron-works much different from the former For instead of a Furnace they use a Hearth therein altogether of the fashion of a Smiths Hearth whereon the Oare being layd in a great heap it is covered over with abundance of Charcoal the which being kindled is continually blown by Bellows that are moved by Wheeles and Water-courses in the same manner as in the other Works These Works commonly called Bloomeries are in use or were so before this Rebellion in sundry places of the North-parts of Ulster Besides these two sorts of Works where the Iron-mine is melted there is a third sort where the Iron after the first melting is hammered out into Bars of which we shall have occasion to speak more in the latter end of this present Chapter There were also in some parts of Ireland yet another kind of Iron-works differing from all the former where the Iron was cast into Ordnance Pots small round Furnaces and other things of which Works Mr Christopher Wandsworth Master of the Rolls of Ireland and in his latter dayes Lord Deputy of the same Kingdom under the Earl of Strafford then Lord Lieutenant thereof had one upon his lands by Idough in the County of Carloe whereof we cannot give the Reader any particulars because we have not yet been informed thereof Sect. 3. Conveniencies requisite to the erecting of an Iron-work In the erecting of these Works men seek to make them as near to the Mine as may be to get the more profit by them for the greater the distance is the greater are the charges in having the Oare brought from the Mine to the Furnace especially where all must be carried by land the which doth fall out so in far the most places But many times one is necessitated to make the Works a good way further from the Mine than otherwise one would because of the Water-courses the which being of very great consequence in the well-settling of a Work and absolutely

IRELANDS NATURALL HISTORY Being a true and ample Description of its Situation Greatness Shape and Nature Of its Hills Woods Heaths Bogs Of its Fruitfull Parts and profitable Grounds with the severall ways of Manuring and Improving the same With its Heads or Promontories Harbours Roads and Bays Of its Springs and Fountains Brooks Rivers Loghs Of its Metalls Mineralls Free-stone Marble Sea-coal Turf and other things that are taken out of the ground And lastly of the Nature and temperature of its Air and Season and what diseases it is free from or subject unto Conducing to the Advancement of Navigation Husbandry and other profitable Arts and Professions Written by Gerard Boate late Doctor of Physick to the State in Ireland And now Published by SAMUELL HARTLIB Esq For the Common Good of Ireland and more especially for the benefit of the Adventurers and Planters therein Imprinted at London for Iohn Wright at the Kings Head in the Old Baily 1657. To His Excellency OLIVER CROMWEL Captain Generall of the Common-wealths Army in England Scotland and Ireland and Chancellor of the University of OXFORD AND To the Right Honorable CHARLES FLEETWOOD Commander in Chief under the Lord Generall Cromwell of all the Forces in IRELAND Right Honorable IT is a very great and signal Truth that all the works of God are both wonderfull and precious much sought out by all those that love him and it is the guilt of the wicked that as they regard not the Lord so they consider not the Operation of his hands for the Lord hath revealed his Truth even his Godhead and his Eternall Power by his Workes that such as respect him not in the Creation of the World and in the wayes of his Providence may be without excuse Now it se●ms to mee that the end for which God hath not left himself without a Testimony in Nature is not onely that we should in our spirit glorifie him as God and be thankfull but that also our Outward Man should bee made sensible of his goodness and partake of that supply of life which by his appointment the Creature can yeeld unto us if happily wee may feel after him and find him therein So that such as respect him not in his wayes of Nature being careless to seek them out do make themselves also incapable of the blessings of Nature through their ignorance and neglect of the good things which God hath provided for them thereby for all things are Ours things present and things to come and Godliness hath the promise of the life that now is aswell as of that which is to come for as by the act of Faith we are made capable of the good things of the life to come because by the truth of God as it is the Object of our Faith they have a spirituall being and Subsistence in us so by the act of Reason rightly ordered we are made partakers of the benefit of this life because by the effect of Gods Wisedom and Power in Nature as they are the Objects of our Reasonable facultie they have a bodily being and subsistence in us and as the Wisdom of God doth many wayes manifest it self not only in Spirituall but also in Outward and Bodily things so there are many parts of Humane Learning some wherof are subservient to the Private life of a single man some to the comforts and Publick Use of a Societie and amongst all these parts of Learning which relate to a Society I can conceive none more profitable in Nature than that of Husbandry For whether we reflect upon the first settlement of a Plantation to prosper it or upon the wealth of a Natiō that is planted to increase it this is the Head spring of al the native Commerce Trading which may bee set afoot therein by any way whatsoever Now to advance Husbandry either in the production and perfectiō of earthly benefits or in the management thereof by way of Trading I know nothing more usefull than to have the knowledg of the Natural History of each Nation advanced perfected For as it is evident that except the benefits which God by Nature hath bestowed upon each Country bee known there can be no Industrie used towards the improvement and Husbandry thereof so except Husbandry be improved the industrie of Trading whereof a Nation is capable can neither be advanced or profitably upheld There is a twofold body and a twofold life in man which God hath created the one is Naturall the other Spiritual the Apostle tells us that the Spirituall is not first but the Naturall and afterward that which is Spirituall as the Bodies and lives of men are ordered by God so we must conceive of the frames of their Societies that the Naturall is before that which is Spirituall that in Gods aime it is a preparatory thereunto although in the use which men make thereof this aime is not obtained for seeing in the wisdom of God the world by wisdome hath not known God therefore God is pleased by another way which to the World doth seem foolishness to manifest his Power and his Wisdome unto salvation namely by the Preaching of the Gospel in the name of Iesus Christ and him crucified and although hitherto since the death of Christ the dispensation of wisdome hath not yet opened the conduit pipes of Natural Knowledge to cause the souls of men flow forth partake of the life of God therein by reason of the prevalencie of Sensuall inclinations of the want of due reflection upon Christ in whom alone the perfect use of Nature is brought home to the glory of the Father by the Spirit yet when the time of the Restauration of all things shall come from the presence of him who will come shortly and will not tarry then the works of the Devill whereby he hath brought us the whole Creation under the bondage of Corruption shall be destroied when the Nature right use of the Creature by his meanes obscured shall be revealed then also the properties and application of the Creature in the glorious liberty of the sonnes of God shall be subjected unto Grace These great and mighty Changes which God is making in the Earth do tend to break the yokes of Vanity and to weaken the Power which hath wreathed the same upon the necks of the Nations these Changes seem to me to presage the neer approaches of this Liberty and the advancement of the ways of Learning whereby the Intellectuall Cabinets of Nature are opened and the effects therof discovered more fully to us than to former Ages seem in like manner to prepare a plainer Address unto the right use thereof for us than our forefathers have had which will be effectuall to the manifestation of Gods Wisdome Power and Goodness when the great promises shall be accomplished that the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea that we shall be taught
