IN the Transcript of his Maiesties Indenture which you haue rehearsed there is further referrence vnto a manuscript Treatise or certaine schedules which are annexed vnto the grant which I pray you also rehearse vnto mee according to the Tenour of the words in the originall A. The manuscript Treatise of Metallica which otherwise is termed by the names of schedules in the Indenture is comprehended in these ten Sections following SECT 1. Metallica the generall of all Metallicall Arts. MEtallica mentioned in the petition is thus defined Metallica is an Art or Inuention shewing how diuers things and materials now made and atteined vnto in a very chargeable sort after the ordinary way may be made and attained vnto after a more cheaper manner and as with the help of common instruments so more especially by diuers new deuised Metallicall Instruments and meanes as in the printed treatise of Metallica more at large shall bee mentioned and expressed From these Metallicall Instruments the Art is generally called Metallica The doctrine of Metallica cannot distinctly be known or methodically expressed except that the Art which prescribeth precepts general to all Arts inuentions called Heuretica be first precognized R.

Metallica OR The Treatise of Metallica Briefly comprehending the Doctrine of diuerse new Metallicall Inuentions but especially how to neale melt and worke all kinde of mettle-oares Irons and Steeles with Sea-coale Pit-coale Earth-coale and Brush-fewell Also a Transcript of his Maiesties Letters Pattents of Priuiledge granted vnto Simon Sturteuant for the said Metallicall businesses for one and thirty yeares Published in Print before the last day of this present Easter Terme as the said Simon Sturteuant was by his Highnesse inioyned Imprinted at London by George Eld. Cum priuilegio Anno. 1612. May. 22. The Preface to the Reader GEntle Reader I am not ignorant how they that are willing to apprehend and assist new businesses are desirous to be satisfied in these points First concerning the perfect and exact knowledge of that Inuention wherein they are to deale and negotiate for as the common Prouerbe saith Ignoti nulla cupido The second is touching the worth and goodnesse of the businesse and how the benefit thereof may bee raised The third is the habillity of the Inuentioner to effect and performe his proiect propounded The fourth is concerning the manner of contracting or bargaining In all which I will endeauour to giue the best satisfaction that I may out of the praecepts and grounds of this present Treatise of Metallica And therefore concerning the first point The Transcript of his Maiesties most gratious grant and priuiledge doth euidently shew and informe the Reader that amongst many other inuentions granted for one and thirty yeares my Selfe my Executors Deputies and Assignes may onely make practise and put in vse within any of his Maiesties Realmes and Dominions the working melting and effecting of Iron Steele and other Mettles with Sea-coale or Pit-coale The principall end of which inuention is that the Woods and Timber of our country might be saued maintained and preserued from the great consumption and waste of our common Furnaces and Iron-Milnes which as they are now ordinarily built and framed can burne spend and consume no other fewell but Char coale The which deuise if it may bee effected accordingly as I make no doubt but by Gods blessing I shall will prooue to bee the best and most profitable businesse and Inuention that euer was knowne or inuented in England these many yeares For to speake nothing of the great benefit and profit which may bee raised and made by twenty other Inuentions comprised and comprehended vnder the Pattent the yearly vallew of this mettle-businesse alone will amount vnto 330. thousand pounds per annū after the second or third yeare as appeareth by this calculation A Calculation shewing how the Mettle Inuention or Art which maketh all kinde of Mettles or Metalique substance with Pit-coale or Sea-coale will bee worth per annum 330. thousand pounds immediatly after the two first yeares which are the allotted times for Tryalls and Conformities without any charges except the charges of Tryalls to the Pattentees Partners Assistants and Dealers THere are planted already in England and Wales eight hundred Milnes for the making of Iron for there are foure hundred Milnes in Surry Kent Sussex as the townesmen of Haslemore haue testified and numbred vnto mee there are also 200. Milnes in Wales and 20. in Nottinghamshire as the Author hath beene credibly informed Now wee may well suppose that all England Scotland and Ireland besides the forenamed shires will make vp the number of 180. Milnes more being in all 800. Milnes Moreouer one Milne alone spendeth yearly in Charcoale 500. pound and more as diuerse Clarkes and workmen in Iron businesse haue credibly testified which in pit-coale will be done with the charges of 30. or 40. pounds after the Inuentioners manner and inuention or at the most with 50. pound where carriage is farre and chargeable So that this new Inuention in the 800. Iron milnes will saue and gaine de claro the owners of those milnes 320. thousand pounds yearly ouer and aboue their ordinary and annuall gaines as it appeareth by this proportion One Milne alone saueth yearely 400. li. Ergo 800. Milnes saue yearly 320. thousand pounds Againe the said Metalique inuention beeing put and conuerted to Lead Tinne Copper Brasse and Glasse-mettle in all the seuerall Mineralls of England Scotland Ireland and Wales will questionlesse cleare yearely by meanes of Fewell aboue ten thousand pounds more ouer and besides the ordinary gaines in the said businesse So that the yearely Iron reuenues added vnto these other Metalique reuenues doe amount vnto 330. thousand pounds as was said before Now out of these Metalique gaines of 330. thousand pounds yearely the owners of the Milnes Hearths and Furnaces may haue and receiue liberall rates and proportions allowed and allotted vnto them ouer and besides their ordinary gaines onely in lieu of conforming their Furnaces Fineries and Chafferies to this Inuention of Pitt-coale and Earth-coale And also the Kings most excellent Maiestie the Prince his Highnesse the Duke of Yorke the Lord Vicount Rotchester and other parties interressed in the Pattent may by their Composition and agreement with the said Owners and Iron-Maisters yearely receiue by way of rents and licences the residew of that gaines which remaineth ouer and aboue that which was allotted and allowed to the Iron-Maisters for applying of this Inuention to their ordinary way of making of Iron as more fully shall bee specified shewed and prooued in the Apendix of this Treatise which I am now preparing for the Printer and the Presse with all conuenient speed This may suffice therefore to giue the Reader satisfaction concerning the two first points for the knowledge and the worth of the businesses and concerning the manner how certaine yearly annuities may bee raised to the dealers and assistants Now to perswade the third point that the Authour is able to effect the worke vndertaken in as ample manner as hee propoundeth wee plead and alledge as followeth First the Inuentioner by his study industrie and practise hath already brought to passe and published diuerse proiects and new deuises aswell Litterall as Mechannicall very beneficiall to the common-wealth His Literare Inuentions doe appeare and are knowne partly by his Printed Treatise of Dibere Adam which is a Scholasticall engin Aucomaton and partly in diuerse other Manuscripts which he hath to shew His new Mechanicks already performed are to bee seene in the Inuentions which hee calleth by the names of Presse-wares Wood-pleits Ballance Engin Baramyha and Hubla of all which in priuate speech hee is ready more largely to conferre and to manifest their truth and goodnesse at his Worke-houses at Islington and Highbury To conclude 1. Sam. 17.34 Thus Dauid reasoneth from the Beare and Lyon to Golyah the Gyant therefore he doubteth not but by Gods blessing assistance semblably with successe to effect his Inuention of Iron-works as also al his other Metallique deuises and Inuentions heere contained in the Patent or Priuiledge of Metallica Secondly the consideration of thinges in the
