the_o work_v go_v forward_o without_o the_o assistance_n of_o some_o public-spirited_a gentleman_n who_o both_o understand_v the_o art_n of_o mining_n and_o also_o compose_v of_o difference_n i_o think_v it_o my_o duty_n and_o interest_n to_o make_v a_o enquiry_n if_o possible_o i_o can_v find_v out_o such_o a_o person_n who_o will_v purchase_v the_o share_v late_o of_o sir_n carbery_n price_n and_o hearty_o engage_v for_o the_o public_a good_n but_o when_o all_o the_o qualification_n be_v consider_v that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v find_v in_o one_o person_n upon_o this_o occasion_n i_o presume_v your_o honour_n will_v be_v much_o incline_v to_o believe_v that_o i_o undertake_v no_o very_o easy_a task_n for_o when_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o honest_a gentleman_n i_o general_o find_v that_o he_o be_v very_o unskilful_a in_o matter_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o either_o unable_a or_o fearful_a to_o engage_v in_o so_o great_a a_o undertake_n and_o when_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o gentleman_n who_o have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o these_o thing_n i_o present_o perceive_v that_o he_o be_v for_o grasp_a at_o all_o and_z instead_o of_o be_v willing_a to_o grant_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o public_a good_a be_v still_o for_o get_v more_o for_o his_o own_o particular_a and_o private_a advantage_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n i_o find_v that_o some_o have_v money_n but_o no_o skill_n other_o have_v skill_n but_o no_o money_n some_o again_o have_v both_o skill_n and_o money_n which_o be_v very_o rare_a but_o yet_o want_v that_o generous_a and_o public_a spirit_n that_o be_v necessary_a in_o this_o case_n and_o wherever_o i_o find_v a_o person_n who_o be_v well_o dispose_v in_o the_o general_n and_o well_o qualify_v in_o other_o respect_n yet_o he_o either_o want_v courage_n to_o venture_v so_o great_a a_o sum_n of_o money_n or_o judgement_n to_o understand_v the_o present_a constitution_n of_o the_o company_n and_o how_o to_o amend_v they_o for_o the_o public_a good_n but_o at_o last_o when_o i_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n in_o despair_n and_o have_v give_v over_o all_o hope_n of_o success_n it_o be_v my_o fortune_n to_o travel_v to_o neath_n in_o glamorgan-shire_n where_o i_o have_v the_o favour_n of_o be_v admit_v to_o see_v the_o copper-work_n and_o coal-work_n of_o sir_n humphrey_n mackworth_n and_o have_v observe_v his_o new_a contrivance_n in_o the_o management_n thereof_o which_o be_v more_o than_o i_o have_v see_v before_o in_o any_o part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o take_v notice_n of_o his_o judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o law_n and_o also_o of_o his_o frank_a and_o generous_a disposition_n for_o the_o public_a good_a and_o that_o he_o be_v by_o no_o mean_n of_o a_o covetous_a or_o grasp_a temper_n but_o take_v delight_n in_o the_o advantage_n he_o bring_v to_o other_o especial_o the_o poor_a miner_n and_o labourer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o gain_v he_o get_v for_o himself_o i_o present_o conclude_v that_o he_o be_v the_o fit_a person_n i_o know_v to_o set_v the_o wheel_n a_o go_v with_o we_o in_o cardiganshire_n and_o i_o humble_o conceive_v your_o honour_n will_v all_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o discover_v the_o several_a emprovement_n i_o observe_v at_o his_o work_n many_o of_o which_o be_v yet_o keep_v as_o secret_n i_o must_v forbear_v to_o mention_v but_o his_o new_a method_n of_o coffer_v out_o the_o water_n from_o his_o shaft_n and_o sinking-pit_n and_o thereby_o prevent_v the_o charge_n of_o water-engine_n and_o also_o recover_v a_o large_a vein_n of_o coal_n by_o that_o mean_n which_o be_v in_o vain_a attempt_v by_o other_o artist_n and_o his_o new_a sailing-waggon_n for_o the_o cheap_a carriage_n of_o his_o coal_n to_o the_o waterside_n whereby_o one_o horse_n do_v the_o work_n of_o ten_o at_o all_o time_n but_o when_o any_o wind_n be_v stir_v which_o be_v seldom_o want_v near_o the_o sea_n one_o man_n and_o a_o small_a sail_n do_v the_o work_n of_o twenty_o which_o be_v public_a do_v sufficient_o show_v what_o his_o genius_n be_v capable_a of_o in_o matter_n of_o that_o nature_n and_o i_o believe_v he_o be_v the_o first_o gentleman_n in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n that_o have_v set_v up_o sailing-engine_n on_o land_n drive_v by_o the_o wind_n not_o for_o any_o curiosity_n or_o vain_a applause_n but_o for_o real_a profit_n whereby_o he_o can_v not_o fail_v of_o bishop_n wilkins_n blessing_n on_o his_o undertake_n in_o case_n he_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o bestow_v it_o but_o i_o must_v beg_v leave_n not_o only_o to_o mention_v these_o thing_n which_o however_o other_o may_v just_o value_v i_o know_v he_o be_v please_v to_o esteem_v but_o as_o accidental_a trifle_n that_o fall_v in_o his_o way_n but_o also_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o his_o prudent_a method_n for_o reduce_v all_o his_o undertake_n to_o a_o certainty_n free_a from_o hazard_n his_o copper-man_n work_v by_o the_o tun_n and_o his_o collier_n by_o the_o weigh_v at_o a_o certain_a price_n which_o be_v constant_o and_o punctual_o pay_v whereby_o as_o no_o fraud_n can_v happen_v to_o himself_o without_o a_o combination_n of_o all_o so_o good_a encouragement_n be_v give_v to_o the_o workman_n to_o be_v careful_a and_o industrious_a for_o their_o own_o interest_n as_o well_o as_o their_o master_n not_o to_o mention_v the_o convenient_a situation_n of_o his_o copper-work_n which_o be_v such_o that_o his_o man_n may_v run_v the_o coal_n with_o wheel-barrow_n into_o the_o very_a furnace_n and_o bring_v the_o oar_n by_o water_n within_o a_o stone_n be_v cast_v of_o the_o work_n nor_o his_o prudence_n in_o secure_v partner_n who_o have_v quantity_n of_o good_a copper_n oar_n to_o be_v smelted_a with_o his_o own_o coal_n before_o he_o begin_v his_o copper-work_n whereby_o the_o necessity_n of_o raise_v a_o great_a stock_n keep_v many_o agent_n and_o steward_n at_o great_a salary_n in_o several_a county_n and_o great_a hazard_n of_o bad_a bargain_n and_o bad_a oar_n with_o many_o other_o inconvenience_n incident_a to_o other_o undertake_n of_o that_o kind_n be_v all_o prevent_v and_o not_o only_o a_o great_a
