no_o reason_n can_v be_v oppose_v but_o only_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o proposal_n make_v they_o seem_v improbable_a and_o though_o every_o new_a trade_n and_o voyage_n the_o merchant_n contrive_v be_v at_o first_o a_o project_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n the_o trade_n to_o the_o east-indies_n turkey_n africa_n and_o hudson_n bay_n etc._n etc._n be_v mere_a project_n in_o the_o original_a and_o though_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o these_o mine_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o project_n in_o some_o respect_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o uncertainty_n before_o they_o have_v find_v the_o vein_n yet_o i_o can_v now_o allow_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o undertake_n that_o so_o much_o as_o look_n like_o a_o project_n since_o every_o thing_n be_v reduce_v to_o a_o certainty_n beforehand_o the_o vein_n be_v long_o since_o discover_v fix_a and_o settle_v betwixt_o their_o firm_a and_o solid_a side_n many_o hundred_o tun_n of_o oar_n get_v out_o of_o they_o till_o the_o water_n grow_v troublesome_a and_o the_o partner_n can_v not_o agree_v to_o raise_v a_o sufficient_a stock_n for_o bring_v up_o a_o level_n to_o drain_v the_o water_n from_o they_o but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o thousand_o acre_n of_o the_o rich_a meadow-ground_n and_o have_v no_o stock_n of_o cattle_n himself_o nor_o will_v buy_v a_o stock_n or_o rend_v the_o same_o out_o to_o other_o that_o have_v one_o all_o that_o rich_a land_n must_v lie_v dead_a and_o unprofitable_a and_o yet_o without_o any_o disparagement_n to_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o land_n so_o if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o rich_a mine_n in_o the_o world_n even_o potozi_n itself_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o will_v himself_o to_o raise_v a_o competent_a stock_n to_o make_v level_n etc._n etc._n and_o carry_v on_o the_o

this_o accident_n do_v not_o lessen_v the_o intrinsic_a value_n of_o the_o mine_n to_o man_n that_o have_v both_o stock_n and_o skill_n to_o managethem_n and_o to_o such_o it_o be_v not_o doubt_v but_o these_o mine_n in_o a_o few_o year_n will_v be_v worth_a above_o a_o million_o of_o money_n for_o to_o return_v if_o this_o great_a vein_n will_v yield_v so_o much_o alone_o what_o will_v all_o the_o other_o vein_n yield_v which_o be_v five_o in_o number_n beside_o the_o two_o copper_n vein_n and_o take_v one_o with_o another_o more_o large_a than_o any_o in_o the_o north_n but_o if_o my_o
