A09740	A discovery of subterraneall treasure viz. of all manner of mines and mineralls, from the gold to the coale; with plaine directions and rules for the finding of them in all kingdoms and countries. And also the art of melting, refining, and assaying of them is plainly declared, so that every ordinary man, that is indifferently capacious, may with small change presently try the value of such oares as shall be found either by rule or by accident. Whereunto is added a reall experiment whereby every ignorant man may presently try whether any peece of gold that shal come to his hands be true or connterfeit [sic] ... Also a perfect way to try what colour any berry, leafe, flower, stalke, root, fruit, seed, barke, or wood will give: with a perfect way to make colours that they shall not stayne nor fade like ordinary colours. ...

the_o operation_n of_o gold_n and_o real_a experiment_n whereby_o any_o man_n may_v present_o try_v whether_o any_o piece_n of_o gold_n be_v true_a or_o counterfeit_n without_o deface_v or_o alter_v the_o form_n thereof_o as_o for_o the_o melt_a of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v find_v mix_v with_o silver_n oare_n as_o oftentimes_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v melt_v refine_a and_o part_v from_o the_o silver_n with_o aquafortis_n as_o be_v before_o declare_v and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o five_o time_n as_o much_o silver_n as_o there_o be_v gold_n in_o the_o composition_n than_o you_o must_v put_v to_o so_o much_o or_o else_o the_o aquafortis_n will_v not_o dissolve_v it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v find_v in_o grain_n or_o powder_n as_o often_o time_n it_o be_v than_o you_o must_v put_v to_o it_o borax_n in_o stead_n of_o sandiver_n and_o salt_n peter_n and_o so_o melt_v it_o down_o as_o you_o do_v the_o other_o oar_n before_o mention_v now_o for_o so_o much_o as_o this_o

it_o be_v oftentimes_o find_v in_o the_o sand_n in_o river_n let_v no_o man_n think_v that_o it_o can_v be_v generate_v there_o but_o that_o the_o swift_a motion_n of_o the_o water_n from_o the_o
