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. ...

do_v separate_v your_o quicksilver_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o water_n and_o dry_v it_o and_o weigh_v it_o if_o you_o find_v the_o quantity_n considerable_a than_o you_o may_v proceed_v in_o this_o manner_n first_o make_v a_o hole_n in_o the_o earth_n with_o very_o good_a temper_a clay_n that_o will_v hold_v water_n and_o let_v it_o be_v narrow_a in_o the_o bottom_n and_o wide_a and_o wide_o above_o to_o the_o top_n to_o the_o breadth_n of_o 2._o or_o 3._o or_o 4._o yard_n then_o fill_v the_o pit_n with_o water_n &_o lay_v over_o it_o bar_v of_o iron_n of_o sufficient_a strength_n and_o thickness_n to_o bear_v the_o burden_n that_o must_v lie_v upon_o it_o and_o let_v they_o lie_v so_o near_o together_o that_o the_o stone_n &_o wood_n can_v fall_v through_o then_o lay_v thereupon_o a_o leer_n of_o dry_a wood_n and_o a_o leer_n of_o your_o red_a stone_n not_o break_v small_a and_o so_o do_v again_o till_o it_o be_v a_o yard_n thick_a or_o more_o then_o give_v fire_n to_o it_o on_o the_o wind_n side_n and_o go_v away_o out_o of_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o fume_n till_o you_o see_v a_o far_o off_o that_o the_o fire_n be_v finish_v and_o burn_v quite_o out_o then_o repair_n to_o your_o work_n and_o let_v out_o the_o water_n through_o a_o pipe_n of_o lead_n which_o shall_v be_v former_o lay_v almost_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o pit_n into_o another_o pit_n near_o to_o it_o make_v so_o deep_a that_o it_o may_v receive_v the_o water_n and_o in_o the_o bottom_n you_o shall_v find_v great_a store_n of_o quicksilver_n if_o the_o mine_n be_v good_a the_o water_n may_v be_v pump_v up_o again_o to_o serve_v the_o next_o day_n for_o the_o same_o use_n and_o you_o need_v but_o to_o take_v up_o a_o few_o of_o the_o bar_n of_o iron_n every_o day_n to_o go_v down_o into_o the_o pit_n to_o take_v out_o your_o quicksilver_n
