the_o most_o curious_a thing_n which_o appear_v in_o the_o digging_z of_o the_o well_n and_o when_o the_o water_n spring_v up_o be_v remark_v but_o that_o i_o may_v not_o keep_v the_o reader_n long_o in_o suspense_n you_o must_v know_v for_o a_o certain_a truth_n which_o many_o thousand_o of_o experiment_n have_v already_o confirm_v that_o in_o any_o place_n within_o or_o without_o the_o city_n for_o some_o mile_n round_o one_o may_v open_v a_o spring_n which_o shall_v constant_o send_v forth_o most_o pure_a water_n and_o see_v every_o citizen_n may_v take_v out_o of_o this_o great_a stock_n as_o much_o water_n for_o his_o private_a uses_n as_o he_o please_v without_o fear_n of_o wrong_v the_o public_a or_o be_v fine_v for_o it_o therefore_o when_o any_o will_v have_v a_o spring_n in_o his_o own_o house_n he_o call_v some_o workman_n and_o have_v agree_v for_o the_o price_n which_o for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v not_o exceed_v the_o sum_n of_o forty_o crown_n he_o show_v they_o the_o place_n which_o he_o think_v most_o fit_a and_o they_o without_o further_a consideration_n dig_v a_o well_o in_o a_o place_n mark_v out_o for_o they_o and_o when_o they_o have_v come_v to_o the_o depth_n of_o about_o 63_o foot_n they_o pierce_v the_o bottom_n with_o a_o great_a auger_n which_o when_o it_o have_v be_v drive_v down_o 5_o foot_n deep_a immediate_o the_o water_n gush_v out_o

moreover_o that_o which_o in_o dig_v these_o well_n give_v the_o great_a trouble_n to_o the_o workman_n be_v the_o great_a abundance_n of_o water_n flow_v from_o the_o side_n by_o which_o they_o be_v sometime_o much_o trouble_v till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o depth_n of_o 28_o foot_n where_o first_o the_o potter_n clay_n begin_v to_o appear_v and_o therefore_o to_o keep_v off_o these_o water_n which_o be_v none_o of_o the_o clean_a when_o they_o first_o break_v earth_n they_o make_v a_o well_o pretty_a large_a drawing_z out_o the_o water_n that_o flow_v together_o on_o every_o side_n till_o

the_o water_n and_o the_o resistance_n of_o the_o stop_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o when_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o same_o pipe_n d_o f_o shall_v only_o be_v stop_v in_o part_n the_o ascent_n of_o

that_o the_o ascent_n of_o the_o water_n do_v not_o so_o exact_o answer_v to_o the_o great_a or_o lesser_a obstacle_n put_v to_o the_o hole_n of_o the_o pipe_n because_o perhaps_o of_o the_o
