many_o vein_n in_o number_n as_o large_a as_o rich_a as_o near_o the_o surface_n with_o as_o deep_a a_o level_n at_o each_o end_n of_o the_o hill_n and_o as_o near_o the_o sea_n as_o we_o and_o also_o as_o large_a a_o stock_n as_o we_o have_v they_o may_v raise_v as_o much_o oar_n and_o make_v as_o much_o profit_n but_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v never_o yet_o read_v or_o hear_v that_o any_o part_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n have_v such_o vein_n as_o these_o with_o all_o the_o advantage_n aforesaid_a and_o if_o they_o want_v any_o of_o they_o they_o will_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n for_o some_o

in_o a_o month_n or_o more_o other_o vein_n be_v so_o trouble_v with_o water_n that_o three_o part_n of_o four_o of_o the_o time_n and_o labour_n of_o the_o workman_n be_v spend_v in_o keep_v the_o

the_o profit_n at_o five_o pound_n per_fw-la tun_n will_v be_v one_o hundred_o and_o two_o thousand_o and_o four_o hundred_o pound_n a_o year_n i_o protest_v i_o can_v tell_v what_o can_v be_v say_v against_o this_o nor_o why_o you_o may_v not_o double_v the_o man_n again_o and_o make_v as_o much_o more_o suppose_v the_o fact_n be_v true_a that_o you_o have_v such_o large_a vein_n merch._n i_o

profit_n will_v be_v with_o alarge_v stock_n and_o a_o good_a management_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o be_o not_o for_o raise_v the_o mine_n to_o too_o high_a a_o value_n so_o i_o be_o not_o for_o lessen_v the_o true_a value_n of_o they_o and_o thereby_o discourage_v the_o partner_n provide_v they_o do_v not_o mistake_v and_o expect_v that_o profit_n present_o which_o be_v only_o propose_v in_o some_o year_n hereafter_o and_o this_o caution_n be_v careful_o observe_v i_o must_v then_o own_o that_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n a_o great_a part_n thereof_o have_v not_o only_o be_v

we_o be_v not_o now_o capable_a of_o see_v so_o much_o in_o the_o great_a vein_n as_o in_o the_o old_a partner_n time_n by_o reason_n the_o shaft_n since_o they_o leave_v off_o work_v be_v fall_v in_o and_o the_o work_v drown_v with_o water_n yet_o we_o can_v still_o see_v so_o much_o at_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o ground_n as_o give_v very_o great_a satisfaction_n to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v skilled_a in_o mineral_n work_v for_o they_o see_v plain_o that_o there_o be_v several_a vein_n bear_v oar_n at_o the_o day_n near_o the_o surface_n betwixt_o firm_a and_o solid_a side_n and_o whatever_o may_v have_v happen_v in_o other_o county_n where_o they_o have_v general_o belly_n of_o oar_n or_o where_o the_o vein_n do_v lie_v betwixt_o limestone_n sills_n or_o side_n or_o where_o the_o sills_n do_v often_o change_v yet_o i_o be_o full_o satisfy_v by_o information_n from_o the_o old_a miner_n in_o that_o county_n of_o cardigan_n where_o all_o the_o vein_n lie_v between_o

all_o the_o patentee_n of_o royal_a mine_n that_o any_o settle_a vein_n as_o these_o be_v in_o the_o county_n of_o cardigan_n which_o do_v bear_v oar_n at_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o ground_n do_v
