500 APPENDIX. 



with, and by this Engine either defect is remediable, that is to 

 say, water necessary to man-kind, furnished with the pleasantness 

 thereof, procured, and the water unnecessary, as easily rejected. 



Thus whole Cities may be kept Clean, Delightful and &quot;Wholesome, 

 needing no other Scavengery then by means thereof to void their 

 dirt, and avoid noisomness, the Cause of Infection, Sicknesses, and 

 Contagion it self, by Stenches commonly ingendring and fomenting 

 the same. 



After the Act of Parliament, there is here set down a Latin 

 JElogium, & an English PanegincJc, both of them composed through 

 duty and gratitude by an Antient Servant of his Lordships, pre 

 suming to begin the way to the greatest Wits and Poets to dilate 

 upon so plentiful and admirable a Theam, and so deserving a person 

 of King and Kingdom, and of all that ever knew him. 



This Antient Servant of his Lordships, hath for forty years been an 

 eye witness of his great ingenuity, indefatigable pains, and vaste ex- 

 pences in perfecting for publique service, not onely this most Stupen- 

 dious &quot;Water commanding Engine, but likewise several other rare, 

 useful, and never formerly heard of Mathematical Conclusions, of 

 which he hath owned a Century, and thereunto I refer you : though 

 this alone were enough to eternalize his Name to all Ages and future 

 times. 



I think it not amiss to give further notice in his Lordships behalf, 

 that he intends within a moneth or two to erect an Office, and to 

 intrust some very responsible and honourable persons with power to 

 Treat and Conclude with such as desire at a reasonable rate to reap 

 the benefit of the same Water-commanding Engine, in any of the 

 aforesaid useful and beneficial operations, whereof his Majesty is to 

 reap the first fruit ; and then the whole Kingdom in general, before 

 his Lordship is re-imbursed, and his reward beginneth ; whose laud 

 able inventions Almighty God prosper with blessings on earth, and 

 reward in heaven.
