 made) to keep your corne in the chaffe, free from Hogs 

 or Hens, or two legged or foure-hand Thieves, &c. free 

 from the danger of heating or growing as long as you 

 please, and at an hours warning to make purely cleane 

 as little or as much as you please, without any more 

 then one person engaged, except for great quantities, 

 and then but two at most, and that but for a while ; 

 from hence we can for a need draw it without cattell 

 into the field to sowe, or into the Market to sel; 

 and so this double invention never forsakes the good 

 husband, till his hands be quit of it till next year, or 

 for ever. 



And if any ground be over flowed against the owners 

 will, or to his hurt, the Engine is ready to dresse it 

 and lay it dry ; or if too dry by nature to flood it ; or 

 if too dry by accident, that is by drought, to 

 water it, morning or evening, as there is cause, with 

 more ease, lesse charge, and a more regular way by 

 farre, then any Garden is watered, so shall thy Crop 

 flourish when thy neighbours (that takes not the same 

 course) shal fade away. And in ground that afibrds 

 any Cole-pits, or other deep Mines, it will take them 

 up with more ease, speed, and lesse charge ; or if you 

 build a stately house, the Engine will much facilitate 

 the work both in respect of time and charge.
