atetyunto a little Gravel, or Stonynefs, in which 

 this water is, and fometimes below this, in an hun- 

 gry Gravel, and many times this Gravel or Stony- 

 nefs lieth lower : But in boggy LanditJufually lieth 

 deeper then in rufhy ; but to the bottom, where the- 

 fpewing Spring lyeth, you muftgoe, and one fpades 

 depth, or graft beneath, how deep foever it be, if 

 you will drain the Land to purpofe. 



And for the matter or Bog-maker, that is moft 

 eaftly difcover'd, for fometimes it lieth within tv\o 

 foot of the top of the ground, and fometimes, and 

 very ufually within three or four foot, yet fome lie 

 far deeper, hx, eight, or nine foot, and all thefe are 

 feazable to be wrought, and the Bog to be difovered ; 

 but until thou come part the black Earth, or Turf, 

 which ufually is two or three foot thick, unto ano- 

 ther fort of earth, and fometimes unto old Wood, 

 and Trees,(I mean the proportion and form thereof, 

 but the nature is turned as foft and tender as the 

 Earth it felf) which have lain there no man knows 

 bov long ; and then to a white Earth many times,like 

 1 ■ime,which the Tanner & White-Tawer takes out of 

 their Lime-pits, and then to a Gravel, or Sand where 

 the water lieth, and then one Spades depth clearly 

 under this,whi<h is indeed nothing elfe but a Spring, 

 that would fun burft forth at fome certain place, 

 which if it did clearly break out, and ran quick and 

 lively, as other Springs doe, your Bog would die,. 

 but being held down by the power and weight of the 

 Earth, trnt oppofeth the Spring, which boils and 

 works up into the eirth, as it were, blows it up, and 

 filleth the earth with winde, as I may call it, and 

 makes it fvvell and rife like a Puff-Bail, as feldom or 

 never you Avail finde any Bog, but it lieth higher, 

 and riling from the adjacent Land to it, fo that I be- 

 lieve
