WATER-WORKES. 



The good Lord hearing all these wordes, 

 (able to raise a Spirit) sayd : Cousin art 

 thou out of thy witts? 



My Lord for distinction sake (said I) 

 I must give them significant names, such 

 as my servants attending my Winter and 

 Sommer-Drownings may understand to 

 execute my commands. 



So, my Lord, I having given satisfac- 

 tion to the honourable person, I will make 

 it most plainly appeare to your Lord- 

 shippe how fecible this Worke is: that 

 all Cynick-Doggs or Lamb-biters^ may with 

 shame be silenced, and their foule Mouthes 

 muzled. 



It is yet wondered at, by almost <z//,how 

 a particular and private Gentleman should 

 bee able to bring all this to passe. 



But my good Lord (on my behalf) I 

 humbly pray you to pray all of the better 

 sort, to bee sparing of their censures herein ; 

 for artlesse-^/^j-seldome hitts the marke. 



I would that no man should say, I doe 

 it out of ambition or other sinister respect: 

 for the Rule of Charity is : in cases doubt- 

 full, wee should judge the best. 



But if any (notwithstanding) should 



bee so injurious to say so, then (my 



75 LORD) 



To speake 

 what we 

 know not, is 

 to think what 

 we should 

 not.
