as a hand-maid to the maine River, to 

 attend your pleasure Winter and Sommer. 



I would have you suffer some Water 

 to runne therein continually : Which con- 

 tinuall running will scowre your Trench, 

 and lett all filth from falling therein : and 

 if it should fall you are driven to often 

 cleansing it. 



Beeing sometimes with Water and 

 sometimes without, the Mole or Want 

 instantly possesseth the same, and workes 

 along the Trench an Arrow shoote in 

 length : And it beeing so exceeding 

 moist, makes many Holes, cleane through 

 into the maine River, and at your next 

 turning in of the Water will it issue out 

 at every particular Hole; and your Trench, 

 beeing but foure or five foote from the 

 River, the Ground beeing too much 

 moistned, falleth or calveth downe into 

 the same. 



It's not sufficient when you have con- 

 veyed your Water from your first Sluce 

 into the Body of your ground or bracing- 

 trench, then to give it liberty to runne 

 a-heade: for so will it fall into the lowest 

 part ; but you must govern and lead it, 

 beginning at the highest of the ground,
