WATER-WORKES. 



strange unto you ; But, if you did see the 

 manner of the worke, you would say it 

 could not bee otherwise exprest. 



The traversing-trench, is, that which 

 receives the water from the counter-trench; 

 and the Stanke-royall (running on a whorle, 

 his since being taken up) is received by a 

 Bastard-s/uce, which doth disperse on both 

 sides the Trenche; and that's the cause I 

 call it a Traversing-trench. 



My ever lasting- trench endures more 

 trouble then all the rest : the Trench- 

 royal! running at a floud-time (as a shipp 

 under-saile, beeing Admirall of the rest) 

 and having determined of all the duties 

 of the severall Stankes, Trenches, and hand- 

 maide brookes, they humble them-selves to 

 the Stanke-royall ; and prayes no longer 

 continuance there, then they proove pro- 

 fitable to that place: which is so long as 

 they carry filth in their fore-heads.. (I meane 

 a muddy floud) and declining to a cleere 

 water, the everlasting-trenche receives it to 

 his common course, with as much joye to 

 the Maister as may bee. 



I cannot well give significant names 

 to all those Trenches, which I call trouble- 

 some ; therefore I pray I may bee for- 

 117 borne 



What the 

 traversing- 

 trench is. 



What the 

 everlasting- 

 trench doth.
