 Drowning. 



WATER-WORKES. 



Beeing requested by many Gentlemen 

 of the best quality, to putt these Water- 

 workes in Print : I praied those ingenious 

 Gentlemen, (Sergeant Lowell and maister 

 Coult hurst) to speake what they thought 

 concerning the same. 



They both (under their handes by way 

 of subscription) said ; it would bee very 

 profitable to the Kingdome to be put in 

 execution : being of late a common thing 

 in Devonshire ; but, not in so ample 

 manner. 



For drayning of groundes Maister Levell 

 is Serjeant-Major of the same ; yet He say 

 as the meane Counsellor saith to the Serjeant 

 at Law; under favour (maister Serjeant) 

 He declare what I didde in your Element 

 of Drayning, beeing but Cousin-Germaine 

 removed to mine of Drowning. 



A Ring of ground (some foure-score 

 Acres) scituate stirrope-wise ; a Brook in 

 the upper-part crossing the same, in the 

 smaller point of his extent, there running 

 from Adams dayes in likely-hood: the 

 greater quantity of the ground from the 

 Creation never found : but stain'd with 

 the Boult, the Rush, a Quagmire coherent, 

 with many other Improjitables never 

 142 mowed,
