m on T) raft-Weaver, tho’ not acquainted with Draw- 
ing nor Painting ; hay, hardly knowing what Figure 
he is about, exadly produceth what the Painter hath 
reprefented in the original Pattern : And thus a 
Piece of 'tapeftry may be woven in a Month or two, 
which, in the common Way of 'workings would take 
up feveral Years : And what in the common Way cofts 
a thoufand Pounds, may, by this means, be afforded 
liner and better for a hundred Pounds. Therefore, it 
is likely, this 'woven Tapejtry may become a currant 
Merchandize ; and that many thoufand induftrious 
Families may be well employed about it. 
The main Secret of this Art confifts in drawing 
the Patterns , from which any common Draft - 
Weaver can mount the Loom ; and when that is 
done, the Piece may be made of any Size, by only 
widening the Reeds and the Warp j and a Reverfe 
may be made with the fame Eafej which is done by 
the Boy’s pulling the Lajhes up again in the fame Or- 
der in which he pull’d them down before ; by which 
Contrivance the Tapeftry may befuited to any Room, 
whether the Light comes in on the right Hand, or 
on the left. 
The Patterns are painted upon Paper, whereon 
are printed Squares from Copper Plates, and thefe fub- 
divided by as many Lines as anfwer to the Threads 
of the Warp, which run length- wife of the Piece j 
' then they try how many Threads of the Shoot anfwer 
in Breadth to every Subdivifion of the Squares. Every 
Thread of the Warp goes through a fmall Brafs Ring 
called a Male , or through, a Loop in the Leilb, and 
hath a fmall long Weight or Lingoe hung below, to 
counter-
