that has not been proved within Man’s Memory^ At 
Faringdon they have the fame Veins, which, as I am 
informed, agree in all Parts With thofe of Bi(l36p-Sutton 
before-mention’d. But as Faringdon lies four Miles 
South-Eaft {tomBijhop-Sutton, fo, in the regular Courfe, 
they would lye a Mile and deeper than thofe at Sm^ 
ton. But as in faift they are dug near the fame Depth, 
it follows there mull be a Trap, or feverai Traps down, 
which in all mud amount to that Depth between, the 
faid Works; 
Between Faringdon and High-Littleton tht fame Veins

their undermoft and deeped Vein is the bed Coal, 
which at Faringdon proves fmall. 
On the other hand, in the Parilh of Stanton^Drew, 
to the North* Ead of the Coal- Works at Sutton afore- 
faid, about a Mile didant, and in the true Courfe 
with thofe at Sutton, the fame Veins are found again. 
But here they wind a little, and their Courfe or Drift 
runs almod North, and they dip to the Ead ; which 
Winding is attributed to Ridges, which the Workmen 
have met with on both Sides, and have occafion’d them 
to difeontinue the Work that way. At Stanton they 
have little of the Red Earth or Malm on the Surface, 
but come immediately to an Iron-Gritt or grey Tile- 
Stone, which is a Fore-runner of the CoaUClives ; in all 
other Matters they agree with the Works near Stowy: 
In the fame Parilh of Stanton- Drew, a little to the 
Eadward, they have another Coahwork, but the Veins 
are in all refpe<ds different from the former. Their 
Drift or Courfe is to the Eleven a-Clock Sun, as they 
term it, they Titch to the Five a Clock Morning, and 
rife to land ; confequently to the Five a- Clock Evening- 
Sun. They have feverai Veins, but as yet only three are 
thought worth working. The uppermod about three
