❧ The seuerall Engines that Nichol●s Bloy Enginer professeth , be Nyne in number ; These as followeth .

THE first , is the perpetuall motion , commonly called the continuall Wheele , which Wheele goeth without Wind , Water , Man , or Horse , or anything that breaths .

It will grinde all kind of Corne , or oraine , as sufficiently as euer was or can be either by Wind-mill , or Water-mill .

It will serue for the drayning of Fends or Marish grounds .

It serueth for drayning of Cole pits , Lead-mines , Cynne-mines , and all other Mynes of Mettals .

It serueth for Oyle-milles , Iron milles , Smeltin of Lead , Sawing of Tymber , beating of Hempe , and many other good purposes .

The Second , is the wheele Pro & Contra , which Wheele goeth by the labour of one man , by which wheele more stuffe may bee drawne out of the ground as Cole , Lead , Stone , Earth , Water , or any other mettal , then euer was yet done by the labour of Ten men .

The Third , is the Attractiue Pegasus , it serueth for the drayning of Cole pits , Lead-mines , Tynne-mynes , and all other Mynes of Mettals .

The Fourth , is the High periticall Assistant , a very necessary Engine at the foot of Pegasus , to send home the water to him , that he may raise it out at the day .

The Fift , is the Lacune Rampant , it serueth to draine Fends & Marish grounds it will raise 300. Tons of water in an houre with the labour of one man , it will raise water out of a standing poole to driue any Water-mill , and that with the labour of one man , besides a very necessary Engine for ships at Sea .

The Sixt , is the Ignipotent Carpim , for if there be a Seare-fire in a Towne , one man with that Engine shall doe more good for the staking of the said Fire , then can be done by Forty men any other way ; it serueth also to water Gardens as raine from Heauen , it will beat Catterpillers from fruit trees and Arbours , and that in an excellent manner .

The Seaueth , is the Saxipotent Engine , it serueth to pierce the stony Rockes for speedy getting to the Cole , Lead , Tynne , or any other mettals .

The Eight , is the Dampe Engine , for it driueth the dampe out of the ground for the preseruation of al that shal worke therin , & that with the labour of one man .

The Nynth , is the Engine Triangula , it bringeth the water out of the very top of a pit , and it runneth in Pipes down the Hill side naturally after it be once set a worke , much after the maner of a perpetuall motion , for it neuer can stand ( except it be stopped or stayed ) so long as there is any water in the pit .

All these Nyne Engines haue beene studyed and practised by me Nicholas Bloy Enginer .
