Then he takes the Handle of his _Ladle_ in his right Hand, and with the _Boll_ of it gives a stroak two or three outwards upon the _Surface_ of the _Melted Mettal_ to scum or clear it from the Film or Dust that may swim upon it. Then takes up the _Ladle_ full of _Mettal_, and having his _Mold_ as aforesaid in his left hand, he a little twists the left-side of his _Body_ from the _Furnance_, and brings the _Geat_ of his _Ladle_ (full of _Mettal_) to the _Mouth_ of the _Mold_, and twists the upper part of his right-hand towards him to turn the _Mettal_ into it, while at the same moment of Time he Jilts the _Mold_ in his left hand forwards to receive the _Mettal_ with a strong _Shake_ (as it is call’d) not only into the _Bodies_ of the _Mold_, but while the _Mettal_ is yet hot, running swift and strongly into the very _Face_ of the _Matrice_ to receive its perfect Form there, as well as in the _Shanck_. Then he takes the upper half of the _Mold_ off the under-half, by placing his right-Hand Thumb on the end of the _Wood_ next his left-Hand Thumb, and his two middle-Fingers at the other end of the _Wood_, and finding the Letter and _Break_ lie in the under-Half of the _Mold_ (as most commonly by reason of its weight it does) he throws or tosses the Letter _Break_ and all upon a Sheet of Waste-Paper laid for that purpose on the _Bench_ just a little beyond his left-hand, and is then ready to _Cast_ another Letter as before, and also the whole number that is to be _Cast_ with that _Matrice_. But sometimes it happens that by a _Shake_, or too big a _Ladle_, the Mettal may spill or slabber over the _Mouth_ of the upper Half of the _Mold_, so that the spilt _Mettal_ sticking about the outsides of the _Mouth_, may lift the Letter off the under-half of the _Mold_, and keep it in the upper half. Therefore he with the point of the _Hag_ in the Wood of the under-half of the _Mold_, picks at the hollow in the fore part of the _Break_ made by the _Shaking_ out of the _Mettal_, and draws _Break_ and _Letter_ both out. It sometimes sticks in the under Half of the _Mold_ by the same cause, and then he uses the point of the _Hag_ in the upper half of the _Mold_, to pick or hale it out, as before. It also sometimes sticks when any of the Joynts of the _Mold_ open never so little, the _Mettal_ thus getting in between those Joynts: But this fault is not to be indured, for before he can _Cast_ any more, this fault must be mended.
