Let there be prepared a strong table, with a sweepe fastened at the one
end thereof, to lift up and downe; unto the end of the sweepe, let
there be linked a peece of yron hauing two rods of length sufficient;
let there bee made a hole quite through the midst of this table, whose
diameter let be about fiue or six inches; then prouide two peeces of
brasse in forme of hattes, but let the brim of the uppermost be but
about one inch broad, and haue diuers little holes round about it; also
in the crown of this must bee placed a large succur, and ouer it a half
globe, from the top of which, must proceed a hollow trunke aboute a
yard long, and of a good wide bore; then take good liquored leather, 2
or 3 times double, & put betweene the board and the brims of this, and
with diuers little screws put through the holes of the brimme, screw it
fast unto the top of the table. Note that the table must bee leathered
also underneath the compasse of the brimme of the lower brasse. Now the
lowermost brasse must be of equal diameter (in hollownesse) unto the
other, but it must be more spirall towards the bottome, and must haue
eyther a large clacke or succur fastned in it; also the brim of this
must be larger then that of the uppermost, and haue two holes made
about the midst on each side one; bore then 2 holes in the table, on
each side of the brasse one, answerable unto the holes of the brim of
the lower brasse, throgh which holes put the two rods, of the yron
hanged unto the sweepe through them, and riuet them strongly into the
holes of the lower brasse. Place this in water, and by mouing the
sweepe up and downe, it will with greater violence cast the water on
high.

Let there bee a large pot or vessell, hauing at the side a peece of
wood made hollow, hauing a clacke of leather with a peece of lead upon
it, within the vessell also let there be a pipe through the top of the
vessell, reaching almost to the botom of it: at the top of which let
there be a round hollow ball, and on it a small cocke of brasse. Note
that if you fill the said vessell halfe-full of water, and blow into
the hole of the pipe, at the side, your breath will lift up the clack,
and enter the vessell, but when it is in, it will presse down the
clack: blow into it oftentimes, so shall there bee a great deale of
ayre in the vessell, which will presse so hard upon the water, that if
you turne the cock at the top, the water in the vessell will spin out a
good while.
