jron plaite on the top under w^{ch} is a furnace of fire of Coales, this is the hott press; then they fold them Exceeding Exact and then press them in a Cold press, some they dye but the most are sent up for London white. I saw the severall ffatts they were a Dying in of black, yellow, blew and Green w^{ch} two Last Coullours are dipp’d in the same fatt, that w^{ch} makes it differ is what they were dipp’d in before w^{ch} makes them Either green or blew; they hang the Serges on a great beame or Great pole on the top of y^e fatt and so keep turning it from one to another—as one turns it off into the ffatt y^e other Rowles it out of it, soe they do it backwards and forwards till its tinged deep Enough of the Coullour. Their ffurnace that keepes their dye panns boyling is all under that roome made of Coale ffires. There was in a roome by itself a ffatt for the Scarlet that being a very Changeable dye noe waste must be allow’d in that, Indeed I think they make as fine a Coullour as their bowdies are in London.

Behind this building there is a vast Cistern w^{ch} holds upwards of 600 hodsheads of water which supplyes by pipes the whole Citty; this Cistern is replenished from the river w^{ch} is on purpose turned into a Little Channell by it self to turn the mill, and ffills the Engine that Casts y^e water into the truncks w^{ch} Conveys it to this Cistern.
