From thence we went by boate to a little Isle Called brownsea 3 or 4 leagues off where there is much Copperice made, the stones being found about y^e Isle in y^e shore in great quantetyes. there is only one house there w^{ch} is the Governours, besides little fishermen’s houses; they being all taken up about y^e Copperice workes; they gather y^e Stones and place them on ground raised like y^e beds in gardens, rows one above the other and are all Shelving, so y^t y^e raine disolves y^e Stones and it draines down into trenches and pipes made to receive and Convey it to y^e house, y^{ch} is fitted with Iron panns four square and of a pretty depth at least 12 yards over. They place Iron spikes in y^e panns full of branches and so as y^e Liquor boyles to a candy it hangs on those branches; I saw some taken up—it look’d like a vast bunch of grapes. Y^e Coullour of y^e Copperace not being much differing it lookes cleare like Suger-Candy—so when y^e water is boyled to a Candy they take it out and replenish the panns with more liquor. I do not remember they added anything to it only y^e Stones of Copperice disolved by y^e raine into liquor as I mention’d at first—there are great furnaces under, y^t Keepes all the panns boyling—it was a large room or building with Severall of these large panns: they do add old Iron and nailes to y^e Copperass Stones. This is a noted place for lobsters and Crabs and shrimps. I there eate some very good. From Merly we went to y^e Isle of Purbeck. At Warrum we passed over a bridge where y^e sea flowed in, and Came by y^e ruines of Corffe Castle which stands on a hill, yet surrounded by much higher hills y^t might easily command it, and so in y^e Civil warrs was batter’d down with Granadeers—thence you rise a great ascent of hills, called the Linch or rather y^e ridge, being so for 3 or 4 miles, rideing to Quare, which was 16 miles ffrom Merly to a relations house—Cos’n Colliers.
