that one might two ſeveral wayes exquiſitly divide the water of

how much water the whole Fountain diſchargeth in a determi

nate time, as for inſtance: How many Barrels, or Tuns it carri

eth in a ſet time; and in caſe you are afterwards to diſtribute
<
lb

the water, diſtribute it at the rate of ſomany Barrels or Tuns, in
<
lb

that ſame time; and in this caſe the participants would have

their punctual ſhares: Nor could it ever happen to ſend out more

water, than is reckoned to be in the principal Fountain; as befel

lb

alſo ſufficiently exact and eaſie, and may be, by having one one

ly ſize for the Cock or Pipe, as ſuppoſe of an inch, or of half an
<

inch; and when the caſe requireth to diſpence two, three, and

more inches, take ſo many Cocks of the ſaid meaſure as do eva

ſure of an inch, we muſt make a Cock that is bigger, its true, than

lb

the Cock of one inch; but not ſimply in a quadruple propor
<

tion, for that it would diſcharge more than juſt ſo much water,
<
lb

as hath been ſaid above; but we ought to examine diligently
<
lb

how much water the little Cock emitteth in an hour; and then

enlarge, and contract the greater Cock, ſo, that it may diſ
