to_o gold_n which_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o be_v do_v but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o fit_v it_o to_o the_o hole_n he_o have_v a_o piece_n of_o good_a gold_n take_v out_o of_o a_o plate_n of_o

for_o his_o money_n be_v almost_o all_o spend_v that_o i_o will_v say_v the_o goldsmith_n present_o and_o go_v home_o and_o weigh_v it_o and_o bring_v he_o nineteen_o shilling_n in_o silver_n and_o

will_v see_v it_o more_o large_o describe_v shall_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o say_a book_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v do_v the_o cheater_n take_v a_o charcoal_n about_o two_o inch_n long_o and_o one_o

of_o quicksilver_n into_o a_o crucible_n and_o a_o little_a red_a powder_n with_o it_o and_o bid_v the_o cheat_v to_o set_v it_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o when_o it_o begin_v to_o smoke_n oh_o say_v he_o i_o must_v stir_v it_o a_o little_a to_o mingle_v the_o powder_n with_o the_o mercury_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v have_v great_a loss_n so_o he_o take_v up_o a_o coal_n from_o the_o heap_n with_o
