to the powder especially being done in time I doe advise all his Majesties Gunners of the Navie to take an especiall heed and diligent care in the election and choosing of the Yeoman of the

knowne to be a loyall subject and one that would performe the office with both care and diligence before he be admitted the charge thereof The names of the principall members of a peece of Ordnance FIrst the uppermost part round about the peece may be called the Superficies of her metall the substance or whole masse of mettall the Body the hollownesse thereof the Concave Cillinder or Soule the whole length the Chase So much of her Bore as containeth her powder and shot is the Chamber or charged Cillinder the remainder her vacant Cillinder the Spindals or Eares are called her Trunnions and the space between them the gravity of her Center the pumell at her coyle the Casacabell or her Decke the little hole the Touch-hole all the metall behind the touch-hole her breech or Coyle the greatest Ring at her touch-hole her Base Ring the next Ring or Circle is the reinforst Ring the next to that the Trunnion ring and the circle foremost her Muzzle Ring Lastly the Ring betweene the Trunons and Muzzle ring is called the Cornish ring and all the Rings Circles and emenencies at her Muzzle are called the Frieze as you may see in the figure just against this matter What instruments

Lintstocke out of your hand provided you draw backe your hand in the fiering your leg standing forwards and so doing the Peece will be loaden and fier'd Gunner like Some use to prime before the Touch-hole forwards two or three inches and fire there for the bigger the Touch-hole is the more care must bee taken in priming and especially in fiering What powder is allowed for proofe and what for
