The Conclusion.
THus runnes our Water-workes vnto this end,That all that worke by them, by them may play▪For, if they Mossy-grounds by them amend,For paines and pleasures (then) they'l freely pay.
This WORKE consists not (like some idle Tracts)In shew alone, or Speculation:No; this is practicall, faire shewes in Acts,To make the poor'st, the richest Nation.
Then, chiefly aym'd I not at publick-good,I would not thus divulge my priuate skill:But, bee'ng free-borne, my Natur's like my Blood;Which would do good to all, and no man ill:Then, All (I hope) or of that All, the bestWill wish me well: as for the rest, I rest.
Theirs as they giue me cause, Rowland Vaughan.
FINIS.
