find out an Expedient both for Ease and quick Dispatch, so as that the weak
may do as much as the strong, and the strong much more than before.

As thus; One man may turn 50 Spinning Wheels, which shall serve 100 persons
to Spin with at once; so that the Spinners shall have nothing to do but
employ both hands to draw Tire from the Distaff. The Demonstration of the
Infallibility of this Invention may be easily made when commanded.

As also, An Engine by which 50 men may, without striking a stroke, beat as
much Hemp in one day, as 100 shall do in two days.

Besides the Advantage of this Spinning Engine in Ease, Its expedition
will also be considerable; For if (as we doubt not) by this help
Spinners can earn 9 d. _per_ day, as easie as 6 d. _per_ day without:
By that means computing only 1000 Spinners in each of the 52
Work-houses, in one years time will be gained the Sum of 163968 Pounds
and upwards, as by Calculation appears; and the Invention for
Hemp-beating (which is the hardest work of all) will likewise in its
kind be very considerably advantagious.

_Obj. 2._ But some will be ready to object, and tell us, _That we talk of
brave things, if words would do the Work; but where's the Money for the
Building of such great Hospitals? and providing all Tools and Materials
will cost many Thousand Pounds._

I confess here's the Knot, which seems knit by Magick Art; but if it
can be untied without cutting or breaking the Thread, then I hope our
Proposals will not be rejected.

_Answ._ To this therefore I humbly Answer, That it may be done by a
