Then let it coole for 2 or 3 houres, take off the Pot, (first striking it gently that the {mercury} sticking to it may fall into the kettle) & out of it with a feather sweepe what remaining {mercury} you can into the kettle, in which stirre very well all the matter, lute on the pot, & give it once more a circulating fire for about 6 houres more; & the merc. will thereby amalgam with whatsoever is metalline in the ore (unlesse there be too little {mercury} put in, which may be perceiv'd by the thicknese of the {amalgam};) when the matter is prettily cool'd take it out, & in broad shallow vessells, wash the {amalgam} well & separate it from the feces, & distilling off your {mercury} in an iron retort, you shall find a considerable quantity of {gold} or {silver}, even out of such ore, as would begger one that deales withaltered from 'in' it the ordinary way. NB. When the lead is melted out of the ore, what remaines after the extraction of the lead, & is lookt upon as worthlesse, will this way yeeld more {silver} then rich lead it selfe.
