If the stones be ouer-moyst, they
are dried by the fire in an yron cradle or grate.
From the stamping mill, it passeth to the crazing mil, which betweene
two grinding stones, turned also with a water-wheele, bruseth the same
to a fine sand: howbeit, of late times they mostly vse wet stampers, &
so haue no need of the crazing mils, for their best stuffe, but only
for the crust of their tayles.
The streame, after it hath forsaken the mill, is made to fall by
certayne degrees one somwhat distant from another; vpon each of which,
at euery discent lyeth a greene turfe, three or foure foote square,
and one foote thick. On this the Tinner layeth a certayne portion of
the sandie Tinne, and with his shouell softly tosseth the same to and
fro, that through this stirring, the water which runneth ouer it, may
wash away the light earth from the Tinne, which of a heauier substance
lyeth fast on the turfe. Hauing so cleansed one portion, he setteth
the same aside, and beginneth with another, vntil his labour take end
with his taske.
