<HEAD>A Second ADVERTISEMENT Relating to the <HI>MILL'D-LEAD-SHEATHING</HI> UPON The Ri&s;ing Eagle.</HEAD>
<P>THis Ship having lain in <HI>Newman</HI>'s Dock, in <HI>Lymhou&s;e-Hole,</HI> about a month, and her Lead-&s;heathing much commended by all the unprejudic'd that have &s;een it; at which, its Enemies being as much offended, they have lately rai&s;ed another new <HI>Objection</HI> again&s;t it, after all their old Stories of <HI>rubbing off by Boats and Lyters, ranging of Cables, lying on Ground, eating of Ruddar-Irons;</HI> and la&s;tly, <HI>of rotting the Okam in the Seams,</HI> have been fully proved from common Sence and Expe|rience, upon 30 Ships, within the&s;e 30 years, to be fal&s;e or frivolous, in ma|ny Papers, Printed and Publi&s;hed by Mr. <HI>Hale,</HI> from time to time, as they gave him occa&s;ion, which they ought as publickly to have an&s;wer'd, if he had not fairly prov'd the &s;ame, and doubtle&s;s they had, if they could have &s;aid any thing that would bear a publick Te&s;t: But they &s;till run on with new Stories, as fal&s;e or frivolous as the old ones; not con&s;idering how ri|diculous it is, after &s;o much Time and Experience upon &s;o many Ships, &s;o diligently watched for faults by them, to pretend now to new di&s;coveries of defects, never heard of before, as he has heard of late; they &s;ay, the Barnicles or Shells (as &s;ome there mu&s;t be, tho' in no proportion for &s;ize or quantity, as upon a Wood-&s;heathing) have eaten quite into the Lead, and cannot be got off, and that therefore this Sheathing won't do: But what ground for this report and conclu&s;ion, he cannot imagine; for if they had &s;een it before it was cleaned, as was intended, and thought the Shells never &s;o hard to come off, they &s;hould not have been &s;o po&s;itive (that di&s;co|vers too much ill will to it) that it could not be done, &s;ince Scrapers in a very little time, for 15 <HI>s.</HI> pay, have cleaned the whole Ship, to content as well as at fir&s;t; which, if any plea&s;e to view by <HI>Tue&s;day</HI> next (when &s;he goes out of the Dock) he doubts not but they will receive full &s;atis|faction in this point, as in all others, of the excellency of this Lead-&s;heath|ing, in preference to the be&s;t Wood-&s;heathing hitherto u&s;ed.</P>
<P>Mr. <HI>Hale,</HI> the &V;ndertaker for covering Churches, Hou&s;es, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> as well as Sheathing Ships, lives at the <HI>Mill'd-Lead Sign</HI> in <HI>Orange-&s;treet,</HI> by <HI>Red-Lyon-Square;</HI> and may be heard of at <HI>John</HI>'s Coffee-hou&s;e in <HI>Burchen-lane:</HI> or <HI>Bat&s;on</HI>'s over again&s;t the <HI>Ex|change;</HI> where a Box of Patterns may be &s;een of the &s;everal &s;izes, prices and u&s;es of Mill'd-Lead.</P>
