## Summary

[A]Mr. Ingelbert was the first inventer or projector of bringing the water from Ware to London[1] called _Middleton's water_. He was a poore-man, but Sir Hugh Middleton[2], alderman of London, moneyed the businesse; undertooke it; and gott the profit and also the credit of that most usefull invention, for which there[3] ought to have been erected a statue for the memory of this poore-man from the city of London.--From my honoured and learned friend Mr. Fabian Philips, filiser of London, etc., who was in commission about this water.
