which_o carry_v a_o wonderful_a quantity_n of_o fatness_n yearly_a into_o the_o sea_n but_o how_o this_o shall_v be_v remedy_v we_o know_v not_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o your_o invention_n for_o the_o provide_v of_o manure_v more_o than_o before_o be_v excellent_a good_a and_o profitable_a for_o the_o general_a good_a and_o will_v withstand_v the_o barrenness_n much_o so_o that_o it_o will_v not_o increase_v so_o fast_o as_o it_o do_v before_o yet_o we_o conceive_v that_o barrenness_n will_v still_o increase_v though_o more_o slow_o for_o all_o your_o multiplication_n of_o manure_n will_v not_o equalise_v much_o less_o overmatch_v the_o fatness_n carry_v yearly_a by_o land-floud_n into_o the_o sea_n answer_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o new_a provision_n of_o manure_n by_o lime_n ash_n marle_n mussilage_n and_o residence_n of_o water_n and_o by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o invention_n will_v equalise_v and_o overmatch_v the_o great_a quantity_n of_o fatness_n carry_v yearly_a into_o the_o sea_n if_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v industrious_o put_v in_o practice_n the_o subterraneal_a vapour_n yearly_a elevate_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o fatness_n though_o in_o

any_o manure_n at_o all_o but_o only_o by_o this_o subterraneal_a vapour_n arise_v from_o some_o subterraneal_a fat_a substance_n but_o though_o this_o be_v but_o in_o some_o special_a place_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o it_o help_v well_o in_o all_o place_n though_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a without_o addition_n of_o manure_n but_o if_o all_o man_n will_v be_v rule_v by_o i_o we_o will_v not_o only_o put_v these_o work_n in_o practice_n very_o industrious_o for_o the_o general_a good_a thereby_o to_o testify_v our_o love_n to_o all_o man_n both_o
