about_o they_o but_o profit_n be_v as_o certain_a by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n if_o man_n labour_v in_o they_o as_o a_o harvest_n of_o corn_n in_o autumn_n when_o the_o husbandman_n have_v

respect_n of_o grass_n although_o the_o common_a prejudice_n against_o fruit-tree_n in_o field_n be_v that_o they_o spoil_v grass_n as_o that_o some_o land_n not_o be_v worth_a above_o 10_o or_o 13_o

good_a for_o cattle_n as_o some_o other_o where_o no_o tree_n be_v it_o

be_v answer_v although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o pleasant_a altogether_o as_o that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o shade_n of_o tree_n yet_o other_o advantage_n do_v more_o than_o make_v amends_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o such_o grass_n be_v early_o in_o the_o spring_n then_o upon_o other_o ground_n and_o that_o such_o ground_n bear_v more_o when_o it_o be_v cut_v for_o hay_n or_o if_o pasture_v it_o keep_v more_o cattle_n than_o land_n of_o like_a quantity_n not_o so_o plant_v and_o beside_o in_o a_o hot_a and_o dry_a summer_n there_o be_v grass_n under_o and_o about_o tree_n when_o it_o be_v burn_v up_o in_o other_o ground_n my_o advice_n be_v therefore_o all_o these_o profit_n and_o advantage_n consider_v that_o man_n set_v themselves_o diligent_o to_o this_o work_n of_o plant_v fruit-tree_n for_o improvement_n of_o their_o land_n and_o estate_n not_o only_o that_o they_o plant_v good_a orchard_n and_o garden_n but_o also_o that_o they_o plant_v round_o about_o their_o field_n and_o in_o their_o corn_n pasture_n and_o hay_n ground_n the_o fruit-tree_n at_o a_o large_a distance_n one_o from_o another_o 20_o yard_n asunder_o and_o that_o they_o suffer_v no_o branch_n to_o spread_v within_o two_o yard_n from_o the_o ground_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o cattle_n and_o may_v not_o be_v troublesome_a to_o workman_n in_o plough_v sow_v reap_v and_o other_o work_n if_o the_o plant_n be_v fair_a straight_a one_o of_o two_o yard_n high_a or_o thereabouts_o &_o fence_v about_o to_o preserve_v they_o from_o cattle_n at_o the_o first_o with_o some_o stake_n or_o the_o like_a they_o will_v in_o a_o few_o year_n preserve_v themselves_o and_o will_v need_v but_o little_a labour_n about_o they_o afterward_o as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v and_o hereby_o man_n may_v reap_v every_o year_n two_o harvest_n from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o piece_n of_o land_n the_o one_o of_o corn_n the_o other_o of_o fruit_n of_o tree_n and_o the_o latter_a when_o tree_n be_v grow_v large_a probable_o will_v be_v the_o great_a and_o in_o this_o respect_n this_o way_n of_o improvement_n of_o land_n be_v much_o better_a than_o other_o way_n of_o profit_n because_o in_o get_v corn_n or_o raise_v profit_n by_o any_o other_o way_n of_o improvement_n man_n must_v of_o necessity_n bestow_v much_o money_n time_n and_o pain_n about_o they_o every_o year_n which_o eat_v up_o a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o profit_n but_o in_o plant_v fruit-tree_n the_o worst_a be_v at_o first_o after_o a_o few_o year_n they_o yield_v great_a profit_n with_o little_a cost_n and_o labour_n so_o that_o as_o be_v say_v fruit-tree_n in_o a_o few_o year_n with_o small_a cost_n and_o labour_n will_v double_a and_o treble_a the_o value_n of_o land_n and_o after_o many_o year_n the_o advance_v of_o profit_n will_v be_v manifold_a ob._n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o all_o shall_v plant_v than_o such_o great_a profit_n can_v not_o be_v make_v every_o man_n will_v have_v of_o his_o own_o ans_fw-fr i_o answer_v that_o if_o all_o shall_v plant_v fruit-tree_n that_o may_v convenient_o plant_v yet_o will_v there_o be_v multitude_n every_o

and_o discouragement_n concern_v plant_v answer_v before_o i_o enter_v upon_o the_o work_n itself_o it_o will_v be_v convenient_a to_o answer_v some_o main_a objection_n to_o remove_v discouragement_n about_o this_o work_n of_o plant_v fruit-tree_n that_o have_v keep_v off_o many_o from_o this_o profitable_a employment_n &_o may_v still_o hinder_v they_o unless_o remove_v and_o then_o i_o will_v give_v some_o encouragement_n to_o it_o from_o divine_a and_o humane_a argument_n and_o testimony_n ob._n 1_o this_o be_v a_o objection_n among_o many_o in_o the_o northern_a part_n they_o say_v the_o northern_a country_n be_v so_o cold_a that_o fruit-tree_n will_v not_o prosper_v nor_o bear_v fruit_n there_o ans_fw-fr to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o northern_a country_n lie_v in_o a_o more_o cold_a climate_n than_o worcestershire_n herefordshire_n and_o those_o fruit_n country_n yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o if_o they_o be_v as_o

therefore_o be_v seek_v for_o and_o plant_v and_o beside_o those_o good_a husband_n in_o those_o part_n who_o be_v diligent_a in_o plant_v fruit-tree_n have_v fruit_n answerable_a ob._n 2_o other_o

which_o i_o esteem_v best_a of_o any_o other_o it_o be_v this_o i_o will_v have_v every_o man_n that_o have_v land_n to_o plant_v some_o fruit-tree_n for_o himself_o that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o
