profit_n a_o great_a deal_n than_o by_o beast_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n whether_o people_n may_v be_v have_v to_o improve_v the_o land_n and_o to_o produce_v great_a profit_n than_o

which_o have_v cause_v prince_n for_o to_o lose_v their_o kingdom_n many_o time_n and_o turn_v the_o state_n of_o country_n topsey_a turvey_o beside_o that_o the_o life_n of_o man_n will_v be_v

powerful_o if_o my_o new_a invention_n be_v general_o put_v into_o practice_n three_o in_o populous_a country_n where_o there_o be_v difficulty_n of_o live_v the_o pure_a law_n of_o nature_n be_v

i_o be_o now_o about_o a_o way_n to_o experiment_n to_o meliorate_v any_o corn_n pulse_n seed_n kernel_n fruit_n etc._n etc._n and_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v in_o such_o

invite_v great_a man_n in_o general_a to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o same_o and_o to_o give_v good_a price_n so_o that_o a_o farmer_n may_v maintain_v his_o family_n well_o and_o grow_v rich_a too_o by_o the_o plant_n of_o 1_o acre_n of_o land_n yearly_o for_o upon_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n there_o be_v fond_o cast_v away_o in_o every_o family_n in_o england_n as_o well_o in_o great_a city_n as_o country-town_n so_o many_o thing_n as_o be_v use_v according_a to_o my_o direction_n will_v produce_v such_o a_o increase_n of_o corn_n yearly_a as_o will_v serve_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o say_a family_n and_o will_v be_v more_o wholesome_a for_o the_o body_n of_o man_n than_o the_o great_a part_n of_o corn_n which_o now_o usual_o grow_v in_o england_n yea_o though_o this_o compost_n shall_v be_v use_v in_o the_o more_o barren_a sort_n of_o land_n so_o that_o now_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o this_o land_n and_o so_o consequent_o other_o kingdom_n may_v live_v in_o worldly_a happiness_n and_o prosperity_n for_o ever_o hereafter_o but_o whether_o they_o will_v do_v so_o or_o not_o for_o if_o they_o be_v willing_a they_o will_v show_v the_o same_o by_o their_o action_n and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o possibility_n thereof_o whereby_o a_o utopia_n may_v be_v have_v real_o without_o any_o fiction_n

new-england_n be_v call_v candle-wood_n or_o pitch-pine_a concern_v the_o blackness_n of_o these_o wood_n i_o say_v that_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o turfy_a earth_n wherein_o these_o tree_n lie_v which_o earth_n and_o all_o other_o earth_n as_o i_o suppose_v and_o subterrany_n thing_n in_o their_o proper_a place_n have_v a_o innate_a power_n to_o transmute_v other_o extraneous_a thing_n into_o their_o own_o nature_n many_o example_n of_o this_o hind_n we_o see_v in_o nature_n to_o instance_n only_o in_o putrify_v spirit_n or_o juce_n which_o transmute_v not_o only_a wood_n but_o also_o shell_n bone_n metal_n into_o their_o strong_a nature_n without_o destroy_v the_o external_a form_n so_o i_o say_v this_o earth_n endeavour_v to_o alter_v or_o change_v these_o tree_n into_o its_o turfy_a nature_n and_o i_o suppose_v it_o have_v already_o change_v as_o i_o suppose_v the_o small_a bough_n into_o its_o nature_n and_o introduce_v some_o indisposition_n into_o the_o great_a wood_n for_o this_o earth_n have_v a_o peculiar_a and_o more_o manifest_a faculty_n of_o multiply_v than_o other_o earth_n have_v for_o when_o it_o be_v exhaust_v it_o grow_v again_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v

therefore_o from_o the_o vapour_n fume_n or_o effluvia_fw-la call_v they_o what_o you_o will_v for_o i_o think_v all_o multiplicative_a act_n to_o proceed_v from_o such_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o
