A67081	The second parts of Systema agriculturæ, or, The mystery of husbandry. And Vinetum Britannicum, or, A treatise of cider. Wherein are contained many select and curious observations and novel experiments relating to husbandry and fruit-trees. With the best and most natural rules and methods for the making of cider, and other English-liquors. To which is added, an essay towards the discovery of the original of fountains and springs. / by J.W. ...	Worlidge, John, fl. 1660-1698.; Worlidge, John, fl. 1660-1698.
