A08310	The surueyors dialogue Diuided into fiue bookes: very profitable for all men to peruse, that haue to do with the reuenues of land, or the manurance, vse, or occupation thereof, both lords and tenants: as also and especially for such as indeuor to be seene in the faculty of surueying of mannors, lands, tenements, &c.

dung is fittest Let vs I pray thee walke into the next field the Lords demeisnes called as I take it Highfield Bay It is indéede a large ground you sée it is and good pasture but so ouergone with Thistles as we can by no meanes destroy them Sur. This kind of Thistle approoueth the goodnes of the ground they seldome or neuer growe in a barraine soile Bay Yes I haue seene thistles in meane ground Sur. It may be so a kind of smal hungry dwarffy thistle but this kind which you see large high and fatty you shall neuer see in aboundance in a weake soile Bail But I wish they were fewer in number though they may be a note of good ground I find thē nothing profitable vnles it be to shrowd the vnder grasse in the parching Summer ●rom the heate of the scorching Sunne for they are good for no other vse that I can find Sur. That is some benefite but the best way to kill them is to take them vp often by the rootes euer as they beginne to spring and either presently to rake them vp and carry them out of the fields or else to beate them in small peeces for their nature is to reuiue againe like an Adder that is not thorowly battered in the head and cut in peeces Such is the nature of this kind of Thistle that though it be plucked vp by the roote if it lie still vpon the ground as soone as it receiueth the euaporation of the earth his sli●●ie nature gathers a kind of new life and beginnes to fasten cleaue it selfe to the earth againe and to shoote foorth small strings which entring into the earth againe will bring foorth many for one Bai. That is if they be cut when they are seeded the seedes fall and increase Sur. Nay if you cut them in their infancie for if they be not cut often that as soone as they shewe themselues a foote high or lesse the roote will recouer and bud againe the roote is as the liuer in the body from whence proceedeth all the bloud that feedeth the veines that quickneth the body which by obstr●ction and stopping of the passages putrifieth So the rootes of these vegitables when the branches are againe againe cut off as they spring the roote is left so ouercharged with moisture that it wil in the end yeeld and giue ouer bearing and die as will also Rushes Flagges and such like which though they be strong by nature yet by this meanes they will be destroyed soonest Baily But what say you to this heathy ground I thinke of all other grounds this is the most vnprofitable Sur. Indeede naturally all heathy grounds are barraine and that comes by the saltnes of the soile Bai. Doth all barrainnesse procéede of saltnes Sur. As leannes in a mans body is principally procured by saltnes of the humor So is barrainesse in grounds for salt is hot and heate drieth and too much drowth breeds barrainesse and leannesse And according to the measure and proportion of the decree of hot and cold moisture and drinesse are all grounds fruitfull and barraine as the bodie by these causes is fat or leane Therefore though heathy grounds be commonly in the highest degree of barrainesse yet are some more in the meane then some Some are more tractable and more easily reduced to some vse then others and therefore hath sundry names Heath is the generall or common name whereof there is one kind called Hather the other Ling. And of these particulars there are also sundry kinds distinguished by their seuerall growth leaues stalkes and flowers as not far from Graues end there is a kind of Hather that beareth a white flowre and is not so common as the rest and the ground is not so exceeding barraine as some other but by manurance would be brought to profitable tillage Some and the most doth beare a purple or reddish flowre as in the Forest of Windsore and in Suffolke and sundry other places and this kind is most common and groweth commonly in the worst ground In the North parts vpon the Mountaines and Fells there is a kind of Ling that beares a berry euery of these hath his peculiar earth wherein it delighteth Some in sandy hot grounds as betweene Wilford bridge and Snape bridge in Suffolke And that is bettered especially and the heath killed best and soonest by good fat marle Some in grauelly and cold earth and that is hard to be cured but with good stable dung But there is a kind of heathie ground that seemeth altogether vnprofitable for tillage because that the grauell clay together retaineth a kind of black water which so drencheth the earth causeth so much cold as no husbandry can relieue it yet if there be chalk-hils nere this kind of earth there may be some good done vpon it for that onely or lime will comfort the earth drie vp the superfluous water and kill the heath But the sandy heathie ground is contrarily amended as I told you with fat marle and that is commonly found neere these heathie grounds if men were prouident and forward to seeke for it Euery of these heathie grounds are best known of what nature they be of whether hot or cold by the growing of it as if it grow low and stubbed it argues the ground to be grauelly cold and most barren where it groweth ranke and high and the stalke great the ground is more warme and more apt for tilth yet it requireth some kind of composte else will it not beare past a crop or two contenting the owner but if men will not indeuor to search for the hidden blessings of God which he hath laid vp in store in the bowels of the earth for their vse that will be painefull they may make a kind of idle vaine ●hew of good husbandry whē indeed they only plow and sow and charge the earth to bring foorth fruite of it owne accord when we know it was cursed for our sakes and commanded to deny vs increase without labour sweate and charge which also are little auaileable if we serue not him in feare and reuerence who is the author of true labors and of the blessings promised thereunto Bai. I thinke there is no disease in the body of man but nature hath giuen vertue to some other creatures as to hearbes plants and other things to be medicines for the same so is there no kind of ground so meane barren and defectiue but God hath prouided some meanes to better it if man to whom he hath giuen all will search for it and vse the same to that end it was prouided for And yet this peece of ground adioyning hath had much labour and great cost bestowed on it and the ground little or nothing the more reformed This fursy close Sur.
