A36288	Husbandry anatomized, or, An enquiry into the present manner of teiling and manuring the ground in Scotland for most part and several rules and measures laid down for the better improvement thereof, in so much that one third part more increase may be had, and yet more than a third part of the expence of the present way of labouring thereof saved / by Ja.

for_o want_v of_o moist_a again_o i_o have_v see_v a_o field_n that_o want_v not_o ●nough_o of_o this_o hot_a quality_n &_o by_o excessive_a rain_n after_o it_o have_v be_v tile_v and_o sow_v with_o
