The best election of your Soil the scituation thereof the best way for the Planting of your young Plants the best time and manner of Proining both the Stocks and Roots the turning and translation of the ground c. With all other things necessary to the Plant and the fashion of your Wine Presses with the manner of Bruising and Pressing and also how to advance our English Wines never before Printed By William Hughes LONDON Printed by G. M. for W. Crooke at the three Bibles on Fleet Bridge and John Playfere at the White Lion in the Upper Walk of the New Exchange 1665. To the Reader Courteous Reader IT is the saying of the Philosophers that those things are most principally to be taught and maintained which in the Common-wealth are most profitable and necessary according to which opinion if we consider how profitable many acts of Husbandry have been to the Commonwealth I think it necessary that this of Vines should be made publick for as Seneca Cato Varro Columella c. do affirm the Planting of Vineyards have been more gainful then any other act of Husbandry whatsoever And it being manifest that there have been plenty of Vineyards in England heretofore as Mr. Hollinshead in his History of England doth affirm and Cambden in his Chronicle maketh mention and some there are at this day both in Essex and in the West of England as also in Kent which produce great store of excellent good Wine I think it not impertinent to set down a way how we may of our English Grapes purchase a very good Wine and the rather for that I find the same to be both probable and possible not only by Antiquities but also by experience set down by Mr. Barnaby Googe in his Book of Husbandry as also by that inevitable Argument which be draweth from the same latitude of the Pole wherein we are and under which there be found beyond the Seas most fruitful Vineyards and which doth yield both good and pleasant Wines as about Backrach Colin Andernach and divers other places in Germany which hath as he affirmeth and also others the same Latitude and disposition of the Heavens that we have whereby is sufficiently confuted that common received opinion against our Climate that is should not be hot enough for that Plant nay he preveth farther that the wideness to the South is not altogether the cause of good Wines as appeareth in that you have about Orlance great store of good and excellent Wine whereas if you go to Bruges two daeyes journey farther to the South you shall finde a Wine not worth the drinking the like is proved between Paris and Barleduke aend divers other places And here I have just cause to accuse the extream negligence and blockish ignorance of our people who do most unjustly lay their wrongful accusations upon the Soil which truly may be removed on themselves for whereas neither in Pasture or arable ground they look for any great increase without all the due and necessary circumstances of Husbandry be performed to the same yet in Vines onely they expect a plentiful Harvest or else they condemn the Soil although they bestow no other manuring proining or ordering of them but onely cut or proine them in the twelve dayes and that very carelesly and without any due regard or choice had of the branches which should be taken away close to the stock and which should be cut off between the third and fourth joynt and many other observations as we shall hereafter shew in our following discourse Therefore in a word I have just cause as I said both by Travels Discourse and Experience in England and also out of it to be fully perswaded Nay I do know that Plants by continuance of time and good ordering once made familar with our Soil and Climate will produce both full and good Wine This Method in Planting was used by that experienced Gardner M. K. Deceased who for about twenty years practised the same in his own Countrey Germany And about the Year one thousand six hundred thirty two became over into England and from that time until the Year one thousand six hundred fifty eight he practised the same here from whose own mouth I turned it out of High Dutch into English my self having for some years before been an observer of his proceedings and operations and since being abroad in the world have added many observations of my own experience both according to the German French and English practice which if fully and rightly understood is the full and sole discour a necessary for the producing of English Wine which is most natural to our constitutions as I shall hereafter prove Thus Reader I desire thee to excuse the rudeness of the language and the several faults thou meetest with and however accept of my good will who hath not written ad ostentationem I onoly now wish I were present at thy proceedings Vale.
