natural_o in_o our_o island_n may_v be_v very_o serviceable_a to_o the_o husbandman_n both_o for_o his_o pasture_n and_o corn-land_n to_o instance_n in_o some_o few_o we_o see_v that_o divers_a sort_n

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
