HOW TO ORDER ANY LAND SO as it may reteyne all the moysture that falleth thereon And to Improve it thereby FOr asmuch as the fatnesse of the soile is washed away when in the winter season the ground is so wet that every showre is not received and drunke in by the earth where upon it falleth but passeth away and carieth with it the Fatnesse and Richnesse of the soyle that should remayne vpon the superficies of the earth whereby barrennesse doeth ensue daily although daily the Husbandman doe manure and dung the same Therefore every one that would reteyne the Fatnesse and Richnesse of their owne soyle for their own Land must use meanes to reteine that that would and doth carry away the Richnesse and Fatnes of their soyle from the same And that every man may reserve the Fatnesse of his owne soyle for his owne Land it is accessary to use and practise these points of Husbandrie hereafter declared As first to mound his Land with bankes in every place where the water may have vent and Current from of the same secondly to turne the vent and Current of all Land-waters into his owne ground out from the high wayes wast-grounds and Commons belonging to or lying neere his owne Land and if these two shall not be found Remedies sufficient I shall hereafter declare some other I know the latter is practised a little by some but it is so little that it is to little purpose For what availeth it for a man to let the water in at one place and to let it goe out at a thousand but every man reteyning all the water that falleth upon his owne ground shall in short time finde it very availeable for if this kinde of husbandrie onely were but used halfe the time that it hath beene neglected men should finde their Lands to bee greatly Improoved by the same the which every one may easily doe and that to their owne great profit and advantage and to the profit and advantage also of their farre Remote neighbours For if every one doe but consider how divers grounds hath beene much Improoved by watering and overflowing the same neere unto Rivers that in former times have beene but little worth then they cannot deny but that they also in high grounds may improove their Land by watering and overflowing the same and that they may overflow it by stopping the vents and Currents of the water that shall fall upon the same or when they shall bring the land-water vpon the same from their owne Corre Feilds high-wayes and other wast grounds and Commons Also then will not their farre Remote neighbors that use to bee annoyed with floods and others that liue in Fenne Countries bee so much annoyed with water as commonly they are nay if every one did but truely and duely observe and practise this kind of Husbandry they would not be annoyed at all and therefore it must needs bee advantagious and profitable for those that live in Fenny Countryes and others in the vale Countryes that are annoyed with Floods as well as for those that live upon hilles and high grounds Now how easily it may bee effected may any one soone understand that can but understand how easily mischeifes may bee prevented when they are prevented at the first arising and beginning before they come to a head and how easily an Inconvenience may bee helped when every man shall put to their helping hands any one may judge Wee know that the many sparkes of fire in Towne and Citty so long as they are kept within bounds are service able and there is no dammage or danger susteyned by them but if by misfortune or negligence they get out of their bounds what disasters doe they cause Even so the many drops that doe fall in a Countrey if they should bee kept within bounds in the severall Closes and Lordships wherein they fall they would be serviceable and advantagious which other wayes destroy whole Feilds of Corne breake downe Bridges drowne Cattle and sometime overturne houses and worke much other mischeifes also for we may all very well know it is never well with England when the Corne in the golden vales of England is destroyed through floods now as the Husbandman may easily reteyne all the water that falleth upon his owne ground for his owne profit and advantage in his severall enclosures so may he as easily open a vent for his water at any time if there be cause and let it out from one Close wherein there is no need or where it may be harmeful and bring it into another wherein it may doe good and where there may bee great need thereof now if there be any that cannot conceyue how or which way this point of husbandry may be effected with great facility and ease let them but repaire unto the Author or unto his Assignes and they will after taking view of their land show how easily it may be done How to prepare barraine Land that yeeldeth no profit for the Improoving of it and how to make it Fertill THe first thing to be done when you would improove your barrain dry ground is where it is levell or where it can be easily brought to a levell to mound it about in square plots
