A90748	The second part of the Garden of Eden. Or An accurate description of all flowers and fruits growing in England; with partuicular [sic] rules how to advance their nature and growth, as well in seeds and herbs, as the secret ordering of trees and plants. / By that learned and great observer, Sir Hugh Plat Knight. Never before printed.; Garden of Eden. Part 2	Plat, Hugh, Sir, 1552-1611?	1659 (1659)	Wing P2392; Thomason E1804_2; ESTC R203175	42,070	161

do yield both good and pleasant wines as about Backrach Colin Andernach and divers other places in Germany which have as he affirmeth in his Epistle to the Reader the self same latitude and disposition of the Heavens that we have whereby is sufficiently confuted that common though erroneous received opinion against our Climate that it should not be hot enough for that Plant nay he proveth further that the wideness to the South is not altogether the cause of good Wines as appeareth in that you have about Orleans great store of good and excellent Wine whereas if you go to Bruges two days journey farther to the South you shall finde a Wine not worth the drinking The like is of Paris and Barleduke as Mr. D. Dale did inform him the one being southward with naughty wines and the other a great way farther to the North with as good Wines as may be and thus far Mr. Googe Mr. Holinshed also in that his painful and commendable History of England doth constantly affirm That this Island hath been greatly replenished with Vineyards and that it is not to be doubted but that if the same Plants were by continuance of time and good ordering of them made familiar with our soil we should have both full and rich wines of our own growing And here I have just cause to accuse the extreme negligence and blockish ignorance of our people who do most unjustly lay their wrongful accusations upon the soil whereas the greatest if not the whole fault justly may be removed upon themselves For whereas neither in Pasture nor arable grounds they look for any great or continual encrease without all the due and necessary circumstances of Husbandry be performed to the same yet in Vines they onely expect a plentiful Harvest or else they condemn the soil although they bestow no other manuring proining or ordering of them but only cut and proin them in the 12 days and that very careless 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 maintaining as well the waste and sucking roots as the principal and master roots which ought most chiefly to be cherished and preserved But because this matter requireth a large discourse and for that Mr. Barnaby Googe hath very sufficiently handled this subject already I will refer you to his labors by which you may learn both the election of your soil and the best scituation therof the planting of your Sets the proining both of the Stock and Roots the turning and translation of the ground the choice of the best and aptest dung for them with all other necessary circumstances requisite to the Plant unless peradventure there may be some few observations else to be learned either at the hands of an experienced French Gardner or that you shall think good to put in practice some one or other of these few conceited helps for the better forwarding of them in this our cold Climate onely I have thought it necessary for the avoiding of all French and Spanish objections to set down a new and yet a most assured and undoubted course how to furnish our selves with such store of good and perfect wines as that we shall not need either to be beholding to the Frenchmen our doubtful friends or to the Spaniards our assured enemies for this sweet and delicate kinde of liquor always provided that we use some careful means at the first to store our selves with the right and natural plants of those Vines whose wine we desire to have for the bringing over of which plants from beyond the Seas if we cannot otherwise furnish our selves of them within our own Continent we may use that pretty ingenious help for the carrying of our Sets being well covered with earth and conveyed into close vessels as Mr. Googe in his aforesaid Book hath in plain terms disclosed Then supposing all the skilful experience of France to be first shewed and performed in our English Vineyard and that yet notwithstanding there wanteth a sufficient and perfect digestion to bring the Grape to his full ripeness and maturity let us according to the French manner press out their sweet and pleasant juyce such as it is and by sufficient decoction and ebullition bring the one moity thereof to the fulness of a cute which being cold we may well mix with equal proportions of the crude and raw wine or so proportion the same as it may be most pleasing to our own mouths leaving them to the weather till they have inseperably united and incorporated themselves together and this is no strange practice but onely drawn from the Spaniard and the Greek who cutteth both his Malmseys and Muskadines and for the most part also his Canary Sack both to make them last the longer and also to be more fuller of wine Neither are we here to be discouraged at the charge of fire or the wasting of that faint flegmatique liquor that must of necessity be used in this work for that if every acre of ground will yield 700 gallons of wine as Cato Varro and Colnmella do testifie or as the Vineyards of Seneca did yeild with trade a Thousand gallons upon every acre I think we shall pay our selves with a higher interest then the Statute of 13 EliZ. will allow Yet because I will not altogether persevere in Vestigiis patrum I have thought good to set down another course out of mine own experience whereby if we shall be forced to use any outward helps in the default of our Soil or Climate we may yet by Art supply that unto our selves which nature hath denied to perform of her self Then having first expressed such liquors as our English Vines being well ordered will afford let us to every gallon thereof add one pound of the best Rasins of the Sun or Malaghie Rasins first washed in some change of waters or if you will aim at a Canarie Sack then chuse the best of the Xanthe Currens you can get being well cured and conditioned and take a like proportion of them to each gallon of your crude wine leave them in this infusion or imbibition until the liquor have extracted both the tincture and strength of the fruit then draw the wine from the fruit and when these two liquors have in time wrought themselves into one body they will become a most pleasant wine either resembling the Bastard the Muskadine or Canarie Sack either to be drunk alone or serving to compas or tast any other wine withall according to the proportion of the fruit which you infuse and according to the workmanship which you shall shew therein for herein I am assured that I have given light sufficient to an ingenious Artist both to check and mate all those brewing Copers and Vintners of our age who rise early and work late in their gross and jumbling slights and apparelling about their wines when as it were much
