nobleman_n house_n and_o where_o there_o be_v much_o of_o the_o kitchen_n will_v require_v thirty_o or_o forty_o load_v of_o wood_n but_o then_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o for_o one_o nobleman_n

pitch_v upon_o to_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v in_o the_o first_o place_n what_o quantity_n of_o wood_n grow_v usual_o upon_o a_o acre_n of_o ground_n a_o acre_n then_o of_o coppice-wood_n of_o about_o twelve_o or_o thirteen_o year_n growth_n if_o moderate_o well_o store_v will_v yield_v about_o threescore_o cord_n or_o load_v of_o wood_n each_o cord_n or_o load_n
