the_o new_a and_o better_a art_n of_o agriculture_n this_o humble_a and_o faithful_a memorial_n i_o do_v most_o humble_o and_o faithful_o dedicate_v and_o present_a to_o his_o most_o sacred_a majesty_n charles_n the_o second_o king_n of_o england_n etc._n etc._n to_o his_o royal_a consort_n queen_n katherine_z to_o their_o royal_a highness_n the_o duke_n and_o duchess_n of_o york_n to_o all_o the_o nobility_n knight_n and_o grand_a gentry_n to_o the_o most_o reverend_a and_o right_o reverend_a the_o lord_n bishop_n and_o all_o the_o inferior_a clergy_n of_o england_n etc._n etc._n to_o the_o lord_n mayor_n and_o the_o alderman_n and_o the_o common-council_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n to_o all_o the_o merchant_n and_o grand_a citizen_n of_o the_o same_o and_o of_o all_o other_o city_n and_o town_n corporate_a in_o england_n etc._n etc._n and_o to_o all_o other_o whatsoever_o that_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v concern_v therein_o any_o way_n for_o it_o do_v or_o may_v concern_v any_o or_o every_o person_n either_o upon_o the_o general_a or_o particular_a account_n england_n and_o wales_n and_o the_o limit_n of_o berwick_n upon_o tweed_n be_v north_n and_o south_n about_o 320_o mile_n upon_o the_o vulgar_a account_n and_o general_o every_o such_o mile_n be_v about_o a_o mile_n and_o a_o half_a of_o measure_a mile_n and_o from_o east_n to_o west_n about_o as_o much_o and_o so_o may_v reasonable_o be_v allow_v and_o account_v to_o be_v 400_o measure_v miles_n square_v that_o be_v land_n and_o sea_n together_o but_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o form_n as_o to_o the_o land_n only_o be_v very_o irregular_a it_o may_v be_v reasonable_a to_o take_v off_o for_o the_o sea_n three_o eight_o part_n though_o that_o be_v manifest_o too_o much_o now_o where_o the_o form_n be_v regular_a and_o all_o land_n 400_o measure_a mile_n square_a will_v contain_v 160000_o such_o measure_a miles_n single_o square_a but_o cut_v off_o three_o ●ll_a eight_o or_o 60000_o measure_a mile_n single_o square_a there_o remain_v real_o to_o be_v account_v of_o 100000_o such_o single_o square_v measure_v miles_n one_o measure_v mile_n single_o square_a contain_v 640_o statute-acre_n though_o there_o be_v no_o hill_n but_o all_o a_o flat_a in_o all_o 64000000_o of_o statute-acre_n i_o allow_v or_o account_n that_o at_o least_o the_o one_o eight_o part_n of_o this_o general_o be_v plough_v and_o ●owed_v every_o year_n beside_o all_o that_o be_v lay_v every_o year_n fallow_a that_o be_v 8000000_o of_o acre_n in_o the_o now_o common_a way_n one_o with_o the_o other_o they_o allow_v at_o least_o two_o bushel_n and_o a_o half_a for_o the_o seed_n for_o one_o statute-acre_n one_o sort_n of_o corn_n and_o grain_n with_o the_o other_o and_o so_o 20000000_o bushel_n or_o 2500000_o quarter_n be_v to_o be_v account_v one_o year_n seed_n in_o my_o way_n i_o allow_v at_o most_o but_o half_a a_o bushel_n for_o one_o statute-acre_n which_o be_v but_o the_o five_o part_n of_o their_o allowance_n that_o be_v 500000_o quarter_n that_o be_v 2000000_o of_o quarter_n less_o than_o what_o be_v sow_v in_o the_o common_a way_n wheat_n be_v common_o one_o time_n and_o place_n with_o the_o other_o at_z at_o least_o 30_o s._n per_fw-la quarter_n rye_n at_o 24_o s._n barley_n at_o 20_o s._n and_o oat_n at_o 12_o s._n so_o all_o account_v together_o comes_z to_z above_o 20_o s._n a_o quarter_n and_o 2000000_o of_o quarter_n to_o 2000000_o l._n which_o be_v too_o much_o to_o be_v cast_v away_o every_o year_n for_o two_o quarter_n be_v more_o than_o enough_o to_o support_v one_o person_n all_o the_o year_n with_o bread_n and_o drink_n and_o so_o to_o support_v every_o year_n 1000000_o person_n man_n woman_n and_o child_n when_o the_o husbandman_n have_v twelve_o time_n his_o seed_n again_o or_o more_o say_v 32_o bushel_n or_o 4_o quarter_n he_o count_v himself_o in_o a_o good_a prosper_a way_n and_o when_o it_o be_v general_o so_o it_o be_v a_o plentiful_a year_n and_o 4_o quarter_n may_v be_v so_o worth_a 4_o l._n and_o when_o every_o acre_n one_o with_o the_o other_o in_o england_n etc._n etc._n yield_v 4_o l._n that_o be_v for_o 8000000_o acre_n 32000000_o l._n for_o a_o increase_n of_o the_o stock_n or_o wealth_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o this_o part_n that_o be_v by_o tillage_n only_o in_o my_o way_n though_o at_o double_a charge_n to_o the_o common_a way_n as_o by_o a_o strange_a mistake_v it_o be_v account_v i_o have_v sufficient_a cause_n to_o hope_n and_o in_o all_o submission_n to_o god_n will_v to_o be_v certain_a that_o every_o acre_n one_o with_o the_o other_o shall_v yield_v 10_o l._n and_o clear_a 4._o l._n so_o that_o if_o 8000000_o of_o acre_n be_v plough_v and_o sow_v my_o way_n the_o crop_n according_a to_o but_o the_o former_a account_n will_v be_v worth_a 80000000_o and_o the_o tithe_n 8000000_o and_o the_o 4_o l._n per_fw-la acre_n clear_v amount_v to_o 3200000_o l._n that_o be_v ●he_n kingdom_n will_v be_v enrich_v 24000000_o ever_o year_n more_o than_o in_o the_o common_a ●ay_n but_o i_o expect_v to_o have_v it_o object_v that_o if_o my_o way_n be_v general_o use_v upon_o ●000000_n of_o acre_n it_o will_v be_v too_o great_a cheapness_n and_o plenty_n which_o though_o ●t_a be_v hard_a that_o man_n shall_v repine_v at_o plenty_n which_o be_v a_o blessing_n from_o god_n may_v be_v thus_o prevent_v by_o tilling_n less_o say_v by_o 3200000_o of_o the_o 8000000_o of_o acre_n aforesaid_a and_o lay_v down_o 4800000_o acre_n and_o thus_o the_o balance_n between_o the_o common_a way_n and_o i_o will_v be_v about_o even_o and_o the_o kingdom_n as_o much_o enrich_v as_o now_o it_o may_v be_v judge_v to_o be_v as_o aforesaid_a and_o the_o tithe_n as_o much_o ●●ly_v not_o so_o much_o save_v out_o of_o the_o seed_n though_o as_o much_o proportionable_o note_v that_o if_o there_o be_v find_v or_o make_v manure_n enough_o competent_o for_o 8000000_o of_o acre_n before_o when_o 4800000_o acre_n shall_v be_v lay_v down_o for_o other_o use_v and_o consequent_o more_o cattle_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o so_o more_o manure_v and_o but_o ●00000_n acre_n in_o tillage_n to_o be_v there_o with_o enrich_v the_o land_n must_v necessary_o be_v make_v more_o fertile_a and_o productive_a of_o better_a crop_n than_o former_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o if_o 4800000_o acre_n be_v take_v from_o tillage_n and_o lay_v down_o for_o other_o use_n it_o will_v be_v long_o if_o ever_o the_o more_o barren_a part_n of_o it_o especial_o before_o it_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o produce_v

year_n and_o better_a and_o more_o yearly_a for_o many_o year_n after_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o tillage_n employ_v more_o hand_n than_o other_o sort_n of_o husbandry_n and_o that_o by_o so_o lessen_v the_o tillage_n great_a number_n of_o the_o poor_a sort_n will_v be_v undo_v for_o want_v of_o work_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v faithful_o and_o understand_o that_o i_o know_v divers_a
