some_o peculiar_a blessing_n to_o every_o country_n notwithstanding_o i_o dare_v say_v it_o be_v probable_a that_o vineyard_n have_v former_o flourish_v in_o england_n and_o that_o we_o be_v to_o

that_o it_o seem_v probable_a they_o have_v be_v such_o i_o hear_v further_o by_o divers_a people_n of_o credit_n that_o by_o record_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o tithe_n of_o wine_n in_o glocestershire_n be_v in_o divers_a parish_n considerable_o great_a but_o at_o length_n gascony_n come_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o english_a from_o whence_o come_v the_o most_o of_o the_o

be_v think_v convenient_a to_o discourage_v vineyard_n here_o that_o the_o great_a trade_n may_v be_v drive_v with_o gascon_a and_o many_o ship_n may_v find_v employment_n thereby_o some_o fond_a astrologer_n have_v conceit_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v grow_v old_a and_o therefore_o cold_a have_v cause_v the_o sun_n to_o descend_v many_o degree_n low_a to_o warm_v and_o cherish_v it_o and_o one_o argument_n which_o they_o bring_v for_o this_o opinion_n be_v that_o vine_n and_o silkworm_n be_v find_v in_o those_o country_n wherein_o former_a time_n they_o be_v unknown_a but_o if_o these_o fond_a man_n have_v consider_v the_o good_a husbandry_n in_o these_o time_n with_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n on_o it_o they_o have_v not_o run_v into_o such_o foolish_a imagination_n this_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o roman_a soldier_n who_o have_v alsatia_n give_v they_o to_o live_v in_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a and_o most_o southern_a place_n of_o germany_n mutine_v because_o they_o think_v it_o so_o cold_a that_o vine_n shall_v not_o grow_v there_o and_o that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o that_o delectable_a liquor_n whereas_o we_o find_v at_o this_o present_a day_n vine_n flourish_v many_o hundred_o mile_n more_o towards_o the_o north_n both_o in_o france_n lorraine_n and_o germany_n and_o that_o they_o be_v creep_v down_o even_o to_o the_o latitude_n of_o england_n for_o the_o rhenish-wine_n grow_v within_o a_o degree_n of_o the_o west-southern_a place_n of_o this_o isle_n and_o paris_n be_v not_o two_o degree_n south_n of_o we_o yet_o vine_n grow_v threescore_o mile_n on_o this_o side_n paris_n as_o beaumont_z yea_o the_o vine_n of_o these_o place_n be_v the_o most_o delicate_a for_o what_o wine_n be_v prefer_v before_o the_o neat_a rhenish_n for_o lady_n and_o at_o table_n and_o true_o in_o my_o opinion_n though_o i_o have_v travel_v twice_o through_o france_n yet_o no_o wine_n please_v i_o like_o vin_fw-fr d'ache_n and_o of_o paris_n especial_o about_o rueill_n which_o be_v a_o very_a fine_a brisk_a wine_n and_o not_o fume_v up_o to_o the_o head_n and_o inebriate_v as_o other_o wine_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o if_o vine_n have_v step_v out_o of_o italy_n into_o alsatia_n from_o they_o to_o these_o place_n which_o be_v even_o as_o far_o north_n as_o england_n and_o yet_o the_o wine_n there_o be_v the_o most_o delicate_a that_o they_o be_v not_o limit_v and_o bound_v there_o for_o a_o 100_o mile_n more_o or_o less_o cause_v little_a alteration_n in_o heat_n or_o cold_a and_o some_o advantage_n which_o we_o have_v will_v supply_v that_o defect_n but_o not_o to_o insist_v too_o long_o on_o probability_n i_o say_v that_o here_o in_o england_n some_o ingenious_a gentleman_n usual_o make_v wine_n very_o good_a long_o last_v without_o extraordinary_a labour_n and_o cost_n to_o instance_n in_o one_o who_o in_o great_a chart_n in_o the_o wild_a of_o kent_n a_o place_n very_o
