to_o the_o pore_n this_o moisturerise_n up_o continual_o out_o of_o the_o bowel_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o earth_n though_o those_o earth_n do_v not_o thereby_o cease_v to_o be_v still_o fresh_a that_o be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o produce_v all_o sort_n of_o fruit_n and_o since_o it_o be_v utter_o false_a that_o the_o goodness_n of_o any_o rich_a soil_n decay_v or_o be_v in_o the_o least_o

do_v even_o to_o perfect_a barrenness_n this_o decay_n must_v proceed_v from_o the_o activity_n of_o the_o root_n which_o by_o their_o attractive_a motion_n have_v exhaust_v all_o that_o fruitful_a

than_o of_o those_o that_o have_v few_o root_n but_o my_o own_o experience_n show_v i_o that_o all_o this_o be_v false_a and_o that_o a_o good_a tree_n of_o what_o sort_n soever_o be_v plant_v in_o

year_n trial_n and_o careful_a observation_n and_o upon_o the_o whole_a i_o lay_v down_o this_o as_o a_o stand_a rule_n that_o the_o more_o old_a root_n you_o leave_v upon_o the_o tree_n you_o plant_v the_o few_o and_o the_o worse_a the_o new_a one_o will_v be_v which_o it_o send_v forth_o whereas_o the_o few_o you_o leave_v provide_v they_o be_v good_a one_o and_o indifferent_o short_a the_o
