enumerate_v some_o of_o they_o we_o shall_v begin_v with_o those_o that_o pretend_v to_o the_o design_v part_n 1._o these_o pretender_n be_v most_o of_o they_o so_o unskilful_a in_o mathematics_n that_o they_o know_v not_o common_a proportion_n nor_o to_o take_v the_o profile_v of_o any_o ground_n so_o that_o they_o and_o sometime_o a_o surveyor_n i_o mean_v one_o that_o usurp_v that_o title_n that_o be_v as_o ignorant_a as_o they_o set_v out_o the_o wall-line_n at_o random_n and_o in_o a_o little_a time_n after_o when_o a_o skilful_a man_n come_v to_o examine_v they_o half_a or_o more_o of_o those_o wall-line_n must_v be_v take_v down_o or_o else_o vast_a quantity_n of_o earth_n must_v be_v bring_v in_o or_o carry_v out_o to_o bring_v the_o garden_n to_o such_o a_o level_a as_o it_o must_v be_v if_o the_o ground_n be_v to_o answer_v the_o level_v of_o the_o wall_n which_o prove_v a_o great_a charge_n to_o person_n for_o who_o the_o work_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v and_o this_o do_v also_o discourage_v and_o overturn_v many_o brave_a design_n and_o attempt_n 2._o these_o pretender_n be_v as_o little_a skill_a in_o that_o part_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o secure_v body_n of_o good_a earth_n for_o the_o general_a plant_v they_o consider_v only_o something_o call_v level_v that_o be_v according_a to_o their_o sense_n to_o take_v down_o a_o hill_n and_o turn_v it_o into_o the_o next_o hole_n and_o not_o to_o take_v out_o the_o good_a earth_n from_o that_o hole_n nor_o to_o take_v off_o the_o good_a earth_n from_o the_o top_n of_o that_o hill_n but_o sink_v the_o good_a earth_n and_o bury_v it_o in_o the_o hole_n with_o bad_a earth_n a_o top_n of_o it_o and_o leave_v that_o which_o be_v a_o hill_n a_o flat_a dead_a clay_n or_o worse_o 3._o again_o the_o pretender_n to_o this_o design_v part_n be_v so_o unskilful_a in_o know_v how_o to_o make_v a_o collection_n of_o fruit-tree_n for_o those_o lame_a design_n which_o they_o have_v make_v that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o be_v proper_a to_o plant_v against_o the_o several_a aspect_n of_o those_o wall_n nor_o what_o for_o dwarf_n nor_o high_a stander_n nor_o what_o kind_n of_o hardy_a ever-greens_a or_o flower_a shrub_n be_v proper_a for_o walk_n standard_n center-tree_n or_o hedge_n or_o what_o ornamental_a line_n of_o edge_n or_o line_n of_o root_n of_o flower_n their_o bed_n or_o border_n require_v to_o adorn_v their_o garden_n and_o the_o esculant_a herb_n or_o florilege_n most_o of_o they_o be_v very_o ignorant_a in_o as_o several_a of_o their_o work_n demonstrate_v these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o enormity_n commit_v by_o unskilful_a designer_n but_o be_v not_o one_o ten_o part_n of_o what_o may_v be_v say_v of_o and_o against_o they_o and_o of_o the_o loss_n by_o they_o we_o come_v next_o to_o mention_v part_n of_o the_o enormity_n which_o be_v commit_v by_o a_o sort_n of_o man_n which_o have_v creep_v into_o the_o art_n of_o gard'n_v by_o stealth_n contrary_a and_o in_o opposition_n to_o those_o by-law_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o corporation_n charter_n they_o be_v the_o very_a pest_n and_o plague_n to_o all_o those_o which_o shall_v have_v the_o misfortune_n to_o receive_v they_o into_o their_o service_n and_o the_o spring_n from_o whence_o all_o those_o rivulet_n of_o foul_a water_n have_v proceed_v have_v be_v from_o those_o many_o new_a garden_n and_o plantation_n which_o have_v be_v make_v since_o the_o restauration_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o as_o royal_a garden_n within_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o corporation_n charter_n

within_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o corporation_n charter_n and_o several_a more_o of_o less_o note_n within_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o corporation_n charter_n when_o these_o garden_n be_v first_o make_v the_o master_n designer_n and_o gardener_n can_v not_o perform_v those_o work_n with_o a_o few_o hand_n so_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v into_o the_o work_n man_n from_o several_a country_n especial_o from_o the_o north_n who_o be_v a_o hardy_a sort_n of_o people_n know_v nothing_o but_o plain_a labour_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o work_v as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v poor_a but_o when_o they_o be_v warm_v with_o provision_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o receive_v such_o great_a increase_n of_o wage_n from_o what_o they_o have_v in_o their_o own_o country_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o those_o be_v skilled_a in_o be_v to_o be_v debauch_v in_o drink_v etc._n etc._n upon_o report_n of_o these_o north_n country_n man_n preferment_n several_a from_o other_o county_n resort_v upon_o the_o same_o errand_n and_o his_o majesty_n plantation_n of_o st._n james's-park_n greenwich_n and_o hampton-court_n be_v design_v all_o sort_n be_v receive_v into_o present_a pay_n but_o these_o recruit_n prove_v to_o be_v as_o great_a debauchee_n as_o their_o predecessor_n or_o worse_a for_o the_o first_o come_v from_o pure_a ignorance_n and_o poverty_n but_o many_o of_o the_o last_o have_v live_v voluptuous_o and_o lead_v debauch_a life_n in_o their_o own_o country_n and_o can_v not_o live_v there_o any_o long_o so_o up_o they_o come_v to_o these_o place_n for_o refuge_n to_o secure_v they_o from_o their_o creditor_n now_o from_o these_o two_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o a_o succession_n of_o good_a gardener_n shall_v spring_v but_o the_o mischief_n end_v not_o here_o for_o these_o man_n observe_v how_o gardener_n do_v improve_v their_o fortune_n and_o how_o well_o the_o master_n of_o that_o art_n live_v be_v embolden_v to_o put_v on_o a_o blue_a apron_n and_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v master_n of_o the_o art_n etc._n etc._n and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o grand_a assurance_n and_o impudent_a story_n several_a of_o they_o be_v receive_v and_o employ_v as_o master_n and_o in_o a_o little_a time_n these_o master_n receive_v into_o their_o work_n several_a of_o their_o old_a comrade_n who_o in_o some_o time_n be_v also_o make_v gardener_n and_o by_o these_o method_n the_o enormity_n increase_v contrary_a to_o the_o charter_n althô_o commit_v within_o the_o limit_n of_o the_o same_o which_o as_o the_o master_n and_o warden_n say_v they_o can_v not_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o for_o want_v of_o power_n for_o tho'_o the_o law_n of_o the_o charter_n impose_v several_a mark_n forfeiture_n for_o set_v any_o person_n into_o such_o a_o employment_n without_o be_v qualify_v yet_o they_o can_v not_o levy_v any_o thing_n beside_o what_o be_v within_o the_o new_a limit_n of_o the_o charter_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o several_a
