late_o begin_v to_o flourish_v with_o we_o very_o well_o cork-tree_n i_o very_o little_a question_n the_o growth_n of_o this_o for_o first_o these_o tree_n grow_v abundant_o in_o biscay_n a_o country_n far_o cold_a than_o england_n where_o the_o summer_n also_o scarce_o mature_a the_o grape_n likewise_o they_o grow_v in_o the_o north_n of_o new-england_n at_o parcato-way_n further_o that_o

i_o hope_v i_o shall_v make_v it_o very_o probable_a that_o even_o this_o also_o may_v flourish_v in_o our_o isle_n in_o latin_a it_n be_v call_v ilex_fw-la of_o which_o there_o be_v divers_a sort_n some_o great_a some_o less_o some_o more_o some_o less_o beautiful_a the_o great_a sort_n which_o indeed_o bear_v little_a of_o the_o cherme_n grow_v very_o well_o in_o england_n to_o a_o great_a

they_o be_v habituate_v to_o the_o country_n and_o to_o cast_v their_o seed_n there_o thrive_v well_o thus_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o virginia_n wheat_n at_o first_o difficult_o thrive_v in_o new-england_n but_o the_o seed_n that_o matured_a there_o the_o next_o year_n flourish_v very_o well_o the_o same_o i_o observe_v of_o wheat_n bring_v from_o england_n of_o water_n melon_n seed_n

and_o i_o remember_v that_o on_o the_o barren_a plain_n in_o new-england_n i_o have_v see_v grow_v even_o every_o where_o a_o small_a oak_n seldom_o above_o two_o foot_n high_a yet_o lade_v with_o
