part_n of_o the_o land_n by_o the_o several_a cast_v up_o of_o much_o mould_n upon_o the_o grass_n all_o which_o be_v hinderanee_n very_o great_a to_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o owner_n but_o for_o the_o ant-hil_n if_o my_o opinion_n fail_v not_o exceed_o they_o be_v grand_a enemy_n to_o the_o grazier_n and_o husbandman_n advantage_n they_o destroy_v more_o than_o man_n observe_v i_o do_v believe_v that_o in_o some_o great_a pasture_n in_o england_n there_o be_v one_o four_o part_n of_o the_o clear_a fruit_n of_o that_o land_n lose_v by_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o they_o and_o little_o better_a in_o other_o pasture_n by_o the_o molehill_n for_o although_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o ant-hill_n be_v little_a or_o no_o prejudice_n they_o be_v much_o mistake_v and_o they_o will_v clear_o be_v convince_v thereof_o if_o they_o will_v but_o either_o serious_o consider_v the_o quantity_n of_o grass_n that_o grow_v upon_o they_o or_o else_o consider_v the_o rareness_n of_o cattle_n feed_v upon_o they_o and_o then_o also_o consider_v the_o quantity_n of_o ground_n and_o good_a ground_n they_o cover_v will_v easy_o appear_v the_o great_a prejudice_n by_o they_o and_o that_o the_o sand_n and_o gravel_n wash_v from_o the_o molehill_n be_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o rot_a sheep_n i_o absolute_o affirm_v but_o thereto_o some_o may_v object_v they_o make_v more_o ground_n i_o answer_v ob._n they_o do_v such_o as_o it_o be_v destroy_v a_o lesser_a good_a quantity_n of_o land_n ans._n and_o add_v possible_o a_o double_a bad_a but_o let_v they_o consider_v that_o this_o addition_n be_v a_o great_a substraction_n for_o if_o you_o weigh_v what_o i_o say_v before_o they_o bear_v little_a or_o no_o grass_n a_o little_a wild_a time_n and_o speary_a harsh_a grass_n that_o cattle_n eat_v not_o but_o a_o little_a thereof_o in_o case_n of_o hunger_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o cover_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a land_n do_v but_o real_o consider_v it_o upon_o

that_o be_v so_o hilly_a and_o again_o if_o you_o do_v not_o flatter_v yourselves_o in_o your_o own_o judgement_n you_o will_v find_v that_o while_n the_o land_n be_v plain_a if_o you_o consider_v the_o fruit_n it_o then_o yield_v and_o the_o cattle_n it_o then_o maintain_v you_o will_v find_v there_o be_v no_o proportion_n between_o what_o it_o then_o keep_v and_o what_o it_o now_o maintain_v for_o in_o my_o experience_n i_o find_v that_o old_a resty_a land_n much_o overrun_v with_o these_o hill_n much_o degenerate_v and_o do_v not_o nor_o have_v of_o late_a year_n keep_v the_o former_a

clear_a profit_n the_o grazier_n breeder_n or_o tenant_n need_v expect_v and_o although_o some_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v their_o experience_n herein_o yet_o many_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o find_v it_o by_o lose_a proof_n beside_o the_o danger_n of_o cast_v their_o cattle_n and_o sheep_n betwixt_o the_o hill_n which_o oft_o destroy_v they_o another_o cause_n of_o barrenness_n be_v bogginess_n
