flaunders_n which_o grow_v on_o island_n which_o float_v up_o and_o down_o it_o be_v far_o less_o than_o that_o which_o the_o western_a man_n call_v eight_o with_o this_o they_o make_v their_o

the_o sweet_a willow_n it_o be_v not_o only_o good_a for_o shade_n and_o fire_n but_o as_o i_o be_o inform_v the_o leaf_n do_v not_o sour_a the_o grass_n but_o that_o the_o cattle_n will_v eat_v they_o soon_o than_o hay_n if_o this_o be_v so_o it_o may_v be_v of_o singular_a use_n for_o meadow_n 5_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o mighty_o destroy_v wood_n may_v be_v restrain_v as_o iron-worke_n be_v therefore_o the_o state_n have_v very_o well_o do_v to_o pull_v down_o divers_a iron-worke_n in_o the_o forest_n of_o deane_n that_o the_o timber_n may_v be_v preserve_v for_o ship_n which_o be_v account_v the_o tough_a in_o england_n and_o when_o it_o be_v dry_a as_o hard_o as_o iron_n the_o common-people_n do_v use_v to_o say_v that_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n day_n the_o spaniard_n send_v a_o ambassador_n purposely_o to_o get_v this_o wood_n destroy_v how_o true_a this_o be_v i_o know_v not_o but_o without_o question_n it_o be_v admirable_a wood_n for_o ship_n and_o general_o our_o english_a oak_n be_v the_o best_a in_o the_o world_n for_o ship_n because_o it_o be_v of_o a_o great_a grain_n and_o therefore_o strong_a but_o the_o oak_n of_o other_o country_n have_v a_o fine_a grain_n and_o more_o fit_a for_o wainscot_n and_o in_o this_o kind_a our_o forefather_n have_v be_v very_o provident_a for_o we_o have_v a_o act_n of_o long_o stand_v prohibit_v iron-worke_n within_o 20_o mile_n of_o london_n and_o within_o 3_o mile_n of_o the_o river_n of_o thames_n though_o you_o may_v find_v ironstone_n in_o divers_a place_n as_o in_o the_o great_a gravel-pit_n at_o woolwhich_n there_o be_v some_o ingenious_a man_n who_o late_o have_v get_v a_o patent_n for_o make_v iron_n with_o sea-coal_n i_o hope_v they_o will_v accomplish_v their_o desire_n for_o it_o will_v wonderful_o advance_v this_o island_n and_o save_v wood._n there_o be_v two_o fault_n in_o sea-coal_n in_o respect_n of_o melt_a iron-oare_n 1_o that_o it_o be_v apt_a to_o bake_v together_o or_o cake_n 2_o it_o have_v a_o sulphureous_a fume_n in_o it_o which_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o metal_n and_o consume_v it_o as_o we_o see_v by_o our_o iron-bar_n in_o window_n at_o london_n so_o that_o the_o metalline_a nature_n of_o the_o ironstone_n be_v much_o waste_v by_o it_o and_o that_o which_o remain_v be_v very_o brittle_a and_o will_v be_v could-shire_n i_o know_v that_o by_o the_o mixture_n of_o coal_n beat_v with_o loam_n and_o thorough_o dry_v one_o if_o not_o both_o of_o these_o inconvenience_n may_v be_v take_v away_o in_o the_o duke_n of_o cleveland_n country_n they_o use_v have_v turf_n half_a charcoal_n there_o be_v a_o way_n by_o make_v a_o kind_n of_o barter_n with_o loame_n urine_n etc._n etc._n which_o will_v cause_v charcoal_n to_o last_v very_o long_o as_o i_o be_o inform_v but_o these_o discourse_n belong_v to_o another_o place_n it_o be_v a_o great_a deficiency_n here_o in_o england_n without_o question_n bee_n that_o we_o have_v no_o more_o bee_n consider_v that_o they_o be_v neither_o chargeable_a require_v only_o a_o few_o straw_v for_o a_o house_n nor_o troublesome_a and_o this_o island_n may_v maintain_v ten_o time_n as_o many_o for_o though_o a_o place_n may_v be_v over-stocked_n with_o these_o animal_n as_o with_o the_o great_a yet_o i_o know_v no_o part_n of_o this_o land_n that_o be_v so_o and_o i_o know_v divers_a place_n which_o will_v maintain_v many_o hundred_o hive_n yet_o scarce_o one_o to_o be_v see_v 2_o our_o honey_n be_v the_o best_a in_o the_o world_n and_o wax_v a_o staple_n commodity_n further_o we_o know_v that_o that_o cold_a country_n not_o comparable_a to_o we_o as_o moscovia_n have_v far_o great_a quantity_n than_o we_o have_v so_o that_o it_o be_v incredible_a what_o quantity_n be_v find_v in_o the_o wood_n if_o the_o story_n of_o the_o man_n be_v true_a who_o fall_v up_o even_o to_o the_o ear_n in_o honey_n and_o have_v there_o perish_v have_v not_o a_o bear_n on_o which_o he_o catch_v hold_v pull_v he_o out_o now_o i_o have_v inquire_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v so_o great_a store_n of_o honey_n in_o moscovia_n consider_v the_o winter_n be_v extreme_a cold_n and_o also_o very_o long_o and_o i_o be_o credible_o inform_v that_o first_o the_o spring_n when_o it_o begin_v come_v extraordinary_a fast_o that_o the_o day_n be_v very_o long_o and_o the_o summer_n far_o dry_a than_o we_o here_o in_o england_n so_o that_o the_o bee_n be_v not_o hinder_v by_o continual_a shower_n as_o they_o be_v some_o year_n here_o in_o this_o isle_n and_o last_o that_o the_o country_n abound_v much_o with_o fir_n and_o pinetree_n which_o the_o inhabitant_n usual_o cut_v that_o the_o gum_n rosinous_n or_o turpentine_n substance_n may_v sweat_v forth_o to_o which_o place_n the_o bee_n do_v come_v and_o present_o fill_v themselves_o and_o return_v lade_v and_o perhaps_o for_o these_o very_a reason_n bee_n thrive_v very_o much_o in_o new-england_n 2_o we_o be_v deficient_a in_o the_o order_n of_o they_o not_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o negligence_n of_o particular_a man_n which_o be_v very_o frequent_a nor_o to_o write_v a_o general_a story_n of_o the_o order_n of_o they_o because_o it_o require_v much_o paper_n and_o mr._n leveret_n and_o butler_n especial_o the_o latter_a have_v write_v so_o exact_o and_o upon_o his_o own_o experience_n that_o little_o can_v be_v add_v to_o it_o only_o in_o a_o point_n or_o two_o i_o differ_v from_o he_o of_o the_o which_o i_o will_v speak_v brief_o 1_o that_o we_o must_v take_v and_o destroy_v all_o the_o bee_n for_o their_o honey_n and_o not_o drive_v they_o as_o they_o do_v in_o italy_n once_o or_o twice_o yearly_a 2_o that_o if_o a_o swarm_n be_v poor_a with_o little_a honey_n that_o that_o swarm_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v because_o it_o be_v poor_a so_o that_o the_o rich_a stock_n be_v destroy_v because_o they_o be_v rich_a and_o the_o poor_a swarm_n because_o they_o be_v poor_a so_o that_o be_v they_o rich_a or_o be_v they_o poor_a they_o must_v be_v destroy_v a_o italian_a report_v that_o in_o the_o city_n of_o askaly_n there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v that_o none_o shall_v destroy_v a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n unless_o he_o have_v a_o just_a cause_n account_v it_o a_o part_n of_o extreme_a injustice_n and_o cruelty_n to_o take_v away_o without_o cause_n both_o the_o good_n and_o life_n of_o such_o good_a and_o faithful_a servant_n i_o be_o credible_o inform_v that_o a_o english_a gentleman_n beyond_o the_o sea_n get_v many_o 100_o l_o yearly_a by_o keep_v bee_n after_o a_o new_a and_o ingenious_a manner_n which_o be_v thus_o he_o have_v a_o room_n make_v very_o warm_v and_o close_v yet_o with_o glass-windows_a which_o he_o can_v open_v at_o his_o pleasure_n to_o let_v the_o bee_n fly_v abroad_o when_o he_o please_v where_o he_o keep_v his_o bee_n and_o feed_v they_o all_o winter_n with_o a_o sweet_a composition_n make_v of_o molossoe_n flower_n sweet_a wine_n milk_n raisin_n etc._n etc._n for_o with_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o they_o usual_o feed_v the_o bee_n in_o italy_n and_o oftentimes_o in_o summer_n when_o the_o weather_n be_v rainy_a windy_a or_o so_o dispose_v that_o the_o bee_n can_v convenient_o go_v abroad_o he_o feed_v they_o at_o home_n with_o divers_a sweet_a thing_n and_o gather_v divers_a flower_n and_o lay_v they_o among_o they_o and_o stick_v up_o many_o fresh_a bough_n in_o divers_a place_n of_o his_o room_n that_o in_o swarming-time_n they_o may_v settle_v on_o they_o by_o these_o mean_v he_o preserve_v all_o his_o swarm_n and_o gather_v a_o incredible_a quantity_n of_o honey_n and_o wax_n and_o true_o this_o way_n seem_v to_o i_o very_o probable_a for_o 1_o we_o know_v the_o bee_n even_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o aunt_n will_v work_v continual_o even_o night_n and_o day_n winter_n and_o summer_n if_o that_o they_o be_v not_o hinder_v by_o darkness_n cold_a and_o moisture_n 2_o that_o bee_n do_v not_o only_o make_v honey_n for_o i_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v a_o peculiar_a propriety_n of_o make_v honey_n as_o the_o silk-worme_n silk_n out_o of_o mildew_n or_o honey_n but_o also_o out_o of_o all_o sweet_a thing_n as_o sugar_n molossoe_n etc._n etc._n 3_o that_o many_o sweet_a thing_n may_v be_v have_v far_o cheap_a than_o honey_n which_o i_o suppose_v the_o bee_n will_v transmute_v into_o perfect_a honey_n this_o

to_o the_o public_a their_o neighbour_n and_o also_o to_o themselves_o 17._o deficiency_n be_v the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o vegetable_n of_o this_o island_n use_v and_o their_o virtue_n and_o use_v
