matter_n as_o oil_n grease_n rosen_n pitch_n tallow_n sulphur_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o another_o place_n you_o say_v also_o that_o gold_n be_v make_v of_o the_o say_a fatness_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v a_o substance_n altogether_o free_a from_o burn_v and_o be_v not_o diminish_v in_o the_o fire_n we_o will_v be_v resolve_v how_o these_o seem_a contrariety_n can_v be_v true_a answer_n i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a fatness_n in_o every_o compound_a body_n the_o one_o combustible_a and_o the_o other_o incombustible_a which_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o burn_a of_o the_o high_a twig_n of_o any_o tree_n for_o first_o there_o rise_v a_o sharp_a vapour_n in_o the_o burn_a which_o be_v the_o universal_a spirit_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o vehiculum_fw-la which_z by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o sun_n heat_n lift_v up_o the_o former_a fatness_n than_o the_o combustible_a part_n consume_v into_o air_n by_o the_o fire_n then_o the_o ash_n remain_v be_v lay_v upon_o land_n fatn_v it_o whereby_o a_o fatness_n incombustible_a be_v discover_v and_o these_o two_o fatness_n be_v in_o mineral_n as_o well_o as_o vegetable_n and_o of_o the_o incombustible_a and_o fix_a fatness_n mineral_n be_v gold_n make_v by_o nature_n and_o also_o by_o art_n imitate_v nature_n and_o if_o any_o man_n doubt_v it_o let_v he_o hazard_v a_o good_a wager_n upon_o it_o which_o shall_v be_v equalise_v and_o the_o question_n shall_v be_v determine_v by_o the_o great_a viz._n experience_n which_o admit_v no_o imposture_n yet_o i_o can_v advise_v my_o best_a friend_n that_o love_v to_o try_v experience_n to_o spend_v their_o money_n time_n and_o study_v upon_o improvement_n in_o husbandry_n be_v work_n more_o certain_a and_o more_o profitable_a objection_n iii_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o barrenness_n increase_v by_o the_o usual_a practice_n in_o husbandry_n at_o this_o day_n and_o by_o the_o two_o way_n allege_v by_o you_o in_o your_o book_n viz._n first_o by_o the_o carry_n of_o the_o sheep_n from_o the_o commons_o with_o their_o full_a belly_n into_o the_o fold_n whereby_o the_o one_o ground_n be_v impoverish_v to_o enrich_v the_o other_o and_o this_o we_o conceive_v may_v be_v cure_v by_o your_o new_a invention_n for_o provide_v of_o manure_v which_o be_v neglect_v before_o second_o the_o land_n be_v much_o impoverish_v by_o great_a land-floud_n which_o carry_v a_o wonderful_a quantity_n of_o fatness_n yearly_a into_o the_o sea_n but_o how_o this_o shall_v be_v remedy_v we_o know_v not_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o your_o invention_n for_o the_o provide_v of_o manure_v more_o than_o before_o be_v excellent_a good_a and_o profitable_a for_o the_o general_a good_a and_o will_v withstand_v the_o barrenness_n much_o so_o that_o it_o will_v not_o increase_v so_o fast_o as_o it_o do_v before_o yet_o we_o conceive_v that_o barrenness_n will_v still_o increase_v though_o more_o slow_o for_o all_o your_o multiplication_n of_o manure_n will_v not_o equalise_v much_o less_o overmatch_v the_o fatness_n carry_v yearly_a by_o land-floud_n into_o the_o sea_n answer_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o new_a provision_n of_o manure_n by_o lime_n ash_n marle_n mussilage_n and_o residence_n of_o water_n and_o by_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o invention_n will_v equalise_v and_o overmatch_v the_o great_a quantity_n of_o fatness_n carry_v yearly_a into_o the_o sea_n if_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v industrious_o put_v in_o practice_n the_o subterraneal_a vapour_n yearly_a elevate_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o fatness_n though_o in_o some_o place_n more_o abundant_o then_o in_o other_o for_o i_o have_v know_v arable_a land_n bear_v good_a corn_n time_n out_o of_o mind_n with_o every_o three_o year_n rest_n and_o fallow_v without_o any_o manure_n at_o all_o but_o only_o by_o this_o subterraneal_a vapour_n arise_v from_o some_o subterraneal_a fat_a substance_n but_o though_o this_o be_v but_o in_o some_o special_a place_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o it_o help_v well_o in_o all_o place_n though_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a without_o addition_n of_o manure_n but_o if_o all_o man_n will_v be_v rule_v by_o i_o we_o will_v not_o only_o put_v these_o work_n in_o practice_n very_o industrious_o for_o the_o general_a good_a thereby_o to_o testify_v our_o love_n to_o all_o man_n both_o live_n and_o yet_o to_o come_v but_o also_o we_o will_v make_v use_n of_o my_o first_o invention_n mention_v in_o my_o first_o chapter_n viz._n to_o bow_v the_o knee_n of_o the_o heart_n instead_o of_o the_o usual_a and_o complemental_a bow_v of_o the_o knee_n of_o the_o body_n to_o the_o donor_n of_o all_o goodness_n then_o may_v we_o have_v firm_a confidence_n have_v former_o testify_v our_o love_n to_o god_n by_o the_o general_a love_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n especial_o those_o of_o our_o own_o kind_n that_o he_o will_v send_v the_o former_a and_o the_o latter_a rain_n in_o due_a season_n without_o scant_v we_o at_o any_o time_n and_o pour_v down_o too_o much_o at_o other_o time_n whereof_o we_o have_v experience_n this_o last_o year_n wherein_o both_o these_o event_n have_v cause_v loss_n to_o this_o kingdom_n above_o the_o value_n of_o 20._o subsidy_n in_o one_o year_n if_o this_o new_a invention_n be_v well_o put_v in_o practice_n than_o will_v the_o heart-maker_n take_v away_o these_o our_o stony_a and_o hard_a heart_n and_o give_v we_o heart_n of_o flesh_n and_o all_o mourning_n and_o lamentation_n for_o want_v of_o food_n will_v be_v do_v away_o for_o than_o will_v our_o labour_n be_v second_v by_o the_o chief_a master_n in_o husbandry_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v no_o more_o be_v frustrate_v of_o our_o expect_a harvest_n objection_n four_o we_o find_v your_o answer_n so_o satisfactory_a that_o we_o will_v make_v no_o more_o objection_n but_o this_o one_o which_o we_o will_v almost_o answer_v ourselves_o which_o be_v this_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o your_o discourse_n concern_v the_o preservation_n of_o corn_n from_o blast_v be_v very_o rational_a and_o argue_v much_o skill_n in_o husbandry_n yet_o whether_o the_o practice_n thereof_o will_v be_v answerable_a though_o we_o see_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v thereof_o yet_o be_v school_v by_o yourself_o we_o will_v suspend_v our_o full_a belief_n thereof_o till_o experience_n testify_v and_o manifest_v the_o truth_n and_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v excuse_v herein_o because_o it_o be_v your_o own_o counsel_n to_o we_o wherein_o we_o see_v not_o but_o that_o howsoever_o it_o prove_v you_o yourself_o be_v out_o of_o blame_n for_o that_o every_o man_n may_v try_v the_o truth_n thereof_o by_o your_o own_o direction_n without_o any_o material_a prejudice_n in_o small_a quantity_n at_o the_o first_o therefore_o if_o it_o may_v please_v you_o to_o show_v we_o your_o new_a invent_a engine_n and_o the_o use_n of_o they_o how_o the_o tedious_a labour_n of_o your_o new_a work_n may_v be_v ease_v than_o we_o will_v declare_v our_o opinion_n to_o all_o posterity_n and_o so_o take_v our_o leaf_n answer_n well_o go_v with_o i_o and_o you_o shall_v receive_v as_o much_o satisfaction_n by_o demonstration_n as_o former_o by_o discourse_n you_o see_v here_o the_o experiment_n of_o my_o persian_a wheel_n you_o see_v that_o it_o be_v 40._o foot_n high_a you_o see_v that_o the_o bottle_n do_v fill_v in_o the_o river_n and_o empty_v themselves_o into_o a_o trough_n 36._o foot_n high_a and_o the_o water_n be_v convey_v into_o yonder_o ditch_n which_o be_v a_o mile_n long_o you_o see_v divers_a stop_n in_o the_o ditch_n whereby_o the_o water_n be_v cause_v to_o flow_v over_o yonder_o barren_a ground_n whereby_o it_o be_v become_v good_a meadow_n you_o see_v it_o be_v of_o no_o great_a cost_n nor_o subject_n to_o be_v out_o of_o order_n nor_o do_v require_v any_o great_a repair_n you_o see_v the_o motion_n be_v perpetual_a day_n and_o night_n without_o look_v to_o if_o you_o be_v in_o persia_n you_o may_v see_v two_o or_o three_o hundred_o of_o these_o in_o one_o river_n if_o the_o water_n come_v from_o chalky_a or_o limestone_n ground_n or_o be_v mix_v with_o land-floud_n than_o it_o do_v fatten_v the_o ground_n wonderful_a now_o look_v upon_o my_o engine_n for_o the_o cleanse_n of_o thorny_a and_o rough_a ground_n you_o see_v the_o nether_a part_n be_v like_o a_o three_o grain_a dungforke_n only_o it_o be_v 40._o time_n great_a and_o strong_a you_o see_v the_o upper_a part_n be_v like_o a_o leaver_n but_o ten_o time_n strong_a and_o very_o much_o long_o you_o see_v here_o a_o great_a bush_n of_o thorn_n and_o brier_n together_o which_o to_o eradicate_v the_o common_a way_n will_v spend_v a_o good_a part_n of_o a_o man_n day_n work_v now_o thus_o i_o set_v my_o instrument_n half_o a_o foot_n from_o the_o root_n of_o it_o slopewise_o then_o
