scarcity_n of_o wood_n the_o very_a wealthiness_n of_o the_o soil_n itself_o almost_o deny_v to_o bear_v such_o burden_n because_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o stiffness_n of_o those_o caly_n be_v contrary_n to_o their_o growth_n yet_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o necessity_n and_o use_n of_o wood_n be_v so_o great_a and_o valuable_a i_o will_v persuade_v every_o good_a and_o worthy_a

goodness_n ground_n now_o for_o the_o general_a use_n of_o these_o barren_a ground_n it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o albeit_o by_o the_o mean_v before_o show_v they_o may_v be_v help_v or_o

most_o plain_a and_o bleak_a and_o most_o subject_a to_o all_o weather_n and_o the_o three_o part_n which_o be_v the_o warm_a and_o safe_a you_o shall_v graze_v from_o all-hollantide_n till_o

these_o barren_a ground_n be_v for_o the_o breed_v of_o cattle_n yet_o you_o shall_v understand_v i_o particular_o as_o namely_o what_o cattle_n for_o what_o soil_n for_o every_o barren_a earth_n will_v not_o bring_v forth_o cattle_n alike_o as_o some_o will_v bear_v a_o fair_a cow_n or_o ox_n yet_o but_o a_o little_a horse_n and_o some_o will_v bring_v forth_o a_o very_a goodly_a horse_n
