that_o it_o seem_v probable_a they_o have_v be_v such_o i_o hear_v further_o by_o divers_a people_n of_o credit_n that_o by_o record_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o tithe_n of_o wine_n in_o

one_o argument_n which_o they_o bring_v for_o this_o opinion_n be_v that_o vine_n and_o silkworm_n be_v find_v in_o those_o country_n wherein_o former_a time_n they_o be_v unknown_a but_o if_o these_o fond_a man_n have_v consider_v the_o good_a husbandry_n in_o these_o time_n with_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n on_o it_o they_o have_v not_o run_v into_o such_o foolish_a imagination_n this_o be_v

because_o they_o think_v it_o so_o cold_a that_o vine_n shall_v not_o grow_v there_o and_o that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v be_v deprive_v of_o that_o delectable_a liquor_n whereas_o we_o find_v at_o this_o present_a day_n vine_n flourish_v many_o hundred_o mile_n more_o towards_o the_o north_n both_o in_o france_n lorraine_n and_o germany_n and_o that_o they_o be_v creep_v down_o even_o to_o

yet_o vine_n grow_v threescore_o mile_n on_o this_o side_n paris_n as_o beaumont_z yea_o the_o vine_n of_o these_o place_n be_v the_o most_o delicate_a for_o what_o wine_n be_v prefer_v before_o the_o

of_o paris_n especial_o about_o rueill_n which_o be_v a_o very_a fine_a brisk_a wine_n and_o not_o fume_v up_o to_o the_o head_n and_o inebriate_v as_o other_o wine_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o it_o

some_o advantage_n which_o we_o have_v will_v supply_v that_o defect_n but_o not_o to_o insist_v too_o long_o on_o probability_n i_o say_v that_o here_o in_o england_n some_o ingenious_a gentleman_n usual_o make_v wine_n very_o good_a long_o last_v without_o extraordinary_a labour_n and_o cost_n to_o instance_n in_o one_o who_o in_o great_a chart_n in_o the_o wild_a of_o kent_n a_o place_n very_o

many_o sort_n of_o grape_n among_o gardiner_n yet_o i_o commend_v four_o sort_n especial_o to_o they_o and_o i_o desire_v that_o they_o be_v very_o careful_a in_o this_o particular_a for_o it_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o work_n if_o you_o fail_v in_o this_o you_o fail_v in_o all_o for_o i_o know_v that_o burdeaux-vine_n bear_v very_o great_a grape_n
make_v verjuice_n only_o at_o paris_n and_o that_o the_o tender_a orleans-vine_n do_v not_o thrive_v there_o the_o first_o sort_n be_v the_o parse_o vine_n or_o canada-grape_n because_o it_o first_o come_v from_o those_o part_n where_o if_o grow_n natural_o and_o though_o the_o country_n be_v intolerable_o cold_a yet_o even_o in_o the_o wood_n without_o manure_v it_o so_o far_o ripen_v his_o fruit_n that_o the_o jesuit_n make_v wine_n of_o it_o for_o their_o mass_n and_o racineè_fw-la which_o be_v the_o juice_n of_o the_o grape_n new_o express_v and_o boil_v to_o a_o syrup_n and_o be_v very_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a for_o their_o lent-provision_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o their_o relation_n and_o this_o vine_n seem_v to_o be_v make_v for_o these_o northern_a country_n because_o it_o have_v its_o leaf_n very_o small_a and_o juicy_a as_o if_o it_o be_v on_o purpose_n to_o let_v in_o the_o sun_n and_o it_o ripen_v soon_o than_o other_o grape_n as_o i_o have_v observe_v in_o oxford-graden_a 2_o sort_n of_o vine_n be_v the_o rhenish-grape_n for_o it_o grow_v in_o a_o temperate_a country_n not_o much_o hot_a in_o summer_n than_o england_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v excellent_a as_o all_o know_v 3_o sort_n be_v the_o paris-grape_n which_o be_v much_o like_o the_o temper_n of_o england_n only_o a_o little_o hot_a in_o summer_n this_o grape_n bear_v a_o small_a bunch_n close_o set_v together_o very_o hardy_a to_o endure_v frost_n and_o other_o inconvenience_n and_o be_v soon_o ripe_a so_o that_o the_o vintage_n of_o paris_n be_v soon_o end_v then_o that_o of_o orleans_n or_o bordeaux_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o so_o delicate_a to_o the_o taste_n as_o some_o other_o grape_n yet_o it_o make_v a_o excellent_a brisk_a wine_n 4_o sort_n be_v the_o small_a muskadel_n which_o be_v a_o very_a fine_a pleasant_a grape_n both_o to_o eat_v and_o to_o make_v wine_n in_o italy_n it_o usual_o grow_v against_o their_o house_n wall_n and_o of_o this_o they_o make_v a_o small_a pleasant_a wine_n a_o month_n or_o two_o before_o the_o ordinary_a vintage_n it_o be_v a_o tender_a plant_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o other_o vine_n in_o the_o field_n these_o vine_n i_o know_v be_v the_o most_o convenient_a for_o this_o isle_n because_o they_o bear_v small_a bunch_n and_o grape_n soon_o ripen_v and_o be_v hardy_a to_o endure_v frost_n and_o ill_a weather_n 2_o to_o choose_v convenient_a place_n for_o this_o end_n i_o counsel_v they_o first_o to_o plant_v vine_n on_o the_o southside_n of_o their_o dwell_a house_n barn_n stable_n and_o outhouse_n the_o gentleman_n of_o kent_n who_o i_o mention_v before_o use_v this_o course_n and_o to_o keep_v the_o vine_n from_o hurt_v his_o tile_n and_o that_o the_o wind_n may_v not_o wrong_v his_o vine_n he_o have_v a_o frame_n make_v of_o pole_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o wood_n about_o a_o foot_n from_o the_o tile_n to_o the_o which_o he_o tie_v the_o vine_n by_o this_o mean_v his_o vine_n have_v the_o reflection_n of_o the_o yard_n side_n of_o the_o house_n and_o tile_n do_v ripen_v very_o well_o and_o bear_v much_o so_o that_o one_o old_a vine_n have_v produce_v nigh_o a_o hogshead_n of_o wine_n in_o one_o year_n and_o i_o wish_v all_o to_o take_v this_o course_n which_o be_v neither_o chargeable_a nor_o troublesome_a but_o very_o pleasant_a and_o if_o all_o in_o this_o island_n will_v do_v thus_o it_o be_v incredible_a what_o abundance_n of_o wine_n may_v be_v make_v even_o by_o this_o petty_a way_n 2_o if_o that_o any_o gentleman_n will_v be_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o make_v a_o vineyard_n let_v he_o choose_v a_o fine_a sandy_a warm_a hill_n open_a to_o the_o southeast_n rather_o than_o to_o the_o south-west_n for_o though_o the_o south-west_n seem_v to_o be_v hot_a yet_o the_o southeast_n ripen_v better_a as_o i_o have_v see_v in_o oxford_n garden_n because_o the_o southeast_n be_v soon_o warm_v by_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o the_o south-west_n wind_n be_v the_o wind_n which_o blow_v most_o frequent_o and_o bring_v rain_n which_o refrigerate_v the_o plant_n and_o such_o a_o place_n be_v very_o requisite_a for_o in_o other_o place_n vine_n do_v not_o thrive_v even_o in_o france_n for_o if_o you_o travel_v betwixt_o paris_n and_o orleans_n which_o be_v above_o 30_o league_n yet_o you_o shall_v scarce_o see_v a_o vineyard_n because_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a champian-countrey_n so_o likewise_o betwixt_o fontarabia_n to_o bordeaux_n in_o the_o southern_a part_n of_o france_n for_o a_o 100_o mile_n together_o because_o the_o land_n be_v general_o a_o

of_o they_o and_o if_o any_o find_v such_o a_o fine_a warm_a hill_n and_o do_v dung_n and_o fence_v it_o well_o he_o have_v a_o great_a advantage_n of_o most_o of_o the_o vineyard_n of_o france_n by_o

will_v brief_o tell_v what_o i_o have_v see_v in_o italy_n through_o all_o lombardy_n which_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n plain_a and_o champion_n their_o vine_n grow_v in_o their_o hedge_n on_o

of_o way_n in_o provence_n they_o cut_v the_o vine_n about_o two_o foot_n high_a and_o make_v it_o strong_a and_o stub_a like_a as_o we_o do_v our_o osier_n which_o stock_n bear_v up_o the_o branch_n without_o a_o prop._n 2_o about_o orleans_n and_o where_o they_o be_v more_o curious_a they_o make_v frame_n for_o they_o to_o run_v along_o 3_o about_o paris_n they_o tie_v they_o to_o short_a pole_n as_o we_o do_v hop_n in_o france_n they_o usual_o make_v trench_n or_o small_a ditch_n about_o three_o or_o four_o foot_n from_o one_o another_o and_o therein_o plant_v their_o vine_n about_o one_o

in_o force_n yet_o there_o be_v nor_o need_v there_o be_v any_o force_n to_o compel_v man_n to_o till_o and_o sow_v their_o land_n for_o they_o have_v at_o length_n find_v the_o sweetness_n and_o

within_o door_n honest_o then_o by_o run_v rogue_v up_o and_o down_o why_o shall_v they_o not_o compel_v they_o to_o it_o and_o though_o some_o may_v think_v the_o parish_n will_v lose_v much_o by_o this_o way_n because_o that_o the_o stock_n wrought_v will_v not_o be_v put_v off_o but_o with_o loss_n as_o perhaps_o 10_o l_o will_v be_v bring_v to_o 8_o l_o yet_o let_v they_o consider_v how_o

they_o leave_v it_o as_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o flaunders_n i_o have_v likewise_o observe_v some_o deficiency_n in_o wood_n wood_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o declare_v with_o the_o best_a way_n to_o remedy_n the_o same_o 1_o it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n that_o general_o through_o the_o island_n the_o wood_n be_v destroy_v so_o that_o we_o be_v in_o many_o place_n very_o much_o necessitate_v both_o for_o fuel_n &_o also_o for_o timber_n for_o building_n and_o other_o use_n so_o that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o coal_n from_o newcastle_n and_o board_n from_o norwey_n plough-stave_n and_o

wood_n be_v not_o order_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v but_o though_o wood_n be_v especial_o preserve_v for_o timber_n for_o building_n and_o ship_n yet_o at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v very_o rare_a to_o see_v a_o good_a timber-tree_n in_o a_o wood._n 3_o that_o many_o of_o our_o wood_n be_v very_o thin_a and_o not_o replenish_v with_o such_o sort_n of_o wood_n as_o be_v convenient_a for_o the_o place_n 4_o that_o we_o sell_v continual_o and_o never_o plant_v or_o take_v care_n for_o posterity_n these_o deficiency_n may_v be_v thus_o remedy_v 1_o to_o put_v in_o execution_n the_o statute_n against_o grub_v of_o wood_n which_o be_v sufficient_o severe_a it_o be_v well_o know_v we_o have_v good_a law_n but_o it_o be_v better_o know_v they_o be_v not_o execute_v in_o the_o wild_a of_o kent_n and_o sussex_n which_o lie_v far_o from_o the_o river_n and_o sea_n and_o former_o have_v be_v nothing_o but_o wood_n liberty_n be_v grant_v for_o man_n to_o grub_v what_o they_o please_v for_o they_o can_v want_v fire_v for_o themselves_o and_o they_o be_v so_o seat_v that_o neither_o firewood_n nor_o timber_n can_v be_v transport_v elsewhere_o i_o know_v a_o gentleman_n who_o proffer_v their_o good_a oak-timber_n at_o 6_o s_z 8_o d_o per_fw-mi tun_n and_o the_o land_n in_o those_o part_n in_o general_n be_v very_o good_a about_o tunbridge_n there_o be_v land_n which_o former_o be_v

part_n of_o the_o island_n it_o be_v otherwise_o and_o man_n be_v much_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o destroy_v both_o timber_n and_o fuel_n i_o have_v see_v at_o shooters-hill_n near_o london_n some_o wood_n stub_a up_o which_o be_v good_a ground_n for_o wood_n but_o now_o be_v nothing_o but_o furze_n which_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n both_o to_o the_o owner_n and_o to_o the_o country_n for_o the_o land_n be_v make_v worse_o than_o it_o be_v former_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v land_n which_o be_v as_o natural_o ordain_v for_o wood_n viz._n mountainous_a craggy_a uneven_a land_n as_o small_a hill_n for_o the_o vine_n and_o olive_n plain_a land_n for_o corn_n and_o low_o moist_a land_n for_o pasture_n which_o land_n if_o they_o be_v stub_a do_v much_o prejudice_n the_o commonwealth_n 2_o that_o all_o wood_n shall_v have_v such_o a_o number_n of_o timber-tree_n per_fw-la acre_n according_a to_o the_o statute_n there_o be_v a_o good_a law_n for_o that_o purpose_n but_o man_n delude_v both_o themselves_o and_o the_o law_n that_o they_o every_o fell_v cut_v down_o the_o stander_n which_o they_o leave_v the_o foll_n before_o lest_o perchance_o they_o shall_v grow_v to_o be_v timber_n and_o leave_v 12_o small_a stander_n that_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o fulfil_v in_o some_o measure_n the_o statute_n but_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a fallacy_n and_o cause_v the_o statute_n to_o fail_v of_o its_o principal_a end_n which_o be_v to_o preserve_v timber_n 3_o the_o best_a remedy_n against_o thinness_n of_o wood_n be_v to_o plash_n they_o and_o spread_v they_o abroad_o and_o cover_v they_o partly_o in_o the_o ground_n as_o every_o countryman_n can_v direct_v by_o this_o mean_v the_o wood_n will_v soon_o grow_v rough_a and_o thick_a it_o be_v good_a husbandry_n likewise_o to_o fill_v
