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_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o tithe_n of_o wine_n in_o glocestershire_n be_v in_o

600_o year_n since_o but_o at_o length_n gascony_n come_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o english_a from_o whence_o come_v the_o most_o of_o the_o strong_a french_a wine_n call_v highc-country-wine_n and_o custom_n be_v small_a wine_n be_v import_v into_o england_n from_o thence_o better_a and_o cheap_a than_o we_o can_v make_v it_o and_o it_o be_v think_v convenient_a to_o discourage_v vineyard_n here_o that_o the_o great_a trade_n may_v be_v drive_v with_o gascon_a and_o many_o ship_n may_v find_v employment_n thereby_o some_o astrologer_n have_v conceit_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v grow_v old_a and_o therefore_o cold_a have_v cause_v the_o sun_n to_o descend_v many_o thousand_o mile_n low_a to_o warm_v and_o cherish_v it_o and_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 true_a indeed_o that_o the_o roman_a soldier_n who_o have_v alsatia_n give_v they_o to_o live_v in_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a and_o most_o southern_a place_n of_o germany_n mutine_v because_o they_o think_v it_o so_o cold_a that_o vine_n will_v not_o grow_v there_o &_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 lorain_n etc._n etc._n and_o germany_n and_o that_o they_o be_v creep_v down_o even_o to_o the_o latitude_n of_o england_n for_o the_o rhenish-wine_n grow_v within_o a_o degree_n of_o the_o west-southern_a place_n of_o this_o isle_n and_o paris_n be_v not_o two_o degree_n south_n of_o we_o yet_o vine_n grow_v threescore_o mile_n on_o this_o side_n paris_n as_o by_o beaumond_n beauvat_v etc._n etc._n by_o the_o way_n of_o picardy_n near_o 20_o league_n as_o also_o by_o the_o way_n of_o pontoyse_n through_o normandy_n at_o art_n 35_o league_n from_o paris_n and_o 5_o from_o diep_n 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 neat_a rhenish_n for_o lady_n and_o at_o table_n and_o true_o in_o my_o opinion_n though_o i_o have_v travel_v twice_o through_o france_n yet_o no_o wine_n please_v i_o like_o vin_fw-fr d'ache_n and_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 be_v very_o probable_a that_o if_o vine_n have_v step_v out_o of_o italy_n into_o alsatia_n from_o they_o to_o these_o place_n which_o be_v even_o as_o far_o north_n as_o england_n and_o yet_o the_o wine_n there_o be_v the_o most_o delicate_a that_o they_o be_v not_o limit_v and_o bind_v there_o for_o a_o hundred_o mile_n more_o or_o less_o cause_v little_a alteration_n in_o heat_n or_o cold_a and_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 moist_a and_o cold_a ricard_n yearly_o make_v 6_o or_o 8_o hogshead_n which_o be_v very_o much_o commend_v by_o divers_a who_o have_v taste_v it_o and_o he_o have_v keep_v some_o of_o it_o two_o year_n as_o he_o himself_o tell_v i_o tucker_n and_o have_v be_v very_o good_a other_o likewise_o in_o kent_n do_v the_o same_o and_o late_o in_o surrey_n a_o gentlewoman_n tell_v i_o that_o they_o have_v many_o grape_n which_o they_o can_v not_o well_o tell_v how_o to_o dispose_v of_o she_o to_o play_v the_o good_a housewife_n stamp_v they_o to_o make_v verjuice_n but_o two_o month_n after_o draw_v it_o forth_o they_o find_v it_o very_o fine_a brisk-wine_n clear_a like_o rockwater_n and_o in_o many_o other_o place_n such_o experiment_n have_v be_v make_v i_o therefore_o desire_v ingenious_a man_n to_o endeavour_v the_o raise_n of_o so_o necessary_a and_o pleasant_a a_o commodity_n especial_o when_o french-wine_n be_v so_o dear_a here_o and_o i_o suppose_v be_v likely_a to_o be_v dear_a i_o question_v not_o but_o they_o shall_v find_v good_a profit_n and_o pleasure_n in_o so_o do_v and_o that_o the_o state_n will_v give_v all_o encouragement_n to_o they_o and_o if_o the_o french_a wine_n pay_v excize_a and_o custom_n and_o the_o wine_n here_o be_v toll-free_a they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o afford_v they_o far_o cheap_a than_o the_o french_a can_v they_o and_o supply_v the_o whole_a isle_n if_o they_o proceed_v according_a to_o these_o rule_n 1._o to_o choose_v the_o best_a sort_n of_o grape_n which_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o this_o isle_n and_o though_o there_o be_v 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 which_o 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 it_o grow_v 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 jagged_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_v 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 the_o summer_n then_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 hardly_o 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

that_o they_o do_v make_v their_o ground_n fine_a and_o kill_v all_o sort_n of_o other_o grass_n and_o plant_n otherwise_o they_o be_v native_a english_a will_n by_o no_o mean_n give_v way_n to_o the_o french_a one_o especial_o in_o this_o moist_a climate_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v who_o with_o one_o plough_v sow_n this_o or_o other_o seed_n for_o the_o grass_n present_o grow_v up_o and_o choke_v they_o and_o so_o their_o negligence_n and_o ill_a husbandry_n discourage_v themselves_o and_o other_o 2._o let_v they_o not_o be_v too_o spare_v of_o their_o seed_n for_o the_o more_o they_o sow_v the_o close_o and_o thick_a they_o will_v grow_v and_o present_o full_o stock_n the_o ground_n that_o nothing_o else_o can_v grow_v and_o further_o the_o seed_n which_o

their_o growth_n 5._o the_o best_a way_n if_o man_n will_v be_v at_o the_o charge_n be_v to_o make_v their_o ground_n very_o fine_a as_o they_o do_v when_o they_o be_v to_o sow_v barley_n and_o

they_o make_v the_o range_v about_o a_o foot_n breadth_n one_o from_o another_o and_o they_o shall_v see_v their_o grass_n flourish_v as_o if_o they_o be_v green_a pease_n especial_o if_o they_o

they_o call_v la_fw-fr lucern_n which_o be_v not_o inferior_a but_o rather_o prefer_v before_o this_o saint_n foin_n for_o dry_a &_o barren_a ground_n which_o have_v be_v late_o bring_v thither_o

though_o not_o at_o the_o same_o distance_n but_o about_o a_o foot_n the_o range_v one_o from_o another_o be_v better_a than_o set_v for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o to_o set_v corn_n be_v a_o

save_v much_o corn_n in_o dear_a year_n and_o for_o other_o reason_n before_o mention_v yea_o it_o be_v not_o more_o chargeable_a for_o a_o gardener_n will_v how_o in_o a_o acre_n for_o 5_o s._n and_o

one_o tell_v i_o for_o a_o secret_a a_o composition_n for_o to_o make_v tree_n bear_v much_o and_o excellent_a fruit_n which_o be_v this_o first_o in_o a_o old_a tree_n to_o split_v his_o root_n

shall_v judge_n when_o they_o leave_v it_o as_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o flaunders_n wood_n i_o have_v likewise_o observe_v some_o deficiency_n in_o wood_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o declare_v with_o the_o best_a way_n to_o remedy_v 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 and_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 coal_n from_o newcastle_n and_o board_n from_o norwey_n clap-board_n barrel-stave_n wainscot_n and_o pipe-stave_n from_o prussia_n we_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o great_a extremity_n and_o many_o mechanic_n will_v be_v necessitate_v to_o leave_v their_o calling_n 2._o deficiency_n be_v that_o our_o wood_n be_v not_o order_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v but_o though_o wood_n shall_v be_v especial_o preserve_v for_o timber_n for_o building_n and_o ship_v 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

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 felling_n cut_v down_o the_o stander_n which_o they_o leave_v the_o fell_n before_o lest_o perchance_o they_o shall_v grow_v to_o be_v timber_n and_o leave_v twelve_o small_a standard_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
