so_o they_o will_v observe_v the_o contract_n to_o make_v the_o earl_n proportion_n part_n of_o every_o fen_n and_o the_o whole_a lie_n in_o a_o straight_a tract_n according_a to_o contract_n that_o the_o drain_v may_v not_o be_v crooked_a which_o will_v not_o then_o do_v the_o work_n of_o drain_n if_o they_o shall_v refuse_v this_o exchange_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o ear●es_n land_n be_v not_o the_o best_a of_o the_o fen_n and_o the_o country_n not_o injure_v the_o truth_n be_v all_o judicious_a man_n of_o those_o part_n do_v know_v the_o commoner_n will_v as_o soon_o eat_v their_o

beside_o lie_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o the_o fen_n far_a from_o all_o their_o town_n and_o so_o leave_v all_o their_o commons_o as_o most_o commodious_a for_o they_o next_o unto_o their_o house_n which_o do_v avoid_v all_o trespass_n that_o must_v daily_o happen_v if_o their_o commons_o and_o the_o earl_n several_n be_v intermingle_v it_o will_v appear_v upon_o the_o map_n that_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v lay_v out_o the_o earl_n land_n more_o advantageous_o for_o the_o country_n then_o now_o it_o be_v again_o i_o say_v themselves_o now_o a_o exchange_n be_v offer_v dare_v not_o accept_v it_o 8._o object_n that_o the_o earl_n have_v not_o perform_v his_o contract_n by_o drain_n the_o say_a fen_n sufficient_o answ._n if_o this_o be_v true_a they_o may_v have_v lay_v by_o all_o their_o unnecessary_a clamour_n for_o the_o earl_n by_o his_o contract_n be_v to_o have_v no_o land_n unless_o he_o perform_v his_o work_n according_a to_o his_o contract_n to_o justify_v which_o the_o earl_n work_n be_v several_a day_n view_v by_o the_o commissioner_n themselves_o who_o rod_n with_o divers_a of_o the_o commoner_n in_o public_a from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o hear_v all_o objection_n can_v be_v make_v against_o the_o say_a work_n and_o after_o a_o due_a consideration_n they_o do_v judge_v the_o land_n drain_v and_o the_o work_n do_v according_a to_o the_o earl_n contract_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o judgement_n and_o decree_n of_o the_o commissioner_n shall_v be_v of_o force_n or_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o plaintiff_n in_o their_o own_o case_n but_o lest_o some_o man_n may_v think_v that_o commissioner_n may_v be_v perjure_v or_o mistake_v the_o drainer_n have_v clear_a argument_n to_o justify_v this_o judgement_n of_o the_o commissioner_n and_o to_o dash_v the_o scandal_n of_o their_o accuser_n 1._o that_o these_o fenne-land_n allot_v to_o the_o earl_n do_v bear_v cool_a seed_n rape_n seed_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o winter_n corn_n which_o can_v not_o be_v unless_o those_o land_n be_v sufficient_o drain_v 2._o the_o commons_o which_o belong_v unto_o the_o country_n by_o the_o earl_n contract_v ought_v to_o be_v make_v either_o meadow_n arable_a or_o pasture_n and_o according_o be_v as_o good_a pasture_n and_o as_o dry_a as_o commons_o can_v be_v and_o if_o they_o be_v enclose_v in_o several_n as_o the_o earl_n land_n be_v they_o will_v bear_v as_o good_a winter_n corn_n as_o his_o land_n do_v but_o it_o be_v their_o own_o work_n to_o enclose_v their_o commons_o and_o no_o part_n of_o the_o earl_n contract_n 3._o it_o have_v be_v prove_v at_o a_o committee_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o by_o sufficient_a witness_n on_o oath_n and_o also_o in_o the_o lord_n house_n at_o several_a hear_n that_o the_o say_a fen_n in_o general_n be_v communibus_fw-la annis_fw-la worth_n but_o twelve_o penny_n the_o acre_n before_o the_o drain_n and_o that_o now_o by_o the_o dr●ining_v they_o be_v so_o much_o improve_v that_o the_o earl_n do_v the_o offer_n the_o commoner_n at_o the_o lord_n bar_v to_o become_v t●●ant_a to_o all_o the_o common_a fen_n to_o they_o remain_v at_o t●n_fw-fr shilling_n the_o acre_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o to_o take_v a_o le●se_n for_o 100_o year_n give_v they_o security_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n for_o their_o rent_n which_o they_o refuse_v and_o by_o refuse_v show_v they_o value_v their_o fen_n to_o be_v more_o worth_a so_o that_o the_o common_a fen_n improve_v from_o one_o shilling_n to_o ten_o will_v prove_v to_o have_v need_v drain_n and_o to_o be_v sufficient_o drain_v 4._o the_o drainer_n have_v ever_o desire_v to_o have_v a_o committee_n send_v from_o the_o parliament_n to_o view_v their_o work_n and_o to_o judge_v if_o the_o earl_n have_v perform_v his_o contract_n and_o deserve_v his_o reward_n but_o the_o commoner_n have_v ever_o by_o their_o power_n hinder_v it_o it_o be_v now_o hope_v that_o judicious_a man_n will_v not_o harken_v unto_o their_o clamour_n and_o noise_n but_o look_v on_o they_o as_o ungrateful_a man_n
