there_o some_o of_o the_o most_o industrious_a man_n have_v get_v plant_n from_o fernambock_n a_o place_n in_o brasill_n and_o make_v trial_n of_o they_o at_o the_o barbados_n and_o find_v they_o to_o

we_o find_v many_o sugar-work_n set_v up_o and_o at_o work_n but_o yet_o the_o sugar_n they_o make_v be_v but_o bare_a muscavadoe_n and_o few_o of_o they_o merchantable_a commodity_n so_o moist_a and_o full_a of_o moloss_n and_o so_o ill_o cure_v as_o they_o be_v hardly_o worth_a the_o bring_n home_o for_o england_n but_o about_o the_o time_n i_o leave_v the_o island_n which_o be_v in_o 1650._o they_o be_v much_o better_v for_o than_o they_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o know_v when_o the_o cane_n be_v ripe_a which_o be_v not_o till_o they_o be_v fifteen_o month_n old_a and_o before_o they_o gather_v they_o at_o twelve_o which_o be_v a_o main_a disadvantage_n to_o the_o make_v good_a sugar_n for_o the_o liquor_n want_v of_o the_o sweetness_n it_o ought_v to_o have_v cause_v the_o

white_a such_o as_o you_o call_v lump_n sugar_n here_o in_o england_n but_o not_o so_o excellent_a as_o those_o they_o make_v in_o brasill_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o likelihood_n they_o can_v ever_o

can_v be_v in_o so_o small_a a_o island_n as_o that_o of_o barbadoes_n and_o now_o see_v this_o commodity_n sugar_n have_v get_v so_o much_o the_o start_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o those_o that_o be_v hold_v the_o staple_n commodity_n of_o the_o island_n and_o so_o much_o over-toped_a they_o as_o they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n slight_v and_o neglect_v and_o for_o that_o few_o in_o england_n know_v the_o trouble_n and_o care_n of_o make_v it_o i_o think_v it_o convenient_a in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o acquaint_v you_o as_o far_o as_o my_o memory_n will_v serve_v with_o the_o whole_a process_n of_o the_o work_n of_o sugar-making_a which_o be_v now_o grow_v the_o soul_n of_o trade_n in_o this_o island_n and_o leave_v to_o trouble_v you_o and_o myself_o with_o relate_v the_o

will_v admit_v of_o no_o great_a or_o far_a improvement_n but_o before_o i_o will_v begin_v with_o that_o i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v how_o much_o the_o land_n there_o have_v be_v advance_v in_o the_o profit_n since_o the_o work_n of_o sugar_n begin_v to_o the_o time_n of_o our_o land_n there_o which_o be_v not_o above_o five_o or_o six_o year_n for_o before_o the_o work_n begin_v this_o

half_a of_o the_o stock_n upon_o it_o be_v sell_v for_o seven_o thousand_o pound_n sterling_a and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o the_o land_n there_o which_o have_v be_v employ_v to_o that_o work_n have_v find_v the_o like_a improvement_n and_o i_o believe_v when_o the_o small_a plantation_n in_o poor_a man_n hand_n of_o ten_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o acre_n which_o be_v too_o small_a to_o lay_v to_o that_o work_n be_v buy_v up_o by_o great_a man_n and_o put_v together_o into_o plantation_n of_o five_o six_o or_o seven_o hundred_o acre_n that_o two_o three_o of_o the_o island_n will_v be_v fit_a for_o plantation_n of_o sugar_n which_o will_v make_v it_o one_o of_o the_o rich_a spot_n of_o earth_n under_o the_o sun_n and_o now_o since_o i_o have_v put_v myself_o upon_o this_o discovery_n i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o let_v you_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o plant_n the_o right_a way_n of_o plant_v it_o the_o manner_n of_o growth_n the_o time_n of_o grow_v to_o ripeness_n

of_o the_o skimming_n into_o the_o cistern_n in_o the_o still-house_n the_o manner_n of_o distil_v it_o which_o make_v the_o strong_a spirit_n that_o man_n can_v drink_v with_o the_o temper_n to_o

of_o place_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v to_o set_v this_o sugar-work_n or_o ingenio_fw-la upon_o and_o it_o must_v be_v the_o brow_n of_o a_o small_a hill_n that_o have_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o eighty_o foot_n twelve_o foot_n descent_n viz._n from_o the_o grind_a place_n which_o be_v the_o high_a ground_n and_o stand_v upon_o a_o flat_a to_o the_o still_a house_n and_o that_o by_o these_o

to_o the_o still_a house_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o these_o descent_n be_v these_o the_o top_n of_o the_o cistern_n into_o which_o the_o first_o liquor_n run_v be_v and_o must_v be_v somewhat_o low_a than_o the_o pipe_n that_o convay_v it_o and_o that_o be_v a_o little_a under_o ground_n then_o the_o liquor_n which_o run_v from_o that_o cistern_n must_v vent_v itself_o at_o the_o bottom_n otherwise_o it_o can_v run_v all_o out_o and_o that_o cistern_n be_v two_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a deep_a and_o so_o run_v upon_o a_o little_a descent_n to_o the_o clarify_n copper_n which_o be_v a_o

the_o flower_n of_o the_o boil_a house_n must_v be_v below_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o mill_n house_n four_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a then_o admit_v the_o large_a copper_n be_v a_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a deep_a the_o bottom_n of_o the_o copper_n will_v be_v low_a than_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o boyling-house_n by_o a_o foot_n the_o bottom_n of_o the_o furnace_n must_v be_v three_o foot_n
