by_o these_o mean_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v history_n and_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o that_o by_o this_o mean_n they_o may_v much_o advance_v their_o knowledge_n and_o be_v more_o profitable_a to_o the_o public_a their_o neighbour_n and_o also_o to_o themselves_o 17._o deficiency_n be_v the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o vegetable_n of_o this_o island_n use_v and_o their_o virtue_n and_o use_v and_o the_o first_o deficiency_n that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o ordinary_a seed_n which_o be_v common_o sow_v among_o we_o for_o usual_o the_o countryman_n content_v

on_o the_o same_o stalk_n red_a stalk_n wheat_n of_o buckinghamshire_n winter_n wheat_n summer_n wheat_n which_o be_v sow_v abundant_o in_o new-england_n in_o april_n and_o may_n and_o reap_v

the_o ancient_n but_o now_o unknown_a not_o only_o to_o the_o countryman_n but_o even_o to_o the_o learnede_a botanic_n so_o i_o may_v say_v that_o the_o ordinary_a yeoman_n be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o diversity_n of_o barley_n for_o there_o be_v not_o only_o the_o ordinary_a barley_n but_o also_o big_a sprat-bar_o which_o have_v late_o be_v sow_v in_o kent_n with_o good_a profit_n also_o

divers_a sort_n of_o tare_n of_o hemp_n and_o flax_n altogether_o unknown_a to_o most_o countryman_n but_o i_o hope_v that_o hereafter_o rhey_n will_v be_v more_o inquisitive_a after_o they_o for_o divers_a of_o they_o may_v be_v of_o good_a use_n on_o their_o land_n 2._o defficiency_n in_o this_o kind_n be_v that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o plant_n and_o grass_n which_o natural_o grow_v

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

walnut_n which_o be_v gather_v in_o september_n 3_o their_o summer-graine_n as_o millet_n panicle_n chiche_n vetch_n etc._n etc._n buck-wheat_n frumentone_n or_o that_o which_o we_o call_v virginia-wheat_n turnip_n which_o they_o sow_v in_o july_n when_o their_o winter-corne_n be_v cut_v and_o reap_v they_o reap_v in_o october_n in_o france_n their_o vine_n grow_v th●●e_a manner_n 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 and_o a_o half_a deep_a which_o be_v a_o good_a way_n and_o very_o much_o to_o be_v commend_v but_o if_o we_o here_o in_o england_n plant_v vine_n as_o we_o do_v hop_n it_o will_v do_v very_o well_o but_o let_v they_o not_o be_v pack_v together_o too_o thick_a as_o they_o do_v in_o france_n in_o many_o place_n lest_o they_o too_o much_o shade_v the_o ground_n and_o one_o another_o in_o italy_n when_o they_o tread_v their_o grape_n with_o their_o foot_n in_o a_o cart_n they_o pour_v the_o juice_n into_o a_o great_a vessel_n or_o fat_a and_o put_v to_o it_o all_o their_o husk_n and_o stone_n which_o they_o call_v grasp_v and_o let_v they_o ferment_n or_o as_o we_o say_v work_v together_o 12_o or_o 14_o day_n and_o usual_o they_o put_v one_o three_o of_o water_n to_o it_o this_o make_v a_o wine_n less_o furious_a garbo_n or_o rough_a and_o therefore_o a_o good_a stomach_n wine_n but_o it_o spoil_v the_o colour_n and_o take_v away_o the_o pleasant_a brisk_a taste_n in_o france_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v press_v out_o their_o liquor_n with_o their_o foot_n they_o put_v it_o in_o hogshead_n and_o after_o in_o their_o press_n squeeze_v out_o what_o they_o can_v out_o of_o the_o grasp_n which_o serve_v to_o fill_v up_o their_o hogshead_n while_o they_o work_v which_o be_v usual_o three_o or_o four_o day_n and_o then_o stop_v they_o close_o this_o be_v also_o the_o way_n use_v in_o germany_n and_o be_v the_o best_a for_o it_o make_v a_o fine_a gentile_a wine_n with_o a_o curious_a colour_n in_o germany_n when_o their_o grape_n be_v green_a they_o make_v fire_n in_o their_o sellar_n in_o stove_n by_o the_o which_o mean_n their_o wine_n work_v extraordinary_o and_o do_v digest_v themselves_o the_o better_a this_o course_n we_o must_v also_o take_v here_o in_o england_n some_o year_n for_o it_o help_v the_o rawness_n of_o all_o liquor_n very_o much_o there_o be_v a_o ingenious_a dutchman_n who_o have_v a_o secret_a which_o as_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o reveal_v how_o

further_o in_o the_o evaporation_n of_o liquor_n which_o have_v not_o ferment_v or_o wrought_v the_o watery_a part_n go_v away_o first_o 3_o fermentation_n give_v a_o vinous_a taste_n and_o make_v a_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

peculiar_a propriety_n to_o every_o kind_n of_o earth_n to_o produce_v some_o peculiar_a kind_n of_o plant_n which_o it_o will_v observe_v even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n unless_o by_o dung_n marle_n chalk_n you_o alter_v even_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o gallitia_n in_o spain_n where_o such_o barren_a land_n do_v very_o much_o abound_v they_o do_v thus_o first_o they_o grub_n they_o up_o as_o clean_a as_o they_o can_v of_o the_o great_a root_n and_o branch_n they_o make_v firewood_n the_o small_a stick_n be_v either_o employ_v in_o fence_v or_o else_o be_v burn_v on_o

to_o a_o compact_n then_o the_o ground_n rest_v and_o in_o 3_o or_o 4_o year_n the_o furze_n or_o broom_n will_v recover_v their_o former_a growth_n which_o the_o painful_a husbandman_n grub_v and_o

improvement_n and_o be_v as_o i_o suppose_v badge_n of_o our_o norman_a slavery_n to_o conclude_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o very_o reasonable_a and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n to_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 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 mechanickes_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 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 wood_n be_v now_o let_v for_o 30_o s_o per_fw-la be_v so_o that_o to_o keep_v such_o land_n for_o wood_n will_v be_v both_o loss_n to_o the_o owner_n and_o to_o the_o island_n but_o in_o other_o 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 your_o wood_n with_o swift_a grower_n as_o ash_n sallow_a willow_n asp_n which_o be_v also_o good_a for_o hop-pole_n hoop_n sycamore_n be_v also_o a_o swift_a grower_n in_o flaunders_n they_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o salix_fw-la call_v by_o they_o abell-tree_n which_o speedliy_v grow_v to_o be_v timber_n 4_o that_o some_o law_n be_v make_v that_o they_o which_o fall_v shall_v also_o plant_v or_o sow_v in_o biscay_n there_o be_v a_o law_n if_o that_o any_o cut_v down_o a_o timber-tree_n he_o must_v plant_v three_o for_o it_o which_o law_n be_v put_v into_o execution_n with_o severity_n otherwise_o they_o will_v soon_o be_v undo_v for_o the_o country_n be_v very_o mountainous_a and_o barren_a and_o depend_v whole_o on_o iron_n mine_n and_o on_o ship_n their_o wood_n be_v not_o copse_v there_o but_o only_o pollard_n which_o they_o lop_v when_o occasion_n serve_v i_o know_v one_o who_o be_v bind_v by_o his_o landlord_n to_o plant_v so_o many_o tree_n yearly_a which_o according_a he_o do_v but_o always_o in_o such_o place_n that_o they_o may_v not_o grow_v in_o france_n near_o to_o the_o border_n of_o spain_n they_o sow_v ashkey_n which_o when_o they_o grow_v to_o such_o a_o greatness_n that_o they_o may_v be_v slit_v into_o four_o quarter_n and_o big_a enough_o to_o make_v pike_n than_o they_o cut_v they_o down_o and_o i_o have_v see_v divers_a acre_n
