as_o common_o with_o good_a husbandry_n use_v such_o rich_a land_n but_o i_o speak_v and_o write_v for_o poor_a man_n and_o desire_v to_o make_v their_o poor_a land_n and_o they_o the_o rich_a by_o this_o good_a husbandry_n which_o i_o will_v maintain_v upon_o equal_a term_n or_o by_o practice_n with_o any_o husbandman_n in_o england_n of_o what_o country_n or_o shire_n so_o ever_o he_o be_v

the_o rod_n will_v bear_v but_o two_o quarter_n common_o one_o year_n with_o another_o which_o be_v but_o threescore_o quarter_n for_o thirty_o acre_n and_o that_o such_o a_o acre_n will_v require_v three_o bushel_n to_o sow_v it_o which_o be_v for_o thirty_o acre_n eleven_o quarter_n and_o two_o bushel_n of_o seed_n as_o aforesaid_a so_o then_o take_v your_o eleven_o quarter_n two_o bushel_n of_o seed_n sow_v at_o seed_n time_n out_o of_o threescore_o quarter_n reap_v at_o harvest_n there_o will_v remain_v forty_o eight_o quarter_n and_o six_o bushel_n increase_v by_o this_o computation_n then_o come_v to_o our_o ten_o acre_n of_o like_a measure_n which_o will_v be_v set_v with_o five_o bushel_n what_o may_v we_o look_v for_o every_o year_n upon_o a_o acre_n set_v with_o half_a a_o bushel_n by_o god_n blessing_n we_o be_v as_o likely_a to_o have_v six_o or_o seven_o quarter_n upon_o a_o acre_n that_o be_v well_o dung_v till_v the_o seed_n choiselie_o pick_v and_o the_o land_n orderly_o set_v as_o other_o have_v have_v upon_o a_o acre_n sow_v which_o be_v upon_o ten_o acre_n threescore_o and_o ten_o quarter_n and_o what_o be_v then_o our_o increase_n of_o these_o ten_o

nine_o quarter_n and_o three_o bushel_n increase_v so_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o our_o increase_n by_o set_v of_o ten_o acre_n with_o five_o bushel_n be_v more_o than_o by_o sow_v of_o thirty_o
