i_o hope_v it_o will_v do_v good_a to_o the_o great_a increase_n of_o corn_n and_o the_o spade_n in_o the_o garden_n for_o root_n herb_n and_o flower_n necessary_a for_o household_n provision_n and_o i_o can_v have_v wish_v you_o the_o gentleman_n and_o author_n of_o the_o book_n call_v god_n speed_v the_o plough_n have_v take_v better_a counsel_n of_o some_o skilful_a husbandman_n before_o you_o have_v publish_v a_o book_n wherein_o you_o endeavour_n to_o correct_v and_o teach_v a_o art_n which_o you_o acknowledge_v be_v none_o of_o your_o profession_n &_o to_o have_v consider_v how_o easy_o for_o the_o most_o part_n our_o english_a nation_n be_v dissuade_v from_o good_a cause_n neither_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n or_o the_o honour_n and_o profit_n of_o their_o prince_n and_o

discover_v and_o that_o by_o experience_n and_o proof_n again_o you_o ought_v rather_o to_o have_v remember_v and_o well_o consider_v the_o lamentable_a case_n of_o the_o poor_a that_o live_v in_o

to_o give_v you_o a_o project_n what_o this_o will_v come_v unto_o some_o writer_n of_o our_o time_n account_v but_o nine_o thousand_o six_o hundred_o and_o two_o and_o fifty_o parish_n or_o
