heart_n with_o their_o poor_a cattle_n and_o themselves_o i_o shall_v not_o only_o think_v my_o labour_n happy_o bestow_v in_o writing_n but_o all_o the_o poor_a people_n may_v thank_v god_n as_o

commonwealth_n of_o this_o land_n but_o yet_o i_o must_v not_o yield_v that_o plow_a and_o sow_v will_v be_v of_o like_a profit_n for_o the_o commonwealth_n as_o plough_v and_o set_v see_v the_o same_o will_v be_v do_v yet_o with_o much_o less_o charge_n compare_v ten_o acre_n of_o the_o best_a land_n set_v with_o other_o ten_o as_o good_a sow_v which_o i_o will_v prove_v by_o example_n and_o

bushel_n will_v sow_v so_o that_o whereas_o ten_o or_o twelve_o great_a acre_n of_o land_n will_v require_v some_o three_o or_o four_o quarter_n to_o sow_v they_o the_o same_o land_n may_v be_v set_v with_o six_o or_o seven_o bushel_n at_o the_o most_o for_o there_o will_v be_v fave_v some_o three_o quarter_n of_o the_o best_a seed_n corn_n every_o year_n which_o be_v now_o worth_a forty_o shilling_n a_o quarter_n and_o come_v to_o six_o pound_n and_o exceed_v the_o extraordinary_a charge_n of_o set_v aforesaid_a by_o much_o answer_v five_o or_o six_o thousand_o quarter_n of_o grain_n save_v every_o year_n by_o corn_n set_v all_o objection_n answer_v and_o will_v amount_v to_o the_o save_n of_o some_o three_o hundred_o thousand_o quarter_n of_o the_o best_a wheat_n and_o rye_n grow_v in_o this_o land_n and_o much_o more_o in_o barley_n pease_n and_o bean_n and_o so_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o grain_n i_o think_v it_o will_v save_v above_o five_o or_o six_o hundred_o thousand_o

experience_n do_v prove_v that_o a_o acre_n orderly_o set_v will_v yield_v more_o increase_n by_o some_o three_o quarter_n than_o a_o acre_n sow_v which_o increase_n at_o harvest_n be_v add_v to_o the_o other_o three_o quarter_n save_v at_o seed_n time_n come_v to_o some_o six_o quarter_n of_o corn_n at_o forty_o shilling_n a_o quarter_n twelve_o pound_n as_o it_o be_v now_o worth_a in_o many_o country_n which_o will_v defray_v the_o charge_n of_o set_v double_a though_o your_o plowman_n follow_v their_o teem_v &_o give_v we_o no_o help_n and_o yet_o this_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o in_o
