with_o five_o mouth_n also_o they_o lose_v more_o fatness_n in_o one_o hot_a day_n than_o they_o gain_v in_o three_o cool_a day_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v upon_o and_o i_o dare_v

a_o tree_n fit_a for_o use_v therefore_o i_o advise_v all_o man_n to_o kill_v many_o bird_n with_o one_o boult_n for_o in_o the_o hedgerowe_v a_o tree_n spread_v fence_v shelter_v shadow_v and_o

therefore_o see_v that_o if_o timber_n tree_n shall_v be_v plant_v thick_a in_o form_n of_o a_o wood_n there_o will_v be_v more_o loss_n in_o the_o land_n before_o the_o tree_n come_v to_o

fall_v in_o the_o spring_n time_n and_o have_v not_o take_v that_o good_a effect_n which_o be_v hope_v for_o i_o will_v declare_v my_o experience_n therein_o by_o lay_v open_a the_o cause_n thereof_o more_o plain_o then_o ever_o i_o can_v find_v write_v in_o any_o book_n or_o discourse_v of_o by_o any_o man_n in_o all_o my_o travel_n and_o first_o i_o find_v the_o cause_n thereof_o to_o be_v double_a the_o one_o by_o frost_n in_o may_n the_o other_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o tree_n be_v replete_a with_o a_o more_o phlegmatic_a and_o waterish_a juice_n than_o be_v convenient_a to_o redress_v the_o first_o let_v there_o be_v make_v a_o earthen_a pot_n like_o a_o little_a still_o to_o be_v hang_v with_o a_o cord_n in_o every_o tree_n in_o frosty_a night_n half_o a_o peck_n of_o small_a coal_n which_o will_v cost_v but_o a_o halfpenny_n will_v give_v a_o air_n all_o night_n if_o the_o pot_n be_v cover_v with_o a_o tile_n and_o some_o wet_a hay_n be_v lay_v upon_o it_o and_o some_o year_n two_o or_o three_o night_n will_v be_v sufficient_a some_o year_n there_o will_v need_v none_o at_o all_o the_o way_n to_o know_v when_o it_o will_v freeze_v may_v be_v find_v by_o the_o weatherglass_n describe_v in_o the_o chapter_n of_o the_o sheep_n to_o redress_v the_o other_o inconvenience_n i_o must_v discourse_v a_o little_a more_o large_o of_o the_o cause_n first_o it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o those_o tree_n which_o be_v barren_a the_o former_a year_n do_v not_o so_o easy_o let_v their_o fruit_n fall_v with_o frost_n as_o the_o other_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o those_o tree_n get_v a_o more_o solid_a juice_n by_o their_o barrenness_n for_o the_o sun_n heat_n in_o the_o former_a year_n exhale_v and_o drive_v out_o the_o more_o phlegmatic_a juice_n and_o so_o leave_v the_o tree_n better_o furnish_v with_o more_o firm_a nutriment_n for_o the_o next_o year_n that_o be_v the_o principal_a component_n in_o all_o thing_n natural_a and_o be_v want_v no_o fruit_n prosper_v for_o as_o be_v declare_v in_o divers_a place_n of_o the_o book_n all_o fruit_n be_v compound_v of_o a_o double_a substance_n the_o one_o terrestrial_a and_o the_o other_o aethereal_a and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o want_n of_o the_o terrestrial_a part_n cause_v ill_a success_n now_o to_o help_v this_o evil_a it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o when_o a_o tree_n have_v be_v blow_v down_o with_o the_o wind_n and_o have_v be_v lift_v up_o again_o and_o cover_v with_o new_a earth_n that_o tree_n have_v be_v more_o fruitful_a by_o much_o then_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o while_o it_o stand_v firm_a without_o alter_v the_o earth_n it_o have_v suck_v all_o the_o solid_a juice_n which_o lie_v within_o its_o reach_n and_o can_v get_v no_o more_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o good_a sometime_o to_o change_v the_o earth_n about_o the_o principal_a root_n and_o if_o any_o root_n grow_v right_a downward_o into_o the_o barren_a earth_n then_o to_o cut_v they_o off_o so_o shall_v you_o have_v fruit_n in_o scarce_a year_n when_o other_o have_v none_o in_o such_o a_o year_n one_o bushel_n of_o fruit_n be_v worth_a a_o great_a number_n in_o other_o year_n when_o nature_n be_v so_o friendly_a as_o to_o prosper_v they_o every_o where_o whether_o industry_n be_v use_v or_o not_o chap._n four_o wherein_o be_v show_v how_o food_n and_o maintenance_n for_o the_o workman_n may_v be_v provide_v by_o the_o industry_n of_o the_o say_a workman_n as_o for_o maintenance_n for_o the_o workman_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o landlord_n shall_v be_v remiss_a in_o provide_v the_o same_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o money_n lay_v out_o upon_o the_o improove_v of_o their_o own_o land_n will_v yield_v a_o far_o great_a annual_a revenue_n than_o twice_o so_o much_o money_n lay_v out_o in_o the_o purchase_n of_o new_a land_n and_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o tenant_n at_o will_n tenant_n for_o term_n of_o life_n

other_o cattle_n be_v of_o cold_a and_o moist_a constitution_n which_o be_v evident_a in_o regard_n they_o can_v live_v without_o drink_v of_o water_n though_o when_o they_o see_v it_o they_o will_v sometime_o drink_v yet_o be_v it_o then_o but_o a_o fancy_n in_o regard_n it_o be_v well_o know_v they_o can_v live_v well_o without_o it_o and_o prosper_v as_o well_o as_o with_o it_o this_o show_v that_o their_o liver_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a of_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o can_v abide_v surplusage_n of_o moisture_n like_o other_o cattle_n and_o therefore_o in_o a_o moist_a summer_n they_o be_v trouble_v with_o this_o disease_n in_o the_o same_o ground_n where_o in_o a_o dry_a year_n they_o be_v not_o thereunto_o subject_a the_o reason_n be_v that_o in_o certain_a ground_n the_o quality_n of_o the_o grass_n be_v change_v with_o much_o moisture_n and_o abound_v with_o the_o laxative_a or_o rarify_n sort_n of_o fatness_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o dissolve_v their_o liver_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o liquor_n which_o shall_v moisten_v their_o body_n with_o good_a juice_n and_o through_o this_o dissolution_n nature_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v due_a separation_n of_o the_o nutrimentall_a part_n but_o suffer_v it_o to_o go_v to_o the_o part_n desire_v nourishment_n unseparate_v whereby_o their_o body_n be_v replete_a with_o noxious_a and_o waterish_a humour_n thereby_o cause_v death_n and_o destruction_n to_o the_o body_n thus_o distemper_v as_o for_o the_o cure_n it_o be_v difficult_a unless_o it_o be_v do_v betimes_o before_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o liver_n be_v too_o far_o out_o of_o frame_n the_o best_a way_n for_o their_o cure_n be_v to_o remove_v they_o to_o the_o salt_n marsh_n or_o to_o the_o dry_a forest_n who_o nutriment_n be_v astringent_a and_o fasten_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o incombustible_a and_o bind_a fatness_n there_o predominate_v but_o because_o this_o remedy_n be_v not_o every_o where_o to_o be_v have_v let_v we_o think_v of_o some_o universal_a remedy_n of_o which_o sort_n i_o know_v none_o but_o vigilant_a providence_n in_o due_a time_n to_o prevent_v it_o and_o where_o i_o have_v have_v a_o intent_n to_o water_n hay_n with_o salt_n water_n so_o long_o as_o the_o saltness_n will_v not_o cause_v they_o to_o forbear_v to_o eat_v it_o yet_o in_o regard_n i_o have_v not_o have_v opportunity_n to_o try_v the_o experiment_n full_o i_o will_v only_o commend_v it_o as_o a_o probable_a but_o not_o a_o approve_a medicine_n but_o to_o proceed_v to_o the_o prevention_n of_o this_o disease_n the_o best_a

hot_a and_o dry_a liver_n do_v escape_n through_o their_o strong_a constitution_n differ_v as_o man_n do_v one_o from_o another_o in_o nature_n but_o that_o this_o prevention_n may_v not_o seem_v frivolous_a let_v we_o philosophize_v a_o little_a about_o the_o nutriment_n and_o the_o thing_n nourish_v which_o nutriment_n though_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o change_v the_o form_n of_o the_o thing_n nourish_v yet_o it_o be_v able_a to_o change_v its_o constitution_n as_o may_v be_v feene_z by_o bird_n feed_v on_o juniper_n berry_n who_o flesh_n taste_v plain_o of_o the_o nutriment_n also_o bee_n in_o the_o forest_n yield_v a_o sort_n of_o honey_n far_o different_a from_o that_o in_o the_o plain_a country_n and_o to_o make_v it_o more_o plain_a sheep_n that_o feed_v upon_o such_o

dissolve_v their_o liver_n like_o the_o other_o therefore_o for_o a_o second_o remedy_n i_o will_v have_v all_o such_o hurtful_a ground_n enclose_v and_o keep_v for_o other_o cattle_n and_o in_o the_o
