pleasure_n i_o receive_v in_o your_o good_a company_n when_o angle_a at_o heaver_n and_o since_o in_o the_o company_n of_o capt._n comer_n and_o a_o other_o gentleman_n at_o winckhurst_n where_o in_o one_o day_n we_o catch_v about_o twenty_o brace_n of_o extraordinary_a large_a carp_n with_o very_a sweet_a eel_n and_o tench_n i_o believe_v i_o shall_v hardly_o forget_v the_o perch_n of_o eighteen_o inch_n long_o catch_v by_o capt._n comer_n nor_o the_o old_a gentleman_n resolution_n while_o we_o be_v drink_v a_o dram_n of_o the_o bottle_n a_o fish_n run_v away_o with_o his_o rod_n which_o he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o loose_v strip_v off_o his_o clothes_n and_o leap_v in_o and_o in_o swim_v prove_v too_o nimble_a for_o the_o fish_n for_o i_o assure_v you_o he_o bring_v they_o

of_o sweet_a or_o large_a carp_n for_o all_o we_o catch_v that_o do_v not_o exceed_v sixteen_o or_o eighteen_o inch_n we_o turn_v into_o the_o water_n again_o think_v it_o pity_v to_o kill_v they_o before_o they_o come_v to_o their_o full_a growth_n which_o common_o exceed_v twenty_o sir_n i_o know_v your_o love_n to_o fish_n and_o angle_a and_o how_o to_o your_o great_a cost_n you_o have_v cause_v to_o be_v dig_v a_o large_a square_a pond_n in_o your_o great_a yard_n before_o your_o dwell_a place_n at_o sundridg_n and_o store_v it_o with_o brave_a carp_n and_o other_o fish_n which_o pond_n contain_v in_o length_n three_o hundred_o foot_n and_o two_o hundred_o and_o ten_o foot_n in_o breadth_n all_o dug_n out_o of_o the_o side_n of_o a_o hill_n to_o the_o depth_n of_o fourteen_o

and_o then_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o pond_n a_o most_o delightful_a summer_n house_n to_o go_v to_o by_o boat_n twelve_o foot_n long_o and_o ten_o foot_n broad_a with_o a_o fountain_n in_o the_o middle_n where_o the_o water_n play_v in_o sundry_a figure_n beside_o the_o rail_n and_o balister_n that_o compass_v it_o round_o there_o be_v a_o platform_n of_o lead_n on_o the_o top_n with_o rail_n and_o balister_n to_o walk_v and_o angle_n upon_o but_o that_o which_o give_v the_o great_a grace_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v the_o summer_n house_n stand_v upon_o a_o fish_n house_n which_o beside_o the_o fish_n there_o keep_v be_v store_v all_o round_a with_o nest_n for_o duck_n where_o they_o breed_v in_o abundance_n and_o under_o the_o eve_n of_o the_o uppermost_a platform_n there_o be_v a_o ingenious_a contrivance_n for_o cove_n wherein_o the_o pigeon_n increase_v extraordinary_a it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n for_o a_o simon_n suckegg_n to_o rob_v either_o of_o their_o nest_n unless_o he_o will_v adventure_v at_o one_o time_n both_o drown_v and_o hang_v it_o be_v very_o pleasant_a walk_v round_o the_o pond_n where_o a_o man_n have_v six_o or_o seven_o foot_n of_o earth_n over_o his_o head_n on_o the_o one_o side_n for_o a_o shelter_n while_o the_o other_o side_n defend_v he_o from_o the_o water_n by_o a_o shade_n of_o osier_n i_o have_v also_o see_v your_o round_a fountain_n in_o your_o delightful_a best_a garden_n and_o the_o stock_n of_o fish_n therein_o keep_v to_o be_v always_o at_o hand_n to_o pleasure_v your_o friend_n which_o be_v continual_o store_v

above_o all_o i_o admire_v at_o your_o ingenuity_n in_o contrive_v that_o square_a pond_n on_o the_o top_n of_o your_o house_n which_o contain_v good_a carp_n and_o other_o fish_n and_o be_v a_o excellent_a divertisement_n when_o you_o be_v please_v to_o disport_v yourself_o and_o friend_n with_o your_o fine_a water_n work_v i_o admire_v once_o how_o the_o water_n ascend_v to_o that_o height_n to_o be_v always_o full_a of_o sweet_a and_o fresh_a water_n till_o you_o be_v please_v to_o show_v i_o how_o you_o perform_v it_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o engine_n if_o there_o be_v delight_n any_o where_o i_o think_v you_o have_v they_o all_o at_o home_n for_o a_o man_n to_o see_v fish_n swim_v on_o the_o top_n of_o your_o house_n and_o the_o fowl_n of_o heaven_n to_o live_v and_o breed_v under_o the_o water_n will_v be_v strange_a to_o those_o who_o faith_n be_v too_o weak_a to_o believe_v or_o capacity_n to_o understand_v your_o ingenuity_n how_o you_o have_v make_v cove_v for_o pigeon_n under_o the_o pond_n where_o they_o breed_v that_o a_o man_n may_v just_o say_v that_o only_o lead_v keep_v the_o two_o element_n asunder_o sir_n you_o know_v that_o what_o i_o
