i_o have_v hear_v of_o now_o hitherto_o do_v demonstrate_v to_o god_n and_o the_o world_n their_o ignoble_a nature_n and_o their_o bestial_a swinish_a and_o viperous_a disposition_n chap._n ii_o wherein_o be_v plain_o show_v how_o workman_n may_v be_v provide_v for_o the_o accomplish_n of_o the_o enterprise_n as_o for_o workman_n for_o this_o business_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o all_o work_v poor_a will_v be_v ready_a upon_o the_o first_o summons_n to_o come_v to_o work_v if_o so_o be_v they_o may_v receive_v maintenance_n for_o the_o same_o which_o now_o they_o want_v extreme_o which_o i_o will_v advise_v all_o landlord_n to_o disburse_v in_o regard_n that_o they_o shall_v receive_v a_o improvement_n in_o their_o rent_n of_o far_o more_o value_n than_o the_o money_n disburse_v will_v yield_v by_o purchase_n of_o new_a land_n yet_o in_o regard_n that_o these_o be_v not_o sufficient_a i_o can_v wish_v that_o many_o other_o may_v be_v employ_v which_o may_v best_o be_v spare_v in_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o which_o sort_n be_v liar_n shifter_n and_o deceiver_n of_o other_o and_o which_o do_v now_o eat_v the_o bread_n of_o other_o man_n labour_n by_o their_o subtlety_n but_o in_o regard_n we_o be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o body_n for_o labour_n therefore_o their_o conquest_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v accomplish_v by_o stratagem_n which_o be_v a_o difficult_a work_n to_o deceive_v the_o deceiver_n i_o have_v study_v much_o to_o find_v out_o a_o invention_n how_o to_o effect_v this_o enterprise_n and_o find_v that_o as_o receiver_n make_v thief_n so_o temerarious_a believer_n make_v liar_n and_o to_o redress_v this_o mischief_n i_o have_v sometime_o think_v it_o the_o best_a way_n to_o believe_v no_o man_n whereupon_o this_o inavoidable_a inconvenience_n follow_v that_o many_o time_n we_o shall_v reject_v the_o truth_n as_o well_o as_o lie_v and_o deceit_n for_o i_o find_v that_o truth_n speak_v plain_o do_v echo_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o hearer_n say_v the_o same_o thing_n over_o again_o but_o this_o be_v the_o mischief_n that_o so_o few_o hearer_n have_v understanding_n to_o judge_v which_o be_v true_a and_o which_o be_v false_a for_o where_o the_o hearer_n want_v ability_n to_o judge_v there_o lie_v and_o deceit_n make_v the_o same_o echo_n which_o truth_n do_v in_o the_o former_a so_o while_o these_o person_n can_v find_v any_o shallow_a brain_a believer_n there_o be_v small_a hope_n that_o we_o shall_v win_v they_o to_o be_v labourer_n in_o our_o new_a husbandry_n therefore_o among_o all_o stratagem_n to_o win_v the_o field_n of_o they_o i_o find_v none_o like_o unto_o my_o first_o invention_n contain_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n viz._n to_o bow_v the_o knee_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o usual_a bow_v of_o the_o knee_n of_o the_o body_n and_o withal_o to_o be_v humble_a petitioner_n to_o the_o donor_n of_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n to_o send_v the_o light_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n into_o the_o world_n plentiful_o then_o do_v these_o person_n become_v suitor_n to_o be_v admit_v to_o be_v workman_n in_o our_o new_a husbandry_n be_v defeat_v in_o their_o former_a trade_n so_o shall_v we_o have_v workman_n enough_o to_o accomplish_v our_o enterprise_n for_o the_o present_a time_n and_o as_o for_o the_o future_a there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o exquisite_a proceed_n that_o it_o will_v be_v as_o difficult_a a_o thing_n to_o discern_v whether_o the_o people_n increase_v cause_n the_o fertility_n to_o increase_v or_o whether_o the_o fertility_n increase_v cause_n the_o people_n to_o increase_v as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o philosopher_n to_o find_v out_o by_o argumentation_n whether_o the_o egg_n or_o the_o bird_n be_v first_o for_o the_o numerous_a increase_n of_o people_n diminish_v not_o their_o maintenance_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v all_o industrious_a no_o more_o than_o twenty_o hive_n of_o bee_n be_v impoverish_v more_o than_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o in_o the_o same_o garden_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v all_o industrious_a and_o suffer_v no_o drone_n to_o live_v among_o they_o but_o because_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n some_o shall_v reap_v benefit_n by_o avoid_v these_o deceiver_n i_o will_v show_v a_o political_a invention_n how_o to_o find_v out_o their_o knavery_n which_o be_v thus_o make_v manifest_a even_o as_o he_o that_o have_v good_a gold_n to_o sell_v will_v go_v to_o the_o most_o expert_a goldsmithsr_n efiner_n or_o say_v master_n and_o will_v by_o that_o mean_n get_v the_o best_a price_n but_o contrariwise_o he_o that_o have_v counterfeit_a mettle_n will_v go_v to_o those_o which_o be_v more_o ignorant_a fear_v the_o great_a and_o there_o make_v their_o market_n even_o so_o he_o that_o have_v a_o good_a project_n and_o truth_n on_o his_o side_n will_v go_v with_o it_o to_o the_o most_o able_a man_n of_o judgement_n wherer_n the_o deceiver_n will_v go_v to_o those_o of_o the_o weak_a judgement_n there_o by_o win_a facility_n to_o deceive_v therefore_o the_o safe_a way_n be_v for_o every_o man_n to_o doubt_v his_o own_o judgement_n and_o not_o to_o be_v too_o rash_a in_o give_v credence_n till_o the_o great_a experience_n have_v determine_v the_o doubt_n chap._n iii_o wherein_o be_v manifest_o show_v how_o tool_n and_o instrument_n may_v be_v provide_v the_o most_o commodious_a way_n for_o the_o work_n as_o for_o tool_n and_o instrument_n though_o they_o be_v make_v of_o two_o material_n chief_o to_o wit_n wood_n and_o iron_n yet_o be_v wood_n the_o chief_a thing_n to_o be_v provide_v for_o in_o regard_n that_o without_o it_o no_o iron_n can_v be_v provide_v for_o i_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o all_o attempt_n to_o make_v iron_n with_o sea-coal_n or_o other_o coal_n be_v vanity_n for_o though_o it_o may_v be_v melt_v that_o way_n yet_o the_o good_a metallicall_a quality_n of_o the_o iron_n be_v destroy_v or_o at_o least_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o for_o i_o find_v by_o experience_n a_o arsenicall_a or_o antimonial_a quality_n in_o all_o subterraneal_a substance_n combustible_a both_o which_o be_v poison_n to_o iron_n now_o the_o multitude_n of_o timber_n bring_v yearly_a from_o norway_n and_o other_o part_n do_v plain_o demonstrate_v the_o scarcity_n thereof_o here_o also_o it_o may_v be_v conjecture_v what_o a_o miserable_a case_n the_o kingdom_n will_v be_v plunge_v into_o about_o a_o age_n or_o two_o hence_o for_o want_v of_o timber_n there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o spain_n that_o he_o that_o cut_v down_o a_o tree_n shall_v plant_v three_o young_a one_o for_o it_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n there_o be_v build_v in_o two_o province_n both_o not_o so_o great_a as_o yorkshire_n twenty_o ship_n yearly_a and_o yet_o the_o wood_n increase_v if_o this_o law_n be_v observe_v here_o how_o happy_a will_v it_o be_v for_o the_o posterity_n the_o charge_n be_v little_a there_o be_v nothing_o want_v but_o one_o of_o my_o first_o invention_n to_o wit_n love_v manifest_v by_o work_v for_o the_o general_a good_a not_o only_o of_o all_o that_o be_v now_o alive_a but_o also_o of_o those_o that_o shall_v come_v after_o and_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o landlord_n shall_v not_o contract_v with_o their_o tenant_n to_o put_v this_o work_n in_o practice_n diligent_o for_o than_o their_o rent_n will_v be_v more_o and_o more_o improve_v every_o year_n and_o if_o this_o be_v omit_v their_o rent_n will_v be_v diminish_v in_o future_a time_n now_o for_o the_o improvement_n of_o this_o work_n i_o will_v have_v all_o timber_n tree_n plant_v in_o hedge-rowe_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v no_o ground_n will_v be_v lose_v but_o all_o wood_n and_o thorny_a ground_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o fruitful_a field_n and_o pasture_n and_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v make_v fertile_a by_o my_o new_a invention_n beside_o the_o plant_n of_o the_o timber_n tree_n in_o hedgerowe_n bring_v a_o double_a commodity_n for_o they_o be_v not_o only_o a_o help_n to_o divide_v the_o land_n of_o industrious_a person_n from_o the_o land_n of_o the_o idle_a that_o every_o one_o may_v enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o own_o labour_n but_o also_o they_o will_v be_v notable_a shelter_n for_o the_o cattle_n in_o winter_n to_o preserve_v they_o from_o cold_a storm_n and_o no_o less_o commodious_a to_o keep_v they_o from_o the_o heat_n of_o summer_n and_o if_o any_o one_o shall_v object_v against_o the_o multitude_n of_o ground_n lose_v by_o hedgerowe_n let_v he_o remember_v himself_o that_o every_o hedge_n gain_v ten_o time_n his_o proportion_n of_o land_n for_o that_o the_o cattle_n in_o hot_a weather_n be_v thereby_o shroud_v which_o else_o will_v destroy_v more_o with_o their_o foot_n than_o they_o eat_v with_o their_o mouth_n by_o their_o gad_v and_o run_v up_o and_o down_o whereby_o that_o every_o beast_n eat_v
