demonstrate_v her_o kippar_n now_o i_o come_v to_o nominate_v some_o eminent_a river_n in_o england_n that_o accommodate_v the_o angler_n with_o the_o race_n of_o salmon_n first_o therefore_o i_o prefer_v the_o river_n trent_n because_o of_o her_o rapid_a and_o oriental_a stream_n that_o never_o sully_v themselves_o till_o arrive_v near_o to_o the_o shore_n of_o gainsborough_n where_o trent_n oft_o wash_v her_o bank_n with_o the_o eager_a so_o glide_v immediate_o into_o the_o arm_n of_o humber_n next_o unto_o trent_n we_o present_v you_o with_o the_o translucid_a glitter_a stream_n of_o

into_o trent-fall_a but_o of_o all_o river_n that_o glide_v through_o the_o cultivated_a field_n in_o england_n the_o bountiful_a beautiful_a and_o most_o illustrious_a thames_n have_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o the_o rest_n because_o her_o stream_n influence_n not_o england_n only_o but_o all_o the_o bank_n and_o shore_n in_o europe_n and_o be_v without_o precedent_n because_o of_o the_o

themselves_o on_o the_o southside_n of_o monmouth_n but_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o mention_v these_o two_o eminent_a river_n be_v only_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o various_a entertainment_n by_o reason_n the_o salmon_n there_o be_v always_o in_o season_n for_o the_o one_o supply_n the_o defect_n of_o the_o other_o as_o thus_o for_o example_n if_o when_o to_o consider_v wye_n flourish_v with_o

any_o thing_n think_v of_o by_o this_o contrariety_n and_o diversity_n of_o nature_n the_o native_n may_v conclude_v that_o winter_n and_o summer_n give_v not_o only_o the_o season_n to_o salmon_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o have_v law_n from_o the_o stream_n they_o glide_v in_o or_o wales_n differ_v from_o all_o the_o world_n the_o next_o thing_n that_o fall_v under_o the_o angler_n consideration_n be_v the_o bait_n or_o charm_n for_o the_o royal_a race_n of_o salmon_n which_o i_o reduce_v under_o the_o classis_fw-la of_o two_o general_n viz._n the_o fly_n for_o frolic_a to_o

central_a way_n that_o in_o my_o opinion_n upon_o approve_a practice_n will_v entice_v he_o ashore_o in_o mid-water_n now_o if_o the_o angler_n design_n that_o for_o his_o exercise_n in_o such_o
