expedition_n to_o make_v this_o take_v a_o piece_n of_o tough_a willow_n timber_n about_o the_o bigness_n of_o a_o spade_n stale_a somewhat_o straight_o only_o at_o the_o nether_a end_n it_o must_v

prove_v excellent_a hemp_n and_o oad-land_n produce_v great_a crop_n of_o cole_n and_o rape-seed_n which_o will_v indeed_o grow_v on_o worse_a land_n so_o that_o by_o a_o little_a marling_n liming_n

this_o i_o count_v worse_o than_o the_o former_a and_o be_v proper_a to_o be_v plough_v up_o raise_v it_o as_o high_a as_o your_o drain_v will_n carry_v off_o the_o water_n in_o the_o land_n 3_o
