their_o body_n by_o degree_n if_o not_o present_o as_o several_a have_v be_v but_o by_o degree_n i_o have_v know_v many_o both_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v shorten_v their_o life_n many_o year_n by_o drink_v so_o much_o of_o such_o fiery_a drink_n to_o dry_v up_o their_o very_a liver_n or_o lung_n and_o neither_o fear_n of_o death_n or_o any_o wisdom_n sense_n or_o reason_n can_v take_v off_o mankind_n from_o what_o their_o lust_n and_o appetite_n be_v set_v upon_o and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o open_a trade_n to_o france_n if_o we_o shall_v but_o send_v a_o million_o a_o year_n of_o our_o large_a money_n for_o their_o brandy_n and_o wine_n it_o will_v be_v the_o way_n to_o beggar_n we_o in_o a_o very_a few_o year_n therefore_o if_o we_o must_v have_v so_o much_o brandy_n in_o england_n i_o will_v humble_o propose_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o law_n make_v to_o have_v our_o hedge_n row_v in_o every_o field_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n oblige_v in_o seven_o or_o eight_o year_n time_n to_o have_v a_o appletree_n in_o every_o thirty_o foot_n of_o hedge_n and_o there_o may_v be_v several_a million_o of_o appletree_n plant_v in_o eight_o year_n time_n the_o kernel_n of_o

as_o i_o say_v plant_v in_o the_o hedg-row_n need_v not_o take_v up_o a_o acre_n of_o land_n for_o 40_o million_o of_o tree_n and_o if_o the_o tree_n come_v to_o bear_v will_v preserve_v our_o corn_n from_o be_v burn_v up_o i_o mean_v into_o brandy_n and_o it_o be_v our_o english_a cider_n will_v make_v almost_o as_o good_a brandy_n as_o the_o french_a and_o if_o this_o plantation_n be_v but_o establish_v it_o will_v pay_v its_o own_o charge_n of_o the_o plant_v ten_o time_n over_o quick_o and_o if_o it_o be_v once_o take_v up_o it_o will_v never_o be_v lay_v down_o again_o for_o apple_n be_v for_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o several_a poor_a family_n in_o the_o country_n and_o at_o last_o the_o very_a wood_n of_o the_o tree_n if_o forty_o year_n old_a will_v be_v worth_a for_o fire_v when_o they_o have_v do_v bear_v fruit_n five_o time_n the_o charge_n of_o plant_v and_o as_o i_o say_v we_o need_v not_o lose_v a_o acre_n of_o land_n and_o if_o any_o will_v propose_v the_o plant_v of_o oak_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n one_o in_o every_o 30_o foot_n of_o hedge-row_n acorn_n be_v cheap_a enough_o and_o if_o every_o twenty_o foot_n have_v a_o appletree_n and_o every_o twenty_o
