of_o place_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v to_o set_v this_o sugar-work_n or_o ingenio_fw-la upon_o and_o it_o must_v be_v the_o brow_n of_o a_o small_a hill_n that_o have_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o eighty_o foot_n twelve_o foot_n descent_n viz._n from_o the_o grind_a place_n which_o be_v the_o high_a ground_n and_o stand_v upon_o a_o flat_a to_o the_o still_a house_n and_o that_o by_o these_o

to_o the_o still_a house_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o these_o descent_n be_v these_o the_o top_n of_o the_o cistern_n into_o which_o the_o first_o liquor_n run_v be_v and_o must_v be_v somewhat_o low_a than_o the_o pipe_n that_o convay_v it_o and_o that_o be_v a_o little_a under_o ground_n then_o the_o liquor_n which_o run_v from_o that_o cistern_n must_v vent_v itself_o at_o the_o bottom_n otherwise_o it_o can_v run_v all_o out_o and_o that_o cistern_n be_v two_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a deep_a and_o so_o run_v upon_o a_o little_a descent_n to_o the_o clarify_n copper_n which_o be_v a_o

the_o flower_n of_o the_o boil_a house_n must_v be_v below_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o mill_n house_n four_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a then_o admit_v the_o large_a copper_n be_v a_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a deep_a the_o bottom_n of_o the_o copper_n will_v be_v low_a than_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o boyling-house_n by_o a_o foot_n the_o bottom_n of_o the_o furnace_n must_v be_v three_o foot_n

when_o i_o first_o arrive_v upon_o the_o island_n it_o be_v in_o my_o purpose_n to_o observe_v their_o several_a manner_n of_o plant_v and_o husbandy_o there_o and_o because_o this_o plant_n be_v of_o

its_o own_o health_n and_o gallantry_n but_o the_o planter_n though_o they_o know_v this_o to_o be_v true_a yet_o by_o their_o manner_n of_o plant_v do_v not_o right_o pursue_v their_o own_o knowledge_n for_o their_o manner_n be_v to_o dig_v small_a hole_n at_o three_o foot_n distance_n or_o there_o about_o and_o put_v in_o the_o plant_n endwise_o with_o a_o little_a stoop_n so_o that_o

storm_n of_o wind_n and_o rain_n come_v and_o those_o rain_v there_o fall_v with_o much_o violence_n and_o weight_n the_o root_n be_v loosen_v and_o the_o cane_n lodge_v and_o so_o become_v rot_v and_o unfit_a for_o service_n in_o make_v good_a sugar_n and_o beside_o the_o root_n be_v far_o asunder_o weed_n grow_v up_o between_o and_o worse_o than_o all_o weed_n with_o 's_o which_o be_v of_o a_o strong_a growth_n than_o the_o cane_n and_o do_v much_o mischief_n where_o they_o be_v for_o they_o wind_n about_o they_o and_o pull_v they_o down_o to_o the_o ground_n as_o disdain_v to_o see_v a_o proud_a plant_n than_o themselves_o but_o experience_n teach_v we_o that_o this_o way_n of_o plant_v be_v most_o pernicious_a and_o therefore_o be_v resolve_v to_o try_v another_o which_o be_v without_o question_n the_o best_a and_o that_o be_v by_o dig_v a_o small_a trench_n of_o six-inche_n broad_a and_o as_o much_o deep_a in_o a_o straight_a line_n the_o whole_a length_n of_o the_o

and_o so_o continue_v they_o the_o whole_a length_n of_o the_o trench_n to_o the_o land_n end_n and_o cover_v they_o with_o the_o earth_n you_o lay_v by_o and_o at_o two_o foot_n distance_n another_o of_o the_o same_o and_o so_o a_o three_o and_o four_o till_o you_o have_v finish_v all_o the_o land_n you_o intend_v to_o plant_v at_o that_o time_n for_o you_o must_v not_o plant_v too_o much_o at_o
