and_o for_o tree_n or_o plant_n that_o shoot_v much_o in_o a_o year_n for_o it_o yield_v a_o great_a fume_v and_o such_o plant_n can_v well_o dispose_v of_o it_o cowdung_n be_v a_o good_a soil_n for_o

nature_n of_o your_o land_n and_o by_o so_o do_v to_o enrich_v it_o with_o such_o soil_n and_o dung_n as_o be_v most_o natural_a to_o the_o ground_n and_o to_o the_o seed_n you_o intend_v to_o sow_v on_o it_o and_o to_o lay_v it_o on_o your_o ground_n at_o the_o most_o convenient_a time_n first_o as_o to_o the_o ground_n i_o have_v hint_v at_o many_o useful_a compost_n and_o also_o that_o

very_o good_a effect_n yet_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v myself_o nor_o you_o with_o the_o name_v any_o more_o know_v that_o he_o that_o understand_v to_o number_v to_o 20_o in_o arithmetic_n may_v soon_o count_v to_o a_o 100_o now_o as_o to_o the_o seed_n you_o intend_v to_o sow_v whether_o it_o be_v of_o tree_n plant_n or_o any_o sort_n of_o grain_n the_o small_a your_o seed_n be_v make_v the_o ground_n the_o fine_a the_o quick_a your_o seed_n be_v of_o growth_n and_o the_o more_o they_o run_v into_o stalk_n or_o leaf_n your_o dung_n may_v then_o be_v the_o new_a and_o strong_a and_o the_o more_o in_o quantity_n according_a to_o the_o digestion_n of_o your_o plant_n but_o if_o for_o tree_n or_o plant_n of_o long_a last_a then_o let_v the_o dung_n be_v the_o more_o rot_a and_o the_o more_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o shoot_v great_a shoot_n the_o more_o you_o may_v allow_v they_o but_o let_v they_o be_v sure_a of_o some_o such_o ground_n as_o they_o natural_o delight_v to_o

as_o for_o lay_v it_o on_o your_o ground_n if_o the_o time_n be_v the_o spring_n that_o be_v most_o proper_a to_o sow_v your_o seed_n then_o lay_v such_o dung_n as_o be_v hot_a and_o dry_a early_a on_o your_o ground_n and_o rather_o err_v in_o too_o little_a than_o too_o much_o such_o dung_n as_o be_v your_o pigeon_n hen_n sea-coal-ash_n etc._n etc._n but_o if_o they_o be_v hot_a and_o moist_a such_o as_o horse-dung_n horselitter_n or_o green_a grass_n hay_o etc._n etc._n these_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o annual_n and_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o be_v too_o spare_v towards_o these_o tender_a plant_n rather_o err_v in_o keep_v your_o dung_n too_o dry_a than_o too_o wet_a for_o in_o so_o do_v you_o shall_v keep_v its_o heat_n the_o long_o and_o have_v the_o more_o command_n to_o keep_v it_o so_o but_o if_o you_o have_v occasion_n to_o lay_v dung_n on_o ground_n to_o help_v such_o tree_n or_o plant_n as_o be_v not_o annual_a but_o more_o slow_a in_o their_o progress_n then_o mix_v such_o dung_n thin_a and_o not_o too_o near_o the_o root_n but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o autumn_n season_n that_o you_o have_v occasion_n to_o lay_v it_o on_o your_o land_n then_o lay_v it_o something_o thick_a for_o the_o winter_n will_v qualify_v the_o strength_n and_o heat_n of_o it_o to_o conclude_v if_o you_o be_v to_o lay_v dung_n on_o land_n that_o you_o be_v to_o sow_v with_o seed_n that_o do_v not_o run_v much_o into_o stalk_n and_o be_v but_o slow_a in_o grow_v then_o do_v as_o our_o farmer_n do_v let_v it_o be_v rot_v and_o mix_v well_o with_o mould_n before_o you_o lay_v it_o on_o your_o land_n and_o then_o your_o grain_n or_o seed_n will_v the_o better_o agree_v with_o it_o or_o else_o you_o may_v find_v on_o your_o land_n strong_a great_a weed_n such_o as_o the_o ground_n be_v most_o incline_v to_o for_o strong_a land_n will_v produce_v the_o strong_a weed_n and_o the_o other_o contrary_n therefore_o if_o your_o dung_n be_v too_o rank_a and_o new_a for_o the_o seed_n you_o intend_v to_o sow_v your_o ground_n with_o then_o mix_v it_o with_o some_o other_o compost_n as_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o your_o land_n and_o most_o convenient_a to_o be_v have_v and_o if_o your_o land_n be_v stiff_a then_o mix_v it_o with_o chalk_n light_v sandy_a ground_n or_o somewhat_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n lay_v a_o good_a quantity_n of_o earth_n first_o than_o your_o dung_n and_o then_o earth_n to_o cover_v your_o dung_n all_o over_o by_o so_o do_v you_o will_v save_v that_o oily_a water_n which_o will_v soak_v from_o the_o dung_n by_o shower_n of_o rain_n into_o the_o earth_n under_o the_o dung_n and_o by_o cover_v your_o dung_n with_o earth_n it_o will_v keep_v the_o sun_n from_o dry_v out_o that_o moisture_n and_o whatever_o fume_n arise_v the_o earth_n on_o the_o top_n will_v receive_v be_v sure_a you_o let_v it_o not_o grow_v with_o weed_n on_o the_o top_n but_o when_o you_o find_v they_o to_o appear_v take_v they_o off_o and_o suffer_v none_o to_o grow_v on_o your_o compost_n or_o turn_v it_o over_o and_o mix_v it_o with_o your_o earth_n below_o however_o let_v it_o be_v mix_v together_o before_o you_o lay_v it_o on_o your_o land_n thus_o do_v with_o new_a horse-dung_n and_o litter_n but_o if_o it_o be_v any_o other_o dung_n lay_v it_o on_o your_o land_n as_o soon_o as_o opportunity_n serve_v for_o the_o long_o you_o let_v it_o lie_v the_o more_o it_o lose_v of_o its_o strength_n therefore_o lay_v it_o on_o rather_o too_o thin_a and_o in_o dry_a weather_n and_o early_o to_o assist_v nature_n do_v thou_o not_o neglect_v use_v she_o not_o rough_o lest_o there_o be_v defect_n thus_o much_o may_v serve_v for_o tree_n but_o if_o it_o be_v for_o flower_n or_o other_o fine_a and_o tender_a plant_n you_o then_o must_v be_v more_o

this_o but_o i_o shall_v instance_n only_o in_o these_o few_o as_o namely_o your_o ground_n that_o be_v constant_o feed_v have_v likewise_o constant_o a_o supply_n of_o cattle_n dung_n and_o urine_n with_o the_o variety_n of_o kind_n which_o add_v much_o to_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o likewise_o your_o pasture-ground_n though_o it_o abound_v with_o great_a variety_n of_o herb_n

one_o sort_n of_o cattle_n or_o other_o but_o the_o grass_n which_o grow_v on_o it_o do_v seldom_o run_v to_o flower_n or_o seed_n which_o when_o they_o do_v they_o draw_v forth_o much_o more_o of_o the_o salt_n or_o spirit_n or_o strength_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o we_o find_v the_o herb_n or_o grass_n on_o meadow-ground_n most_o common_o do_v therefore_o i_o judge_v your_o commons_o the_o best_a

of_o plant_n not_o only_o because_o there_o be_v often_o some_o assistance_n of_o soil_n which_o i_o confess_v make_v it_o much_o rich_a but_o also_o because_o it_o can_v produce_v those_o plant_n which_o natural_o it_o will_v be_v it_o not_o restrain_v for_o still_o it_o receive_v a_o constant_a supply_n from_o nature_n and_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v the_o almighty_a cause_v the_o
