the_o which_o myself_o be_v hardly_o draw_v to_o believe_v endeavour_v hereby_o to_o suggest_v the_o impossibility_n of_o ever_o accomplish_v a_o perfect_a drayn_n so_o that_o many_o not_o know_v that_o the_o fall_n be_v considerable_a in_o itself_o and_o very_o great_a into_o the_o sea_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o ebb_a of_o the_o water_n will_v thereby_o give_v opportunity_n unto_o a_o most_o

believe_v that_o in_o some_o great_a pasture_n in_o england_n there_o be_v one_o four_o part_n of_o the_o clear_a fruit_n of_o that_o land_n lose_v by_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o they_o and_o little_o

will_v clear_o be_v convince_v thereof_o if_o they_o will_v but_o either_o serious_o consider_v the_o quantity_n of_o grass_n that_o grow_v upon_o they_o or_o else_o consider_v the_o rareness_n of_o cattle_n feed_v upon_o they_o and_o then_o also_o consider_v the_o quantity_n of_o ground_n and_o good_a ground_n they_o cover_v will_v easy_o appear_v the_o great_a prejudice_n by_o they_o and_o that_o the_o sand_n and_o gravel_n wash_v from_o the_o molehill_n be_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o rot_a sheep_n i_o absolute_o affirm_v but_o thereto_o some_o may_v object_v they_o make_v more_o

that_o cattle_n eat_v not_o but_o a_o little_a thereof_o in_o case_n of_o hunger_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o cover_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a land_n do_v but_o real_o consider_v it_o upon_o

that_o be_v so_o hilly_a and_o again_o if_o you_o do_v not_o flatter_v yourselves_o in_o your_o own_o judgement_n you_o will_v find_v that_o while_n the_o land_n be_v plain_a if_o you_o consider_v

for_o in_o my_o experience_n i_o find_v that_o old_a resty_a land_n much_o overrun_v with_o these_o hill_n much_o degenerate_v and_o do_v not_o nor_o have_v of_o late_a year_n keep_v the_o former_a
