as_o i_o have_v be_v credible_o inform_v the_o reason_n be_v from_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o salt_n which_o such_o trash_n do_v abound_v with_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v i_o say_v that_o rumny_n marsh_n and_o the_o marsh_n of_o holland_n feed_v the_o best_a of_o any_o ground_n in_o the_o world_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o low-countries_n have_v such_o a_o large_a breed_n of_o man_n horse_n and_o other_o beast_n as_o be_v not_o elsewhere_o to_o be_v find_v and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n likewise_o it_o be_v that_o the_o animal_n which_o be_v engender_v in_o the_o sea_n be_v far_o more_o numerous_a and_o great_a in_o bulk_n than_o those_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o young_a fry_n or_o spawn_n of_o fish_n belong_v to_o the_o river_n such_o i_o mean_v as_o relish_v the_o salt-water_n as_o salmon_n lamprys_n and_o the_o like_a though_o small_a and_o little_a when_o they_o leave_v the_o fresh_a stream_n will_n upon_o their_o return_n from_o the_o salt-water_n in_o a_o very_a short_a time_n acquire_v a_o extraordinary_a growth_n fish_n which_o be_v so_o testacious_a as_o crab_n lobster_n oyster_n and_o the_o like_a be_v much_o more_o nourish_a than_o other_o fish_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o volatile_a salt_n with_o which_o they_o do_v abound_v what_o we_o read_v of_o old_a of_o sow_v city_n with_o salt_n when_o they_o be_v to_o be_v erase_v and_o condemn_v to_o utter_v desolation_n seem_v much_o to_o confirm_v this_o opinion_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o soil_n be_v make_v fit_a for_o pasturage_n and_o for_o the_o service_n of_o beast_n which_o be_v design_v to_o be_v unfurnish_a with_o man_n though_o i_o much_o doubt_n whether_o our_o common_a salt_n if_o sow_o upon_o the_o earth_n will_v produce_v any_o great_a effect_n have_v receive_v possible_o some_o alteration_n from_o the_o fire_n i_o be_o more_o inclinable_a therefore_o to_o believe_v that_o by_o sow_v such_o place_n with_o salt_n be_v no_o more_o but_o to_o sow_v or_o scatter_v the_o ash_n on_o they_o arise_v from_o the_o ruin_n which_o general_o be_v by_o burn_v which_o ash_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o copious_a salt_n with_o which_o they_o do_v abound_v be_v themselves_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o figure_n call_v salt_n and_o such_o as_o serve_v to_o render_v the_o soil_n useful_a only_o for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o beast_n as_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v why_o such_o salt_n shall_v be_v so_o fruitful_a seem_v to_o proceed_v from_o their_o penetrate_a nature_n by_o which_o they_o seem_v to_o open_v first_o and_o then_o to_o purge_v the_o body_n which_o do_v imbibe_n they_o from_o their_o cold_n crude_a humour_n heal_v they_o likewise_o and_o afterward_o render_v they_o more_o uniform_a and_o compact_a the_o way_n of_o burn_a land_n

if_o fruit_n tree_n be_v not_o plant_v it_o will_v be_v very_o convenient_a and_o ornamental_a to_o have_v such_o walk_n in_o length_n and_o cross-way_n of_o lime-tree_n elm_n oak_n and_o the_o like_a

experience_n that_o in_o the_o year_n 1683_o one_o of_o the_o severe_a for_o frost_n we_o have_v ever_o know_v in_o england_n that_o all_o my_o fish_n die_v in_o those_o pond_n where_o i_o break_v the_o ice_n only_o in_o a_o little_a pool_n or_o pit_n which_o i_o take_v no_o care_n of_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v freeze_v to_o the_o bottom_n there_o the_o fish_n all_o escape_v and_o grow_v extraordinary_a the_o reason_n for_o their_o growth_n be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o for_o there_o preservation_n for_o as_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v many_o nitrous_a particle_n or_o kind_n of_o

so_o that_o the_o rigorous_a season_n seal_v up_o all_o the_o exterior_a passage_n and_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o cover_v the_o water_n too_o with_o a_o thick_a coat_n of_o ice_n impenetrable_a by_o the_o air_n and_o through_o which_o such_o exhalation_n can_v pass_v the_o fish_n by_o this_o mean_n receive_v much_o more_o nourishment_n than_o at_o other_o time_n the_o bottom_n and_o side_n of_o the_o pool_n which_o lie_v under_o the_o ice_n be_v free_a to_o admit_v of_o such_o perspiration_n which_o can_v fly_v out_o into_o the_o open_a air_n as_o at_o other_o time_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o congeal_a surface_n of_o the_o water_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o juvenal_n observation_n of_o some_o sort_n of_o fish_n that_o they_o be_v longo_fw-la frigore_fw-la pingues_fw-la and_o upon_o the_o same_o account_v it_o be_v likewise_o that_o fish_n be_v find_v in_o the_o northern_a sea_n in_o much_o great_a number_n and_o of_o a_o large_a bulk_n than_o in_o the_o southern_a and_o true_o i_o can_v aver_v it_o upon_o my_o own_o experience_n that_o after_o the_o severe_a winter_n beforementioned_a when_o the_o ice_n be_v thaw_v i_o take_v out_o of_o my_o pool_n carp_n big_a with_o spawn_n some_o 14_o some_o 16_o inch_n long_o which_o the_o summer_n before_o be_v not_o above_o 4_o or_o 5_o inch_n in_o length_n so_o that_o they_o grow_v 10_o or_o 11_o inch_n or_o better_o in_o eight_o month_n space_n which_o can_v proceed_v from_o nothing_o but_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o cold._a the_o reason_n why_o fish_n turn_v up_o their_o belly_n and_o die_v upon_o the_o break_n of_o a_o pool_n be_v this_o when_o a_o hole_n be_v make_v in_o the_o ice_n the_o compress_v water_n flow_v out_o thereat_o in_o a_o full_a stream_n or_o gush_v this_o motion_n of_o the_o water_n upon_o the_o inlet_n of_o fresh_a air_n draw_v the_o fish_n to_o the_o breach_n from_o out_o of_o there_o bank_n or_o hold_v where_o they_o lie_v warm_a though_o much_o incommoded_a for_o want_v of_o air_n which_o the_o closeness_n of_o the_o surface_n will_v not_o allow_v they_o come_v therefore_o to_o the_o break_a place_n for_o respiration_n the_o excessive_a
