THE

PART

Which
treateth
of
planting
Trees
of
diuers
kinds
for
Timber
and
Fuell

and
of
sowing
their

Surueyor
.
MAster
Woodward
you
are
well
met
,
I
hope
you
haue
now
sufficiently
digested
those
doubts
concerning
woods
and
wooddie
grounds
,
which
at
our
last
méeting
I
was
desirous
to
satisfie
you
of
.
Woodward
.
Sir
,
I
must
confesse
,
that
since
my
last
conference
with
you
I
haue
better
apprehended
that
subiect
then
I
did
at
the
first
:
for
to
tell
you
true
,
though
by
Patent
I
am
his
Maiesties
Woodward
in
these
parts
,
and
according
to
the
opinion
and
vnderstanding
of
euery
man
,
I
should
not
be
ignorant
in
the
particulars
concerning
my
office
,
yet
so
ambitious
we
are
of
preferment
and
gaines
,
as
if
we
can
deuise
to
make
a
secret
commoditie
to
our selues
,
we
thinke
we
haue
vnderstanding
sufficient
for
the
executing
of
the
place
.
Suru
.
It
séemeth
then
you
little
respect
either
diligence
or
art
,
in
planting
and
well
husbanding
of
woods
and
wooddie
grounds
within
your
office
,
but
all
séemeth
to
be
well
done
by
you
,
if
it
be
done
with
profit
to
your selfe
.
Wood.
Not
so
M.
Surueyor
,
you
tax
me
too
farre
:
for
though
I
am
content
,
partly
by
custome
,
and
partly
(
I
must
confesse
)
out
of
a
desire
of
gaines
to
make
some
honest
thrift
of
my
office
,
yet
notwithstanding
(
though
I
doe
not
plant
or
set
young
trées
)
I
haue
a
speciall
care
that
none
of
his
Maiesties
Timber
or
Dottard
trées
be
taken
or
felled
,
but
by
speciall
authoritie
:
and
as
for
vnderwood
and
Coppies
,
they
are
so
carefully
preserued
,
as
not
any
cattell
commeth
in
them
vntill
fiue
or
sixe
yeares
after
the
fall
.
Sur.
If
you
doe
so
,
you
doe
reasonable
well
,
though
yet
to
be
blamed
:
for
by
Statute
,
Copies
of
diuers
growthes
newly
felled
,
should
bee
preserued
according
to
their
growthes
.
For
the
Statute
sayth
,
Woods
felled
at
or
vnder
14
yeares
growth
,
shall
be
preserued
6
yeares
:
Woods
felled
aboue
14
yeares
growth
,
and
vnder
24
,
shall
be
preserued
8
yeares
:
Common
Woods
inclosed
shall
be
kept
in
seuerall
9
yeares
following
.
And
also
the
Statute
further
sayth
,
It
shall
not
be
lawfull
for
any
person
to
put
any
manner
of
cattell
into
Copies
wood
,
to
be
preserued
from
the
time
of
the
sale
thereof
,
vntill
the
end
of
fiue
yeares
,
nor
from
the
end
of
fiue
yeares
any
other
cattell
,
but
Calues
and
yeareling
Colts
onely
vnto
the
end
of
six
yeares
,
if
the
wood
was
vnder
the
age
of
14
yeares
at
the
last
fall
,
or
vntill
the
age
of
8
yeares
,
if
the
wood
was
aboue
the
age
of
14
yeares
at
the
last
fall
.
But
indéed
the
best
way
for
pr●seruing
of
Spring
wood
,
is
not
to
put
any
cattell
into
such
Copies
at
all
:
and
the
best
time
to
fell
them
is
in
Ianuarie
&
Februarie
,
at
the
first
quarter
of
the
Moone
.
But
yet
there
be
some
Woodwards
,
Baylifes
,
and
Tenants
of
Woods
,
who
are
not
so
carefull
in
their
office
as
you
are
,
yet
will
they
for
fashion
sake
preserue
the
Spring
reasonably
well
for
one
yeare
or
two
after
the
fall
and
hagging
of
them
,
but
afterwards
they
grow
couetous
and
carelesse
,
and
will
make
it
as
common
for
their
cattell
as
any
the
rest
of
their
grounds
.
And
truely
though
the
Statute
of
35.
of
H.
8.
doth
séeme
a
little
to
helpe
the
imperfections
of
the
former
Statutes
,
for
seueraltie
in
common
soyles
,
where
replantation
is
to
be
made
,
yet
God
knowes
it
commeth
farre
too
short
to
cure
the
spoyles
and
deu●stations
that
since
hath
been
made
in
Woods
.
For
my selfe
haue
knowne
certaine
grounds
,
vpon
which
within
this
twentie
or
thirtie
yeares
was
growing
great
store
of
Vnderwood
and
Timber
,
and
did
yearely
pay
to
the
late
Quéene
a
rent
,
but
now
the
wood
is
all
gone
,
the
soyle
turned
to
a
Common
,
and
the
rent
quite
lost
,
and
not
any
paid
:
and
truely
more
is
like
to
follow
in
this
kind
,
if
the
headie
and
headlong
clamour
of
the
vulgar
sort
be
not
(
by
some
aduised
course
of
superiour
officers
)
moderated
in
the
balance
of
equitie
.
There
be
also
other
officers
of
Woods
,
who
,
as
they
doe
accidentally
trauaile
by
such
Woods
that
are
within
their
office
(
pretending
a
speciall
care
of
preseruing
the
Wood
)
will
before
they
depart
commonly
claime
some
Timber
trées
(
and
those
not
of
the
worst
)
for
their
sée
trées
as
they
call
them
.
Wood.
It
is
true
,
that
where
woods
haue
béen
spoiled
,
and
that
the
inhabitants
do
find
a
benefit
by
the
herbage
of
the
soyle
,
they
will
neuer
endure
(
by
their
good
wils
)
to
heare
of
any
replantation
or
inclosure
,
méet
for
it
,
but
with
a
generall
clamor
they
crie
for
their
●ommon
,
their
Common
,
forgetting
altogether
by
whom
the
Woods
haue
bin
so
spoiled
and
destroied
,
and
as
though
the
Common
were
their
owne
inheritance
.
Well
,
leauing
these
matters
to
those
that
chiefely
manage
such
and
the
like
affaires
,
and
to
answere
you
concerning
those
Fée
trées
you
speake
of
,
which
indéed
is
a
custome
(
but
by
what
authoritie
I
know
not
)
that
many
of
vs
commonly
chalenge
such
Fee
trees
:
and
also
when
his
Maiestie
maketh
any
sale
of
Timber
or
Sur.
It
is
true
,
it
is
both
a
custome
and
an
abuse
among
diuers
others
,
by
some
maintained
,
by
not
being
complained
of
,
especially
by
some
officers
,
whose
names
I
will
conceale
:
for
one
of
them
hauing
a
few
yeares
past
a
warrant
directed
to
him
for
the
felling
of
an
hundred
Timber
trees
,
for
the
repayre
of
a
Parke-pale
of
the
Kings
,
and
which
was
at
that
instant
in
repairing
,
by
wood
growing
in
the
said
Parke
,
this
honest
officer
did
cause
to
be
felled
,
and
marked
to
be
felled
140.
which
was
40.
more
then
he
had
warrant
for
.
The
same
officer
did
also
,
by
vertue
of
his
office
,
or
else
by
warrant
(
at
two
seuerall
times
for
the
repaire
of
another
Parke-pale
of
his
Maiesties
,
which
had
a
sufficient
stone
wall
about
it
,
and
which
was
about
30.
miles
distant
from
the
said
Wood
)
caused
to
be
deliuered
about
30.
Timber
trees
,
which
,
as
it
was
said
,
were
sold
vnto
townes
not
farre
from
the
said
Wood
,
and
the
money
pursed
vp
,
and
not
any
bestowed
about
the
said
Parke
,
because
ind●ed
it
needed
no
paling
,
but
stone
to
make
and
mend
the
wall
,
of
which
was
great
store
hard
by
.
Wood.
If
this
be
true
,
this
officer
doth
ill
deserue
his
place
,
much
lesse
any
allowance
of
his
fees
.
Sur.
You
would
say
so
,
if
you
knew
all
:
but
leauing
these
abuses
of
such
officers
of
Woods
.
not
much
impertinent
Wood.
Sir
,
your
question
is
most
excellent
and
profitable
for
the
Commonwealth
,
therefore
I
pray
procéed
as
distinctly
as
you
may
,
for
as
well
my selfe
,
as
many
other
such
ignorant
Woodwards
as
I
am
,
yea
and
who
not
,
shall
greatly
be
benefited
hereby
.
Sur.
But
stay
,
what
two
are
those
who
come
yonder
?
Wood.
Marry
it
is
M.
Peregrine
,
one
who
holdeth
diuers
Copies
of
the
Kings
in
Lease
,
and
the
other
is
also
a
Farmer
,
called
Ienings
.
Peregrine
.
Ienings
,
doest
know
the
gentleman
that
is
yonder
with
the
Woodward
?
Ienings
.
Know
him
,
I
God
knowes
;
doe
not
you
Sir
?
Pereg.
Oh
▪
I
perceiue
it
is
the
Surueyor
:
gentleman
God
saue
you
.
Sur.
M.
Peregrine
,
you
are
welcome
,
and
happily
now
arriued
,
for
this
honest
Woodward
and
I
were
beginning
a
discourse
,
concerning
the
preseruing
and
encreasing
of
Wood
,
which
subiect
(
if
you
please
)
will
not
be
altogether
vnprofitable
for
you
to
heare
.
Pereg.
Your
discourse
will
séeme
very
necessarie
and
pleasing
,
considering
how
forward
euerie
man
is
in
these
dayes
to
fell
downe
Timber
,
and
grub
vp
Copies
,
&
none
endeuours
to
plant
any
,
whereby
in
time
must
néedes
follow
a
generall
wast
of
all
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
that
it
is
many
mens
humors
so
to
doe
,
and
the
reason
thereof
as
I
conceiue
is
,
first
,
they
desire
to
make
profit
of
the
trée
by
felling
it
:
secondly
,
that
in
planting
young
trées
,
or
sowing
of
their
séedes
,
they
thinke
not
to
liue
to
reape
any
profit
thereby
during
their
liues
,
because
it
séemeth
a
long
time
before
they
come
to
any
growth
:
and
thirdly
,
because
not
any
of
late
haue
as
yet
written
of
this
subiect
,
whereby
they
want
rules
and
instructions
how
to
begin
,
and
procéed
:
in
all
which
I
hope
to
giue
them
good
satisfaction
,
and
so
farre
to
encourage
them
herein
,
as
where
now
euerie
one
séemeth
to
draw
by
the
plough
tayle
,
they
will
I
doubt
not
,
after
more
diuulging
of
this
subiect
,
and
duly
considering
hereof
,
vniformely
apply
their
minds
and
labours
to
this
generall
and
profitable
businesse
.
Omitting
then
all
circumstances
,
and
to
satisfie
your
desires
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
to
plant
wood
,
or
sow
their
séedes
,
you
must
consider
the
fatnesse
or
Wood.
You
begin
well
.
I
perceiue
then
that
all
manner
of
trées
are
not
to
be
planted
in
all
sorts
of
grounds
,
but
the
nature
of
the
trée
considered
,
it
must
so
be
suited
with
such
a
ground
,
that
the
plant
and
séed
may
the
better
come
vp
and
prosper
,
be
it
Timber
,
Fruit
trées
,
or
any
other
kind
of
wood
.
Sur.
It
is
so
,
for
if
you
plant
an
Oake
in
a
wet
moorish
ground
,
a
Willow
vpon
a
grauellie
,
drie
,
and
barren
hill
,
or
an
Appletrée
in
an
open
,
cold
,
and
bleake
field
,
they
may
well
grow
,
but
so
poorely
,
as
neither
their
fruit
or
trées
themselues
,
in
manie
yeares
,
will
counteruaile
the
first
yeares
charge
of
planting
them
;
therefore
the
nature
of
the
plant
and
seed
must
wel
be
considered
of
,
to
correspond
with
the
qualitie
and
condition
of
the
ground
.
And
now
|
Oake
|
tree
.
|
Elme
|
Ash
|
Beech
|
to
procéed
concerning
▪
Timber
▪
trées
,
it
is
well
knowne
,
that
there
grow
in
England
foure
sorts
of
speciall
Timber
trées
,
and
they
also
excéeding
one
another
in
goodnesse
,
and
these
are
the
Oake
,
the
Elme
,
the
Ash
,
and
Béech
trée
,
and
they
are
all
excellent
in
their
kinds
;
but
the
chiefest
of
them
for
durable
building
of
houses
and
shipping
,
is
the
Oake
:
next
to
that
is
the
Elms
which
serueth
to
like
good
vses
:
the
third
is
the
Ash
;
which
sometime
also
is
vsed
for
building
,
but
most
commonly
for
Coupers
,
Whéele-wrights
,
and
Ploughwrights
:
and
the
fourth
,
which
is
the
Beech
trée
,
is
the
worst
,
yet
often
employed
for
Timber
,
and
much
vsed
among
Ioyners
,
and
also
for
manie
other
good
purposes
.
There
is
also
a
fift
kind
of
Timber
trée
,
of
which
few
grow
in
England
,
and
which
is
little
inferiour
to
any
the
rest
,
and
that
is
the
Chesnut
trée
,
which
beareth
Hyrcania
Silua
,
which
enuironeth
that
fertile
kingdome
of
Bohemia
,
where
the
pesants
of
that
countrey
,
in
their
trauaile
there
,
doe
often
chop
fliues
or
chips
of
those
trées
with
their
hatchets
,
(
which
vsually
they
do
walke
withall
,
as
we
do
here
with
staues
)
and
bring
them
home
and
vse
them
in
stead
of
candles
to
do
their
businesse
about
the
house
in
the
night
time
,
which
by
reason
of
the
abundance
of
gumme
that
is
in
them
,
they
will
burne
excéeding
well
and
cléere
:
and
these
kinds
of
trées
might
well
be
had
and
made
to
grow
and
prosper
here
in
England
,
if
men
would
with
a
frée
desire
apply
themselues
to
be
ingenious
and
carefull
herein
.
And
the
rather
am
I
confirmed
in
this
opinion
,
because
(
as
I
haue
credibly
heard
)
the
Marquesse
of
Huntley
,
and
many
other
,
haue
diuers
Woods
of
this
kind
growing
in
the
Countie
of
Aberdéene
in
Scotland
.
And
also
one
Master
Thomas
Bowen
of
Trefloine
in
the
County
of
Pembroke
,
a
Gentleman
of
good
worth
,
had
about
fiftéene
or
sixtéene
yeares
past
manie
young
and
small
plants
of
this
kind
brought
him
home
by
Saylers
from
the
Newfound land
,
with
some
of
the
earth
wherein
they
did
formerly
grow
,
and
planted
them
together
with
the
said
earth
in
conuenient
places
about
his
house
,
where
they
haue
since
so
well
prospered
,
that
many
of
them
at
this
present
are
about
foure
foot
in
circuit
,
and
also
very
high
and
tapering
.
And
they
will
grow
vpon
mountaines
,
grauellie
soyles
,
or
in
good
earth
,
either
by
planting
the
young
trée
,
or
sowing
of
the
séed
.
Pereg.
These
Firre
trées
,
as
I
haue
heard
trauaylers
report
,
will
also
grow
verie
well
in
a
heath
or
lingie
soyle
,
which
if
they
would
,
what
a
benefit
might
we
haue
thereby
in
planting
the
young
trées
,
or
sowing
of
the
séedes
in
such
grounds
,
from
whence
ensueth
(
as
it
is
)
scarce
a
thought
of
any
profit
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
and
I
haue
séene
them
grow
vpon
such
land
as
you
speake
of
,
and
that
excéeding
large
and
tall
;
and
if
some
industrious
man
would
apply
himself
to
make
triall
thereof
in
Windsor
Forest
,
or
some
such
like
heathie
barren
ground
,
his
endeauour
were
worthily
to
be
respected
,
and
no
doubt
would
proue
very
acceptable
to
the
Commonwealth
.
Pereg.
I
like
your
discourse
so
well
,
that
if
you
would
here
make
an
end
,
I
thinke
you
haue
said
ynough
to
make
me
an
excellent
husband
in
my
owne
Woods
,
for
I
now
perceiue
that
better
skill
and
husbandrie
is
vsed
about
woods
and
wooddie
grounds
than
vsually
is
knowne
.
Sur.
I
am
glad
you
conceiue
so
well
of
my
spéeches
,
I
trust
before
we
end
our
discourse
,
to
make
it
plainely
appeare
to
you
the
excellencie
and
great
commoditie
of
this
new
kind
of
industrie
,
or
rather
an
old
thrift
newly
reuiued
.
But
what
saith
goodman
Ienings
to
this
conference
?
it
séemeth
nothing
pleasing
to
him
,
because
he
hath
béene
so
long
silent
.
Ienings
.
It
may
be
you
hit
the
nayle
vpon
the
head
:
for
these
are
matters
beyond
my
capacitie
or
profit
,
and
therefore
I
intend
not
to
trouble
my selfe
with
them
.
Sur.
And
why
so
?
is
it
not
better
for
you
to
haue
your
Copies
and
Hedgrowes
well
set
and
growne
with
trées
,
wherby
you
may
at
ease
&
with
little
cost
haue
Houseboote
,
Fireboote
,
&c.
more
then
sufficient
to
supply
your
wants
,
rather
than
that
for
want
of
them
you
perhaps
doe
send
two
or
thrée
myles
,
yea
it
may
be
tenne
or
twelue
myles
,
or
more
,
to
furnish
your selfe
therewith
.
Ien.
I
Sir
,
I
graunt
all
that
to
be
true
;
but
if
wee
poore
Farmers
take
paines
to
plant
young
trées
and
sow
Acornes
,
these
great
Landlords
will
be
sure
to
haue
the
crop
thereof
:
so
that
we
haue
nothing
but
our
labours
for
our
hire
,
which
indéed
doth
greatly
discourage
all
honest
men
in
that
kind
.
Sur.
Herein
you
say
but
iust
and
reason
:
for
if
by
your
good
meanes
&
industrie
you
enrich
your
Landlords
ground
with
any
commoditie
,
there
is
also
iust
cause
why
the
Lord
should
by
déed
shew
himselfe
thankfull
to
you
for
it
.
But
to
procéede
,
the
nature
of
the
plant
and
qualitie
of
the
ground
considered
,
you
are
then
to
enclose
this
circuit
of
ground
,
which
you
intend
to
plant
or
sow
,
with
a
good
ditch
&
quick-set
Pereg.
This
séemeth
an
infinite
labour
and
charge
,
the
gaines
had
néed
be
great
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
that
vpon
the
first
view
or
apprehension
thereof
the
labour
and
charge
séemeth
somewhat
great
,
but
with
patience
,
and
vpon
some
few
yeares
expectancie
,
the
gaines
will
greatly
ouertop
the
charge
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
further
declared
.
Wood.
But
I
pray
Sir
at
what
time
of
the
yeare
is
it
best
to
plant
in
?
Sur.
It
is
a
good
time
for
planting
,
from
about
the
fiftéenth
of
Februarie
to
the
beginning
of
Aprill
;
or
generally
,
as
some
rather
thinke
it
best
,
about
the
later
end
of
September
Taurus
,
Virgo
,
or
Capricorne
.
Pereg.
And
I
pray
in
what
sort
should
we
make
choice
of
our
plants
to
be
planted
?
Sur.
You
shall
vnderstand
,
there
is
no
man
who
either
intendeth
or
maintaineth
a
bréed
of
Horses
,
but
desireth
to
furnish
himselfe
with
faire
proportionable
Stallions
,
and
answerable
Mares
,
by
which
he
expecteth
like
foales
.
And
so
in
planting
,
I
would
wish
euery
man
that
planteth
trées
to
Ien.
Though
I
hate
your
profession
,
because
you
pry
into
our
liuings
,
yet
I
begin
to
conceiue
well
of
your
spéeches
:
but
you
Surueyors
are
shroade
and
terrible
men
to
deale
withall
,
when
you
come
among
vs
poore
Farmers
,
and
therefore
I
dare
not
approue
your
conceit
herein
too
much
.
Sur.
I
pray
my
friend
wherein
are
we
shroade
and
terrible
men
to
deale
withall
▪
for
if
we
be
employed
in
a
Suruey
of
land
,
and
doe
according
to
truth
and
equitie
make
an
exact
and
iust
certificat
to
the
Lord
of
the
Manor
of
all
the
particulars
incident
in
the
said
Suruey
,
what
shroade
or
terrible
dealing
is
this
?
Againe
,
if
other
men
,
and
those
perhaps
your
neighbours
,
should
out
of
malice
(
as
many
do
)
informe
your
Lord
,
that
your
Farme
were
better
worth
by
twentie
pounds
the
yeare
than
it
is
,
whereby
the
Lord
perhaps
,
somewhat
too
couetous
to
aduance
his
own
thrift
,
is
drawne
by
their
reports
to
prize
it
accordingly
:
and
hereupon
he
employeth
a
man
of
good
sufficiencie
,
both
in
skill
and
honestie
,
to
suruey
it
:
this
man
vpon
the
surueying
of
euerie
particular
hereof
,
certifieth
the
Lord
in
an
vpright
conscience
,
that
this
your
neighbours
information
was
false
,
and
grounded
altogether
vpon
malice
and
spléene
:
if
this
then
be
so
,
as
commonly
it
is
,
it
cannot
be
called
terrible
dealing
in
the
Surueyor
,
but
good
and
vpright
iustice
;
and
who
then
may
be
iustly
said
to
be
a
shroade
and
terrible
man
,
this
your
malitious
neighbour
,
or
the
honest
Surueyor
?
And
this
haue
I
certainely
knowne
by
experience
,
that
vpon
surueying
of
a
Manor
,
wherein
I
haue
had
power
and
authoritie
from
the
Lord
both
to
set
and
sell
lands
;
during
which
time
,
diuers
men
haue
come
to
me
to
deale
for
them
by
way
of
hiring
and
buying
,
wherein
I
haue
found
such
apparant
malice
,
as
they
would
not
onely
in
priuat
importune
me
to
outbid
each
other
,
but
also
euen
publikely
,
and
that
with
great
earnestnesse
affirme
the
same
;
and
what
then
should
I
doe
,
but
according
to
the
trust
reposed
in
me
,
informe
the
Lord
thereof
,
and
why
also
should
not
the
Lord
,
without
any
imputation
of
racking
his
T●nants
,
take
what
willingly
is
offered
him
.
And
truly
I
must
néedes
say
this
of
most
Tenants
,
that
by
●eason
of
this
gréedinesse
and
spléene
one
against
the
other
of
hyring
and
buying
land
,
they
are
more
their
owne
enemies
Ien.
Well
Sir
,
I
am
content
for
this
present
to
take
your
spéeches
for
payment
,
but
I
trust
before
we
depart
,
to
make
you
confesse
your
owne
shroade
and
terrible
doings
.
Sur.
If
you
can
doe
that
iustly
,
let
me
then
be
proclaimed
,
not
onely
shroade
and
terrible
,
but
also
dishonest
and
trea●herous
.
Wood.
Master
Peregrine
,
our
Farmer
here
is
too
contentious
and
cholericke
,
I
pray
let
this
idle
controuersie
be
ended
vntill
some
other
time
,
and
let
vs
proceede
in
our
former
discourse
of
planting
wood
.
Therefore
Sir
we
must
entreat
you
to
beare
with
this
honest
Farmers
imperfection
:
for
it
is
likely
hee
speaketh
according
as
hee
hath
found
by
some
such
officious
men
you
spake
of
euen
now
,
who
haue
certified
the
value
and
goodnesse
of
his
Farme
to
be
much
better
than
the
rent
he
now
payeth
;
and
therefore
I
pray
haue
patience
,
and
let
vs
continue
our
subiect
of
Planting
.
Sur.
Most
willingly
,
if
it
will
please
this
angrie
Farmer
to
haue
patience
,
and
not
to
interrupt
me
,
I
will
willingly
frame
my selfe
to
a
peaceable
discourse
,
and
would
be
glad
to
satisfie
him
in
any
thing
I
can
,
and
therefore
speake
fréely
,
if
you
conceiue
any
doubt
.
And
now
to
our
planting
againe
.
Next
after
you
haue
thus
planted
your
trées
,
and
that
they
are
well
and
firmely
setled
in
the
ground
the
whole
Summer
and
Winter
,
then
towards
the
Spring
you
must
begin
to
trimme
and
husband
them
,
which
is
a
speciall
helpe
and
Wood.
This
must
néedes
be
a
most
excellent
course
and
manner
of
planting
,
onely
that
the
charge
thereof
will
somewhat
dismay
men
from
entring
thereinto
,
which
if
it
should
,
then
we
are
still
like
to
haue
all
manner
of
wood
goe
downe
,
which
at
last
must
néedes
make
an
end
of
all
.
Sur.
I
tell
you
againe
,
the
charge
is
little
to
be
respected
in
regard
of
the
profit
,
which
within
thrée
or
foure
yeres
men
shall
apparantly
sée
come
on
▪
which
short
time
ended
,
the
charge
and
labour
is
then
past
for
euer
:
for
after
the
plants
be
growne
to
a
sufficient
height
&
steadinesse
in
the
ground
,
that
wéedes
&
bushes
cannot
ouertop
or
sway
them
downe
,
then
to
the
contrarie
,
the
young
trées
so
growne
,
the
shadow
of
them
will
kéepe
the
Sunne
and
ayre
from
the
wéedes
,
that
they
cannot
get
vp
,
or
at
least
very
poorely
:
and
if
this
were
but
once
put
in
practise
by
some
industrious
men
,
and
a
diligent
care
had
therein
,
as
is
aforesaid
,
I
doe
not
thinke
the
contrarie
,
but
that
the
vndertakers
thereof
would
grow
more
ambitious
and
iealous
in
concealing
the
profit
therein
than
the
Marchant
,
who
aduentureth
great
summes
of
money
vpon
vncertaine
and
desperate
hazards
.
Ien.
Why
,
I
pray
M.
Surueyor
,
is
it
not
daily
séene
,
that
young
trees
grow
vp
and
prosper
well
without
such
paines
and
charge
,
and
that
onely
by
the
naturall
nourishment
and
fruitfulnesse
of
the
ground
or
climate
?
And
if
so
,
what
then
néedes
all
this
paines
&
cost
:
and
therefore
I
should
thinke
(
if
men
will
néedes
be
at
cost
and
charges
)
that
sowing
of
Acornes
,
and
other
such
Timber
séedes
,
is
much
better
,
lesse
charge
,
and
will
grow
vp
as
timely
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
many
plants
or
young
siences
or
springs
grow
vp
naturally
to
goodly
tall
&
straight
trées
,
but
where
one
doth
come
vp
so
well
without
art
,
there
doe
an
hundred
perish
for
it
,
being
either
ouergrowne
by
wéedes
or
bushes
,
or
Pereg.
Your
discourse
is
verie
pleasing
,
and
probably
may
effect
well
,
if
it
were
put
in
practise
:
and
of
this
you
said
sufficiently
,
and
therefore
I
thinke
there
néedeth
not
any
thing
else
to
be
done
concerning
the
setting
and
husbanding
of
plants
.
Sur.
Yes
,
there
is
yet
more
to
be
said
and
done
concerning
this
practise
,
which
I
shall
now
speake
of
.
Before
then
you
goe
in
hand
to
plant
any
young
trées
,
you
are
first
to
consider
of
two
things
;
namely
,
the
soyle
where
you
intend
to
plant
,
Taurus
,
Virgo
,
or
Capricorne
.
Wood.
Indéed
I
like
well
of
this
pruning
or
shredding
of
trées
,
especially
when
they
grow
to
some
good
bignesse
of
Timber
,
for
then
the
Déere
haue
their
fill
of
brousing
,
the
trée
much
prospereth
,
and
we
poore
officers
make
some
little
commoditie
of
the
remnant
of
such
brouse
wood
:
and
also
now
and
then
for
want
of
sufficient
brouse
for
our
fuell
,
we
take
a
poore
old
doted
trée
or
two
to
supply
our
wants
.
Sur.
M.
Woodward
,
I
beléeue
you
without
swearing
:
for
vnder
the
colour
for
brouse
for
the
Déere
,
you
make
hauocke
of
loppes
,
and
manie
times
fell
branches
or
armes
of
Timber
trées
,
wherein
my selfe
haue
séene
sixtéene
or
twentie
foot
of
good
Timber
in
many
such
loppings
,
wherein
indéed
you
should
fell
boughes
for
brousing
no
bigger
than
the
Déere
may
well
turne
ouer
with
his
hornes
.
And
further
,
where
you
thinke
it
causeth
the
Timber
trée
to
grow
tall
and
large
,
therein
you
greatly
deceiue
your selfe
,
for
the
boughes
once
cut
from
such
a
Timber
trée
,
in
that
manner
as
you
speake
of
,
be
it
either
cut
néere
the
bodie
,
or
farre
off
,
the
wet
and
rainie
weather
doth
then
straight
begin
to
enter
in
,
and
euen
from
the
highest
of
euerie
such
bough
so
cut
off
,
to
the
foot
of
the
trée
,
the
water
will
slide
and
soke
downe
betwéene
the
Wood.
Why
,
I
pray
what
is
a
Dottard
trée
?
may
we
not
call
those
doted
trées
which
are
dead
in
the
top
?
Sur.
Now
good
God
,
what
an
age
is
this
!
how
pleasingly
men
doe
assume
to
themselues
any
thing
which
sauoureth
of
profit
,
how
vniust
soeuer
!
But
Sir
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
all
trées
decaied
in
the
top
are
not
accounted
Dottards
,
though
it
be
apparant
that
they
are
in
declining
,
for
in
such
trées
happily
there
may
be
thrée
or
foure
loades
of
very
good
Timber
.
But
a
Dottard
trée
,
as
I
conceiue
,
is
any
old
trée
Wood.
What
Master
Surueyor
,
haue
we
all
this
while
approued
your
spéeches
for
good
and
commendable
,
and
will
you
now
oppose
your selfe
against
poore
Woodwards
,
Kéepers
,
and
other
officers
of
Woods
,
who
now
&
then
get
some
such
poore
fées
?
I
had
thought
you
had
béen
a
man
of
a
more
charitable
and
friendly
disposition
.
Ien.
Charitable
!
I
:
let
men
of
his
profession
be
but
a
little
countenanced
by
some
great
man
,
and
you
will
instantly
sée
how
they
will
dominéere
ouer
such
poore
men
as
we
be
.
Pereg.
Indéed
Master
Surueyor
,
where
lawfull
fées
haue
béene
of
custome
due
to
Officers
,
I
sée
no
cause
why
they
should
be
abridged
of
them
,
they
clayming
but
the
auncient
and
ordinarie
fées
,
which
for
many
yeares
their
predecessors
haue
had
.
Sur.
Why
I
pray
what
hurt
haue
I
said
?
which
though
by
way
of
discourse
I
spake
of
such
an
abuse
;
yet
it
lyeth
not
in
me
to
determine
it
,
neither
are
they
the
●urther
from
it
,
nor
is
it
my
meaning
,
that
these
officers
should
lo●e
hereby
,
if
it
should
be
taken
from
them
:
but
directly
I
say
it
is
an
abuse
,
and
the
Timber
is
much
impayred
thereby
,
and
I
could
wish
a
reformation
thereof
,
as
also
that
such
officers
should
haue
competent
fées
or
allowances
in
mony
in
stead
of
loppes
and
brouse
wood
,
whereby
the
Kings
Timber
might
be
the
better
preserued
.
Wood.
You
doe
well
to
salue
what
you
haue
said
:
but
how
I
pray
,
What
competent
fées
can
bee
allowed
them
?
What
likelyhood
is
there
in
that
?
Sur.
Marry
thus
:
where
a
Woodward
or
Kéeper
perhaps
doe
make
yearely
of
such
brouse
wood
tenne
pounds
(
either
by
selling
the
wood
,
or
burning
of
it
to
ashes
)
I
would
haue
them
strictly
prohibited
from
felling
but
so
much
,
and
such
as
will
sufficiently
serue
the
Déere
for
brousing
,
and
that
such
loppings
should
not
any
way
annoy
or
impayre
the
trée
,
and
those
so
felled
,
that
when
the
Déere
haue
done
brousing
of
them
,
that
the
Keeper
haue
a
competencie
thereof
for
his
fuell
,
and
the
remaine
should
be
sold
to
the
Kings
vse
by
some
other
officer
appointed
for
that
purpose
:
and
then
,
for
that
the
Keeper
is
thus
abridged
of
these
fees
,
which
he
cannot
in
right
chalenge
,
yet
I
would
wish
that
hée
might
still
haue
the
same
proportion
per
annum
in
money
,
not
because
I
hold
it
a
thing
due
vnto
him
,
but
because
it
will
encourage
him
to
be
more
carefull
in
his
office
,
as
well
in
looking
to
the
Game
,
that
no
idle
persons
range
vp
and
downe
with
dogs
,
Crossebowes
,
or
Gunnes
;
and
also
to
the
Wood
,
that
no
sticke-carriers
or
other
p●rloyning
people
doe
abuse
themselues
therein
by
hacking
and
mangling
of
the
trees
:
and
though
this
may
seeme
a
charge
to
the
King
,
by
paying
yerely
a
certaine
summe
out
of
his
cofers
,
where
before
he
payed
none
,
yet
vpon
good
consideration
(
vnder
correction
)
hee
should
greatly
gaine
hereby
:
for
this
tenne
pounds
the
yeare
which
you
get
by
selling
this
brouse
wood
,
is
perhaps
richly
worth
twentie
pounds
(
for
you
cannot
possibly
get
the
full
price
thereof
,
but
you
must
needes
sell
it
greatly
vnder
the
value
,
as
glad
to
haue
it
gone
,
for
that
you
dare
not
approue
the
sale
thereof
)
so
that
his
Maiestie
shall
saue
one
way
by
the
bargaine
in
not
lopping
of
any
trees
,
because
the
tree
shall
then
still
haue
his
full
burthen
,
and
he
shall
saue
much
more
another
way
by
the
well
preseruing
his
Timber
treees
,
if
no
such
Loppes
bee
felled
at
all
:
For
as
I
said
before
,
such
loppings
or
shreddings
doe
vtterly
spoile
many
good
Timber
trees
.
For
if
your
tree
at
the
Lopping
or
Shredding
thereof
were
worth
fortie
sh●●lings
,
that
tree
within
twelue
or
sixteene
yeares
following
will
incline
to
be
a
Dottard
tree
,
and
worth
perhaps
not
aboue
fifteene
or
twentie
shilings
.
I
speake
not
this
vpon
coniecture
,
but
vpon
certaintie
which
I
know
to
be
true
,
partly
vpon
my
owne
obseruation
,
and
partly
vpon
conference
which
I
haue
had
with
diuers
Woodwards
and
Baylifes
in
my
late
circuit
Northward
for
Suruey
and
sale
of
some
of
his
Maiesties
Woods
.
And
now
I
pray
what
hurt
haue
I
said
against
Woodwards
,
Keepers
,
or
other
Officers
belonging
to
Woods
?
Nay
,
haue
I
not
to
the
contrarie
,
spoken
with
good
indifferencie
betweene
the
King
and
them
?
Ienings
.
Indeed
you
haue
now
made
some
amends
,
and
I
conceiue
better
of
you
for
your
plaine
speeches
,
then
I
did
at
the
first
:
For
to
tell
you
true
,
most
of
you
Surueyors
are
odious
to
Farmers
.
Suruey
.
As
I
will
not
endeuour
to
approoue
all
Surneyors
honest
men
,
so
I
would
not
haue
honest
and
discreete
Surueyors
condemned
,
but
as
they
are
so
I
leaue
them
.
But
now
againe
to
our
Planting
,
wherein
wee
haue
somewhat
(
though
not
altogether
vnnecessarily
)
digressed
.
I
told
you
before
,
that
it
is
fit
to
prune
●ong
Plants
vntill
three
or
foure
yeares
after
they
are
Planted
,
and
also
after
,
if
you
see
cause
and
this
pruning
must
Pe.
Now
trust
me
your
discourse
of
Planting
is
verie
pleasing
,
and
happily
may
proue
very
profitable
;
and
I
pray
giue
me
leaue
also
to
adde
one
other
benefit
thereunto
,
which
is
,
that
by
this
manner
of
husbandry
,
poore
men
shall
now
and
then
helpe
themselues
by
earning
a
peny
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
and
they
may
also
,
when
Wood
is
growne
to
be
more
plentiful
,
keep
better
fires
,
with
much
lesse
cost
,
and
your
Hedges
are
like
to
stand
longer
.
Wood.
But
I
pray
what
circuite
or
quantitie
would
you
haue
this
peece
of
ground
to
be
which
should
be
thus
planted
.
Sur.
Because
it
should
not
séeme
tedious
or
chargeable
to
the
vndertakers
of
this
good
worke
.
I
would
wish
it
were
not
aboue
eight
or
ten
Acres
more
or
lesse
,
according
as
the
parties
ability
&
desire
is
to
haue
it
,
&
that
either
to
be
within
one
hedge
,
or
else
in
seuerall
,
little
,
and
conuenient
places
about
the
ground
,
for
be
it
great
or
little
,
when
they
once
begin
this
worke
,
they
will
haue
as
great
desire
and
pleasure
in
séeing
of
it
kindly
to
prosper
and
grow
,
as
they
haue
in
their
Hoppe
grounds
,
or
rather
much
more
.
For
though
Hops
do
now
&
then
yéeld
a
good
commoditie
,
yet
in
respect
of
the
continuall
great
charge
of
them
,
&
vncertaintie
of
the
yéere
,
I
haue
known
many
a
man
,
who
haue
giuen
ouer
planting
of
them
;
which
is
not
so
in
this
course
of
planting
trees
:
for
after
the
first
thrée
or
foure
yeares
charge
and
labour
,
there
is
then
no
more
to
be
done
to
them
,
or
at
least
very
little
,
but
onely
a
diligent
care
to
bee
had
in
preseruing
of
what
is
already
well
done
,
and
which
will
alwayes
remaine
to
posteriti●
.
Ie.
I
now
begin
to
like
your
discourse
well
of
Planting
trées
,
according
as
you
haue
said
:
and
I
thinke
it
were
also
very
fit
to
Plant
in
Hedgrowes
,
and
so
quickset
euery
ditch
,
where
already
are
none
,
or
perhaps
but
thinne
Hedges
of
boughes
,
or
bushes
;
for
this
once
well
done
,
they
would
sufficiently
strengthen
one
another
,
hee
a
great
sauing
of
Wood
,
and
also
be
a
Fence
to
the
worlds
end
,
and
we
frée
from
hauing
our
Hedges
broken
downe
;
the
repayring
of
which
,
is
daily
a
charge
to
vs
,
and
many
times
bréedes
much
discontent
and
suite
betwéene
neighbours
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
and
therefore
I
maruaile
at
those
Landlords
,
who
doe
graunt
many
Estates
either
for
liues
or
yéeres
of
their
Land
,
doe
not
condition
with
such
persons
to
Plant
trées
and
Quickset
ditches
in
connenient
places
of
the
Farme
so
graunted
,
and
especially
in
Champian
Countries
where
Wood
is
scarce
.
And
also
it
were
most
necessarie
that
when
the
Lord
felleth
any
Timber
trées
in
his
Farme
or
demeane
Lands
,
that
he
doe
for
euery
trée
so
felled
,
cause
to
be
set
thrée
or
foure
yong
Plants
fit
and
likely
to
proue
to
be
Timber
,
in
stéede
thereof
,
which
course
would
not
be
s●
chargeable
as
profitable
.
For
by
this
meanes
also
we
should
haue
Wood
and
Timber
perpetually
without
want
.
Pe.
You
say
well
,
if
Tenants
would
be
carefull
therein
to
sée
them
prosper
:
and
for
my
part
I
intend
to
make
triall
thereof
vpon
the
next
Farme
which
falleth
to
me
.
But
now
Sir
,
that
you
haue
thus
probably
spoken
of
Planting
yong
trées
,
I
would
desire
you
if
you
please
,
to
begin
to
speake
somewhat
of
sowing
Acornes
,
Chesnuts
,
Béechmast
,
&c.
For
if
you
speake
with
that
good
likelyhood
of
the
one
,
as
you
haue
done
of
the
other
,
I
sée
no
reason
to
the
contrarie
,
if
men
would
apply
themselues
hereunto
,
and
be
industrious
,
but
that
we
might
in
very
few
yéeres
haue
the
whole
Realm
sufficiently
furnished
with
Wood
,
to
serue
our selues
and
posteritie
for
euer
.
Sur.
No
question
but
it
would
be
so
,
if
men
would
not
altogether
be
so
slacke
in
their
owne
profit
of
this
nature
,
but
that
they
would
bee
pleased
to
plant
yearely
one
hundred
or
two
hundred
of
young
trées
,
more
or
lesse
,
and
that
for
foure
or
fiue
yeares
together
,
in
conuenient
places
about
their
grounds
(
the
charge
of
which
would
not
be
so
much
,
as
the
profit
thereof
would
bee
pleasing
and
commodious
)
they
should
then
bee
their
owne
Iudges
to
consider
,
whether
it
were
profitable
or
no
:
to
which
I
will
leaue
them
,
and
will
now
,
if
you
please
,
speake
a
little
of
sowing
Acornes
,
Chesnuts
,
Béechmaste
,
and
Ashen
keyes

Wood.
I
pray
doe
;
for
hetherunto
you
haue
spoken
well
of
planting
,
and
I
long
to
heare
an
end
of
your
opinion
in
this
kind
.
Sur.
Sir
,
most
willingly
,
and
I
will
now
begin
to
satisfie
your
desire
.
You
must
then
first
let
your
ground
be
of
a
good
and
fertile
soyle
,
neither
too
wet
,
drie
,
or
barren
,
and
that
it
be
Aries
,
Taurus
,
Cancer
,
Libra
,
Capricorne
,
Aquarius
,
or
Pisces
:
and
the
best
time
to
gather
your
Acornes
for
kéeping
and
sowing
of
them
is
in
October
.
And
after
they
are
thus
set
in
the
ground
▪
let
them
then
be
watered
●uening
and
〈◊〉
,
it
conueniently
you
can
,
and
that
there
be
〈◊〉
thereof
.
And
also
be
carefull
,
that
the
Birds
and
Crowes
be
kept
away
from
eating
the
seed
or
yong
sprigges
which
grow
vp
:
and
these
séedes
when
they
are
come
vp
and
growne
to
be
trées
,
will
bee
more
high
and
tall
(
by
reason
they
haue
alwaies
the
full
height
of
their
tops
)
than
your
Plant
,
that
is
thus
set
as
aforesaid
,
because
his
top
at
the
setting
or
planting
thereof
,
is
cut
●●f
.
Some
men
also
doe
vse
to
sow
Acornes
,
Chesnuts
,
&c.
(
as
they
ca●
it
)
vnder
●urrough
with
the
hand
,
as
you
do
ca●e
,
and
which
also
is
good
:
both
which
sorts
of
setting
and
s●wing
the
Acorne
I
will
leaue
to
your
practise
.
Wood.
But
I
ma●uaile
why
you
would
haue
such
good
ground
,
charge
,
&
paines
bestowed
thereon
,
for
the
planting
of
your
Oake
,
considering
that
it
is
not
vnknowne
to
you
,
that
a●●●ll
in
this
,
as
many
other
Counties
of
England
,
Sur.
The
reason
why
trées
grow
vpon
Rockie
grounds
,
as
I
conceiue
,
is
this
:
Your
Rockes
or
Mountaines
that
bring
forth
great
trées
,
it
is
to
be
intended
,
that
they
are
not
firme
or
solide
,
but
haue
many
veines
in
them
,
where
the
verie
heart
and
mother
of
the
soyle
lyeth
,
and
where
happily
such
trées
doe
chaunce
to
grow
,
by
being
either
planted
or
●owne
of
Acornes
,
there
with●●t
all
doubt
they
will
as
well
encrease
and
fructifie
,
as
vpon
any
other
●oyle
whatsoeuer
,
because
in
th●se
veines
the
whole
nourishment
of
the
soyle
doth
more
abundantly
ascend
vp
and
féede
the
trée
,
th●n
it
doth
in
any
open
fertile
grounds
.
And
I
can
giue
you
an
instance
thereof
by
Vines
growing
along
the
Riuer
of
Rhine
vpon
the
sides
of
Rockes
,
where
those
countrey
people
doe
more
estéeme
such
a
Vine
garden
,
both
for
quantitie
&
goodnesse
of
the
grape
,
than
they
doe
a
garden
planted
in
a
large
and
battable
ground
:
yet
though
we
sée
s●me
rock●e
grounds
to
beare
large
trées
,
I
would
not
aduise
any
to
bestow
much
cost
in
planting
them
vpon
such
hard
and
desperate
aduentures
,
though
yet
not
amisse
to
trie
conclusions
,
how
or
whether
they
will
there
prosper
or
no.
Pereg.
Sir
,
I
commend
your
reasons
why
trées
doe
grow
vpon
Rockie
grounds
,
but
your
opinion
concerning
the
distance
of
setting
Acornes
I
cannot
approue
,
because
you
allow
but
one
foot
distance
betwéene
euerie
Acorne
thus
set
,
which
I
thinke
too
little
by
much
:
for
considering
that
when
they
are
growne
vp
to
bee
trées
,
the
longer
they
grow
,
the
greater
they
will
be
,
so
that
in
the
end
there
will
bee
no
legges
to
beare
these
bodies
,
I
meane
all
the
ground
will
be
trées
.
Sur.
You
say
well
:
for
if
there
were
no
larger
distance
allowed
for
the
setting
of
them
than
one
square
foot
,
the
ground
indéed
would
not
bee
able
to
beare
them
:
therefore
as
you
leaue
longstwayes
but
one
foot
distance
,
so
also
sidewayes
you
shall
leaue
fiue
or
six
féet
,
which
will
be
distance
sufficient
:
and
yet
notwithstanding
that
distance
,
if
all
of
them
doe
not
prosper
well
,
and
grow
straight
and
séemely
when
they
are
come
vp
(
as
perhaps
many
of
them
will
not
doe
)
you
may
then
make
a
culling
of
the
most
vnhandsomest
of
them
,
from
the
other
of
finer
and
●eater
growth
,
and
then
those
remaining
,
the
greater
they
grow
,
the
better
they
will
prosper
.
And
this
Garden
or
Nurcerie
thus
made
,
you
may
,
when
they
are
growne
to
thrée
foot
high
,
remoue
of
them
how
many
you
please
,
and
to
what
other
conuenient
place
about
your
ground
you
thinke
fit
;
and
begin
to
remoue
them
from
the
change
to
the
full
,
or
in
the
last
quarter
of
the
Moone
,
she
Ien.
This
is
spoken
to
great
reason
:
for
there
is
no
question
but
if
you
remoue
your
young
plants
to
a
firtler
soyle
,
they
will
in
short
time
●reatly
aduance
themselues
in
their
growth
:
and
if
we
did
not
in
liue
sort
trium●e
and
dresse
our
Hoppes
,
by
pulling
away
sprigges
and
rootes
,
which
superfluously
grow
out
of
them
,
and
also
put
shéepe
into
our
wheat
grounds
which
grow
too
ranke
,
to
eat
it
downe
,
wee
should
haue
as
bad
Hoppes
as
Corne
,
and
little
profit
should
wee
haue
by
either
:
so
that
this
course
of
husbanding
yong
plants
must
néedes
be
very
good
.
Sur.
You
are
likewise
to
consider
,
to
set
wéeders
on
worke
,
that
the
séedes
be
not
smothered
by
wéedes
,
nor
that
the
ayre
,
Ien.
You
say
true
:
for
as
I
said
before
of
Hoppes
and
Corne
,
if
they
be
not
in
their
kinds
well
pruned
,
husbanded
,
and
wéeded
,
in
faith
we
were
like
to
haue
poore
Croppes
,
and
therefore
wéeding
of
these
séedes
and
young
sprigges
newly
come
vp
,
must
needes
be
most
excellent
for
their
better
prospering
.
Sur.
These
trees
and
seedes
thus
let
,
you
must
be
carefull
that
the
ground
be
well
fenced
,
that
no
manner
of
cattell
Pe.
It
is
very
true
:
for
we
were
much
better
to
employ
vacant
places
and
Ga●les
in
Springs
and
woodie
grounds
,
and
in
Hedgrowes
to
some
good
profit
,
then
to
let
them
li●
and
be
nurceries
for
weedes
and
trash
without
any
conundditie
.
And
surely
this
course
of
setting
or
sowing
Acornes
is
very
necessarie
for
those
who
dwell
in
Champian
Countries
,
and
can
hardly
come
by
any
Plants
either
for
loue
or
money
,
and
I
doe
much
wonder
that
men
of
good
woorth
,
and
also
Farmers
&
Husbandmen
,
where
Wood
is

Ie.
Sir
it
is
no
wonder
.
For
men
of
worth
haue
commonby
a
good
Spring
wheresoeuer
they
goe
,
I
meane
,
their
purses
are
well
and
thickly
set
with
Crownes
,
so
that
they
may
at
all
times
kéepe
good
firing
.
And
as
for
the
poore
Tenant
,
I
haue
giuen
a
sufficient
reason
before
,
why
he
is
vnwilling
to
bestow
that
labour
and
cost
:
and
M.
Surueyour
,
I
thanke
him
,
d●●
approue
my
reason
to
be
good
and
honest
.
Sur.
In
deede
you
speake
to
good
purpose
,
and
I
could
wish
that
many
Land-lords
were
better
respectiue
of
their
poore
T●●ants
,
aswell
for
the
Land-lords
owne
profit
and
honour
,
as
for
the
Tenants
better
reliefe
of
himselfe
and
family
.
Ie.
God
I
giue
him
thankes
that
I
heare
a
man
of
your
prefessi●●s
so
charitably
affected
towards
poore
men
,
for
I
did
surely
agree
with
the
common
opinion
,
you
all
were
great
enemies
to
vs
poore
Farmers
;
but
now
vpon
better
consideration
I
sée
it
otherwise
:
But
well
,
I
pray
proceede
.
Sur.
A
〈◊〉
might
likewise
answere
you
,
according
to
common
opinion
,
that
all
Farmers
desire
to
conceale
th●
quantitie
,
qualitie
,
and
value
of
their
Farmes
from
the
knowledge
of
the
Lord
:
yet
I
am
not
of
that
opinion
,
but
thinke
the
contrarie
,
that
all
honest
Farmers
will
truely
certifie
the
Lord
the
truth
of
euery
the
former
particulars
.
But
lea●ing
euery
man
to
his
own
conscience
▪
let
vs
againe
returne
to
the
subiect
of
our
discourse
.
The
place
&
ground
thus
fenced
,
and
the
Spring
now
growen
to
ten
or
twelue
yeares
of
age
,
both
pleasure
and
profit
will
now
begin
apace
to
come
on
.
And
first
for
the
pleasure
thereof
,
it
greatly
Wood.
The
pleasure
&
profit
no
doubt
of
such
a
Spring
,
is
very
great
,
but
I
pray
what
number
of
Standils
for
Timber
trées
are
to
be
left
vpon
euery
Acre
at
the
time
of
f●lling
the
Spring
?
Sur.
As
I
intend
not
now
to
speake
of
the
whole
course
of
the
Statutes
concerning
Wood
,
yet
I
would
bee
glad
to
satisfie
you
in
any
thing
I
can
:
therefore
you
shall
vnderstand
that
euery
Spring
so
felled
,
the
Owners
or
buyers
thereof
are
bound
by
Statute
,
to
leaue
twelue
yong
Trees
,
commonly
called
Standils
for
Timber
trees
,
vpon
euery
Acre
,
which
Standils
must
not
be
afterward
felled
,
vntill
they
are
growen
to
bee
ten
ynches
square
within
thrée
foote
Wood.
Your
aduise
herein
is
good
,
for
as
the
Plant
is
,
so
is
the
Tree
like
to
proue
:
and
I
perceiue
,
the
ground
which
beareth
Wood
,
considering
the
great
pleasure
,
profit
,
Sur.
You
say
well
,
but
if
any
difference
be
in
the
profit
of
them
,
I
thinke
it
rather
in
the
Wood-ground
,
especially
if
it
be
husbanded
and
preserued
accordingly
as
I
haue
said
,
and
that
the
vent
for
Wood
where
it
groweth
be
deare
:
For
it
is
true
,
that
though
the
profit
of
Woods
be
longer
in
comming
to
a
mans
purse
,
then
Corne
or
Hops
are
,
yet
in
the
end
it
maketh
a
double
recompence
,
because
the
first
three
or
foure
yeares
charge
once
defrayed
,
nature
then
of
it selfe
,
without
further
charge
or
labour
,
will
abundantly
bring
forth
the
Crop
:
which
is
not
so
in
Corne
or
Hop
grounds
,
because
they
beare
not
without
continuall
charge
of
Tillage
,
Hop-poles
,
digging
and
deluing
,
seruants
,
and
good
husbandrie
.
But
now
if
you
please
I
will
begin
to
draw
to
an
end
,
wherein
I
haue
béene
the
more
prolixe
to
set
downe
the
course
of
Planting
yong
Trées
,
and
sowing
Acornes
,
as
also
in
speaking
somewhat
of
the
pleasure
and
profit
which
commeth
by
Woods
,
to
the
end
that
those
who
are
industrious
,
may
hereby
be
the
rather
encouraged
to
begin
and
procéede
in
this
profitable
course
;
and
let
none
euer
thinke
the
time
large
in
reaping
profit
hereby
,
but
let
them
be
sorie
that
they
haue
lost
so
much
time
,
because
they
Planted
and
Sowed
no
sooner
.
And
note
,
that
all
Timber
trées
which
grow
vpon
high
grounds
,
though
they
will
not
be
so
large

THE
SECOND
PART
,
Discoursing
of
the
Commodities
and
Discommodities
of
inclosing
decayed
Forrests
,
Commons
,
and
Wast
grounds
.
Peregrine
.
MAster
Surueyor
,
you
haue
formerly
spoken
so
well
of
planting
and
sowing
in
this
kind
,
as
I
long
to
heare
your
opinion
concerning
the
differences
and
qualities
of
Trées
,
that
hereby
we
might
compose
of
this
our
Discourse
some
ample
introduction
to
this
your
new
kind
of
Husbandrie
.
And
the
rather
most
abundantly
to
aduance
this
kind
of
thrift
by
planting
of
trées
,
and
sowing
of
their
séedes
for
encrease
of
Timber
and
Fuell
,
or
rather
to
haue
it
linked
with
a
benefit
equalling
,
or
farre
excéeding
it
in
a
generall
profit
,
I
should
thinke
it
not
amisse
,
that
decayed
Ien.
Sir
,
your
memorie
is
good
,
and
it
is
true
that
I
spake
of
quicksetting
and
planting
ditches
about
a
Farme
or
Demeane
grounds
,
but
not
to
haue
decaied
Forests
,
Commons
,
or
Wast
grounds
inclosed
:
for
hereby
the
King
should
bee
greatly
scanted
in
his
pleasure
,
euery
man
wronged
,
the
poore
generally
be
vndone
▪
and
all
would
be
in
an
vprore
.
Pereg.
That
is
but
as
you
conceiue
it
:
for
it
is
not
intended
that
any
Forests
should
bee
inclosed
where
is
store
of
Game
,
or
néere
to
any
place
where
vsually
his
Maiestie
maketh
any
progresse
for
his
pleasure
,
but
I
would
haue
onely
such
decayed
Forests
inclosed
which
haue
few
or
no
Déere
in
them
,
and
which
are
farre
remote
from
any
such
his
Highnesse
places
of
progresse
or
pleasure
,
and
which
also
are
a
charge
to
his
Maiestie
,
by
paying
officers
their
fées
,
and
yet
neither
profit
or
pleasure
commeth
by
them
.
And
though
this
name
of
inclosing
and
taking
in
of
Commons
and
wast
grounds
be
odious
to
the
Communaltie
,
and
therefore
may
séeme
dangerous
,
yet
if
they
did
rightly
apprehend
it
,
that
as
well
the
rich
as
the
poore
might
reape
a
generall
good
hereby
(
as
most
assuredly
they
would
)
no
doubt
they
would
vniformely
importune
,
that
all
such
decaied
Forests
,
Commons
,
and
Wast
grounds
might
be
taken
in
.
Ien.
Yea
,
when
there
is
any
apparance
of
such
a
generall
benefit
,
then
it
is
likely
they
will
yéeld
thereunto
,
but
in
my
opinion
there
is
neither
benefit
or
conscience
to
be
expected
hereby
.
Sur.
Nay
there
you
speake
somewhat
too
vnaduisedly
:
for
Wood.
Yet
by
your
fauor
M.
Surueyor
this
plaine
Farmer
in
my
opinion
hath
spoken
honestly
:
for
if
your
Common
be
taken
away
,
how
shall
the
poore
Farmer
and
Cottager
liue
?
Or
shall
they
not
rather
,
by
being
thrust
out
of
it
,
both
themselues
and
whole
familie
liue
in
extreame
penuri●
and
famine
?
Sur.
It
is
true
,
that
the
poore
inhabitants
of
such
a
Common
would
be
much
impou●rished
,
if
they
should
be
wholly
abridged
thereof
,
which
God
forbid
.
But
by
inclosing
decayed
Pereg.
It
is
so
:
for
who
doubteth
,
that
if
any
such
Forest
,
Common
,
or
Wast
ground
were
inclosed
,
but
that
they
would
plentifully
yéeld
a
treble
benefit
:
euery
one
should
Ien.
You
haue
spoken
well
and
briefely
in
commendation
of
this
vnpleasing
worke
,
if
euery
one
would
applaud
it
.
But
Sir
,
because
you
néerely
touch
my
poore
liuing
(
a
great
profit
whereof
is
in
respect
of
the
Common
)
you
must
giue
me
leaue
as
briefely
as
I
can
to
answer
you
.
And
therefore
Wood.
How
now
Master
Peregrine
,
I
thinke
our
honest
Farmer
hath
reasonably
well
answered
you
:
to
which
I
will
adde
one
other
especiall
motiue
for
the
not
enclosing
of
Commons
:
and
that
is
,
that
by
this
kind
of
depression
it
will
mightily
vrge
the
people
to
a
tumult
,
as
hath
often
been
seene
,
and
that
namely
by
the
late
Leuellers
in
Northampton
shire
.
Sur.
Master
Woodward
,
the
Farmer
hath
spoken
well
according
Ien.
Indeed
I
must
now
confesse
you
haue
satisfied
mee
with
better
reasons
than
I
did
euer
heretofore
dreame
of
.
But
yet
Sir
I
pray
giue
mee
leaue
(
a
little
by
the
way
)
after
all
your
discourse
of
inclosing
,
now
to
fall
to
disclosing
;
I
meane
not
leuelling
or
pulling
downe
of
Ditches
or
Hedges
,
but
somewhat
more
amply
to
disclose
to
you
the
true
state
and
dislike
of
vs
Husband-men
and
Farmers
,
concerning
this
point
of
taking
in
waste
grounds
.
It
is
true
,
and
cannot
bee
denied
,
that
which
you
say
,
of
the
benefits
of
inclosed
Counties
,
if
they
bee
compared
with
champaine
and
open
Counties
,
for
which
wee
need
no
further
proofes
,
than
to
compare
Rent
,
Essex
,
Suffolke
,
Middlesex
,
Hartford-shire
,
Hereford-shire
,
and
diuers
other
Counties
and
particular
places
▪
with
those
of
Buckingham
,
Oxford
,
Northampton
,
Cambridge
,
Lincolne
,
Rutland
,
and
sundrie
others
;
what
plentie
of
all
thinges
most
necessarie
for
sustenance
of
life
(
farre
aboue
other
Counties
)
are
in
those
inclosed
Counties
,
is
so
infallible
a
truth
,
as
it
cannot
be
denied
:
and
the
reason
is
,
the
agilitie
and
industrie
of
man
(
concurring
with
Gods
grace
)
from
whence
ensueth
abundance
and
plentie
of
all
thinges
.
But
hence
(
alas
)
is
our
miserie
,
when
inclosures
once
bee
made
,
straight
waies
some
,
yea
very
many
mercilesse
Landlords
,
that
estéeme
it
best
to
liue
Lordlike
,
doe
péecemeale
ingrosse
and
resume
such
Inclosures
,
and
expell
their
poore
tenants
,
leauing
them
in
wofull
state
,
either
to
begge
,
steale
,
or
starue
.
This
in
my
opinion
is
not
onely
now
,
but
still
like
to
be
,
the
very
Gangrene
of
Inclosures
.
I
must
confesse
that
Sur.
You
haue
spoken
herein
as
much
as
possibly
can
bee
said
,
to
which
alreadie
sufficient
is
answered
:
and
for
the
managing
of
this
businesse
,
there
is
no
difficultie
in
it
at
all
,
in
giuing
good
satisfaction
to
euery
one
,
both
for
conuenient
and
seuerall
Closes
,
as
also
for
commodious
highwayes
and
passages
for
the
good
and
ease
of
the
countrey
,
as
formerly
hath
béene
discoursed
of
.
But
let
vs
now
close
vp
this
our
inclosing
Discourse
,
and
happily
expect
by
a
generall
consent
and
applaud
of
euery
one
the
practising
thereof
,
which
in
my
opinion
would
be
the
greatest
benefit
that
hath
come
to
our
countrey
these
many
yeares
,
and
let
vs
now
againe
returne
to
our
Planting
.
Wood.
Sir
,
though
you
haue
made
a
long
discourse
of
inclosing
Commons
and
wast
grounds
(
to
which
argument
this
our
good
Farmer
Ienings
hath
added
,
in
his
opinion
,
the
true
reasons
why
it
is
to
be
feared
and
hated
of
the
Communaltie
)
yet
it
hath
béene
very
pleasing
,
and
you
haue
also
conceiued
good
considerations
to
approue
your
opinion
;
and
if
the
actors
of
this
businesse
could
with
that
indifferencie
manage
these
affaires
accordingly
as
you
haue
spoken
,
I
sée
no
cause
to
the
contrarie
,
but
that
it
might
be
generally
desired
of
all
Commoners
.
But
yet
Master
Surueyor
there
is
one
Sur.
Master
Woodward
,
you
haue
put
me
to
the
narrowest
pinch
that
yet
I
was
driuen
vnto
,
and
I
maruaile
you
did
not
speake
of
this
difficultie
before
,
but
suffered
me
quietly
to
runne
on
,
as
though
you
had
béene
well
satisfied
,
and
yet
now
suddainely
doe
pull
me
backe
,
as
men
doe
wilde
Colts
,
giuing
them
a
little
libertie
,
and
with
a
suddaine
ierke
giues
them
a
twitch
readie
to
ouerthrow
,
when
thinking
themselues
frée
,
they
little
expected
such
a
checke
.
Wood.
Sir
it
is
true
,
I
was
content
of
purpose
to
let
you
runne
on
in
your
owne
conceits
,
vntill
I
saw
you
,
in
a
manner
,
fully
to
determine
it
.
But
for
that
I
sée
it
concerneth
my
poore
neighbors
so
much
,
and
generally
most
Commoners
,
I
then
thought
it
fitting
to
put
you
to
your
greatest
plunge
by
this
my
last
refuge
,
and
greatest
difficultie
:
which
if
you
can
deuise
to
solue
,
or
make
any
probable
or
satisfactorie
answer
,
I
will
then
say
,
you
haue
brought
the
matter
to
an
excellent
conclusion
.
Sur.
Well
Sir
,
although
this
your
in●ricate
point
,
which
you
haue
now
moued
,
be
of
most
difficultie
,
yet
you
shall
now
perceiue
I
will
easily
resolue
you
of
it
.
For
it
was
my
Wood.
Sir
,
I
must
confesse
you
haue
giyen
me
very
good
satis●action
,
and
most
effectually
haue
you
deliuered
your
opinion
herein
.
And
truly
,
if
euery
Tenant
might
(
the
inferies
or
contents
of
his
Farme
considered
)
with
an
indifferent
or
rather
liberall
allowance
,
beset
out
Inclosures
of
decayed
Forests
,
Commons
,
and
Wast
grounds
,
as
wee
haue
spoken
of
,
that
as
well
for
his
Milc●
Kine
,
young
Cattell
,
Oxen
and
Shéepe
;
as
with
any
pr
〈…〉
ion
or
reason
(
the
rest
of
his
fellow
Communers
considered
)
might
suffice
and
agrée
with
the
quantitie
of
his
Farme
and
Rent
there
were
then
great
probabilitie
and
hope
of
effecting
what
you
speake
of
.
But
alas
the
sinne
of
Couetousnesse
doth
so
much
possesse
these
kind
of
people
,
as
they
thinke
the
libertie
of
their
whole
Common
,
sans
number
,
too
little
for
them
,
and
therefore
can
hardly
endure
to
heare
of
any
abridgement
,
or
withdrawing
any
part
thereof
;
when
yet
vpon
proportions
cast
,
allowed
,
and
ratified
at
a
very
easie
rate
,
and
that
for
many
yeares
,
with
a
dayly
and
more
encrease
of
profit
,
together
with
a
liberall
proportion
allotted
them
for
all
the
sorts
of
their
Cattell
which
their
Farmes
are
able
to
maintaine
and
beare
,
or
that
they
can
any
way
desire
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
they
also
sée
a
resulting
Surplage
remaining
,
then
happily
they
may
séeme
more
tractable
and
willing
,
that
any
who
haue
right
to
such
Wast
grounds
,
should
dispose
of
them
as
they
please

diuers

Woodward
.
MAster
Surueyor
,
wee
lest
as
I
remember
,
about
the
differences
of
some
seuerall
Trées
for
Timber
,
and
what
ground
is
most
apt
for
them
to
prosper
in
:
and
also
some
Rules
concerning
how
to
take
the
content
of
any
Timber
trée
,
standing
or
growing
vpon
the
ground
,
which
is
a
thing
that
will
be
much
pleasing
and
helping
to
vs
Woodwards
,
who
are
none
of
the
ingeniousest
men
in
that
facultie
,
but
we
are
onely
content
to
obserue
the
ordinarie
custome
of
looking
to
the
Wood
,
by
presenting
at
the
next
Court
day
or
Swanimote
Court
those
who
offend
by
purloyning
of
Trées
,
hacking
of
Boughes
and
Standils
,
and
carrying
them
away
:
But
when
wee
are
demaunded
,
how
many
Tunne
,
Load
,
or
square
féet
of
Timber
is
contained
in
such
a
Timber
trée
(
which
I
thinke
fit
that
euerie
Woodward
should
know
)
we
must
then
answere
with
silence
,
or
make
some
sléeuelesse
reply
,
and
so
passe
it
ouer
to
other
talke
.
Sur.
In
déeds
I
thinke
many
of
you
are
so
skilfull
therein
,
as
many
be
who
are
Surueyours
of
Counties
by
Patent
,
for
which
they
haue
more
fée
then
knowledge
to
discharge
that
Office
.
But
it
is
fit
that
Woodwards
,
should
haue
some
skill
and
vnderstanding
in
the
measuring
of
these
Sollid
bodies
,
or
else
how
can
they
sufficiently
discharge
that
trust
and
credit
which
is
reposed
in
them
;
when
a
Warrant
is
directed
to
them
for
the
felling
and
deliuerie
of
a
hundred
Tunnes
or
Loades
more
or
lesse
of
Timber
for
repaire
of
Bridges
,
Parke-pales
,
Houses
,
&c.
And
when
perhaps
they
neuer
know
how
many
square
féete
make
a
Tunne
or
Load
of
Timber
,
nor
yet
how
many
Trées
,
they
must
cause
to
bee
felled
to
haue
as
néere
as
may
be
,
the
number
of
Tunnes
or
Loades
specified
in
their
Warrant
,
but
cuts
downe
at
an
aduenture
perhaps
ten
or
twelue
Tunne
or
Load
,
more
or
lesse
,
then
they
had
Warrant
for
,
which
is
a
grosse
errour

Wood.
In
déede
most
of
vs
haue
little
or
no
skill
in
measuring
of
Timber
trées
,
but
as
you
say
,
we
must
take
them
at
all
aduentures
,
as
néere
the
number
specified
in
our
Warrant
as
we
can
.
But
I
pray
Sir
,
are
there
not
men
of
your
profession
,
who
passe
ouer
as
grosse
and
witting
errours
in
Surueying
,
which
iustly
a
man
may
terme
abuses
,
partly
,
as
I
conceiue
,
out
of
ignorance
,
and
partly
out
of
dishonestie
?
Sur.
No
doubt
there
are
some
such
indéede
,
yet
we
must
not
iustifie
our
owne
errors
by
other
mens
misdemeanours
,
but
those
Surueyours
would
I
haue
giue
ouer
Surueying
and
séeke
to
bee
entertained
into
the
societie
of
those
idl●
Catchpoles
you
spake
off
euen
now
,
and
if
I
saw
cause
,
I
could
instance
such
a
one
,
but
I
will
be
sparing
therein
,
and
onely
tell
you
,
that
the
manner
of
his
Surueyes
were
alwayes
vpon
Tenants
reports
,
and
taking
some
notes
out
of
their
Leases
and
Coppies
,
and
giuing
of
the
Iurie
certaine
Articles
in
charge
to
be
enquired
of
.
Pe.
But
did
he
not
also
by
Instrument
and
Cheine
,
as
commonly
you
doe
,
Suruey
and
measure
the
ground
?
Sur.
No
,
for
indéede
hee
knew
not
the
vse
of
any
Surueying
Instrument
.
Pe.
But
doe
you
thinke
the
Tenants
would
or
could
truely
deliuer
their
knowledge
herein
,
concerning
the
qualitie
,
quantitie
,
and
value
of
their
Land
,
with
the
rest
of
the
particulars
?
Sur.
Truely
I
thinke
no
,
though
euery
man
in
honestie
is
bound
vpon
Oath
to
tell
the
truth
of
any
thing
,
when
he
is
lawfully
demaunded
thereof
,
as
néere
as
he
can
,
yet
for
that
they
conceiued
these
questions
néerely
concerued
their
estates
,
and
for
that
also
they
law
the
Surueyour
to
bee
vnexperienced
,
in
that
kind
of
measuring
and
duely
Surueying
of
lands
,
it
is
to
be
imagined
that
they
would
somewhat
dissemble
with
him
therein
,
and
acquainte
him
with
no
more
then
ordinarie
▪
and
so
altogether
vpon
the
tenants
reports
,
aswell
for
the
quantitie
and
qualitie
,
as
value
of
their
land
,
he
would
conclude
,
and
at
his
good
leisure
make
vp
his
bookes
.
Per.
This
is
the
strangest
kinde
of
Surueying
that
euer
I
heard
of
;
but
would
he
then
vpon
his
credit
giue
vp
this
Suruey
to
the
Lord
of
the
Manor
?
Sur.
Yes
that
he
would
,
according
to
the
Tenants
reports
by
oath
:
and
diuers
hath
he
done
in
this
kinde
.
Per.
But
I
pray
if
the
Lord
sell
or
let
this
Manor
,
do
you
not
thinke
,
according
to
that
Suruey
,
but
that
he
should
be
a
great
looser
thereby
?
Sur.
Yes
,
there
is
no
doubt
,
but
that
he
must
loose
much
thereby
:
but
I
trow
there
is
no
man
so
vnaduised
that
will
sell
or
let
land
in
th●se
daies
after
such
a
fashion
,
but
will
make
a
more
precise
course
by
admeasurement
,
performed
by
a
skilfull
man
in
that
facultie
.
Ien.
And
I
pray
,
why
may
not
one
buy
or
sell
land
,
as
certainly
by
knowing
what
Cattle
a
Ferme
or
Demaines
will
kéepe
,
as
also
how
many
load
of
hay
such
a
Meadow
will
yéeld
vpon
euery
acre
,
as
by
all
your
nice
tricks
of
measuring
.
Sur.
You
say
well
,
it
is
a
good
meanes
in
generall
to
know
the
value
of
any
land
,
but
yet
how
shall
the
Lord
or
buyer
thereof
who
dwel
farre
remote
from
it
,
know
certainly
how
many
cattle
it
will
kéepe
?
If
you
say
by
his
Baylife
,
commonly
he
being
his
Tenant
,
and
dwelling
in
the
same
Lordship
will
for
his
owne
good
imbrace
the
true
value
of
these
demeasne
,
because
the
goodnesse
of
his
owne
farme
shall
the
lesse
be
discerued
:
if
you
say
by
the
report
of
the
countrey
,
they
commonly
faile
in
their
estimation
,
as
well
in
the
quantitie
and
qualitie
of
the
ground
,
as
also
in
the
number
of
cattle
,
what
it
will
kéepe
▪
and
neither
shall
the
Lord
(
if
he
be
a
stranger
to
this
Demeanes
)
receiue
any
better
satisfaction
,
although
he
take
paines
to
enquire
thereof
Per.
You
say
true
.
For
my selfe
being
of
some
small
●euenew
in
land
,
I
haue
two
or
three
of
my
Manors
surueyed
,
and
the
plots
of

fairely
set
forth
in
colours
vpon

distinctly
sp●●ifying
which
is

with
the
quantitie

qualitie

and
value
thereof
,
with
euerie
other

there
fitting
to
be
noted
,
which
I
finde
to
be
a
great
satisfaction

pleasure
,
and

to

,
especially
when
I
am
to

any

M●●or●
because
they

But
whether
now
do
we
range
.
You
promised
to
speake
somewhat
of
the
difference
of
trées
,
and
what
grounds
were
most
apt
for
them
to
prosper
in
,
therefore
I
pray
leaue
off
these
discourses
vntill
some
other
time
,
and
begin
now
your
promise
.
Sur.
Sir
,
most
willingly
:
you
remember
then
what
I
haue
spoken
concerning
the
manner
and
time
to
be
obserued
as
well
in
planting
of
Trees
for
Timber
,
and
husbanding
the
ground
,
as
also
in
making
special
choice
of
the
Plant
,
and
the
care
of
weeding
and
trimming
them
afterwards
,
vntill
they
are
growne
to
the
age
of
thrée
or
foure
yeares
:
which
remembred
,
I
will
now
discharge
my
promise
in
declaring
briefly
to
you
the
nature
and
sorts
of
certaine
trees
for
fuell
and
building
,
which
ordinarily
do
grow
in
England
,
and
what
ground
&
soyle
euerie
one
delighteth
most
in
,
for
their
better
and
larger
prospering
,
to
the
end
that
those
who
take
pleasure
in
this
practise
,
may
not
altogether
be
deluded
,
and
frustrate
of
their
paines
and
expectation
,
but
may
in
the
end
reape
some
profit
thereby
.
I
told
you
then
,
that
before
you
resolue
to
plant
,
two
things
are
to
be
considered
of
,
namely
the
soyle
where
you
intend
to
plant
,
and
the
soile
where
the
plant
hath
formerly
grown
:
for
that
trée
which
groweth
vpon
a
drie
ground
and
hot
soyle
,
must
not
be
planted
in
a
moyst
or
cold
go●ud
&
so
contrariwise
,
that
tree
which
groweth
in
a
watry
soile
,
be
not
planted
vpon
hils
or
drie
barren
groundes
,
least
by
planting
them
in
a
soyle
contrarie
to
the
nature
and
condition
of
the
plant
,
all
cost
&
profit
be
lost
therby
.
First
therefore
Wood.
Indéed
it
is
probable
that
trées
will
hardly
prosper
,
but
in
a
ground
well
corresponding
with
their
nature
and
propertie
:
but
I
pray
what
experience
is
there
hereof
?
Sur.
I
will
first
satisfie
you
by
the
experience
of
trees
which
commonly
are
called
water
trées
;
as
namely
Aller
,
Withi●
Aspe
,
Birch
,
&c.
which
trées
except
they
haue
store
of
moisture
,
Ien.
Indéed
these
kinds
of
trées
grow
a
pace
without
any
great
labour
or
charge
,
and
the
profit
thereof
forfuell
is
verie
great
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
for
if
you
eyther
take
branches
from
the
Aller
trée
,
or
rootes
digged
out
of
the
earth
,
and
set
them
againe
Pe.
Then
I
perceiue
that
the
Withie
doth
not
desire
such
moist
grounds
as
the
Aller
tree
.
Sur.
No
,
for
we
see
they
grow
and
prosper
better
vpon
bankes
of
ditches
,
and
good
low
battable
ground
(
if
they
haue
water
néere
them
)
then
those
do
which
grow
in
low
and
Wo.
But
I
pray
will
not
these
trees
which
you
haue
tearmed
water
trees
,
grow
in
any
other
place
then
in
low
waterie
grounds
?
Sur.
Yes
,
I
say
not
to
the
contrarie
,
but
their
nature
being
to
grow
in
low
wet
grounds
,
or
néere
vnto
water
,
where
they
will
more
kindly
prosper
then
in
high
and
drie
places
which
is
farre
from
water
,
where
perhaps
with
much
adoe
,
and
verie
slow
,
they
will
put
forth
some
few
and
small
branches
:
And
where
one
so
prospereth
well
,
and
continueth
long
in
such
a
high
place
,
there
will
fiue
hundred
prosper
much
better
,
and
last
longer
,
growing
in
low
and
waterie
grounds
.
It
is
true
,
that
by
industrie
they
may
be
made
to
grow
vpon
the
barrennest
soile
that
is
,
but
then
the
labour
and
charge
must
be
verie
great
,
which
if
once
it
be
neglected
,
and
not
daily
followed
,
and
that
with
great
care
,
all
paines
&
charge
is
lost
,
and
the
tree
will
wither
and
die
.
The
contrarie
wherof
is
found
by
planting
them
in
a
low
soyle
,
or
néere
vnto
water
fitting
their
kind
.
And
some
do
also
hold
it
necessary
after
the
first
yeares
planting
of
them
,
to
cut
away
all
the
twigs
which
then
first
put
forth
,
whereby
the
roote
may
be
the
better
fed
,
and
also
that
the
winds
may
haue
lesse
power
to
shake
and
loosen
them
in
the
earth
;
for
trées
often
perish
and
die
by
such
vntimely
accidents
:
therefore
it
is
necessarie
as
well
to
plant
them
well
and
orderly
at
the
first
;
as
to
be
carefull
afterward
in
looking
well
to
them
,
for
a
thing
once
well
done
at
the
first
,
is
much
better
then
when
it
needeth
a
second
doing
.
And
this
shall
suffice
for
these
kinds
of
water
trées
,
or
for
any
other
you
intend
to
plant
,
and
now
to
your
land
trées
.
Per.
But
I
pray
doe
you
not
account
Ash
trées
to
bee
in
Sur.
No
,
though
they
doe
naturally
desire
a
low
and
moist
soile
,
wherin
they
will
grow
and
prosper
much
better
,
then
in
high
drie
grounds
,
yet
the
ground
néed
not
be
altogether
so
low
and
watrie
,
as
that
which
is
for
Aller
,
Withie
,
Birch
,
and
Aspe
:
therefore
the
best
ground
which
is
most
agréeable
to
their
condition
,
and
wherein
they
most
delight
,
is
in
valleyes
of
an
indifferent
layre
,
neither
too
drie
nor
moist
:
for
in
such
warme
places
they
will
grow
tall
and
beautifull
,
and
that
also
in
short
time
.
But
howsoeuer
,
if
conueniently
they
cannot
bee
set
in
Valleyes
,
they
will
grow
verie
well
in
any
fat
and
moist
soyle
;
but
by
no
meanes
plant
them
in
any
drie
or
barren
ground
,
nor
yet
in
very
low
watrie
places
.
Ien.
Yet
I
haue
often
séene
Ash
trées
grow
vpon
high
hils
,
and
that
very
well
.
Sur.
I
graunt
that
to
be
so
,
but
then
it
is
likely
that
those
hils
are
somewhat
replenished
with
Springs
,
or
else
the
ground
is
verie
good
,
and
then
there
is
no
doubt
of
their
prospering
,
though
yet
not
to
proue
so
firme
and
tough
wood
(
by
reason
of
the
wind
and
stormes
doe
often
shake
them

and
the
full
heat
of
the
Sunne
makes
them
more
spault
and
brittle
for

yet
will
they
be
better
feathered

and
longer
endure

those

And
you
may
either
set
Ashen-keyes

But
I
pray
how
are
their
differences
knowne
?
Sur.
They
are
easily
knowne
:
for
the
first
of
them
hath
a
Ien.
It
is
most
probable
to
be
so
,
but
I
pray
at
what
time
of
the
yeare
is
it
best
to
fell
Oake
Timber
trées
,
as
well
for
the
durablenesse
of
the
Timber
for
building
,
as
also
to
haue
profit
by
the
Barke
?
for
as
I
haue
heard
they
must
be
felled
at
two
seuerall
times
in
the
yeare
.
Sur.
The
best
time
to
fell
all
manner
of
Timber
trées
for
building
,
is
in
December
and
Ianuarie
,
from
the
full
to
the
change
of
the
Moone
,
and
towards
the
last
quarter
,
she
being
then
in
Aquarius
and
Pisces
,
and
then
commonly
they
will
Pereg.
Herein
you
haue
giuen
me
very
good
satisfaction
:
but
I
pray
will
the
stubbe
of
such
an
Oaken
Timber
tree
newly
felled
,
shoot
out
young
sprigges
,
whereby
may
be
expected
a
new
spring
to
come
of
that
root
againe
?
Sur.
Yes
,
there
will
such
shootes
sprout
out
againe
after
the
felling
of
the
Trée
in
manner
as
I
haue
said
,
especially
if
the
Trée
felled
were
a
growing
Timber
trée
,
and
that
it
be
felled
from
the
change
to
the
first
quarter
of
the
Moone
:
for
though
the
Trée
be
taken
away
,
yet
the
root
is
still
fresh
and
springing
,
and
will
in
some
sort
put
forth
his
fruit
and
encrease
againe
,
though
in
another
kind
,
for
in
stead
of
Timber
,
which
before
did
grow
vpon
that
stubbe
and
root
,
you
shall
now
haue
Copies
Wood
,
if
you
preserue
it
accordingly
.
Pereg.
It
is
probable
to
be
so
,
but
why
then
should
not
men
,
who
fell
downe
Timber
trées
,
preserue
such
a
spring
?
Sur.
The
reason
as
I
conceiue
is
this
,
that
Timber
commonly
is
not
felled
together
,
but
scatteringly
,
as
here
and
there
a
trée
,
which
indéed
would
not
quit
the
cost
to
preserue
the
spring
of
euery
such
trée
so
felled
.
And
againe
,
those
who
fell
eight
or
tenne
acres
more
or
lesse
of
Timber
trées
to
make
a
present
summe
of
money
,
they
neuer
respect
any
new
spring
thereof
to
grow
againe
,
but
straight
they
fall
to
grubbing
of
that
péece
of
ground
so
felled
,
and
then
conuerteth
it
into
pasture
,
arable
,
or
medow
,
which
they
thinke
to
be
the
most
gaines
:
but
such
men
in
my
opinion
are
none
of
the
Ien.
You
haue
giuen
two
sufficient
reasons
why
men
doe
not
preserue
such
springs
,
to
which
a
third
may
also
be
added
;
namely
,
as
I
conceiue
,
they
are
carelesse
,
and
neuer
expect
that
any
spring
at
all
will
come
forth
out
of
such
a
stubbe
or
root
,
from
which
the
Timber
trée
is
felled
.
And
your
comparing
such
an
one
,
who
grubbeth
vp
whole
Woods
to
conuert
the
ground
to
tillage
or
pasture
,
is
very
aptly
applyed
to
such
a
Landlord
,
who
will
let
his
Farmes
but
for
some
short
time
:
for
if
the
ground
be
good
when
the
Farmer
taketh
it
,
it
will
then
for
those
few
yeares
well
serue
his
turne
,
to
bring
in
profit
without
any
cost
bestowing
thereof
:
which
tearme
ended
,
and
the
vtmost
of
his
labour
and
paines
bestowed
thereof
,
the
ground
then
will
bee
much
the
poorer
:
and
if
at
his
first
entring
thereon
,
the
ground
,
fence
and
tenement
be
bad
,
he
must
then
bestow
so
much
cost
thereof
,
as
will
well
last
him
to
haue
profit
thereby
during
that
time
(
for
more
it
is
not
likely
he
will
bestow
)
for
you
must
thinke
he
will
vse
all
the
skill
of
husbandrie
he
can
,
to
get
his
full
benefit
out
of
the
very
hart
of
the
ground
,
and
by
that
time
those
few
yeares
are
expired
,
both
ground
,
fence
,
and
housing
will
be
much
impaired
,
and
little
aduantage
this
griping
Landlord
will
get
by
letting
of
this
land
the
second
time
.
Sur.
It
is
true
,
they
neither
expect
or
care
for
the
springing
of
such
Copies
,
and
especially
many
of
the
Kings
Tenants
,
who
hold
any
Springs
or
Copies
of
his
Maiestie
by
lease
:
for
when
they
fell
a
Hagge
or
Spring
,
partly
out
of
a
desire
of
vnlawfull
gaines
,
they
cut
and
mangle
downe
the
armes
and
loppes
of
good
Timber
trées
,
yea
and
many
good
Timber
trées
themselues
,
in
the
name
of
Cranckes
or
shrubbed
Trées
,
which
they
presume
they
may
without
preiudice
of
their
Lease
,
take
;
and
partly
to
bare
and
cléere
the
ground
of
such
a
burthen
,
that
so
much
the
sooner
it
might
become
a
pasture
ground
(
of
which
Tenants
doe
make
a
better
commoditie
,
because
they
make
more
often
returne
both
of
ware
and
money
)
as
my selfe
haue
found
it
true
in
my
late
Northerne
circuit
.
And
this
abuse
will
neuer
be
left
,
except
some
Woodwards
were
more
honest
and
carefull
in
their
office
,
for
they
will
not
onely
winke
at
such
faults
,
but
ex
officio
,
will
be
as
forward
as
any
to
take
and
sell
trees
at
pleasure
.
Ien.
How
now
Master
Woodward
,
how
doe
you
like
this
géere
?
I
perceiue
men
of
your
profession
is
also
like
to
vndergoe
the
sensure
of
the
world
,
as
well
as
Surueyors
.
Sur.
Howsoeuer
he
liketh

or
may
be
censured
of
the
world
with
Surueyors
,
yet
God
forbid
that
all
Woodwards
should
be
so
;
but
I
doe
speake
but
of
such
who
demeans
themselues
in
this
idle
fashion
:
and
I
could
wish
,
that
all
such
Surueyors
,
who
deale
not
iustly
according
to
the
trust
reposed
in
them
,
might
be
punished
accordingly
.
Wood.
Which
your
opinion
I
approue
,
and
will
willingly
subscribe
thereunto
.
But
leauing
these
abuses
to
the
punishment
of
the
law
,
I
pray
procéed
in
your
discourse
of
timber
trées
:
and
the
second
in
order
for
goodnesse
,
which
you
told
vs
of
,
as
I
remember
,
is
the
Elme
.
Sur.
You
say
true
:
and
therefore
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
there
are
also
of
this
kind
thrée
sorts
,
and
they
are
thus
Pereg.
Haue
Elmes
then
séede
,
I
pray
whereabouts
in
the
Elme
doth
it
grow
?
Sur.
Yes
that
they
haue
,
and
that
great
store
,
and
it
groweth
about
the
middest
of
the
Leafe
,
and
the
Bloome
thereof
is
somewhat
like
vnto
a
Hoppe
,
or
the
séed
of
Orage
,
and
to
set
or
sow
this
séed
you
must
doe
thus
:
Gather
the
séed
before
the
Trée
be
fully
couered
with
leaues
(
which
is
about
the
middle
of
Aprill
)
at
such
time
as
it
beginneth
to
be
yellow
,
and
fall
from
the
Trée
:
and
after
they
are
gathered
,
they
must
be
two
or
thee
dayes
dried
in
the
shadow
,
and
then
sowne
in
good
and
firme
ground
an
ynch
déepe
,
and
afterward
let
them
be
watered
,
if
the
weather
proue
drie
:
which
done
,
and
then
carefully
looked
vnto
,
they
will
come
vp
and
prosper
verie
well
.
Yet
it
is
better
to
set
Plants
of
them
as
you
doe
your
Oake
,
for
they
will
come
vp
sooner
,
and
proue
more
large
of
bodie
and
plentifull
of
boughes
,
euen
according
as
the
soyle
is
where
they
grow
▪
And
to
plant
the
roots
or
impes
of
them
,
cut
from
the
trée
or
root
,
you
must
lay
them
déepe
in
good
mould
,
and
they
will
prosper
and
plentifully
come
forth
,
and
grow
to
bee
high
and
tapering
Trées
,
by
reason
they
haue
then
still
their
toppes
:
and
they
will
best
like
and
thriue
in
a
grauellie
soyle
,
as
is
to
be
séene
about
London
and
other
places
,
where
they
grow
tall
and
straight
in
short
time
.
Of
the
great
vse
of
this
trée
I
haue
spoken
before
,
and
therefore
it
were
néedlesse
here
againe
to
repeat
it
.
The
third
sort
in
goodnesse
,
is
the
Béech
Tree
,
Wood.
But
I
pray
S●r
why
do
you
forget
to
speake
of
the
Chesnut
trée
,
considering
you
gaue
such
extraordinarie
commendations
,
as
well
for
the
Timber
as
fruit
thereof
.
Sur.
Though
I
haue
for
borne
to
speake
thereof
,
yet
I
intend
not
to
be
silent
therein
▪
for
the
worth
of
this
tree
deserueth
Ien.
But
will
not
this
trée
grow
and
prosper
as
well
of
the
Plant
,
as
of
the
Nut
?
Sur.
Yes
no
doubt
but
it
will
,
but
you
will
hardly
finde
in
England
any
young
plants
with
roots
,
and
to
set
sprigges
therof
hauing
no
roots
,
but
cut
from
the
tree
,
they
will
by
no
meanes
prosper
:
and
therefore
the
best
and
surest
way
is
to
sow
the
Nuts
.
Per.
But
the
Chesnuts
which
commonly
come
into
England
are
rotten
and
perished
before
the
time
commeth
of
setting
them
:
how
then
shall
we
get
any
of
these
to
be
sound
for
setting
,
that
in
likelyhood
we
might
not
loose
both
labour
and
charge
?
Sur.
You
say
true
,
many
of
those
Chesnuts
which
come
out
of
France
are
indéed
much
perished
,
and
the
reason
may
be
as
well
of
their
vntimely
gathering
,
as
also
when
they
are
gathered
,
in
not
wel
kéeping
of
them
:
in
both
which
great
care
must
be
had
,
and
therefore
the
sooner
you
set
those
Nuts
the
better
and
sooner
will
they
prosper
.
Per.
But
I
pray
how
doe
they
kéepe
them
?
Sur.
The
manner
of
kéeping
them
in
France
,
about
the
countrie
of
Dalphine
,
where
great
store
of
these
trées
doe
grow
,
is
,
that
about
Autumn
they
do
gather
these
Nuts
,
and
kéepe
them
vntill
their
hulks
grow
,
tending
to
a
●ay
colour
,
and
that
also
vntill
they
rast
out
their
fruit
,
and
this
without
any
more
adoe
,
is
their
common
course
of
kéeping
them
.
But
others
who
make
great
profit
of
them
by
their
long
kéeping
,
&
selling
them
to
seamen
to
transport
into
other
countries
,
doe
beate
them
downe
before
they
be
fully
ripe
,
or
fall
from
the
trée
of
themselues
,
for
those
ripe
ones
so
falling
will
not
kéepe
aboue
twenty
or
thirtie
daies
,
except
they
be
dried
,
and
yet
for
all
that
they
will
not
kéepe
verie
long
.
And
being
gathered
as
aforesaid
,
some
then
doe
couer
them
with
Hasell
Nuts
,
which
they
say
do
drie
vp
the
superfluous
moisture
of
the
Chesnuts
.
And
others
gather
them
in
the
decrease
Per.
You
say
weil
,
and
I
would
to
God
there
might
be
as
good
care
had
of
the
planting
and
prospering
of
this
kinde
of
tréee
,
which
I
perceiue
bringeth
abundance
of
necessarie
profit
,
as
well
to
the
rich
as
poore
,
both
for
building
Sur.
It
is
true
,
yet
the
profit
of
the
Chesnut
tree
(
as
I
conceiue
)
is
more
necessarie
,
as
well
in
respect
of
the
goodnesse
of
Timber
,
as
also
for
the
sustenance
and
reliefe
of
the
poore
:
yet
the
commoditie
of
the
Mulberie
tree
is
greatly
to
be
respected
,
in
regard
of
the
silke
that
is
made
thereof
,
as
also
for
the
wood
it selfe
:
and
therefore
it
is
a
tree
well
worth
the
planting
,
and
not
amisse
to
speake
somewhat
Wood.
You
haue
sufficiently
spoken
of
this
tree
,
and
that
according
to
his
worth
,
but
there
is
yet
another
kind
of
tree
which
would
helpe
to
adorne
and
beautifie
all
kinds
,
as
wel
of
wilde
as
Farme
grounds
,
both
for
the
fruit
,
and
also
largenesse
of
the
tree
,
and
that
is
the
Walnut
tree
,
of
which
Sur.
Neither
did
I
thinke
to
haue
said
any
thing
thereof
at
all
,
though
it
be
a
séemely
and
large
tree
,
and
well
worth
the
hauing
,
yet
hath
it
that
malignant
nature
with
it
(
as
my
Author
affirmeth
)
as
it
annoyeth
all
other
trees
which
grow
néere
vnto
it
,
and
especially
the
Oake
tree
:
yet
because
it
is
good
and
profitable
,
as
well
for
the
wood
and
timber
,
as
also
for
the
fruit
,
I
will
a
little
speake
hereof
.
The
ground
then
that
these
trées
doe
most
delight
in
,
is
rather
a
hot
soyle
then
a
fat
or
waterish
,
and
the
best
place
to
plant
them
in
,
is
vpon
highway
sides
,
or
vacant
places
,
because
of
the
spoyling
other
trées
which
grow
by
them
,
for
the
very
shadow
and
droppings
of
this
trée
doth
much
annoy
any
thing
that
groweth
néere
or
vnder
it
:
And
you
may
either
set
the
Nut
,
plant
a
Ien.
But
doe
you
not
thinke
that
this
tree
will
grow
in
cold
and
moyst
places
,
as
well
as
in
the
fertill
soyle
,
for
it
seemeth
to
mec
,
to
be
of
a
hard
condition
,
for
I
haue
often
séene
them
beaten
with
a
long
pole
,
when
the
Nuts
begin
to
grow
ripe
,
and
their
branches
much
broken
therewith
.
Sur.
Yes
,
they
will
grow
reasonable
well
in
such
soyles
,
and
also
endure
the
cold
weather
as
well
as
any
tree
,
but
then
it
will
not
come
to
that
perfection
neyther
for
the
largenesse
and
bole
of
the
tree
,
nor
store
or
goodnesse
of
the
Nut
,
as
if
it
had
beene
planted
in
a
good
and
seasonable
ground
:
yet
plant
this
tree
where
you
will
,
it
is
so
hardie
of
it selfe
,
that
being
exceedingly
beaten
with
a
long
pole
,
as
you
spake
of
euen
now
,
the
more
and
better
fruit
shall
you
haue
thereof
:
but
if
you
doe
omit
beating
of
it
,
then
may
you
prune
it
,
or
finely
with
the
point
of
your
knife
cut
the
barke
thereof
from
the
foote
of
the
tree
vpwards
,
as
high
as
you
can
reach
,
which
some
do
call
scarifying
or
lancing
.
And
you
shall
do
well
now
and
then
,
after
some
few
yeares
planting
of
it
,
to
lay
ashes
at
the
roote
thereof
,
or
else
water
it
with
stale
vrine
,
which
will
cause
the
Nut
to
grow
more
large
,
the
shell
tender
,
and
the
kernell
more
firme
and
pleasant
in
taste
;
and
the
tree
it selfe
will
grow
fairer
,
and
beare
his
fruit
more
timely
.
And
although
the
disposition
of
this
tree
be
so
aduerse
against
all
other
trees
which
grow
néere
vnto
it
,
yet
is
the
profit
thereof
greatly
to
be
respected
:
for
the
timber
thereof
is
large
,
smooth
,
pleasant
,
and
serueth
Wood.
But
doe
you
thinke
that
Pine
trees
will
grow
and
prosper
in
our
climate
?
Sur.
I
must
néedes
thinke
so
,
because
I
haue
seene
some
grow
in
England
,
though
yet
but
rarely
,
and
the
reason
perhaps
may
be
,
of
the
not
well
husbanding
them
at
the
first
,
in
which
great
care
must
be
vsed
,
yet
when
they
are
growne
to
be
trées
,
they
are
then
sufficiently
able
to
endure
all
hardnesse
;
but
being
set
either
of
the
plant
or
séed
,
they
are
then
most
choice
and
tender
.
Wood.
But
I
pray
what
course
doe
you
vse
in
planting
them
,
and
in
what
kind
of
ground
?
Sur.
The
soile
that
chiefly
these
trées
delight
in
,
is
a
sandie
,
light
,
and
stonie
ground
,
and
will
thriue
very
well
vpon
mountaines
,
and
in
open
ayrie
places
,
and
they
will
grow
sooner
&
better
of
the
kernell
,
then
of
a
young
plant
.
And
you
must
lay
the
kernels
in
stéepe
thrée
or
foure
daies
before
you
set
or
sow
them
and
let
the
ground
where
you
intend
to
sow
them
be
as
carefully
husbanded
&
tilled
,
as
you
would
doe
if
you
would
sow
wheat
thereon
,
&
then
put
6
or
7
of
them
into
the
earth
in
one
hole
together
4
or
5
fingers
déep
,
&
couer
them
lightly
with
loose
earth
.
And
the
best
time
to
sow
them
is
in
October
or
Nouember
▪
in
warm
,
hot
,
or
drie
places
,
&
in
cold
and
wet
grounds
in
February
or
March
,
and
when
they
are
growne
vp
to
be
young
trees
,
you
must
be
very
carefull
in
remouing
any
of
them
,
because
it
is
long
before
they
will
settle
and
take
roote
,
and
they
will
hardly
endure
to
be
transplanted
(
without
hurt
and
hinderance
to
their
grouth
)
but
yet
when
you
doe
remoue
of
them
,
beware
you
do
not
bruze
or
breake
any
of
the
roots
,
espcially
the
master-roote
.
And
it
is
thought
this
tree
will
continue
the
longer
,
if
the
barke
be
now
and
then
taken
from
it
,
because
that
vnder
the
barke
wormes
doe
breed
,
which
doe
fret
and
destroy
the
tree
.
And
though
you
may
thinke
this
disdourse
of
mine
to
be
more
curious
then
necessarie
,
because
there
be
excellent
good
lawes
alreadie
inacted
for
preseruing
the
wood
,
yet
in
respect
there
do
want
peculiar
officers
that
should
carefully
looke
thereunto
,
those
lawes
,
as
many
other
be
,
are
little
respected
:
therefore
if
you
please
,
before
we
end
our
conference
,
Per.
M.
Surueyor
you
haue
made
a
good
motion
,
I
pray
let
vs
heare
your
conceit
concerning
this
point
.
Sur.
Sir
with
all
willingnesse
I
will
discouer
to
you
my
poore
opinion
therein
,
which
is
,
that
euerie
Fréeholder
or
Copiholder
of
Inheritance
holding
twentie
Acres
or
vpward
of
land
,
should
be
enioyned
by
a
speciall
act
to
be
made
in
that
behalfe
,
to
plant
or
sow
one
Acre
of
those
twentie
with
Oake
,
Elme
,
Ash
,
Béech
,
or
Chesnut
,
&c.
in
Counties
that
are
not
wooddie
,
or
where
little
or
no
wood
is
growing
,
and
to
ditch
and
hedge
the
same
defensably
from
Cattle
and
Swine
,
or
other
destruction
.
Per.
You
say
well
,
but
that
law
would
as
little
be
respected
as
any
the
rest
,
except
it
might
also
be
enacted
,
that
there
should
be
officers
appointed
for
the
due
surueying
and
yearely
view
of
euerie
mans
performance
thereof
.
Sur.
That
is
my
meaning
,
for
after
this
little
nurcery
thus
Pereg.
But
what
then
should
these
high
Constables
do
,
when
they
find
offenders
in
any
point
of
this
planting
or
preseruing
law
?
Sur.
I
would
haue
them
to
kéepe
note
bookes
of
al
their
doings
therein
,
and
that
once
in
the
yeare
,
and
at
the
next
Quarter
Sessions
extract
these
defaults
to
the
Iustices
of
Pereg.
Sir
,
in
my
opinion
you
haue
laid
a
foundation
of
very
good
and
probable
law
,
which
being
perfected
by
the
wisdome
of
the
Parliament
Burgesses
,
who
knowing
the
natures
,
conditions
,
and
properties
of
euery
County
,
can
best
forme
and
fashion
the
same
fit
for
euery
place
,
which
assuredly
cannot
but
doe
well
;
because
you
haue
made
such
a
cautionarie
law
,
that
the
profits
arising
of
the
amercements
and
fines
for
defaults
,
as
well
of
the
owners
of
those
springs
,
as
of
the
Surueyors
,
will
cause
the
same
to
be
quickly
found
and
leuied
,
which
will
make
euery
one
more
carefully
to
looke
about
him
.
Surueyor
.
Truely
Sir
,
it
is
most
needfull
that
some
such
course
should
be
thought
of
,
and
I
should
thinke
my selfe
happie
if
I
could
possesse
some
pregnant
wits
to
raise
vp
any
profitable
law
for
the
encreasing
of
so
pitifull
a
decay
,
as
is
generally
of
our
Woods
,
which
hath
come
by
the
vnnaturalnesse
of
the
times
,
that
hath
bred
men
void
of
charitie
;
Epicures
,
onely
prouiding
for
the
supply
of
their
pleasures
:
without
that
naturall
leue
,
care
,
and
respect
,
that
by
the
Lawes
of
God
,
Nature
,
and
Nations
they
should
haue
of
their
posteritie
and
succeeding
ages
.
Pereg.
Master
Surueyor
you
haue
spoken
most
truely
herein
:
for
my selfe
(
in
this
small
time
that
I
haue
liued
,
which
is
not
yet
fully
sixtie
yeares
)
haue
obserued
,
that
in
these
latter
ages
true
charitie
hath
had
a
great
fight
with
selfe-loue
,
and
much
banding
on
both
parties
hath
beene
for
some
few
yeares
after
.
But
since
this
conflict
,
sensualitie
hath
so
played
the
parasite
,
as
he
hath
leuied
more
forces
,
and
growne
more
powerfull
by
his
libertine
insinuations
,
than
poore
charitie
could
do
:
whereby
it
hath
followed
that
shee
is
abolished
,
and
selfe-loue
hath
obtained
the
victorie
;
and
thereupon
comming
in
by
conquest
,
she
thinketh
her selfe
not
bound
to
any
law
,
but
at
her
pleasure
most
licentiously
hath
made
hauocke
of
all
old
charitable
foundations
,
plantations
,
preseruations
,
and
what
not
;
whereby
this
pitifull
spoile
of
Woods
amongst
the
rest
,
that
serued
to
many
néedfull
and
worthie
vses
,
is
now
presented
to
vs
in
the
pageant
of
this
our
age
,
as
part
of
the
fruits
of
selfe-loue
,
in
euery
degrée
,
sex
,
and
person
.
Sur.
Good
Sir
,
I
pray
make
some
stay
of
relating
so
féelingly
the
memorie
of
these
wofull
deuastations
,
for
in
good
faith
you
make
my
heart
ake
with
the
remembrance
of
them
,
and
the
more
,
for
that
I
sée
all
this
which
you
haue
said
to
be
most
true
in
all
sorts
of
people
:
for
it
we
looke
vpon
the
Clergie
,
we
may
then
sée
their
Church-land
to
be
rather
champaine
than
reasonably
wooddie
,
and
their
Woods
and
Copies
cut
downe
,
wasted
,
and
sold
by
them
,
not
vpon
necessity
,
but
vpon
couetousnes
,
want
of
charity
,
and
due
care
of
Churches
posteritie
.
If
we
look
vpon
foundations
and
donations
of
Colledges
,
Schooles
,
and
Hospitals
,
euery
man
we
sée
is
for
himselfe
,
vasting
,
and
deuasting
all
,
as
though
they
expected
neuer
to
haue
any
successors
at
all
.
If
we
looke
towards
widowes
hauing
dowries
,
we
shall
easily
perceiue
the
small
care
and
motherly
affection
they
haue
of
their
heires
,
in
respect
of
their
later
and
new
husbands
,
but
all
is
brought
to
the
fall
and
ruine
,
without
respect
of
future
good
to
their
posterities
.
And
if
we
bend
our
considerations
vpon
many
Officers
of
the
Crowne
,
we
may
easily
discerne
what
course
they
hold
to
aduance
their
owne
profits
,
more
then
the
preseruation
of
the
Princes
Woods
and
Royalties
.
Pereg.
Well
,
since
charitie
is
in
this
mournefull
sort
confronted
and
derided
by
selfe-loue
,
let
euery
one
endeuour
to
vnite
himselfe
,
as
well
in
others
as
in
this
most
néedfull
thrift
of
Planting
:
which
your
conceit
for
erecting
some
new
law
for
the
same
,
doth
seeme
to
mee
most
probable
and
effectual
for
encrease
of
Timber
and
Fuel
,
and
that
with
the
least
charge
that
may
be
.
Sur.
Happily
it
may
effect
wel
,
if
iudicious
men
would
be
pleased
to
make
smooth
and
plaine
that
which
I
haue
roughly
hewen
:
with
which
I
pray
giue
me
leaue
to
end
this
discourse
of
Planting
;
wherein
if
I
haue
giuen
you
any
satisfaction
,
I
shall
thinke
my
time
well
bestowed
,
and
would
be
glad
to
sée
you
or
any
other
practise
some
of
these
directions
of
Planting
and
Sowing
for
encrease
of
Wood
and
Timber
,
of
which
the
scarcitie
is
daily
séene
:
and
yet
few
or
none
in
our
time
(
to
any
great
purpose
)
haue
euer
taken
paines
to
write
hereof
,
how
or
in
what
manner
to
begin
and
procéed
.
And
I
sée
there
are
as
few
industrious
spirits
that
will
vndertake
the
care
and
charge
for
the
encrease
or
preseruing
of
them

Are
there
not
then
any
other
sort
of
Trees
worth
the
planting
either
for
Timber
or
Fuell
,
more
then
what
you
haue
alreadie
spoken
of
?
Sur.
There
are
not
any
other
worth
the
labor
either
for
Timber
or
Fuell
,
which
either
do
,
or
as
I
conceiue
,
will
plentifully
grow
or
fructifie
in
England
,
because
the
soyle
&
climate
is
more
aduerse
than
pleasing
to
their
conditions
:
yet
there
be
many
other
Trées
of
small
growth
worth
the
planting
,
in
regard
of
their
fruit
,
as
namely
,
the
Apple-trée
,
Warden-trée
,
Plumme-trée
,
&c.
the
profit
of
which
(
if
men
would
be
industrious
to
plant
them
)
would
in
short
time
happily
yéeld
a
liberall
encrease
,
&
discharge
a
good
part
of
their
rent
,
besides
finding
of
their
owne
houses
▪
by
the
store
of
Cy●er
and
Perry
,
which
yearely
may
be
made
thereof
,
as
those
of
the
Counties
of
Worcester
,
Glocester
,
&
Hereford
do
find
it
true
by
experience
:
but
hereof
I
intend
not
to
speake
,
because
many
men
are
alreadie
excellent
and
most
curious
in
that
kind
in
their
Orchards
;
and
the
making
of
Perrie
and
Cider
is
neither
so
difficult
or
chargeable
,
as
it
is
pleasant
and
profitable
:
and
for
that
also
I
should
then
excéede
the
compasse
of
an
introduction
to
an
old
thrift
,
which
was
the
whole
scope
of
my
intent
in
this
discourse
.

But
Sir
,
though
we
are
content
for
this
present
to
spare
your
further
labour
herein
,
because
I
thinke
wee
haue
almost
tyred
you
,
yet
I
would
entreat
you
hereafter
(
though
many
men
by
practise
are
most
skilfull
therein
)
to
let
vs
heare
your
conceit
concerning
fruit
trées
,
and
the
commoditie
thereof
:
for
though
the
bodies
or
boles
of
them
yéeld
but
small
Timber
,
yet
you
know
they
are
both
profitable
and
pleasant

in
respect
of
the
fruit
which
commeth
from
them
.
