ty an open large Cut or Glade, bring ifi the 

 jancomfortable Profpeft of barren Earths, 

 PY of Fields, that a great Part of the Year

 as a Defigner hit the Nature of a Scitua- 

 tion, in which he is not well vers'd • and 

 whereon he has not fpcnt fome Time in 

 order to confider how he may heft Im-

 down, but draw our Lines by, and to them, 

 and under all or moft of them, to make 

 Wooden Benches to fit iown under them 

 upon.
