 finifh what I have to iay on this, I mean as to 

 its Improvement, as k is a fort of Land that 

 requires no Subftance, being neither eat up 

 nor emaciated by rough Clays nor barren 

 L^nds ; its Refrefhment, when ever it v/ants, 

 needs to be only good in Quality ; and as to

 thefe kind of Lands, which, notwitbftanding

 Afhes ; four of clean Horfe Dung, one 

 of Sea Sand, if to be procured, orelfe Sand 

 from the v/afbing cf Hills, throw them all 

 together into a Pit, Sfratttm upon Stratum 5 

 and after they are well rotted and foaky to- 

 gether, turn them over three or four times, 

 and they will be excellent for the Reinvigora- 

 tion of this, or any other Tired Land-, the 

 Land having then hid Fallow all Summer 5
