 Lord of a Manner did but know what an 

 offence it is to plant an under-shot-mil 

 upon a River, where the scituation of the 

 soile affords drownings : He were better

 worth some tenne pound by yeare, and 

 four hundred Acres of excellent ground 

 to handle: hee forbeares his Winter and 

 Sommer drowning, to give satisfaction to 

 this unsatisfiable glutton the Under-shot-

 hee should dayly drowne three hundred 

 Acres for ever.
