open Fields of your Subje&s, where too it is indifferent 
at leaft, if not better for the Proprietor, that it be fell'd

the Spring it felf : So that I cannot fee what your Ma= 
jefty has more to do in this Matter, in cafe your Majefty 
think fit to make ufe of this Method, than to order your 
Officers affigned for that purpofe to buy all their Tim-

(hall conceive from it, together with your Majefties fa- 
vourable Acceptance, will be an ample Reward to 
Tour Majefties, &c.
