prefer them before the modern agriculture, so exceed-
ingly of late improv’d, for which you may consult &

Hartlib, Walter Blith, the Philosophical Transactions,
& other books, which you know better than my selfe.
I have turn’d down the page, where poore Palissy
begins his persisting search. If you can suffer his
prolix style, you will now & then light on things not

concerning Metals, of Sir Hugh Platts, which perhaps

Deptford, & know not how to get them hither till I
get thither.
Sir, I am in no hast for the returne of these, if they
may be serviceable to you, but in no little paine for
the trouble your civility to mine puts one, who knows
so much better how to employ his time, than to mind
the impertinence of, Sir, your &c.
