For if it were possible to find out so meer a Cockney as never saw a Field of Corn in his Life ; yet if you should ask him what might be the Reason of want of Bread , he would presently tell you want of Corn ; and would say , That he were a most impudent Fellow who should affirm , that there could be any want of Bread in a Country , which at the same time afforded plenty of Corn ▪ And yet such a Paradox as this I must maintain , if I will speak truth ; and shew you the true Reason of your present want of Bread , which is daily like to be greater .

summary:
  Caligula was famous for Ambition , for hee would bee ador'd as a God , though he liu'd like a Deuill , poysoning his Vnkle and deflowring all his Sisters : And in all ages and Countries , time hath still produc'd particular persons , men & women , either for their vertues or their vices , to be remembred , that by meditating on the good , we may bee imitating their goodnesse , and by viewing the bad , we might be eschewing their vices . Herostratus was famous for burning the Temple of Diana in Ephesus : Dedalus for flying in the Ayre , and Leander for swimming ouer the Hellespontick sea : So by this small Treatise of your vertues , will your vnmatchable exploits be preserued to posterity , that time , or obliuion shall neuer eate out or deuoure the happy memory of your eating ; Yet ( not to flatter you ) though you are the absolutest man of mouth , and the most renowned stifgut in this Westerne Angle of the World , yet we haue as great or greater Faters then your selfe , which are scarcely thought vpon : there are some , that with the vnsauoury sawce of Enuy , will eate vp a mans name and reputation , and leaue nothing but the bones and scraps of infamy and scandall ; some eate vp whole Lordships without Mannours , and some deuoure Mannours and leaue nothing but bare Lordships : your exercise is onely for the Maw , and your Excellency consists totally in Crambo ; I haue done my best to please and pleasure you .

  A Designe for plentie, by an universall planting of fruit-trees: tendred by some wel-wishers to the publick.

summary:
  Besides , such an Universall Plantation will both yield great store of fuel to burn , and wood for many occasions ( the Apple , Peare and Walnut-trees , being all of them good Joyners timber ) fit to make chaires , stools , tables , and many other house-Utensils ) and also it will much warm the Countrey by so many thousands of trees planted in open and waste grounds to the great comfort both of man and beast . These trees being prudently set , and providently husbanded in banks and hedge-rows , will thrive the best of all , and prove most fruitfull ; for if the grounds be cold and wet , then to set them in banks and rows will be far better , then to set them abroad , the banks being the driest places for planting : And if the grounds be dry and sandy , then the banks are the best , as being least hurtful to the roots of trees , and gaining moisture unto them by the ditches , when any do fall , whereby they are refreshed and preserved .
