CORNU COPIA. A Miscellanium of lucriferous and most fructiferous Experiments, Observations, and Discoveries, immethodically distributed; to be really demonstrated and communicated in all sincerity.  
Imprim'TO discover a Certainty to raise 2000l per annum de claro, with less than 200l stock, unhazarded, and beyond contradiction, without the least aspersion of Usury, Extortion, oppression, engrossing, or any monopolising, unconscionable or dishonourable way whatsoever. This design may be advanced to a far greater proportion, and exceedingly to the good of the public, and may be fortified with firm and convincible reasons, to any that shall waver in their belief.  
Item, A certainty another way, with 500 lib. stock unhazarded, to raise de claro, 2000 lib. per annum and upwards, without aspersion, as above, and without the least imaginary inconvenience or prejudice whatsoever, but to the general good, especially to the poor, with the free allowance of all the country; which hath been found true by the unquestionable testimony of experience, and will sound consonant to reason, and be undeniably satisfactory as the other.  
Item, A certainty, with less than 500l stock unhazarded to raise de claro 1000l per annum and upwards, and so with less or greater sums proportionably, by even, honest and generous courses as above. Which may be made conspicuous, valid, and most complete.  
Item, To discover a credible way without charge, more than ordinary expenses, whereby an industrious man but of a reasonable capacity and fortune, may contrive to himself 500l per annum and upward▪ without prejudice to any, or dishonour in the least kind unto himself. Which may be made easy and familiar to our reason by evidence strong enough to silence doubt, and procure credency.  
The like, but with small charge more than conveniency of livelihood, whereby a man of an ingenuous and generous condition, may by compendious, facile and conscionable ways, gain a 1000 per annum and upwards, with as much freedom, sincerity and regularity, as with the particulars above written, being a meridian truth, too clear to be eclipsed by contradiction.  
Item, With less than 50l stock constantly visible, and no way endangered, to advance de claro 1000l per annum, with all claritude and uprightness. This may be confirmed to the observation of any whose curiosity shall incline him to the easy trouble of experience.  
Item. To make in all probability with 200l stock in three years 400 lib, and in three years more to make the 400 lib. 800l, and in three years more to make the 800l 1600l, without adventure by sea; and so with less or greater sums proportionably, by even, honest and charitable ways: this will result a serene and an unrefutable truth to the nicest observation, and may be made indubitable by arguments of Reason and experience.  
Item, Divers other feasible and confirmable transparances and expedients of very great consequence and transcendency, to be peracted by active and public spirits, without any stock adventured, but secured as before, and to be enjoyed by those that will use the means.  

These following relate to the exceeding great advantage of Husbandry.  
Imprim' A Seed to be sown without manuring in the coursest, barren, sandy, and heathy Grounds, which will be very much improved thereby, that will afford three crops a year, and will cause Kine to give milk three times a day constantly, with full vessels, and to become fat withal, and to feed all other cattle fat suddenly, together with Calves, lambs, and Swine, without either hay, grass or corn, or any thing in relation to corn; and likewise to preserve and feed all sorts of poultry and foul fat in a very short time, as Geese, turkeys, pheasants, &c. and to make them lay and breed extraordinarily, and to continue all sort of cattle and Foul exceedingly healthful, and all without any considerable charge, one Acre of wheat being most commonly worth but five or six lib with the charge, and an Acre of this but one crop in three worth 12l and upwards, and in a manner without any charge. This (besides what is specified before) may be so disposed of, that it might advantage every housekeeper throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland, 8d per wieks constantly, and the better sort, a double, treble, and a quadruple proportion, and upwards.  
Item. Another kind of seed to be had, which will likewise afford three crops a year, and two loads and half in one Acre, one load thereof being worth two loads of ordinary Hay, besides an excellent winter pasture, till March, it will cause Kine to give milk as before, and will feed and preserve all sorts of four footed beasts, and cause them to become fat in a very short time, without any other grass or pasture, and the seeds thereof will feed all sort of poultry fat, and make them lay as before, and this may be performed in barren, sandy, and heathy grounds, and must be sown but once, and will continue so four or five years, and then this grass will so improve the ground, for four or five years more, without manuring, that it will afford excellent crops of wheat and barley, and after you may sow the ground with the same seed again, which will hold on that course both for grass and Corn constantly, and an Acre of this grass will keep three cow's winter and summer, in the highest condition, and the seed of one Acre may be justifiably worth about 70 lib. besides the winter pasture, and about seven loads and half of hay, which no man will part with under 5 lib. the load, that rightly understands the benefit thereof: You may keep your swine constantly in a yard, or in an orchard, which will mightily advantage the fruit trees, and by giving them only a liquor to drink made of what is before specified, with a little of this hay, they will become fat in a very short time, and with this liquour only you may keep as many swine as you please: and as for your Kine, you need not turn them into any grass at all, but keep them in a yard or some little parcel of ground, so you may save all your Muck, and they will thrive the better, being kept from the flies, which causeth them to waste themselves and their Milk, and in some grounds to spoil as much grass as they eat, by running about. I know a Gent' that keeps them tied up all summer as they do in winter, and finds greater benefit thereby, and in that manner likewise, he keeps his feeding cattle all the summer, and feeds them off presently, without any considerable trouble and with very little charge.  
Item, A most excellent discovery with one slight ploughing and harrowing, or but raising the ground in the least kind, to enjoy six crops in one year, proportionable to the fruitfullest grass, and so constantly every year, without any further trouble or charge at all, which is so wonderfully fruitful for milch kine, that besides the double increase of milk, and better by far than any other milk, it will afford two skimmings of excellent cream, such and so good, that the like was never heard of, this exceeds all other food for cheese; and when all the cream is taken off, the milk will be as good again as any other in that kind, this seed will cost nothing, and will sow itself, after the first year, and will afford in seed above 1000 for one.  
Item, Another seed, that when grounds are laid down, and quite out of heart, the grass thereon will maintain the greatest sheep very lusty, and fit for slaughter, and yet there hardly appears any thing they can eat: This seed being provided and sown upon meadows and pasture, would mightily advantage the grass to very great perfection, with the application of the way for growthsomeness, but newly devised.  
Item, Another seed to be had, the grass thereof causeth cattle to give milk in abundance: you may sow your dry, heathy and barren grounds therewith; and such land as you intend to let lie, being out of heart, and not in a place convenient for muck, and sowing but once with this seed, it will last good seven years, without any further trouble. The ordinary burden is a load and a half per acre, and after seven years, you may break it up, and sow it with corn, without manuring, till it be out of heart, and then sow it with the same seed as formerly; for it doth very much fatten the ground, and enrich it, and will thrive extraordinary well upon dry land, where nothing else will grow, and when the grass and plants are destroyed with the parching heat of the sun, this flourisheth very much, and after seven years (if not with corn) you may sow the land again with the same seed, and all with little charge. The truth is, it will last 10, or 15 years. Sir Richard Weston saith, it will be cut seven or eight times in a Summer, but then the rich and fat grounds are best, and those that are high and dry.  
Another seed to be sown without manuring upon good land, but somewhat loose and light, not very dry, nor over moist, one bushel to six corn will serve, it's to be cut twice a year, and affords excellent winter pasture till March, and it is exceeding good for all kind of cattle, as well young as old, and exceedingly fatneth all sorts of cattle, and lean beasts especially, and horses will grow fat therewith in eight or ten days, and to milch kine it procureth exceeding great store of milk; after once sown, it will last near fifteen years, and the hay will continue good three years.  
To discover a grass growing here in England, in its natural soil, that being orderly husbanded, will transcend glover grass, Saint foin, Lucerne, or any other outlandish grasses whatsoever.  
Item, A root ordinarily to be had, which will increase wonderfully with little charge or trouble, it will feed all kind of cattle, horses and swine especially, very fat, as those formerly, without either grass or corn; and will feed poultry likewise, as before; it will make very good bread, cakes, paste, pies, and both crust without and food with in, and will hardly be destroyed once planted, but will constantly increase of themselves, they will likewise grow, being cut in flices, and so put into the earth.  
Item, A seed which may likewise be disposed of without ploughing, upon very poor ground, deemed uncapable of any fertility at all, which will advantage the ground very much, and afford at least 30l an acre per annum, or perform what was professed before, for all sorts of cattle, poultry, &c.  
Item, Another seed, the fruit thereof upon the same sort of ground, though very mean, will feed all kind of cattle, especially milch kine; increasing their milk exceedingly, as before, and will afford two crops a year.  
Item, Another seed that being tilled but once, will last without any further labour, trouble, or charge four years, and will mightily enrich improve and fatten the ground for goodly corn four years after, without manuring, and is excellent for horses, hunting-dogs, poultry and swine, and may be very well rated at a 100lib. per annum, and upwards, the benefit and great increase thereof truly considered.  
Item, Another great experiment in ordinary grounds, without muck, which (by a new invention) five acres thereof have this last year afforded above 200lib. benefit in one acre, rent and all charges defrayed, and being still ordered (according to directions) will continue no less advantageous, and enrich the ground very much.  
Item, Trees to be had here in England, but in one place, which being rightly planted (though in ordinary grounds) one tree will (in a short time) afford out of the Root thirty plants, and every one of those thirty will in a short time afford thirty more, and these trees are at their full growth in twenty years; and after seven years, every tree improveth yearly worth 1. s. a tree until its time be up. For pleasantness and use, this tree hardly hath its parallel, they need be planted but ten foot distant, and they much advantage the grass: besides, there is another seed to be sown amongst them, that will (in some places) far exceed the benefit of the grass, the trees being very tall and strait, useful for timber, carts, trays, boles, &c. being very white and tough. By 30lib. deposited in a way concerning these trees, may be returned at 20 years' end 10000lib. benefit.  
Item, To raise wood more in twenty years, by new ways lately discovered, then in forty years naturally.  
Item, Experienced ways lately in practice by divers Gent', and a long time continued by some of them, to preserve and feed horses for labour and travel in the best condition, without Hay or Corn, several ways, and neither of them instanced before.  
There is a Knight in the country that hath advanced his estate above 1000 lib. per annum by planting of one ordinary commodity in the country on the coursest sort of ground, which may be performed in some places by others.  
A Gent' by planting an Acre and half of ground received lately near 200lib. profit in one year without tillage, these two not hinted before, and to be peracted by others, and the last with an additional benefit.  
Item, By two sorts of Creatures ordinarily to be had, may be gained de claro, above 500lib. per annum; and by another, there hath been and may be got above 500lib. per annum; and either of them with very little trouble, and the charges of all three not considerable, and all to be acted within doors.  
A Gent' in Northfolk made lately 10000lib. of a piece of ground, not forty yards square, and yet neither mineral nor mettle; and as beneficial places may be discovered elsewhere in England.  
To advance Ground from 5. s. an Acre to 50lib. an Acre per annum, by ways apparently maintaineable, and not by tillage.  
Item, After seven years to make 20lib. an Acre per annum constantly, without tillage as the other, with very little charge, and with the ordinary sort of ground not hinted before.  
Item, A ground in Kent of 30 Acres did lately produce in one year, 1000lib. benefit without tillage.  
To make Grapes grow upon Oaks, more plentifully, as pleasantly, and as full of juice as any other Grapes whatsoever.  
Item, To make Grapes ripe as soon as cherries.  
Item, Perfect directions for a vineyard, there having been many planted here in England, till most abusively put down, for the benefit of custom, the increase of a vineyard being by computation four tuns per Acre, an old vine lately in Kent producing near a hogshead of pure wine.  
Item, There is a Root ordinarily to be had, that will grow as plentifully as carrots, that hath been formerly sold for 1. s. the pound, and will now sell for at least 7d the pound, not instanced before, being a staple commodity.  
Item, Seven several sorts of seeds, that will yield either of them constantly above 20lib. an Acre per annum, not hinted before.  
Item, another seed that will afford 20lib. and upwards an Acre per annum, nothing thereunto belonging being edible or appliable for health.  
Item, 50lib. an Acre offered this year, in glocester-shire, and so for many Acres, these nine being neither of the five sorts following viz. Oade, osiers, Rape seed, Fennel seed, or Safforn.  
Divers excellent and new discovered experiments to avoid the smuttiness of Corn, and mildews.  
Out of Land worn out of heart and naturally poor, to have a crop of Oats, and a full crop of excellent fruitful Hay after it, the same year, and to advantage the ground for crops of grass afterwards exceedingly.  
Item, To enrich Meadows in a very high nature without Muck, or any course of watering, and to make them yield five times more grass then formerly.  
Item, To make rushy ground to bear very good grass, and to destroy rushes, fearn, &c.  
Item, Another way to make an acre of meadow, every year, as good as two acres, only by casting a seed amongst it: which may be ordinarily provided for other meadows.  
Item, A seed that afforded (being sown in York shire) out of two pecks and half, as much as was sold for near 40lib. which may be performed elsewhere.  
Item, By laying out 5. s. per acre, to reap it in the pounds.  
Item, When lands are tilled till they will bear no corn, and mowed till they yield no grass, to restore them both to good heart and strength, and to far greater fruitfulness than ever they yielded before, without laying so much as a load of muck thereon, or without any considerable charge or trouble. And by a way likewise newly experimented, to make a barren field quite out of heart, or being the last year of a lease, to yield an extraordinary good crop of corn, without muck, and with no charge, and but little trouble.  
Item, A late experiment, no way repugnant to the dictates of common reason, to cause lands (by God's permission) they being capable of improvement, to return 20. haply 100 for one, either in wheat or barley, and to make it most apparent by luculent demonstrations, that there hath, and may be made a greater return by far of either.  
Item, After a man hath tilled and sowed a parcel of ground, at the full height and charge, according to his uttermost skill and experience in husbandry, to undertake to dispose of the one half part of the same parcel, so that (with the blessing of God) it may happily quadruple the benefit of the other part, and to make the same advantage of any other field of corn, and much more, if I may have the total dispose thereof.  
Item, Directions concerning the great variety of compost for the several conditions and capacities of grounds, with divers new discoveries relating thereunto: The true understanding and practice thereof will (under God) enrich any industrious man whatsoever.  
Item, A clear demonstration (by ways consonant to reason, and not formerly known or thought on) to make exceeding rich muck in abundance, 1000 loads and upwards, if you please, for all sorts of grounds, according to the capacities they lie under, several ways, with little charge; wherewith any man may be sufficiently furnished, and so good, that the world cannot afford better, without the use of sheep.  
Item, A very late, but a most certain and infallible experiment, to be confirmed by principles of sound reason, visible to any dubious and unbelieving mind whatsoever, to draw forth the earth to her uttermost fruitfulness, and to moisten, fatten, and fertilise sandy, dry and hilly grounds, and to water them sufficiently in times of drought, and to make them capable of vast advantages both for grass and corn, and to continue them in the highest condition, without carrying a load of muck thereunto; which way may be enjoyed in a plentiful manner, the charge not considerable: this will likewise produce much fertility to all manner of quicksets, all sorts of plants, all kind of trees, and to gardens likewise, being seasonably applied; which may be made out clear, easy and no ways obstructive to ordinary apprehensions. And these two last may be performed accordingly throughout England.  
Item, To make the tenth part of seed corn to serve with far greater advantage then with the usual proportion.  
Item, A late rare invention, to make five loads of dung more effectual than twenty loads of the usual compost, and one acre of ground generally to extend as far, and to be as beneficial for corn as three acres, and to last so constantly.  
Item, Whereas there hath been a very great destruction of beans and pease these late years, by worms and other creeping things, men being ignorant of any remedy therefore, to discover a rational and an experimented easy way, generally to destroy them, both in cornfields, gardens, and at the roots of trees, and very much to advantage and fertilise the grounds and trees thereby.  
To make grounds free from rotting of cattle, and to prescribe remedies to cure the rot if not too far gone, and to prevent the same.  
Item, An excellent experiment to make trees bear much and exceeding good fruit.  
That I know where there is now to be had, 500 acres of ground entire at 8. s. the acre, within 15. miles of London, whereby there may be justifiably raised 8000 lib. per annum, and so proportionably with less parcels, which may be performed in other places accordingly.  
Item, To make cattle, swine, and poultry fat with water only, mingled with earth.  
Item, several excellent experiments to help maturation.  
Item, A sort of ducks to be now had, that will lay two eggs a day constantly.

Sir, If any thing in my Discoveries, &c. happen to be destructive to your credency, I crave the candour of your mild and gentle censure, and so much favour, that I may by your fair leave illustrate all Dubiums; the clouds of which obstruction I shall (by your admission) most apparently dispel, both by rational confirmations, and experimental Attestations. Et quod tibi non vis fieri, alteri ne facias.
