Question

Can someone rephrase this in simpler terms

“As touching the quality of this country, three things there be, which in few years may bring this colony to perfection; the English plow, vineyards, and cattle . . . All of our riches for the present consist in tobacco, wherein one man by his own labor has in one year, raised to himself to the value of 200 pounds sterling; and another by the means of six servants has cleared at one crop a thousand pound English. These be true, yet indeed rare examples, yet possible to be done by others.”

Answer 1

as nice as the goodness of country, three things are to be stated, these three things may bring the colony to perfection;The three things are the English plow, vineyards, and cattle... All of our riches right now are tobacco, one man must on his own labor for one year to get, raise it himself to the value of 200 pounds of sterling; and another thing is that six servants has cleared to the amount of one crop a thousand pound English. These are true, but are not usually examples, but are possible for others to do.
