of that which is occaſioned by the other Brooks, to the right hand
of the Po of Argenta; foraſmuch as the ſaid Po wanting all the
water of Reno, it would of neceſſity come to ebb in ſuch man
ner, that the Valleys would have a greater Fall into the ſame,
and conſequently it would take in, and ſwallow greater abun
dance of water; and by this means the Ditches and Draines
of the Up-Lands would likewiſe more eaſily Fall into them; eſ
pecially if the ſcouring of Zenzalino were brought to perfection,
by which the waters of Marrara would fall into Marmorta: And
if alſo that of Baſtia were enlarged, and finiſhed, by which there
might enter as much water into the ſaid Po of Argenta, as is taken
from it by the removal of Reno; although that by that meanes
the water of the Valleys would aſſwage double: Nor would the
people of Argenta, the Iſles of S. Giorgio, and Comacchio have any
cauſe to complain; for that there would not be given to them
more water than was taken away: Nay ſometimes whereas they
had Muddy waters, they would have clear; nor need they to fear
any riſing: And furthermore, by this means a very great quan
tity of ground would be reſtored to culture; For the effecting of
all which, the ſumm of 50. thouſand Crowns would go very far,
and would ſerve the turn at preſent touching thoſe Brooks, car
rying them a little farther in the mean time, to fill up the greater
cavities of the Valleys, that we might not enter upon a vaſter
and harder work, that would bring with it the difficulties of other
operations, and ſo would hinder the benefit which theſe people
expect from the paternal charity of His Holineſs.
