What
manner
of
Husbandrie
is
entreated
of
in
the
Discourse
following
.
EVen
as
the
manner
of
building
vsed
at
this
day
,
The
varietie
of
Countries
causeth
a
diuers
manner
of
labouring
of
the
earth
.
for
the
couering
and
rest
of
men
,
is
nor
like
vnto
that
of
old
time
:
so
we
see
the
manner
of
the
labouring
of
the
earth
for
the
nourishment
and
sustenance
of
the
same
,
to
differ
greatly
,
according
to
the
Countries
,
Soyle
,
Grounds
,
and
Situation
of
the
Places
wherein
they
are
seated
:
yea
,
there
is
not
so
much
as
their
language
,
apparrell
,
or
household-stuffe
and
working
tooles
,
but
they
change
after
the
fashions
of
Countries
,
which
notwithstanding
doe
not
hinder
,
but
that
in
euerie
thing
wee
may
be
as
well
fitted
as
they
which
went
before
vs
.
By
this
we
may
see
our
late
kinde
of
Husbandrie
to
attaine
and
bring
with
it
the
like
issue
and
effects
which
that
of
the
Auncients
did
,
which
is
nothing
else
,
but
to
liue
of
the
encrease
of
the
Earth
,
well
husbanded
and
tilled
by
vs
.
Wherefore
I
haue
thought
it
impertinent
and
vnseemely
to
tie
my self
to
the
seuerall
sorts
of
labour
vsed
of
men
in
times
past
,
and
that
because
that
Countries
inhabited
by
diuers
sorts
of
people
,
haue
,
according
to
the
seuerall
varietie
of
them
,
euerie
one
affoorded
many
particular
and
seuerall
sorts
of
liuing
;
as
also
for
that
it
hath
alwaies
beene
the
custome
of
men
(
to
the
end
they
might
the
more
easily
fit
and
apply
themselues
to
the
good
liking
of
others
)
to
compose
and
frame
themselues
according
to
the
manners
of
the
Countrey
,
without
affecting
,
either
by
the
reading
of
old
Writers
,
or
their
owne
ouer-reaching
curiositie
(
the
ruine
and
ouerthrow
of
all
good
wits
)
Ouer-much
curiositie
the
ruin●
of
good
wits
.
so
many
new
inuented
fashions
of
Building
,
Tilling
,
Speaking
,
or
Writing
:
seeing
,
that
by
such
meanes
,
in
seeming
to
reforme
things
without
the
perfect
knowledge
of
them
,
men
haue
beene
brought
oftentimes
vtterly
to
spill
,
spoyle
,
and
marre
the
same
.
And
therefore
I
would
not
haue
you
to
maruell
,
if
the
Frame
and
Toile
vsed
about
our
French
Countrey-Farme
be
not
altogether
like
to
that
of
former
and
auncient
daies
:
What
manner
of
Husbandrie
i●
entreated
of
in
that
which
follow●th
.
for
it
is
my
purpose
(
following
the
Prouerbe
,
which
sayth
,
That
we
must
learne
the
manners
of
our
auncient
predecessours
,
and
practise
according
to
the
present
Age
)
to
lay
out
vnto
you
the
waies
,
so
to
dwell
vpon
,
order
,
and
maintaine
a
Farme
,
Meese
,
or
Inheritance
in
the
Fields
(
name
it
as
you
please
)
as
that
it
may
keepe
and
maintaine
with
the
profit
and
encrease
thereof
,
a
painefull
and
skilfull
Husbandman
,
The
name
of
the
Country
●ouse
〈◊〉
a
Farme
,
Meese
,
or
field
Inheritance
.
and
all
his
Familie
:
whereupon
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
the
countrey
inhabitants
doe
call
it
at
this
day
the
onely
or
principall
and
greatest
gaine
that
is
,
because
no
other
thing
bringeth
more
gaine
vnto
the
master
thereof
than
the
earth
,
if
it
be
well
husbanded
and
reasonably
maintained
.
Now
for
as
much
as
(
with
good
reason
)
my
countreymen
of
England
may
obiect
against
this
Worke
,
The
Translator
.
that
albeit
it
may
sort
well
with
any
soyle
that
is
in
any
degree
(
how
much
collaterall
soeuer
)
allyed
to
this
temper
,
clyme
,
&
mixture
of
the
French
:
yet
to
vs
that
are
so
much
remote
in
nature
and
qualitie
,
and
who●e
Earth
giueth
vnto
vs
,
for
our
most
generall
profit
,
things
and
fruits
,
either
little
,
or
very
stranger-wise
,
acquainted
with
them
;
and
in
as
much
as
there
may
be
found
that
difference
in
our
labours
,
which
may
equall
the
difference
of
our
tasts
,
they
being
as
farre
from
our
Barley
as
wee
from
their
Vine
,
and
wee
as
farre
from
their
Fruits
as
they
from
our
Woolls
;
The
English
practise
added
to
the
French
.
I
will
,
after
the
faithfull
translation
of
their
noble
experiences
,
adde
the
difference
of
our
customes
,
and
to
their
labors
adde
the
experience
and
knowledge
of
our
best
Husbandmen
,
hoping
thereby
to
giue
a
publike
content
to
ou●
Nation
▪
who
seeing
the
true
difference
of
both
Kingdomes
,
may
,
out
of
an
easie
iudgement
,
both
compare
and
collect
that
which
shall
be
fittest
for
his
vse
and
commoditie
.
CHAP.
II.
A
briefe
shew
of
that
which
shall
more
largely
●e
described
in
that
which
followeth
.
THe
better
to
helpe
the
memorie
,
The
Summe
of
the
first
Booke
.
and
as
it
were
by
the
way
of
pointing
out
of
our
French
Husbandrie
,
I
will
propound
and
set
before
you
a
champion
place
seated
in
such
a
coast
or
corner
as
you
may
find
,
not
as
you
could
chuse
,
and
there
wee
will
prepare
,
without
extraordinarie
costs
or
charges
,
a
House
with
all
such
appurtenances
(
or
verie
neere
such
)
as
are
fit
and
requisite
for
our
time
,
as
good
Cato
hath
drawne
and
described
for
his
,
in
that
Treatise
of
Husbandrie
set
downe
by
him
for
the
Commonwealth
of
the
Romans
:
And
in
the
same
place
we
will
entreat
of
the
state
and
dutie
of
the
Farmer
,
his
Wife
,
his
People
,
Cattell
,
flying
Fowles
,
and
such
other
things
.
At
the
one
side
of
this
House
,
The
S●mme
of
the
second
Booke
euen
iust
in
the
place
whereupon
the
Sunne
riseth
,
and
in
one
part
thereof
wee
will
place
the
household
garden
,
which
neere
vnto
the
borders
of
his
quicke-set
hedge
shall
containe
a
frame
of
Railes
in
forme
of
an
Arbor
for
Vines
to
runne
vpon
,
for
the
furnishing
of
our
household
store
with
Veriuice
,
and
other
necessarie
hearbes
for
the
house
:
and
we
shall
not
altogether
neglect
or
forget
to
prouide
and
plant
in
the
same
place
hearbes
sit
for
medicine
.
And
yet
furthermore
in
this
garden
also
you
shall
plant
things
to
make
your
profit
vpon
,
as
Saffron
,
Teazill
,
Woad
,
red
Madder
,
Hempe
,
and
Flaxe
,
if
it
seeme
not
better
to
reserue
this
part
of
Husbandrie
for
fields
that
are
full
of
Fennes
or
waterish
Places
.
In
the
other
part
wee
shall
make
a
garden
for
flowers
and
sweet
smels
,
with
his
ornaments
and
quarters
,
garnished
with
many
strange
Trees
.
About
the
Hedge
we
shall
set
,
for
to
make
pottage
withall
,
Pease
,
Beanes
,
and
other
sorts
of
Pulse
,
as
also
Melons
,
Citrons
,
Cucumbers
,
Artichokes
,
and
such
like
:
in
which
place
wee
shall
entreat
of
Bees
.
Next
to
our
gardens
were
must
dresse
some
well-defenced
piece
of
ground
or
greene
plot
for
fruits
,
The
Summe
of
the
third
Booke
.
and
there
place
our
nurcerie
for
kernels
and
feeds
,
and
there
plant
such
stocks
as
whereon
we
intend
to
graft
.
After
,
or
next
hereto
,
our
square
of
old
growne
trees
,
and
such
as
haue
beene
transplanted
,
taken
vp
,
and
remoued
:
and
together
with
these
things
we
will
write
of
Silkewormes
,
and
prescribe
the
waies
to
distill
Waters
and
Oyles
,
as
also
to
make
Cyders
.
Next
in
order
to
our
foresaid
Greene
plot
,
The
Summe
of
the
fourth
Book
.
lying
neere
some
one
or
other
little
Brooke
,
we
are
to
lay
our
Medow
Grounds
,
or
Pastures
for
feeding
,
compassed
about
with
Osier
,
Elme
,
Aller-tree
,
and
Withie
;
and
by
the
borders
of
such
Hedge
we
will
prouide
some
Poole
of
standing
water
or
running
Spring
:
and
next
in
order
to
these
,
the
great
and
large
Medowes
for
the
prouision
and
reuenues
of
the
Lord
.
Betwixt
the
South
and
the
North
we
will
appoint
▪
and
set
downe
Corne-grounds
,
The
Summe
of
the
fi●●
Booke
.
and
teach
how
to
measure
them
,
and
describe
their
fashion
and
manner
of
●illing
▪
in
which
place
wee
will
speake
of
making
and
baking
of
Bread
;
and
ouer
and
aboue
the
moitie
or
halfe
part
of
a
hanging
thing
,
and
the
moitie
of
a
Butt
or
little
Hill
.
In
the
place
which
is
neerest
vnto
the
South
,
The
Summe
of
the
sixt
Booke
.
we
will
plant
the
Vine
,
and
withall
declare
the
ordering
of
the
same
:
Wee
will
speake
of
Vintage
,
and
the
making
of
common
and
medicinable
Wines
.
And
thereto
wee
will
adde
the
diuers
sorts
of
Wines
which
grow
in
our
Countrey
of
France
.
Betwixt
the
North
and
the
East
we
will
place
our
Warren
,
The
Summe
of
the
seventh
Booke
.
either
vpon
some
Hill
,
or
in
some
other
place
fit
to
hunt
in
,
and
in
the
higher
grounds
wee
will
plant
small
Wood
and
great
Timber-trees
:
not
forgetting
,
in
the
meane
time
,
any
thing
which
may
appertaine
to
the
ordering
and
gouerning
of
Wood
,
or
concerning
Carpentrie
.
We
will
also
make
mention
of
Parkes
for
wild
Beasts
,
of
the
hunting
of
them
,
but
that
in
a
few
words
(
for
there
is
no
need
that
a
good
Householder
should
trouble
his
braine
with
much
hunting
)
and
of
the
breeding
of
Herons
.
Finally
,
we
will
briefely
describe
the
order
and
manner
of
taking
of
Birds
.
So
that
after
all
these
things
,
there
shall
not
much
remaine
further
to
be
added
hereunto
,
either
concerning
the
pleasure
or
prof●t
of
a
Countrey
Farme
,
especially
such
a
one
as
a
man
ought
to
desire
,
which
would
liue
carefully
,
and
within
the
compasse
of
reason
,
vpon
the
labouring
of
his
Land
.
CHAP.
III.
What
things
are
requisite
before
we
goe
in
hand
with
building
of
this
Countrey
Farme
.
AS
concerning
the
proprietie
of
Inheritance
(
whereof
manie
Authors
,
both
Greeke
and
Latine
,
haue
entreated
so
exactly
and
curiously
)
I
doe
not
at
all
intend
to
incomber
my selfe
therewith
,
supposing
,
that
this
Countrey
Farme
,
and
the
Land
belonging
vnto
it
,
is
either
descended
by
succession
,
and
that
there
is
an
intent
to
make
it
in
such
case
as
may
serue
most
commodiously
to
the
ease
and
good
liking
of
the
owner
:
or
that
(
if
you
haue
purchased
and
bought
it
with
your
money
)
you
haue
c●eered
it
from
all
incombrances
and
claimes
before
you
goe
about
the
building
and
sitting
of
it
in
euerie
point
as
you
would
haue
it
.
For
like
as
some
say
,
The
Kitchin
must
be
the
first
piece
of
building
in
a
good
house
.
that
the
first
foundation
of
a
good
House
must
be
the
Kitchin
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Reuenues
and
Grounds
thereto
belonging
for
the
maintenance
of
the
same
:
euen
so
,
the
first
point
and
principall
care
of
an
Householder
,
before
he
build
or
trim
vp
his
House
,
is
to
bethinke
himselfe
how
he
may
make
the
state
entire
and
absolutely
vnto
himselfe
,
and
so
to
haue
nothing
to
doe
with
such
as
are
vnder
age
,
Creditors
,
Rentors
,
or
others
in
superiour
place
,
which
may
interrupt
and
commaund
him
from
his
intended
purposes
and
necessarie
affaires
.
Purchase
by
statute
,
the
surest
of
al
others
.
He
must
also
see
,
that
all
such
Charges
,
Rites
,
and
Customes
,
as
Law
doth
require
,
be
fully
answered
,
and
by
name
that
it
be
cleere
of
all
former
Sales
▪
Bargaines
,
and
Statutes
,
which
is
the
safest
manner
of
purchasing
in
these
daies
:
That
there
be
〈◊〉
foolish
buyers
than
sellers
.
for
there
are
found
a
farre
greater
number
of
foolish
buyers
than
of
foolish
sellers
.
Let
there
be
past
a
yeare
and
a
day
before
he
make
any
exchange
,
raising
and
mouing
of
new
debts
,
for
the
cleering
of
his
Inheritance
,
and
let
him
not
lay
out
to
the
value
of
a
penny
,
before
he
haue
fully
ended
all
things
,
measured
and
bounded
his
grounds
from
his
neighbors
,
and
assured
his
peace
euen
against
the
most
wayward
and
troublesome
.
To
be
short
,
let
him
be
free
from
all
manner
of
Courts
and
Sutes
:
and
if
it
cannot
be
otherwise
,
but
that
one
or
other
controuersie
doe
still
hang
vpon
him
(
seeing
,
That
Land
〈◊〉
stri●e
in
hand
.
as
some
men
say
,
that
Lands
doe
vnauoidably
inferre
and
bring
with
them
strife
in
the
Law
)
yet
let
it
be
of
such
nature
,
as
that
he
may
be
plaintife
rather
than
defendant
:
I
meane
in
respect
of
duties
to
be
performed
to
the
chiefe
Lord
,
and
other
impositions
by
the
Prince
;
in
discharging
whereof
,
euen
to
the
vttermost
Penny
,
Capon
,
or
whatsoever
else
it
be
,
he
ought
to
be
no
lesse
carefull
and
diligent
,
than
in
mending
one
tyle
in
the
roofe
of
his
house
,
which
in
course
of
time
being
left
vnrepaired
and
vnput
in
againe
,
causeth
others
also
to
fall
,
and
so
causeth
great
annoyance
to
the
lodgings
vnderneath
.

as
that

then

for
the

the
Prouerbe
be
true
)
than
a
Wheele-barrow
for
the
first
hundred
yeares
,
and
a
Banner
for
the
second
hundred
yeares
.
If
I
should
here
goe
about
but
once
to
imagine
such
a
situation
of
a
Countrie
House
,
as
should
be
so
perfect
and
exquisite
,
at
that
nothing
should
be
wanting
therein
,
I
might
iustly
seeme
to
my selfe
to
be
void
of
all
reason
.
It
is
verie
true
,
that
if
anie
such
place
could
be
found
,
〈…〉
where
the
Aire
,
Water
,
and
Earth
did
all
affoord
their
best
and
most
desired
fauours
and
qualities
,
it
would
much
auaile
and
make
for
the
purpose
:
but
so
it
is
,
that
neither
Emperours
nor
Kings
could
euer
attaine
the
skill
to
content
themselues
otherwise
than
with
the
situation
of
their
owne
Countries
:
some
of
them
sometimes
being
too
hot
,
too
cold
,
verie
subiect
to
corruption
and
putrifaction
;
othersome
lesse
profitable
for
the
bringing
forth
;
and
some
againe
of
a
meane
and
indifferent
condition
,
and
contrariwise
.
Notwithstanding
,
although
the
place
be
not
so
fertile
as
a
man
could
wish
,
neither
yet
so
commodious
as
that
great
Husbandman
Cato
doth
desire
it
;
yet
it
must
be
prouided
and
foreseene
aboue
all
other
things
,
that
it
haue
the
benefit
of
a
good
Aire
:
for
suppose
,
that
the
grounds
were
verie
fruitfull
,
and
endued
with
all
the
best
properties
and
qualities
that
a
man
cou●d
possibly
wish
to
be
in
a
champian
ground
;
A
good
aire
〈…〉
Farme
.
yet
notwithstanding
,
if
the
Aire
be
pestilentiall
and
infectious
,
or
not
found
,
it
should
argue
nothing
but
great
foolishnesse
in
a
man
thereto
imploy
his
cost
and
paines
.
For
where
a
man
is
in
continuall
danger
of
sicknesse
,
or
of
death
,
not
onely
the
gathering
of
Fruits
,
but
also
the
life
of
the
Workman
is
continually
hazarded
:
or
rather
,
which
is
more
truely
said
,
death
●s
there
more
certaine
than
any
profit
.
Wherefore
(
if
it
be
possible
)
you
must
make
choice
of
a
place
farre
from
marishes
,
farre
from
the
Sea
shore
,
and
where
as
neither
the
Southerne
nor
Northerne
winds
doe
ordinarily
blow
,
and
which
lyeth
not
altogether
open
to
the
South
Sunne
,
nor
yet
vnto
the
North
:
but
principally
see
that
it
be
placed
neere
vnto
some
one
or
other
good
and
honest
neighbour
,
Neere
vnto
a
good
neighbor
.
seeing
it
is
an
insupportable
thing
to
be
daily
haunted
of
a
brawling
and
wicked
neighbour
:
let
it
not
be
placed
neere
to
Holds
or
Townes
of
Garrison
,
thereby
to
auoid
the
outrages
of
Tyrannie
,
and
inrodes
of
Souldiors
:
Farre
from
places
of
garrison
.
let
it
in
like
manner
be
farre
from
Riuers
and
Brookes
,
which
are
subiect
to
ouerflow
,
and
that
in
respect
of
the
vnauoidable
charges
for
the
repayring
of
such
ruines
and
spoyle
as
such
ouerflowings
doe
cause
.
Farre
from
Riuers
and
Brookt
And
yet
I
could
willingly
wish
,
and
greatly
desire
,
that
it
might
not
be
farre
off
from
some
smooth
and
gentle
streame
,
able
to
beare
a
ship
,
to
the
end
that
victuals
may
with
the
lesse
cost
be
transported
thence
to
other
places
for
your
better
commoditie
sake
:
as
also
neere
some
great
good
Towne
,
that
so
the
things
of
readiest
sale
may
be
sold
for
the
best
aduancement
and
making
of
the
most
of
the
reuenues
of
the
same
.
Although
to
wish
to
haue
a
Farme
in
euerie
point
so
perfect
and
well
seated
,
as
that
nothing
should
be
wanting
vnto
it
,
were
(
as
hath
beene
said
)
an
vnreasonable
thing
:
as
it
is
also
to
expect
or
looke
for
grounds
and
fields
so
well
conditioned
,
as
a
man
could
desire
in
a
ground
of
speciall
and
principall
praise
and
commendation
.
It
is
true
,
that
besides
that
Necessitie
doth
beget
skill
,
and
prouoke
and
stirre
vp
men
to
take
all
possible
paine
,
industrie
,
and
care
;
it
doth
also
procure
,
that
there
should
not
that
discommoditie
be
found
to
offer
it selfe
,
which
shall
not
be
recompenced
and
counteruailed
either
by
one
or
other
commoditie
:
as
for
example
,
in
hot
places
there
are
growne
good
Wines
and
Fruits
of
long
continuance
:
in
cold
places
,
great
store
of
sweet
waters
,
and
sometimes
sea-water
,
which
greatly
encreaseth
their
profit
:
in
others
,
for
the
most
part
,
when
the
Earth
is
barren
in
the
vpper
part
,
it
containeth
some
good
things
vnderneath
,
as
it
falleth
in
Stone-pits
,
Mynes
,
It
behoueth
v●
to
content
our selues
with
that
which
God
and
Nature
affoordeth
.
and
such
other
things
,
which
make
the
change
for
the
better
.
So
then
wee
are
to
hold
our selues
content
with
such
estate
and
condition
as
the
place
shall
affoord
,
where
we
must
dwell
and
settle
our
habitation
:
and
if
it
be
not
such
as
some
curious
man
in
his
desire
,
or
one
that
is
hard
to
please
,
might
require
and
looke
for
,
then
wee
shall
straine
our selues
to
mend
it
by
the
meanes
see
downe
hereafter
.
There
are
verie
few
Farmes
to
be
found
so
seated
,
as
that
there
is
not
something
to
be
supplyed
,
as
want
of
Water
in
high
and
ascending
places
;
such
as
are
the
Countries
of
Beaux
and
Campaigne
,
notwithstanding
that
their
grounds
there
be
strong
,
as
it
happeneth
in
rising
and
mountainous
places
:
too
great
store
of
water
in
falling
grounds
and
long
valleyes
,
such
as
are
to
be
found
in
some
places
of
Sauoy
,
Daulphine
,
Auuergne
,
and
Gascoigne
,
in
which
places
there
is
more
pasture
than
tillage
:
other
quarters
are
giuen
by
nature
to
be
sandie
,
as
towards
the
Towne
of
Estamps
,
Saint
Marturin
de
l'Archaut
,
in
Solongue
,
and
in
the
Countrey
of
Lands
,
which
notwithstanding
cease
not
to
be
moist
and
waterish
:
other
quarters
are
chalkie
and
clayie
,
as
towards
Rheims
,
Troy
,
and
Chalons
in
Campaigne
:
othersome
are
stonie
,
as
towards
Saint
Lou
de
S●rans
,
Tonnerre
,
Vezelay
in
Daulphine
,
and
in
the
Pyrene
Mountaines
,
Rock●e
grounds
good
for
the
bearing
of
Vines
,
and
so
for
such
Countries
as
a
bound
with
Vines
.
where
is
to
be
found
great
store
of
excellent
Marble
:
and
some
are
rockie
,
which
are
most
fit
for
the
Countries
abounding
with
Vines
.
Howsoeuer
the
case
stand
,
the
building
cannot
happen
in
so
inconuenient
and
strange
a
place
,
but
that
a
man
may
make
choice
to
take
the
best
quarter
for
the
Sunne-shine
,
as
that
which
is
most
for
the
health
and
wholesomenesse
of
the
inhabitants
,
and
apply
it
euerie
way
for
his
vse
and
ease
.
If
therefore
a
high
and
flat
place
,
as
Beaux
or
high
France
,
doe
want
Water
,
you
must
,
A
high
and
flat
Countrey
.
Pooles
.
Cesternes
.
for
a
supply
,
make
Pooles
right
ouer
against
your
Courts
,
and
Cesternes
in
your
Gardens
:
and
as
for
your
grounds
,
you
must
draw
furrowes
therein
in
such
sort
,
as
that
the
earth
,
cast
vp
by
the
way
,
may
retaine
moisture
a
long
time
:
and
if
the
ground
proue
it selfe
strong
,
you
shall
not
need
to
manure
and
dung
it
so
oft
,
neither
yet
to
let
it
lye
fallow
more
than
euerie
fourth
yeare
.
If
you
cast
Pits
,
you
must
digge
them
of
a
conuenient
widenesse
and
length
,
that
is
to
say
,
fouresquare
;
but
somewhat
more
long
than
wide
,
Pits
called
Aranques
.
after
the
fashion
of
the
Pits
Aranques
,
which
are
in
vse
in
the
gardens
of
Prouence
and
Languedoc
,
with
their
trough
laid
to
the
brinkes
of
the
Pits
,
to
receiue
such
water
as
is
drawne
:
but
if
the
water
be
so
low
in
the
ground
,
that
such
kind
of
Pits
cannot
be
made
,
then
there
must
Pits
be
made
to
go
with
a
wheele
,
and
those
so
large
,
as
that
at
euerie
draught
you
may
draw
vp
halfe
a
pipe
of
water
at
the
least
,
which
you
shall
emptie
into
particular
troughes
,
and
keepe
them
for
the
vse
of
your
People
and
Cattell
:
but
aboue
all
other
things
,
you
must
haue
a
speciall
care
to
gather
and
keepe
well
all
Raine
water
,
either
in
C●sterne
,
or
otherwise
.
The
Cesterne
shall
be
set
in
such
a
place
,
To
make
a
Cesterne
for
to
hold
and
keepe
Raine
water
.
as
that
it
may
receiue
all
that
commeth
from
such
spouts
as
are
belonging
to
roofes
or
lower
lofts
of
the
house
.
It
must
be
firmely
and
closely
paued
with
clay
and
mortar
,
and
after
drawne
ouer
and
floored
with
the
same
mortar
,
to
the
end
that
the
water
be
not
made
muddie
,
or
●ast
of
the
earth
:
and
if
there
happen
any
clift
or
chinke
,
you
must
stop
it
with
Cement
made
of
cleane
Haire
,
Tallow
,
vnquencht
Lime
,
and
yolkes
of
Egges
well
beat
and
made
into
powder
,
and
then
all
of
them
well
mixed
together
.
The
throat
or
passage
for
the
water
out
of
it
,
shall
be
such
as
that
appointed
for
the
Pits
or
Wells
▪
Some
cast
into
their
Cesternes
E●les
and
other
fresh
water
fish
for
to
be
fed
and
kept
there
,
to
the
end
that
the
water
may
become
the
lighter
by
reason
of
their
mouing
and
stirring
of
it
,
and
that
so
it
may
the
more
resemble
the
nature
of
running
water
:
but
indeed
such
water
is
nothing
wholesome
for
men
,
as
neither
yet
for
beasts
;
it
were
farre
better
to
straw
with
greene
hearbes
all
the
bottome
of
the
said
Cesterne
,
and
cast
in
little
pebbles
of
the
Riuer
vpon
them
,
for
by
this
meanes
rather
the
water
would
be
made
better
.
Moreouer
,
The
way
to
prepare
ground
for
the
bearing
of
wood
.
for
the
discommoditie
of
Wood
,
you
shall
make
leane
the
earth
in
certaine
places
neere
vnto
your
lodging
with
grosse
Sand
,
Fullers
earth
,
and
ashes
from
off
the
Earth
:
after
that
,
you
shall
either
sow
or
set
there
such
Trees
,
as
you
shall
thinke
that
may
serue
you
;
although
indeed
it
were
good
to
proue
what
kind
of
Trees
would
best
prosper
there
,
before
you
wholly
sow
or
set
it
.
If
your
place
extend
and
reach
vnto
some
running
streame
,
A
Country
neare
vnto
Riuers
.
your
medowes
shall
not
be
so
farre
off
from
it
as
your
house
;
which
,
to
be
too
neere
a
neighbour
vnto
Riuers
,
would
be
a
cause
of
procuring
Rheumes
,
and
the
falling
down
of
some
Roomes
:
and
yet
it
is
not
good
to
haue
it
too
farre
off
,
as
well
in
respect
of
watering
of
the
Cattell
,
as
for
the
washing
of
Buckes
,
Skinnes
,
Line
,
and
H●mpe
;
for
the
whiting
of
Webs
of
Cloth
,
if
so
be
that
you
intend
or
purpose
any
such
thing
;
for
the
grinding
of
your
Corne
,
as
also
(
if
onely
the
Riuer
neere
vnto
you
be
nauigable
)
to
send
that
which
you
reape
from
your
Fields
vnto
the
Towne
:
but
you
must
chuse
the
highest
peece
of
ground
to
build
your
dwelling
house
vpon
.
I
leaue
out
the
pleasures
of
Princes
and
great
noble
Personages
,
The
pleasures
of
Princes
.
who
for
their
delight
sake
doe
dwell
in
Summer
in
wattie
places
,
excellently
trimmed
and
beautified
with
waters
,
and
furnished
with
all
delights
:
for
our
householder
may
not
in
any
case
charge
himselfe
with
further
costs
,
than
this
his
state
may
well
beare
:
for
Princes
haue
wherewith
they
may
be
at
their
change
and
varietie
of
lodgings
,
according
to
the
changes
and
alterations
of
the
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
and
to
turne
at
their
pleasure
the
square
into
the
round
,
and
contrariwise
.
In
a
drie
place
,
A
drie
Countrey
.
as
Beaux
and
Champaigne
,
and
the
mountainous
Countries
,
learn●
to
set
your
building
so
well
,
as
that
it
may
take
the
Easterne
Equinoctiall
,
and
not
lose
the
rising
of
the
Sunne
in
March
and
October
,
or
rather
in
September
.
If
there
be
euer
a
Hill
,
A
Hill
to
build
vpon
.
build
vpon
the
edge
thereof
,
making
choise
to
haue
your
lights
towards
the
East
:
but
if
you
be
in
a
cold
Countrey
,
open
your
lights
also
on
the
South
side
,
and
little
or
nothing
towards
the
North
,
if
it
be
not
in
your
Barnes
where
you
put
your
Corne
,
or
such
other
things
,
as
are
subiect
to
the
Weasell
and
other
vermine
.
Ouer-against
the
North
you
shall
procure
some
row
or
tuft
of
Trees
for
to
be
a
marke
vnto
you
of
your
place
,
and
defence
also
for
the
same
against
the
Northerne
windes
in
the
Winter
time
.
But
if
you
be
in
a
hote
countrey
,
you
must
set
your
said
tuft
of
Trees
on
the
South
side
,
against
such
windes
and
heat
of
Sunne
as
come
from
thence
,
and
boldly
open
your
lights
,
especially
in
the
said
Barnes
which
lie
on
the
North
side
.
Make
good
choice
of
the
best
parts
of
your
Grounds
,
to
be
most
fit
for
Fruits
,
Corne
,
and
Medowes
,
and
plant
your
Vineyard
,
to
haue
the
South
open
vpon
it
.
You
shall
make
also
certaine
crosse
Barnes
with
their
counter-windowes
,
in
the
place
towards
the
South
,
to
open
them
in
the
time
of
a
Northerne
wind
.
Such
places
are
found
in
Countries
full
of
Mountaines
,
which
doe
greatly
desire
the
East
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
would
therewithall
take
part
of
the
South
,
which
is
so
needfull
for
them
.
In
this
and
such
like
places
Wells
are
in
greater
request
,
and
much
more
necessarie
than
in
valleyes
and
plaine
grounds
,
and
that
wee
may
find
out
the
place
where
it
is
best
to
make
them
,
wee
must
chuse
the
Easterne
side
,
at
the
beginning
of
the
descent
,
somewhat
therewithall
bending
towards
the
North
,
but
wee
may
not
haue
any
thing
to
doe
with
the
Westerne
side
:
and
yet
somewhat
better
toward
the
South
,
where
hauing
ouer
night
digged
the
earth
in
diuers
places
the
quantitie
of
three
feet
ouer
and
fiue
in
depth
,
and
after
returning
in
the
morning
at
the
Sunne-rise
,
you
must
make
triall
how
it
soundeth
,
being
strucken
with
the
end
of
a
Holly
staffe
,
armed
at
the
said
end
with
some
round
peece
of
Iron
or
Latten
,
after
the
manner
of
the
end
of
a
Shepheards
staffe
without
the
Crooke
;
and
there
,
by
the
iudgement
of
the
eare
,
to
obserue
and
marke
how
it
soundeth
vnderneath
,
as
whether
it
sound
like
a
Mortar
,
or
like
fat
Earth
,
Potters
clay
,
or
some
other
that
is
very
hard
,
or
like
a
Glasse
halfe
broken
,
or
else
like
a
very
deepe
Pit
,
that
toucheth
the
Quarrie
or
Veine
lying
vnderneath
:
and
this
is
the
best
way
to
iudge
and
make
triall
.
Or
otherwise
in
the
moneth
of
August
or
September
,
at
such
time
as
the
Earth
is
verie
drie
,
a
little
before
the
Sunne
rise
,
you
must
lye
downe
flat
vpon
the
ground
,
hauing
your
face
toward
the
East
,
and
chuse
out
that
place
where
you
shall
espie
a
vapour
to
rise
vp
out
of
the
Earth
,
after
the
manner
of
little
Clouds
,
for
this
is
a
token
of
a
proud
(
or
plentifull
store
of
)
water
.
Or
else
to
make
a
shorter
triall
,
to
make
deepe
trenches
of
foure
foot
within
the
ground
,
and
therein
to
put
sponges
or
fleeces
of
Wooll
verie
drie
and
cleane
,
couering
them
with
boughs
of
Trees
,
or
leaues
of
Hearbes
:
then
,
after
some
time
,
to
take
them
out
of
the
Earth
,
and
they
being
wet
and
moist
,
doe
argue
abundance
of
water
,
according
to
the
qualitie
of
moisture
which
they
haue
within
them
:
whereas
if
on
the
contrarie
they
be
drie
when
they
be
taken
vp
,
it
argueth
that
there
is
no
water
to
be
come
by
.
Diuers
there
be
that
gather
figures
of
the
springing
vp
of
water
in
place
where
,
by
their
seeing
of
small
clouds
and
vapours
rising
from
thence
into
the
ayre
,
in
drie
,
faire
,
and
calme
seasons
.
But
howsoever
,
it
is
not
conuenient
to
content
ones
selfe
with
the
bare
viewing
of
the
hearbes
which
grow
thereupon
,
without
hauing
first
made
some
triall
:
for
vnder
Crowfoot
,
Folefoot
,
Plantaine
,
Dogtooth
,
Cinquefoile
,
Milfoile
,
and
three-leaued
Grasse
,
Water
is
not
farre
to
seeke
,
but
it
is
naught
worth
,
if
one
digge
not
verie
deepe
,
as
is
to
be
seene
at
Bagnolet
Belle-Ville
vpon
the
Sand
,
and
other
places
of
Liury
.
Vnder
Veruaine
is
oftentimes
found
good
Water
,
and
deepe
,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
ground
:
and
withall
,
if
the
head
doe
spring
from
grounds
apt
to
boyle
,
as
red
Sand
,
or
gray
Rocke
,
and
not
from
those
sides
which
by
and
by
are
dried
vp
.
Aboue
all
,
to
the
end
we
may
have
Wells
containing
water
of
a
good
rellish
,
〈…〉
and
such
as
will
neuer
drie
vp
,
we
must
make
choice
of
a
s●●die
,
blacke
,
grauelly
,
or
clayish
ground
,
or
such
a
one
as
is
full
of
pebbles
,
and
especially
that
which
is
mixed
of
pebbles
and
sand
together
,
but
neuer
of
that
water
which
floweth
from
Fullers
clay
,
mire
,
mudde
,
or
springeth
from
the
grounds
where
Sallowes
,
Roses
,
Reeds
,
and
other
such
Plants
,
which
are
engendred
of
a
watrie
humour
,
doe
grow
:
for
although
that
such
places
doe
yeeld
great
store
of
water
,
notwithstanding
that
water
is
naught
worth
,
and
will
easily
be
dried
vp
.
Wherefore
as
much
as
lyeth
in
you
procure
that
your
Wells
be
farre
off
from
such
ditches
,
as
wherein
they
lay
the
dung
of
Stables
,
Cattell
,
or
Swine-coats
to
rot
,
or
any
other
place
which
may
annoy
in
regard
of
the
pissing
of
beasts
,
if
they
be
not
well
digged
and
made
verie
deepe
.
Wells
of
good
Water
.
True
it
is
,
that
Wells
will
be
a
great
deal●
the
better
,
if
they
consist
of
a
high
rising
water
,
and
not
such
a
one
as
lyeth
deepe
in
the
earth
.
For
howsoeuer
that
such
Wells
be
lesse
hot
in
Winter
,
and
in
Summer
lesse
cold
,
yet
notwithstanding
it
shall
be
infinitely
better
,
because
it
hath
more
helpe
of
the
Sunne
and
Aire
,
which
are
the
two
things
which
doe
greatly
amend
and
make
better
the
water
:
and
if
necessitie
force
the
water
to
lye
so
deepe
and
low
,
wee
must
seeke
to
helpe
the
inconuenience
,
by
drawing
but
a
little
,
and
oft
,
for
the
iumbling
and
stirring
of
the
water
will
rectifie
it
:
and
amongst
other
things
,
you
must
haue
speciall
care
not
to
keepe
it
couered
.
Fountaines
Fountaines
.
in
like
manner
rising
from
such
places
of
Mountaines
,
are
had
in
request
,
as
well
for
the
profit
of
the
water
,
which
is
a
great
deale
better
and
more
pleasant
than
that
drawne
out
of
Wells
,
To
find
out
the
beads
of
Fountaines
.
as
also
for
the
beautifying
of
the
Country
Farme
.
And
for
to
find
their
Head
,
or
Spring
,
wee
must
vse
the
like
meanes
as
wee
haue
layd
downe
for
the
finding
of
Wells
,
excepted
that
wee
must
make
chiefe
choice
of
such
as
breake
forth
vpon
the
North
at
the
bottome
of
high
and
great
Mountains
,
hauing
hollow
places
,
and
compassed
about
with
plaines
,
for
in
such
plaine
grounds
the
water
gathereth
it selfe
together
,
and
distilleth
through
the
earth
.
Now
this
kind
of
prouision
of
water
is
when
you
desire
it
in
great
aboundance
:
but
if
you
stand
vpon
and
desire
the
best
and
most
excellent
water
,
you
must
make
choice
of
high
places
,
and
such
as
are
not
ouer-shadowed
,
the
fall
whereof
doth
enioy
the
Sunne-rising
,
for
water
out
of
such
Fountaines
is
a
great
deale
more
light
and
pleasant
in
tast
,
and
by
how
much
it
runneth
the
swifter
and
longer
way
in
the
Aire
and
Sunne
before
it
come
to
the
bottome
,
so
much
it
groweth
the
better
;
as
when
it
falleth
from
high
Rocks
,
it
is
(
as
it
were
)
beaten
and
broken
in
falling
through
the
downe-right
places
of
stones
and
craggednes●e
of
the
Rocks
.
We
must
also
see
that
such
Mountaines
,
be
full
of
Dogs-tooth
,
Plantaine
,
Fox-taile
,
wild
Penny-ryall
,
transmarine
Sage
,
which
is
called
Adianthum
,
Milfoile
,
Chameleon
,
and
generally
,
all
other
hearbes
and
plants
,
which
grow
without
being
planted
,
and
are
by
nature
greene
,
well
branched
,
good
and
thicke
,
and
well
flowred
.
The
time
most
apt
in
all
the
yeare
,
The
best
time
to
〈◊〉
out
Spring-heads
.
and
affoording
greatest
perseuerance
for
the
finding
out
of
the
heads
of
Wells
and
Fountaines
,
are
the
moneths
of
August
or
September
,
for
then
it
is
easie
to
know
the
greatnesse
of
the
head
,
when
the
earth
,
by
the
great
heat
of
Summer
,
hath
no
moisture
of
raine
left
remaining
in
it
,
and
then
also
we
may
gather
assurance
of
such
as
will
neuer
drie
vp
altogether
.
If
it
happen
that
the
head
Fountaine
be
somewhat
too
farre
from
the
Farme
,
〈…〉
you
may
force
the
water
to
come
thither
by
little
Riuers
,
or
rather
more
conueniently
by
cha●els
and
conduits
made
of
Lead
,
Wood
,
or
Pot-earth
:
the
best
are
made
of
Aller
tree
,
F●rre
tree
,
or
Pine
tree
,
out
of
which
distilleth
Perro●en
,
because
that
such
Trees
haue
an
oylie
humour
,
and
hot
,
which
easily
resisteth
the
hurtes
which
water
might
cause
:
Next
to
them
are
those
which
are
made
of
Pot-earth
,
if
that
the
water
carried
along
in
them
were
not
the
cause
of
breeding
obstruction
.
These
must
be
two
fingers
thicke
,
and
sharpe
at
one
end
the
length
of
halfe
a
foot
,
to
goe
the
one
of
them
into
the
other
:
the
worst
sort
is
those
made
of
Lead
,
because
the
water
carried
along
by
them
purchaseth
from
the
Lead
an
euill
qualitie
,
and
that
because
of
the
Ceruse
thereof
,
so
that
it
oftentimes
causeth
bloudie
fluxes
and
other
such
like
diseases
,
if
we
beleeue
Galen
and
them
which
for
this
cause
call
the
inhabitants
of
Paris
Squitters
,
because
they
vse
Fountaine-water
which
runneth
through
Leaden
pipes
:
which
point
notwithstanding
seemeth
not
to
be
without
all
doubt
,
seeing
that
Ceruse
cannot
breed
,
nor
be
made
of
Lead
,
without
vineger
,
and
for
that
we
see
also
diuers
Countries
doe
drinke
of
such
waters
,
without
being
troubled
with
bloudie
fluxes
:
whatsoeuer
it
is
,
wee
must
set
well
together
and
soulder
the
pipes
with
a
compound
made
of
vnquenched
lime
,
and
the
grea●e
of
a
hogge
,
or
of
Perrosen
and
the
whites
of
egges
,
or
of
lyme
,
whites
of
egges
,
oyle
,
and
the
filings
of
yron
,
because
that
all
these
things
doe
hinder
corruptions
and
rottennesse
which
the
water
might
cause
.
If
any
Mountaine
doe
hinder
the
laying
or
bringing
along
of
these
Pipes
,
wee
must
make
them
way
:
if
any
Valley
,
we
must
reare
arches
,
such
as
are
to
be
seene
in
a
Village
neere
vnto
Paris
,
called
Ar●ueil
,
and
that
because
of
those
said
arches
;
or
rayse
pillars
and
other
matter
to
support
those
water-passages
.
But
it
is
not
sufficient
to
haue
found
out
those
Heads
of
Wells
and
Fountaines
,
What
Waters
are
best
.
but
we
must
further
consider
of
the
goodnesse
and
wholesomenesse
of
the
Water
,
as
Aristotle
teacheth
vs
:
For
seeing
the
greatest
part
of
our
life
dependeth
vpon
the
vse
of
this
element
,
it
is
requisite
that
the
Master
of
the
Household
should
haue
care
to
procure
good
Water
,
in
as
much
as
Water
must
be
the
most
of
his
seruants
drinke
,
and
that
the
Bread
which
he
and
his
familie
doe
eat
,
is
kneaded
therewith
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
his
victuals
boyled
therein
.
The
best
and
most
wholesome
Water
of
all
others
is
Raine
Water
falling
in
Summer
,
when
it
thundereth
and
lightneth
verie
much
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
,
Raine
Water
causeth
costiuenes●e
and
obstructions
,
especially
that
which
is
kept
in
Cesternes
newly
made
,
and
that
by
reason
of
their
Mortar
wherewith
they
are
ouer-layd
:
It
doth
also
corrupt
very
quickly
(
that
onely
excepted
which
falleth
in
May
)
and
being
so
corrupted
,
it
ma●reth
the
voice
,
bringing
Hoarsenesse
,
and
a
little
Co●gh
.
Next
to
this
in
goodnesse
is
〈◊〉
Fountaine
Water
,
which
falleth
from
the
Mountaines
,
and
runneth
along
amo●gst
Stones
and
Rocks
.
Next
to
this
in
goodnesse
is
Well
Water
,
or
that
which
issueth
at
the
hanging
parts
of
the
Mountaines
,
or
that
which
springeth
in
the
bottome
of
a
Valley
.
The
fourth
different
sort
of
Waters
is
that
of
the
Riuer
.
The
worst
of
all
the
rest
is
that
of
the
Poole
and
Marish
Grounds
:
and
yet
that
which
runneth
not
is
worse
than
all
the
rest
,
and
more
apt
to
in●ect
.
The
Water
of
Snow
and
Ice
is
the
most
vnwholesome
of
all
,
because
it
is
the
coldest
and
most
earthie
,
as
not
hauing
beene
prepared
by
the
heat
and
vertue
of
the
Sunne
.
And
as
conce●ning
the
Water
of
Wells
and
Fountaines
(
seeing
it
is
not
found
good
alwaies
and
in
all
places
)
we
shall
know
them
to
be
good
,
if
it
haue
neither
tast
,
s●●ell
,
nor
any
colour
whatsoeuer
,
being
notwithstanding
verie
cleere
,
and
of
the
nature
of
the
Ayre
,
taking
quickly
the
colour
of
anie
thing
that
one
shall
cast
into
it
,
being
also
cleane
,
warme
in
Winter
,
and
cold
in
Summer
,
easie
to
make
hot
,
and
as
soone
becomming
cold
againe
;
in
which
,
Peason
,
Beanes
,
and
other
such
like
things
,
doe
boyle
easily
,
and
which
being
put
for
some
space
in
a
Brasen
,
Copper
,
or
Siluer
Vessell
,
well
scoured
,
leaueth
no
discoloured
parts
or
spots
in
the
same
,
and
which
,
when
it
hath
beene
boyled
in
a
Ca●ldron
,
made
verie
faire
and
cleane
,
doth
not
make
any
●etling
or
shew
of
filth
in
the
bottome
:
if
such
as
vse
to
drinke
it
,
haue
a
cleere
voice
,
a
sound
breast
,
and
the
die
or
colour
of
the
face
be
neat
and
liuely
:
finally
,
that
which
together
with
the
rest
of
the
markes
,
is
verie
light
,
and
by
consequent
as
principall
of
all
the
rest
shall
that
be
iudged
,
which
excelleth
in
the
foresaid
markes
and
qualities
:
and
for
to
know
which
is
the
lightest
,
weigh
as
much
with
as
much
of
euerie
sort
of
Water
,
or
else
take
two
,
three
,
or
●oure
Clothes
of
one
and
the
same
webbe
,
length
,
and
breadth
,
according
to
the
quantitie
and
sorts
of
Water
which
you
would
compare
together
,
and
in
euerie
one
wet
a
Cloth
,
distill
the
Clothes
,
or
let
the
Water
drop
out
of
them
,
and
then
weigh
them
,
for
the
Cloth
which
was
moistened
in
the
●ightest
Water
,
will
then
weigh
les●e
than
the
rest
.
It
is
true
,
that
the
lightnesse
of
Water
is
not
so
truely
tryed
by
weight
as
by
drinking
,
not
causing
at
such
time
anie
burthenous
weight
in
the
places
about
the
short
Ribbes
,
and
passeth
through
the
bodie
speedily
,
as
also
in
being
quickly
hot
and
quickly
cold
.
Drie
Places
,
Places
giuen
t●
bring
forth
〈◊〉
.
and
Countries
abounding
with
Mountaines
,
doe
commonly
bring
forth
Stones
,
which
is
easily
perceiued
by
the
rough
and
boisterous
handling
of
the
Earth
,
and
also
by
the
Stones
lying
vpon
the
vpper
part
thereof
,
which
otherwise
might
haue
fallen
and
beene
cast
there
:
in
manner
as
sometimes
it
falleth
out
,
that
men
find
vpon
vntilled
grounds
the
liuely
shapes
of
Fruits
and
Corne
gathered
together
and
growne
vnto
the
Stone
,
which
is
to
bee
seene
neere
to
Mommirall
in
Brie
,
where
Wood
is
growne
vnto
the
Stone
:
besides
that
,
the
Hearth
will
make
quicke
and
speedie
triall
hereof
.
This
will
doe
you
seruice
in
the
enclosing
either
of
your
Parke
,
or
of
your
Vineyards
,
and
other
such
like
commodities
,
besides
the
profit
you
may
make
of
it
by
the
selling
of
Milstones
and
Stones
to
build
withall
.
Deceitfull
stone-pits
.
But
looke
well
to
your selfe
,
and
take
good
heed
of
Quarries
,
and
casting
of
Stone-pits
,
and
of
their
deceits
,
which
oftentimes
rewards
vs
with
our
paines
for
our
labour
.
And
as
for
the

practised
in

if

you
shall
burne

two

,
and
if
the
quantitie
be

,
it
will
be
best
to
cast
them
together
in
manner
of
some
small
hillock
in
certaine
places
of
the
ground
,
and
so
by
that
meanes
the

will
be
cleansed
and
freed
:
or
●●ther
,
when
the
daies
of
handie-workes
shall
be
got
good
cheape
,
it
will
be
best
to
digge
the
earth
verie
deepe
,
and
there
burying
the
stones
before-hand
,
afterward
to
●uer
them
with
the
earth
.
If
the
Farme
consist
most
of
Forrests
and
Woods
,
Vntilled
grounds
.
you
shall
make
thereof
arable
ground
,
by
plucking
vp
the
Trees
altogether
,
as
also
their
rootes
:
but
and
if
there
be
but
small
store
,
it
will
be
ynough
to
cut
them
downe
and
burne
them
,
and
then
to
till
the
ground
.
And
such
grounds
are
wont
the
first
yeare
to
bring
forth
much
,
because
that
the
moisture
and
substance
,
which
before
was
spent
in
the
bringing
forth
and
nourishing
of
Trees
,
Bushes
,
and
Hea●bes
,
doth
prepare
it selfe
wholly
for
the
good
of
the
Corne
that
is
sowne
vpon
it
;
or
for
that
it
hauing
beene
fatted
and
growne
better
by
the
leaues
and
hearbes
of
manie
yeares
,
which
of
it
owne
accord
it
brought
forth
before
it
was
tilled
,
becommeth
afterward
sufficient
to
nourish
and
bring
forth
great
abundance
of
fruits
:
and
so
it
commeth
to
passe
also
,
that
being
robbed
of
her
former
nourishment
,
in
time
it
groweth
leane
,
loosing
the
freshnesse
and
moisture
which
was
maintained
by
the
couert
,
and
therefore
continueth
not
so
fruitfull
as
it
was
at
the
beginning
.
Sandie

yet
notwithstanding

euen
without

Husbanding
,
by

of
some
currant
of

running
v●der
the
Earth
in
some
Countries
,
ceaseth
not
to
yeeld
good
profit
to
their
owners
:
but
these
craue
rest
,
which
is
the
principall
remedie
to
helpe
their
weake
and
feeble
estate
,
and
also
to
be
sowne
with
varietie
of
graine
,
as
after
Rye
,
some
kind
of
pulse
.
The
way
to
know
such
grounds
is
common
:
when
the
great
Sand
is
fast
and
yellowish
,
it
is
then
found
to
be
good
for
Corne
;
and
when
it
is
white
and
drie
,
it
is
good
for
Wood
and
wild
fruits
.
But
it
behoueth
the
Farmer
to
apply
himselfe
vnto
the
nature
and
temper
of
his
field
,
What
is
〈◊〉
to
know
the
nature

and
according
vnto
it
to
sow
and
plant
in
euery
place
such
things
as
are
best
agreeing
with
them
,
as
Pulse
,
Millet
,
Panicke
,
Ryce
,
Lentils
,
Fetches
,
and
other
things
,
which
doe
not
require
great
store
of
fatnesse
.
But
in
our
English
Soyles
we
find
,
that
our
sandie
and
hard
grounds
doe
beare
best
Barley
at
their
first
breaking
,
or
when
they
are
fattest
;
after

in

yea

if
the

be
much
giuen
to

,
they
will
beare
but
a
little

,

great

of
chaffe
.
Yet
if

a
carefull
hand
in
the
bestowing
of
his
seed
,
and
doe
not
(
as
it
were
)
cloy

choake
his

these

will
beare

desire

CHAP.
V.
The
building
and
inclosing
of
our
Countrie
Farme
.
PEace
being
purchased
,
then
build
thine
House
,
saith
the
wise
and
prudent
Householder
:
and
the
Author
of
the
Latine
Georgickes
doth
highly
prize
and
value
those
great
Farmes
and
Houses
,
whose
appurtenances
and
expences
are
great
:
but
he
counsaileth
men
to
vndertake
and
deale
with
so
little
as
he
knoweth
well
to
doe
.
Great
Cages
make
not
thei●
Birds
good
.
For
as
great
Cages
make
the
Birds
neuer
a
whit
the
better
,
euen
so
it
is
not
so
safe
and
sure
a
course
to
haue
a
costly
and
large
Building
vpon
the
ground
,
neither
yet
to
haue
so
faire
and
large
Fields
,
neither
yet
so
great
quantitie
of
Grounds
,
as
that
they
must
be
either
all
ill
husbanded
,
or
else
if
for
the
carefull
tilling
of
one
part
of
them
,
all
the
rest
be
left
and
let
goe
vntilled
,
as
neither
to
couet
greedily
,
or
aspire
to
possesse
other
great
and
stately
Farmes
,
when
he
is
not
able
to
husband
and
till
that
which
he
hath
alreadie
in
possession
,
if
so
be
perhaps
that
a
man
long
not
to
bring
himselfe
wilfully
into
the
danger
of
the
Lords
of
such
Farmes
,
rather
than
to
aduance
or
further
their
owne
profit
:
like
to
those
bad
Carters
,
Vnfaithfull
Farmers
.
which
will
not
see
or
suffer
either
Horse
or
Man
to
stand
still
,
vntill
by
continuall
toyle
and
vncessant
labouring
of
them
about
the
grounds
of
his
Farme
,
he
bring
to
passe
,
that
both
Lands
,
Horse
,
and
Men
be
not
able
to
hold
out
,
but
become
little
worth
:
which
is
the
cause
,
that
a
Lord
letting
his
Place
and
Demeanes
to
Farme
,
must
make
account
,
that
the
earnest
desire
and
watchfull
regard
he
hath
to
vphold
and
maintaine
his
grounds
in
good
plight
,
will
not
be
accomplished
or
manifested
by
deed
of
Indenture
,
or
posting
ouer
of
the
charge
to
another
,
but
rather
it
standeth
him
vpon
in
his
owne
person
to
see
such
as
are
to
labour
therein
,
to
be
set
to
their
worke
,
ouer-looking
euer
&
anon
the
companie
,
and
ordering
vsed
by
the
baylife
of
his
Husbandrie
in
the
handling
of
his
businesse
,
The
eye
of
the
Master
fatteth
the
Horse
.
that
so
he
may
preuent
the
mischiefes
aboue
named
.
It
is
also
said
of
some
men
,
That
the
eye
of
the
Master
doth
fat
the
Horse
;
and
that
matters
are
neuer
so
well
cared
for
,
or
looked
to
,
as
by
himselfe
.
For
there
are
but
few
,
〈…〉
either
Hindes
,
day-Labourers
,
or
L●bourers
by
great
,
which
doe
not
loue
their
Masters
profit
a
great
deale
les●e
than
their
owne
,
and
euery
day
are
behind
hand
in
one
dutie
,
or
piece
of
worke
or
other
,
which
ought
to
haue
beene
done
.
Better
therefore
is
a
small
House
of
good
stuffe
,
not
sumptuous
,
well
seated
and
well
fitted
(
but
let
it
haue
of
euerie
thing
a
little
)
than
so
costly
a
place
,
and
of
such
large
roomes
,
as
that
either
they
become
enuied
of
their
Superiours
for
it
,
or
else
at
length
causeth
the
Master
to
sell
it
againe
.
For
the
good
Roman
Husbandman
saith
,
That
a
Householder
must
so
diminish
the
charges
of
euerie
thing
by
his
labour
,
〈…〉
as
that
he
may
euermore
haue
moe
things
,
and
more
to
sell
than
to
buy
,
and
that
he
euerie
day
become
more
strong
and
powerfull
than
his
Field
:
For
seeing
that
the
Lord
and
it
must
needs
combate
,
wrastle
,
and
encounter
the
one
with
the
other
,
if
the
Field
be
too
strong
,
then
the
Lord
is
wronged
.
Euerie
place
in
the
Fields
is
also
oftentimes
to
b●
looked
vnto
,
and
if
need
be
,
speedily
repayred
,
because
the
decay
of
anie
part
of
it
,
〈…〉
or
of
anie
thing
which
is
to
be
vsed
in
it
,
being
let
alone
and
neglected
onely
one
yeare
,
draweth
on
another
los●e
as
great
as
it selfe
,
and
costeth
thrice
as
much
to
make
it
vp
againe
,
as
and
if
it
had
beene
looked
vnto
within
a
moneth
or
fi●teene
d●yes
after
the
decay
did
fall
and
happen
.
And
their
words
in
this
case
are
of
no
val●e
,
〈…〉
wh●ch
●ay
,
That
Ground●
troden
vpon
and
trampled
with
manie
fect
,
are
halfe
〈◊〉
and
spent
:
or
,
that
Ground
lying
farre
off
doth
breed
nothing
but
fl●gons
and
bottels
.
For
I
wou●d
hau●
the
Master
to
be
more
commonly
there
,
than
at
home
at
his
House
,
and
that
he
should
so
dispose
of
his
estate
,
as
that
there
may
be
both
for
all
neces●●●i●s
of
food
▪
and
so
●o●th
,
and
somewhat
to
spare
:
otherwise
his
House
and
〈◊〉
should
minister
more
vnto
his
seruants
than
to
himselfe
,
and
his
charges
should
exceed
the
encrease
and
reuenues
:
and
that
as
well
in
tarrying
at
home
,
as
also
when
he
goeth
abroad
,
he
make
it
his
chiefe
delight
to
vnderstand
and
see
the
gouerning
of
whatsoeuer
belongeth
vnto
him
,
not
troubling
his
mind
with
Hunting
,
Banquetting
,
much
Companie
keeping
,
Drunkennesse
,
and
welcomming
in
of
euerie
commer
,
and
so
to
giue
himselfe
excessiuely
to
his
delights
and
recreation
of
his
spirit
.
The
placing
of
such
Building
as
is
made
,
〈…〉
is
most
fit
to
be
on
the
edges
of
some
great
Hill
,
vpon
some
small
〈◊〉
,
or
the
top
of
the
Hill
,
if
the
Countrie
be
tempestuous
and
full
of
Mountaines
:
for
by
〈◊〉
meanes
he
shall
reape
the
libertie
of
the
Aire
,
and
a
goodly
Prospect
:
he
shall
be
safe
from
the
annoyances
of
foggie
Mists
:
he
sha●l
not
be
opprest
with
cold
in
Winter
by
reason
of
Ice
,
nor
ouer
hot
in
Summer
,
and
the
Wat●r●
and
Floud●
which
runne
downe
from
the
top
of
the
Hills
shall
not
threaten
,
much
l●sse
doe
harme
vnto
the
foundation
of
his
dwelling
place
:
as
also
he
shall
not
be
too
much
subiect
to
the
Winds
and
Raines
of
the
whole
yeare
:
hee
shall
proc●re
h●s
principa●l
Lights
to
stand
vpon
the
Sunne-rising
in
the
moneths
of
March
and
September
:
for
the
Winds
blowing
〈◊〉
those
quarters
are
drie
,
more
hot
than
cold
,
but
verie
whole●ome
,
as
well
for
the
bodie
as
for
the
spirit
of
Man
:
and
the
Sunne
,
which
commeth
to
enter
betimes
in
the
morning
into
the
House
,
doth
diminish
and
wast
the
darknesse
and
gros●enes●e
of
the
Aire
:
adde
further
,
that
looke
by
how
●uch
his
Hou●e
shall
be
set
more
vpon
the
said
Easterne
point
,
by
so
much
the
more
easily
it
will
be
able
to
receiue
that
Wind
in
Summer
,
and
be
les●e
beaten
in
Winter
with
Frosts
.
The
Barnes
shall
be
open
towards
the
Sunne-set
,
in
respect
of
their
greatest
lights
,
and
with●ll
,
shall
haue
one
light
seruing
toward
the
North
,
for
the
cause
aboue
named
:
but
all
Houses
for
Beasts
shall
haue
their
Windowes
towards
the
South
,
and
borrowing
somewhat
of
the
East
,
for
that
the
Winds
blowing
from
thence
will
keepe

at
all

It
is
true
,
that
as
for
St●b●es
for
Horses
,
it
is
neces●arie
to
make
them
a
light
seruing
towards
the
North
,
to
open
●n
the
hot
time
of
Summer
,
during
the
vehement
heat
thereof
,
and
that
at
the
houre
of
their
ease
and
rest
,
which
is
Noone-tide
:
for
at
this
time
and
houre
,
if
you
giue
them
not
some
breath
of
aire
to
coole
them
withall
,
the
heat
of
the
Noone
Sunne
,
which
would
strike
in
,
and
their
owne
,
which
is
alwaies
in
the
Stable
,
as
also
their
breathing
and
presse
of
the
whole
companie
of
Horses
,
being
there
together
,
would
set
them
in
such
a
sweat
,
faintnesse
of
bodie
,
and
loathing
of
their
mea●
,
as
that
the
verie
Stable
would
wearie
,
weare
,
and
spend
them
as
much
as
the
Plough
it selfe
.
And
as
for
the
rest
of
the
Buildings
,
or
the
base
Courts
,
it
maketh
no
great
matter
vpon
what
Coasts
or
Quarters
you
dispose
them
:
The
base
Courts
howbeit
,
if
you
so
contriue
them
,
as
that
they
may
marke
vpon
the
North
,
they
cannot
but
be
to
good
purpose
.
These
instructions
for
Lights
and
Windowes
are
not
so
strictly
enioyned
,
as
that
the
differing
qualities
and
conditions
of
Countries
,
where
such
building
must
be
made
,
may
not
moue
you
to
dispose
them
otherwise
:
for
seeing
there
are
found
in
some
Countries
such
Winds
as
are
almost
ordinarie
,
and
may
be
said
to
haue
gotten
(
as
it
were
)
●
habit
,
and
those
blowing
from
such
Quarters
as
lye
vpon
the
Sea
or
Marishes
,
or
such
other
,
and
therefore
bring
with
them
some
noysome
qualitie
,
or
at
least
little
profitable
;
it
must
needs
be
permitted
in
such
places
to
alter
and
change
the
former
directions
.
And
to
speake
the
truth
,
seeing
that
by
the
meanes
of
Windowes
and
counter-Windowes
you
may
cut
off
the
entrance
both
of
Sunne
and
whatsoeuer
Winds
,
it
shall
be
left
in
your
free
choice
to
make
such
Lights
as
may
seeme
most
necessarie
in
your
owne
iudgements
,
being
euermore
directed
against
such
annoyance
as
the
Ayre
might
bring
from
that
place
whatsoeuer
from
whence
it
commeth
.
And
although
that
euerie
one
build
after
his
owne
humor
,
〈…〉
yet
the
cause
should
so
stand
,
as
that
reason
should
rule
euermore
:
and
surely
,
such
a
man
should
be
estee●ed
but
of
a
slender
iudgement
,
which
hauing
a
place
and
commodities
belonging
●hereto
,
did
not
fit
things
in
such
sort
,
as
that
on
the
one
side
of
his
chamber
he
haue
●
light
open
vpon
the
Court
and
forepart
of
his
Farme
by
which
they
must
enter
that
●ome
to
it
,
Of
the
Lig●ts
to
be
made
in
Building
.
and
another
open
vpon
his
Gardens
and
principall
Grounds
.
Wherefore
that
he
may
know
the
more
easily
to
prepare
his
Buildings
(
as
it
were
)
anew
,
or
else
repaire
it
after
his
owne
fansie
,
it
will
be
meet
and
conuenient
for
him
to
doe
in
manner
as
followeth
.
Draw
a
great
Court
and
wide
,
and
that
verie
square
euerie
way
,
〈…〉
.
in
the
middest
thereof
cause
to
be
cast
two
Fish-ponds
at

;
one
for
Geese
,
Ducks
,
and
other
Cattell
:
the
other
,
to
water
,
steepe
,
or
soften
Lupines
,
Osiers
,
Roddes
,
and
such
other
things
,
as
also
for
the
rotting
of
your
dung
:
and
somewhat
more
to
the
further
side
,
a
Well
with
two
or
three
troughs
of
hewen
stone
,
to
water
your
Cattell
and
Poultrie
●t
,
if
you
haue
not
the
benefit
of
a
running
Water
,
or
some
neere
Riuer
,
either
great

Make
also
two
Dunghils
;
the

,
to

The

againe
when
it

Notwithstanding
all
which
,
〈…〉
yet
my

is
,
that

should
be
according
to
the
reuenues
of

,
or
value

and
that
(
as
saith
Cato

the

not
set

seeking
of

,
nor
Grounds
caused
to
goe
seeke
Houses
and
Roomes
:
for
great
Plots
of
Building
,
and
Inclosures
of
Pleasure
,
cost
much
to
build
and
maintaine
:
and
Buildings
which
are
lesse
than
were
requisite
for
the
profits
of
the

,
are
a
great
cause
of
much
losse

CHAP.

The
dutie
of
a
Father
of
a
Familie
,
or
Householder
.
AFter
I
haue
thus
disposed
of
Roomes
and
Building
,
〈…〉
I
wish
and
desire
,
that
the
Lord
of
the
Farme
may
be
a
man
of
great
knowledge
,
well
acquainted
and
giuen
to
matters
of
Husbandrie
:
for
who
so
is
ignorant
of
them
,
hauing
had
but
small
practise
in
them
,
as
also
he
which
doth
take
his
chiefest
delight
in
other
things
,
and
spendeth
his
time
otherwise
,
must
of
necessitie
commit
himselfe
to
the
mercie
and
discretion
of
a
Farmer
,
which
will
mocke
him
to
his
face
,
and
will
impaire
his
grounds
and
house
also
,
heaping
thereto
a
world
of
quarrels
and
suits
,
which
he
will
raise
:
or
else
he
must
trust
to
some
other
accomplisher
of
the
businesse
,
either
in
gouerning
or
waiting
&
attending
:
and
he
asking
counsell
of
other
the
●armers
thereabout
,
they
wil
make
him
beleeue
things
to
be
not
so
good
by
the
halfe
●s
they
are
.
And
indeed
we
read
for
a
certainetie
in
the
Roman
Histories
,
That
the
Earth
was
neuer
so
fruitful
as
then
when
it
was
allured
&
woon
by
the
industrie
of
the
famous
Roman
citizens
,
&
deliuered
out
of
the
tyrannous
handling
of
gros●e-headed
peasants
,
whom
we
see
before
our
eyes
,
notwithstanding
that
they
are
altogether
ignorant
,
to
grow
rich
at
our
costs
&
charges
,
&
to
the
great
spoile
of
the
ground
which
they
husband
&
till
.
There
is
nothing
comparable
to
the
ouer-looking
eye
of
a
prudent
&
discreet
Lord
,
and
one
that
is
accustomed
to
Husbandry
,
and
which
looketh
after
&
contenteth
himselfe
with
such
estate
as
may
stand
with
his
profit
,
and
keepeth
to
himselfe
the
principall
charge
,
which
is
a
watchfulnes
&
earnest
desire
to
preserue
his
goods
,
and
hath
alwaies
care
of
his
companie
,
and
farmeth
not
nor
yet
renteth
ou●
any
thing
but
that
which
he
will
haue
nothing
at
all
to
do
withall
,
except
a
little
ouersight
:
Neither
yet
would
I
haue
him
,
What
things
are
most
fit
to
be
farmed
out
.
in
so
doing
,
that
he
should
passe
any
bargaine
by
the
way
of
Notaries
,
or
by
Writing
:
for
by
this
meanes
he
robbeth
himselfe
of
his
libertie
.
Let
him
learne
well
to
know
&
vnderstand
the
natures
and
choice
of
Men
,
Cattell
,
&
Grounds
,
and
let
not
that
work
possibly
fall
out
,
which
he
himselfe
knoweth
not
to
doe
,
if
he
should
stand
in
need
,
or
else
to
giue
directions
in
and
to
command
vnto
others
;
at
the
least
let
him
vnderstand
the
times
&
seasons
when
,
as
also
the
manners
how
,
things
were
accustomed
to
be
done
:
for
as
a
man
which
seeth
not
any
place
whereby
he
may
giue
light
to
another
,
can
neuer
lighten
him
so
well
;
euen
so
that
Lord
of
a
Farme
,
which
vnderstandeth
nor
,
neither
knoweth
the
seasons
and
proper
times
for
to
do
any
thing
belonging
to
his
gouernment
&
iurisdiction
,
neither
yet
the
ordering
of
things
,
to
execute
euery
thing
accordingly
,
shall
neuer
know
so
well
what
to
command
,
and
doth
nothing
to
the
workman
but
t●ouble
and
grieue
him
:
and
it
is
the
manner
of
men
to
mocke
at
such
as
command
&
will
things
to
be
done
which
are
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
but
must
afterward
be
vndone
again
,
or
els
abide
without
any
profit
.
This
is
it
which
the
great
Husbandman
Cat●
hath
written
,
That
the
ground
is
very
ill
entreated
&
grieuously
punished
,
whose
Lord
&
owner
knoweth
not
to
teach
&
command
that
which
is
to
be
done
:
but
must
depend
&
relie
wholly
vpon
his
Farmer
.
Therefore
it
is
most
necessarie
,
that
the
father
of
the
Familie
,
or
owner
of
the
Farme
,
be
most
expert
in
euerie
worke
due
for
euerie
Season
of
the
yeare
,
as
thus
:
first
,
for
such
Earths
as
are
applyed
onely
to
Tillage
,
he
shall
know
,
that
if
the
Soyle
wherein
he
liueth
be
a
stiffe
,
strong
,
heauie
,
and
tough
Clay
,
he
shall
then
,
from
Plow-day
,
which
is
euer
the
Munday
after
Twelfth-day
,
till
S.
Valentines
day
,
breake
vp
〈◊〉
Pease-Earth
,
where
he
intendeth
to
sow
Pease
and
Beanes
,
which
must
lye
for
●ait
,
which
is
,
till
it
haue
receiued
Frost
and
Raine
,
that
thereby
the
Mould
may
breake
▪
but
if
his
Earth
be
a
mixt
Earth
,
and
of
a
more
light
nature
,
then
from
Plow-day
to
S.
Valentines
,
he
shall
breake
vp
or
●allow
that
Earth
which
he
intends
to
keepe
〈◊〉
the
yeare
following
:
From
S.
Valentines
day
till
S.
Chaddes
he
shall
sow
his
Beanes
,
Pease
,
Fetches
,
or
other
Pulse
whatsoeuer
:
prouided
alwaies
,
that
he
sow
his
Beanes
first
,
he
Pease
next
,
and
his
smaller
Pulse
last
of
all
:
He
shall
from
S.
Chaddes
day
till
a
fortnight
before
our
Ladie
day
,
commonly
called
the
Annuntiation
,
sow
his
Oats
,
either
vpon
the
I●●ams
,
which
is
land
●owne
the
yeare
before
,
or
on
the
tilth
or
fallow
ground
prepared
for
the
purpose
:
from
a
fortnight
before
the
Annuntiation
,
till
a
fortnight
after
,
he
shall
sow
his
Barley
,
either
on
Clay
ground
,
hassell
,
or
mixt
Earth
:
and
vpon
light
sands
,
from
mid
Aprill
till
Whitsontide
:
from
May
day
till
Midsummer
he
s●all
fallow
his
stiffe
Clayes
,
or
Summer-stirre
his
lighter
mixt
Earths
:
from
Midsummer
till
Lammas
he
shall
Summer-stirre
his
stiffe
Clayes
,
and
foyle
his
lighter
Earths
:
from
Lammas
till
a
●ortnight
after
Michaelmas
he
shall
Winter-rigge
all
such
land
as
he
intends
to
sow
Barley
on
the
yeare
following
:
He
shall
also
in
that
season
sow
his
Wheat
,
Rye
,
or
Mas●yne
:
he
shall
then
also
furrow
or
cut
sluces
whereby
to
drayne
the
water
from
his
arable
land
,
because
the
drier
that
it
lyes
,
the
better
it
is
,
and
euermore
the
more
fruitfull
,
as
the
experience
of
Husbandmen
find
by
a
continuall
practise
.
And
as
hee
thus
knoweth
how
to
dispose
and
order
his
arable
ground
,
so
hee
shall
also
know
how
to
husband
his
Pasture
or
Medow
ground
:
as
namely
,
in
the
months
of
Ianuarie
and
Februarie
he
shall
first
plash
and
cut
his
Hedges
and
Quick-sets
,
that
thereby
they
may
grow
thicke
and
strong
at
the
bottomes
:
he●
shall
then
cast
his
Mole-hils
leuell
,
and
kill
Moles
,
and
prune
such
Fruit-trees
as
either
haue
decayed
or
dead
branches
in
them
:
or
else
such
superfluous
succours
,
as
growing
from
below
,
robbeth
the
trees
of
much
sap
and
nourishment
.
In
March
,
if
your
ground
be
not
verie
fruitfull
,
but
of
an
indifferent
temperature
,
you
shall
lay
all
those
grounds
of
which
you
intend
to
haue
Hay
:
but
if
they
be
fertile
,
and
beare
much
burthen
,
then
if
you
lay
them
at
May
day
,
it
will
be
fully
early
ynough
.
At
Midsummer
you
may
mow
your
fruitfull
low
grounds
,
and
at
the
translation
of
S.
Thomas
you
may
mow
those
which
lye
higher
and
are
lesse
fertile
:
obseruing
this
,
that
i●
the
season
of
the
yeare
be
moist
,
then
you
may
let
your
high
grounds
grow
the
longer
,
and
cut
your
low
grounds
sooner
;
but
if
the
season
be
burning
and
drie
,
then
you
must
cut
your
high
grounds
the
sooner
,
and
let
your
low
grounds
stand
the
longer
▪
because
the
first
will
burne
at
the
root
,
and
the
other
retaine
his
moisture
.
All
these
months
of
Iune
,
Iuly
,
and
May
also
,
when
either
the
weather
or
other
hinderances
detaine
you
from
these
greater
works
,
you
shall
then
lead
forth
your
dung
,
compasse
,
or
meanure
to
your
tilth
or
●allow
field
:
and
it
is
also
a
good
season
for
the
bringing
home
of
your
Fuell
,
especially
when
your
prouisions
lye
farre
off
.
At
Lammas
pull
your
Summer
fruit
,
and
reape
your
Corne
,
and
your
other
Graine
,
either
before
or
after
,
as
you
find
them
ripen
.
After
S.
Ma●hewes
day
if
you
haue
any
meanure
vnlaid
,
lead
it
forth
,
for
one
Load
then
bestowed
on
the
Earth
,
is
more
precious
than
two
in
the
former
Seasons
.
About
a
weeke
before
S.
Lukes
day
begin
to
skowre
your
Ponds
and
Ditches
,
plant
and
replant
Fruit
Trees
:
and
if
any
of
your
Hedges
were
left
vnplasht
in
the
Spring
,
plash
them
now
,
for
it
is
an
excellent
Season
.
At
Allhallontide
cut
downe
your
Timber
,
chiefely
your
Ash
,
Elme
,
or
Ewe
,
or
what
else
you
prepare
●or
Cart
,
Plow
,
or
Harrow
Timber
.
Before
Christmas
brush
your
Hedges
▪
and
weed
them
from
all
dead
and
superfluous
branches
:
also
then
,
and
to
the
end
of
Ianuarie
,
is
good
stubbing
of
Wood
grounds
,
and
remouing
of
Bees
:
also
then
you
shall
bare
the
roots
of
your
Fruit
Trees
,
and
couer
them
againe
with
rich
Mould
the
March
following
.
Thus
our
Husbandman
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
Oliuer
d●
Serres
,
hauing
enriched
his
memorie
with
these
knowledges
,
shall
liue
a
Free
man
,
and
no
Bondslaue
,
a
Master
,
and
no
Prentice
,
to
his
Farmer
or
Baylie
.
I
meane
all
this
while
,
The
chiefe
key
of
all
the
rest
.
that
the
abode
of
the
owner
of
the
Farme
is
vpon
his
Inhe●itance
,
and
that
he
haue
the
Royaltie
and
Chiefetie
of
the
whole
,
and
that
he
doth
●ithdraw
himselfe
from
home
,
and
secretly
retur●e
thither
again
when
it
shall
seeme
●ood
vnto
him
,
to
keepe
his
people
continually
in
doing
o●
their
office
and
charge
:
●his
is
the
cause
why
,
among
the
rest
of
his
Buildings
,
wee
haue
counselled
him
to
●rouide
a
backe
gate
in
the
end
of
his
Inclosure
,
〈…〉
Let
him
not
goe
to
see
the
Towne
,
●●cept
it
be
vpon
his
earnest
affaires
,
and
let
him
commit
his
Suites
to
be
followed●
which
without
great
losse
he
cannot
let
passe
and
neglect
)
by
some
faithfull
Attur●ey
,
To
order
his
Suites
.
to
whom
he
shall
giue
nothing
but
the
onely
counterpane
of
his
Euidence
:
and
●eing
in
the

,
What
time
the
Householder
should
keepe
at
his
Farme
,
and
when
he
may
best
go●
abroad
to
the
Towne
,
or

.
let
him
not
goe
to
see
any
man
therein
,
except
it
be
in
Winter
,
●r
at
such
time
as
when
his
Haruest
is
in

and
his
Seed

&
first
arder
be
dispatcht
,
●o
the
end
that
by
one

the

he
may
attend
vpon
his
causes
in
contro●ersie
,
and
goe
about
the
getting
in
of
his
debts
,
I
wish
further
,
that
he
carry
himselfe
●leasant
and
courteous
vnto
his
folke
,
not
commanding
them
any
thing
in
his
choler
:
●or
boisterous
and
rough
handling
will
preuaile
as
little
with
men
as
with
stiffe-nec●ed
iades
.
Let
him
speake
familiarly
vnto
them
,
let
him
laugh
and
ieast
with
them
●ometimes
,
Men
cannot
abide
to
be
roughly
entreated
.
and
also
either
giue
them
occasion
,
or
else
suffer
them
to
laugh
and
be
●●errie
:
for
their
vncessant
paines
are
somewhat
mitigated
,
when
they
ar●
vouchsa●ed
some
gentle
and
courteous
intreatance
of
their
Maister
towards
them
.
Notwith●tanding
,
I
wish
him
not
to
be
too
familiar
with
them
for
the
auoiding
of
contempt
:
●either
would
I
haue
him
to
acquaint
them
with
his
purposes
,
except
it
be
sometime
〈◊〉
aske
their
counsell
in
a
matter
,
and
let
him
not
spare
sometimes
to
seeme
to
doe
af●●r
their
aduice
,
though
he
had
determined
the
same
course
before
:
for
they
will
●orke
with
more
cheerefulnesse
,
when
they
thinke
that
the
matter
is
carried
accor●ing
to
their
inuention
.
Let
him
maintaine
the
cause
of
his
neighbours
,
and
not
to
●rrogate
vnto
himselfe
,
or
take
any
thing
vpon
him
,
as
commanding
them
.
Let
him
●lso
relieue
them
in
their
necessities
▪
and
yet
let
him
not
lend
them
,
except
it
be
some
small
thing
▪
and
such
as
he
had
rather
loose
than
aske
twice
,
except
it
be
in
their
extreame
need
and
necessitie
.
Let
him
patiently
and
quietly
beare
their
tedious
and
●roublesome
natures
,
whom
he
knoweth
to
enuie
and
repine
at
him
,
neuer
falling
out
with
them
,
or
giuing
them
euer
any
iust
occasion
of
displeasure
:
but
win●ing
at
that
which
he
knoweth
of
their
nature
and
naturall
inclination
,
let
him
pleasure
them
to
the
vttermost
that
he
can
,
and
seeme
to
be
at
one
with
them
,
as
if
he
h●d
neuer
vnderstood
any
thing
to
moue
him
to
the
contrarie
.
And
thus
he
may
pu●●hase
peace
and
rest
.
And
there
remaineth
nothing
more
for
his
office
,
but
his
seruice
to
God
,
loue
to
his
neighbours
,
good
instructions
to
his
children
,
honest
examples
to
his
seruants
,
and
peacefulnesse
with
all
men
liuing
:
hee
shall
rather
lend
than
borrow
,
rather
buy
than
sell
those
things
hee
hath
vse
for
,
but
euermore
better
furnisht
to
sell
than
buy
necessarie
commodities
.
This
is
Serres
opinion
,
and
worthie
a
generall
imitation

for

hath
Tooles

Instruments
,

himselfe
with

A
Farmer
must
haue
much
knowledge
.
about
his
matters
of
Husbandrie
:
As
also
that
he
know
to
gouerne
and
amend
all
such
Tooles
as
he
hath
the
handling
of
,
or
which
his
folke
vse

otherwise
,
if
there
should
but
need
a
handle
to
a
Spade
,
or
a
nayleto
a
Horse
or
Tumbrell
,
there
must
presently
bee
admitted
into
wages
a
Nayle-Smith
for
the
Cart
,
and
a
Shoo-Smith
for
the
Horse
.
This
his
knowledge
shall
also
serue
him
to
iudge
if
he
be
well
dea●t
withall
by
such
Craftsmen

as
to
whom
he
shall
of
necessitie
be
driuen
sometime
to
commit
,
either
to
be
mended
,
or
else
new-made
,
the
Instruments
requisite
for
his

He
must
ha●e
Tooles
and
Instruments
twice
so
manie
in
store
as
he
vseth
to
haue
Workmen
,
to
the
end
they
need
not

borrow
any

for
otherwise
hee
shall
lose
more
in
dayes
workes
not
fulfilled
than
would
pay

the
buying
of
his

Tooles

Againe
,
let

at

first
time
doe
his
worke
so
well
,
as
that
he
need
not
to
goe
〈◊〉
it
the
second
time
:
For
in
attempting
to
mend
that
which
hath
beene
done
amisse
for
lacke
of
heed
or
negligence
,
beside
the
losse
of
time
,
which
alwaies
is
required
in
labour
,
the
thing
it selfe
is
also
impaired
and
made
worse
:
and
this
is
losse
vnto
the
Lord
for
the
present
,
and
without
hope
of
recompence
for
the
time
to
come
,
not
being
fit
to
yeeld
such
profit
as
it
was
wont
in
yeares
p●st
.
Let
him
haue
his
eyes
alwaies
vpon
his
people
,
and
ouersee
his
Cattell
euerie
night
,
and
not
onely
when
they
are
in
the
house
,
but
also
as
they
returne
from
labour
,
or
from

pasture
:
let
him
view

looke
well
vpon
their
countenance

gate

sta●●

gesture
,
for
to
know
,
if
there
be
any
diseased

not
to
exempt
himselfe
any
one
day
in

of
the
Ox●n
,
Kin●
,
Swine
,
and
Sheepe

goe
to
the
place

th●ir
walke
in
good
state

plight
,
and
returne
sicke
home
at
euening

let

not

〈…〉
haue
appointed
euery
one
of
his

what
he
is
to
doe
the

in

Let

a●d

that
are
good
f●r
them
against
falls

wrenches
,
and

other
inconueniences
.
Aboue
all

let

be
true
,
let
him
keepe
and
hold
〈◊〉
performe
what
he
hath
spoken
,
let
him
no●
sweare
,
but
shew
such
example
to
his

as
that
thereby
he
may
induce
them
to
esteeme
highly
of
him
,
to
●eu●rence

to
honour
him
.
〈…〉
For
as
a
true
and
simple
speech
maketh
a
man
to
be
highly
re●arded
;
euen
so
a
blasphemous
mouth
,
and
such
as
is
full
of
oaths
,
an
vnprofitable
,
●anton
,
and
scornefull
speech
,
accompanied
with
euill
example
of
deeds
,
maketh
a
●●an
contemptible
amongst
all
men
.
Let
him
eat
and
drinke
among
his
seruants
,
and
●f
the
same
,
and
at
the
same
Table
.
Let
him
pay
them
their
owne
iust●y
,
declare
his
●ind
vnto
them
in
mild
sort
,
and
not
to
pay
them
any
thing
before
hand
,
if
it
be
not
●n
case
of
los●e
or
sicknesse
.
If
you
set
any
pieces
of
ground
to
him
to
farme
(
for
still
I
vnderstand
,
that
the
●hiefe
charge
and
ouersight
should
be
yours
)
let
him
not
runne
day
after
day
behind
●and
with
you
,
least
so
you
might
make
him
negligent
,
and
an
ill
pay-master
,
both
●o
your
losse
and
his
owne
,
and
yet
seeming
to
hold
him
excused
,
either
in
respect
of
●he
vnseasonablenesse
of
the
time
,
or
hardnesse
of
the
yeare
,
if
either
of
the
two
can
〈◊〉
any
likely
sort
be
alledged
:
In
which
cases
also
you
shall
somewhat
beare
with
●im
,
and
let
him
pay
at
many
and
little
payments
what
he
ought
to
haue
payed
toge●●er
,
thereby
to
ease
him
so
much
as
may
be
;
and
to
the
end
he
may
bring
his
Farmer
●●ut
of
his
debt
,
he
shall
not
let
to
take
it
by

and

euen
by

.
N●cessarie
things
to
be
prouided

Doe
not
pinch
him
of
such
necessaries
as
hee

it
be
for
the
maintenance
of
your
House

or
the
repairing
of
anie

that
doe

you

Watch
him
not
●o
neere
,
as
that
he
may
haue
cause
〈◊〉
complaine
,
for
he
may
wring
you
in
some
one
thing
that
you
would
●euer
thinke

.
It
is
not
good
●o
exact
too
much
at
a
seruants
hands
.
And
marke
,
that
to
be
much
exacting
and
ingrating
vpon
your
Fa●mer
,
doth
of●●ntimes
make
him
either
a
meere
negligent
,

.
Praise
him
for
what
●ou
see
discreetly
ca●ried
in
the

of
your
Farme

and
rebuke
him
not
sharply
●or
that
which
you
shall
not
find
so
well
done

but
counsell
him
to
amend
such

bad

vnto
him

that
in
so

That
the
Farmer
must
haue
the
knowledge
of
the
Motions
,
as
well
of
the
Moone
as
of
the
Sunne
,
and
of
the
power
and
oper●tions
of
them
both
in
matters
of
Husbandrie
.
NOtwithstanding
,
that
the
consideration
and
obseruation
of
the
Motions
,
Fa●ulties
,
and
Effects
of
the
Starres
,
and
chiefely
of
the
two
great
and
admirable
Fires
of
the
whole
World
(
called
of
God
,
by
the
mouth
o●
Moyses
,
Th●
Sunne

great
Lights

Lights
)
that
is
to
say
,
the
Sunne
and
the
Moone
,
doth
app●rta●●●
r●ther
vnto
some
excellent
Astrologian
,
than
to
a
simple
Husbandman
:
notwithstanding
,
for
as
much
as
th●
greatest
part
of
matters
of
Husbandrie
,
as
Beasts
,
Plants
,
Trees
,
and
Hearbes
doe
take
their
generation
,
no●rishment
,
growth
,
and
perfect
consummation
,
by
the
liuely
inspiration
,
action
,
casting
forth
of
Beames
,
and
wonderfull
mouings
of
these
two
Organes
and
principall
Instruments
of
all
the
World
;
it
is
very
expedient
that
the
Farme●
and
Gouernor
of
a
Husbandrie
should
haue
that
knowledge
gotten
by
long
experience
,
which
teacheth
their
vertues
and
powers
in
matters
of
Husbandrie
,
to
the
end
he
may
handle
,
manage
,
and
order
the
same
according
to
the
motions
of
those
two
great
Gouerners
.
Of
the
Moone
.
So
then
to
speake
of
the
Moone
in
the
first
place
(
which
,
by
reason
of
being
neerest
vnto
vs
of
all
the
rest
of
the
Planets
and
coelestiall
Bodies
,
doth
worke
her
effect
in
like
manner
vpon
vs
as
concerning
our
bodies
as
well
as
vpon
the
rest
of
earthly
things
)
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
in
les●e
than
in
one
moneth
it
runneth
all
that
course
and
way
which
the
Sunne
is
in
running
all
the
yeare
long
:
and
that
it
hath
no
light
of
it selfe
,
but
that
it
taketh
and
receiueth
it
all
from
the
Sunne
,
giuing
his
reuerberations
and
reflections
vnto
the
Earth
with
more
vehemencie
when
it
is
further
off
from
the
Sunne
:
as
on
the
contrarie
,
looke
how
much
it
commeth
the
neerer
vnto
her
coniunction
with
it
,
T●e
cause
of
the
grow●h
and
wa●●
of
th●
Moone
.
so
much
the
lesse
light
and
force
doth
it
impart
vnto
the
Earth
.
Hereupon
it
commeth
,
that
we
say
,
that
the
Moone
encreaseth
or
decreaseth
:
not
that
indeed
it
doth
encrease
or
decrease
(
saue
then
when
it
is
in
his
eclipse
)
being
continually
enlightned
by
the
Sunne
;
but
this
his
brightnesse
onely
which
it
casteth
and
spreadeth
vpon
the
whole
face
of
the
Earth
,
doth
only
encrease
and
decrease
.
And
this
shining
brightnes●e
,
according
as
it
is
longer
or
lesser
time
,
hath
likewise
more
or
lesse
force
to
mo●e
the
humors
of
naturall
things
to
worke
their
effects
.
For
by
how
much
the
more
that
this
light
encreaseth
,
by
so
much
the
more
doth
the
moisture
thereof
spread
and
communicate
it selfe
aboundantly
throughout
the
outward
parts
:
as
on
the
contrarie
,
by
how
much
it
waneth
and
groweth
lesse
,
by
so
much
the
naturall
humiditie
and
moisture
doth
withdraw
,
and
betaketh
it selfe
vnto
the
inward
parts
.
This
is
th●
cause
why
men
call
the
Moone
the
Mother
,
Nurse
,
Regent
,
and
Gouernesse
of
all
such
humidities
as
are
in
earthly
bodies
.
Wherefore
,
To
slaughter
Ca●●ell
in
the
new
of
the
Moone
.
to
speake
first
of
Field-beasts
,
the
well-aduised
Farmer
shall
not
kill
at
any
time
whatsoeuer
his
Porkes
,
Muttons
,
Beeues
,
Kine
,
or
other
Beasts
,
of
the
flesh
whereof
he
would
make
his
household
prouision
for
the
sustenance
of
his
Familie
,
in
the
wane
of
the
Moone
.
For
such
flesh
as
is
killed
in
the
decrease
of
the
Moone
falleth
away
and
impaireth
euerie
day
,
and
also
craueth
much
fire
and
time
to
make
it
readie
withall
:
neither
ought
any
man
to
maruaile
or
sta●d
astonished
at
this
,
if
hee
consider
well
,
that
a
Sawsage
,
or
other
such
like
kind
of
meat
,
doth
grow
lesse
by
a
quarter
when
they
are
boyled
.
Neither
shall
he
make
account
of
or
buy
any
Horse-flesh
,
or
other
,
which
was
foled
or
brought
forth
in
the
decrease
and
old
age
of
the
Moone
,
for
that
they
are
more
weake
and
faint
than
the
rest
:
moreouer
,
they
come
to
no
growth
,
neither
is
their
flesh
of
sufficient
weight
when
they
be
killed
.
He

The
condition

.
I
Doe
not
find
the
state
or
place
of
a
Huswife
or
Dairie-woman
to
be
of
lesse
care
and
diligence
than
the
office
of
her
Husband
,
vnderstood
alwayes
,
that
the
woman
is
acquited
of
Field
matters
,
in
as
much
as
shee
is
tyed
to
matters
within
the
House
and
base
Court
(
the
Horses
excepted
)
as
the
husband
is
tyed
to
doe
what
concerneth
him
,
euen
all
the
businesses
of
the
Field
.
Likewise
,
according
to
our
custome
of
France
,
Countrie
women
looke
vnto
the
things
necessarie
and
requisite
about
Kine
,
Calues
,
Hogges
,
Pigges
,
Pigeons
,
Geese
,
Duckes
,
Peacockes
,
Hennes
,
Fesants
,
and
other
sorts
of
Beasts
,
as
well
for
the
feeding
of
them
as
for
the
milking
of
them
:
making
of
Butter
and
Cheese
:
and
the
keeping
of
Lard
to
dresse
the
labouring
men
their
victuals
withall
.
Yea
,
furthermore
they
haue
the
charge
of
the
Ouen
and
Cellar
:
and
we
leaue
the
handling
of
Hempe
vnto
them
likewise
;
as
also
the
care
of
making
Webs
,
of
looking
to
the
clipping
of
Sheepe
,
of
keeping
their
Fleeces
,
of
spinning

Hearbes
,
Rootes
,

:
and
moreouer
,
of
watching

attending
the
Bees
.
It
is
true
,
that
the
buying
and
selling
of
Cattell
belongeth
vnto
the
man
,
as
also
the
disposing
and
laying
out
of
money
,
together
with
the
hyring
and
paying
of
seruants
wages
:
But
the
surplusage
to

employed
and
layed
out
in
pettie
matters
,
as
in
Linnens
,
Clothes
for
the
household
,
and
all
necessaries
of
household
furniture
,
that
of
a
certainetie
belongeth
vnto
the
woman
.
I
meane
also
that
she
must
be
such
a
one
as
is
obedient
vnto
God
and
to
her
husband
,
giuen
to
store
vp
,
to
lay
vp
and
keepe
things
sure
vnder

,
painefull
,
peaceable
,
not
louing
to
stirre
from
home
,
mild
vnto
such

are
vnder
her
when
there
is
need
,
and
sharpe
and
seuere
when
occasion
requireth
:
not
contentious
,
full
of
words
,
toyish
,
tatling
;
nor
drowsie-headed
.
Let
her
dispose
of
her
stuffe
and
implements
vnder
her
hand
in
such
sort
,
as
that
euerie
thing
may
haue
his
certaine
place
,
and
that
in
good
order
,

The

effect
hath

Some

feet
,
palmes
of
the
hands
,
brow
,

some
small
time
before

.
The
verie
same
vertue
hath
the
oyles
of
B●yes
mixed
with
Aqua

.
Some
townesmen
doe
vse
this
superstitious
rite
against
such
manner
of
agues
:
that
is
to
say
,
they
eat
nine
dayes
together
,
being
fasting
,
the
leaues
of
Sage
;
the
first
day
nine
,
the
second
eight
,
and
so
consequently
,
they
diminish
euerie
day
a
leafe
vntill
the
last
of
the
said
nine
dayes
:
and
the
confident
persuasion
that
they
haue
of
this
medicine
doth
cure
them
.
Some
find
it
verie
singular
in
a
Quartane
Ague
,
after
purging
,
to
drinke
white
wine
,
wherein
there
hath
beene
Sage
steeped
all

and
take
the

two

three
times
,
you
shall
lose
your

the

he
must
thinke

,
let

for
if

but
not
generally
.
You
shall
lead
them
thereto
throughout
all
the
time
of
the
moneth
of
May
,
Iune
,
and
Iuly
,
when
the
grasse
doth
most
flourish
:
and
againe
,
about
this
time
they
are
chiefely
set
to
goe
a
bulling
,
seeking
for
the
Bull
of
themselues
,
without
being
led
vnto
him
:
And
you
shall
know
their
inclination
to
the
taking
of
the
Bul●
by
their
hoofes
,
if
they
be
puffed
vp
,
or
swolne
,
as
also
by
their
continuall
lowing
,
and
by
their
leaping
vpon
the
Bulls
backe
.
The
profit
which
riseth
by
their
taking
of
the
Bull
at
this
time
is
,
for
that
they
will
happen
about
tenne
moneths
after
(
which
is
the
iust
time
of
their
going
with
Calfe
)
to
calue
,
and
that
being
at
such
time
as
new
grasse
doth
draw
on
,
it
will
be
an
occasion
of
greatly
encreasing
their
milke
,
and
vpon
this
occasion
also
their
Calues
shall
be
a
great
deale
the
better
fed
.
To
the
end
they
may
hold
bulling
the
better
,
you
must
see
that
at
such
time
they
be
kept
bare
and
leane
,
for
so
they
will
hold
a
great
deal●
better
:
Sienes
of
a
good
●ull
.
On
the
contrarie
,
a
good
Bull
for
breed
must
be
fat
,
well
set
together
,
and
well
meated
,
hauing
for
two
moneths
space
before
beene
fed
with
Barley
and
F●●ches
.
He
must
also
be
chosen
more
long
than

.
But
in
England
and
other
places
they
neuer
vse
to
feed
their
horned
Cattell
with
Corne
,
for
they
find
it
of
small
or
no
profit
,
Grasse
or
Hay
being
euer
sufficient
:
and
though
in
France
the
red
colour
be
euer
most
preferred
,
yet
as
Serres
also
affirmeth
,
the
blacke
is
fully
as
excellent
:
for
the
red
exceedeth
but
〈◊〉
prouing
an
extraordinarie
vertue
in
the
milke
,
but
the
blacke
is
euer
the
hardest
,
best
flesht
,
best
●allowed
,
and
hath
the
strongest
hyde
.
And
if
it
happen
that
the
Cow
refuse
the
Bull
,
or
the
Bull
her
,
they
must
be
brought
to
haue
a
desire
the
one
to
the
other
,
by
holding
neere
their
nosthrils
the
tayle
of

composition
,
A
C●w
with
Calf●
.
whereof
we
will
speake
in
the
Treatise
of
Horses
.
During
the
time
of
their
going
with
Calfe
,
they
must
be
kept
from
leaping
of
Ditches
,
as
〈◊〉
from
leaping
of
Hedges
or
Bushes
:
and
a
little
before
the
time
that
they
doe
calue
,
to
feed
them
in
the
house
,
or
yard
adioyning
to
the
house
,
and
that
with
good
Prou●●der
,
or
Blossomes
,
not
milking
them
at
all
;
for
the
milke
that
they
haue
then
cannot
be
but
naught
,
and
becom●neth
hard
as
a
stone
.
When
they
haue
calued
,
they
may
not
be
milked
to
make
any
Butter
or
Cheese
,
vntill
two
moneths
be
past
:
after
which
tim●
you
shall
send
them
againe
to
their
pasture
,
not
suffering
their
Calues
to
sucke
them
any
longer
,
except
it
be
at
night
when
they
returne
from
Pasture
(
so
long
as
they
feed
vpon
fresh
Prouander
,
which
you
shall
haue
in
readinesse
for
them
)
and
in
the
mor●ing
before
you
send
them
to
Pasture
.
In
what
state
soeuer
they
be
,
you
shall
not
let
them
drinke
aboue
twice
a
day
in
Summer
,
and
once
in
Winter
,
and
that
not
of
Riuer
or
Floud
water
,
but
of
some
water
which
is
wa●me
,
as
Raine
water
,
Fenne
or
Well
water
,
hauing
beene
drawne
a
long
time
before
,
for
Well
water
by
reason
of
the
coldnesse
might
somewhat
hurt
them
.
The
Cow
would
haue
a
cleare
water
,
as
the
Horse
a
troubled
.
It
is
true
that
the
Cow
will
not
refuse
any
water
that
is
without
fault
,
so
that
it
be
cleare
;
for
she
loueth
cleare
water
especially
,
as
the
Horse
,
on
the
contrarie
,
that
which
is
puddly
and
troubled
,
being
a
signe
of
his
goodnesse
,
if
so
he
●umble
the
water
with
his
foot
before
he
drinke
.
And
as
for
●
Calues
newly
calued
,
you
must
leaue
them
with
good
litter
of
fresh
straw
,
vntill
such
●
time
as
she
haue
licked
,
cleansed
,
and
wiped
them
,
and
for
some
fiue
or
six
daies
after
:
●
for
the
being
of
the
Cow
with
the
Calfe
doth
heat
and
settle
the
Calfe
.
After
such
●
time
you
shall
put
it
by
it selfe
in
some
Shed
,
prouiding
it
good
Litter
,
and
renewing
●
the
same
oftentimes
,
and
thence
you
shall
bring
them
forth
when
you
would
haue
them
sucke
,
and
carrie

And
if
you

eyther
that

not
sucke
,
or
that
being
willing
to
sucke
,
they
can
doe
nothing
but
offer
to
take
the
paps
,
without
sucking
any
thing
;
you
shall
looke
vnder
the
tongue
The
Barbs
vnder

if
they
haue
not
the
Barbes
,
which
is
a
whit●sh
fleshinesse
growing
vnder
the
tongue
,
almost
after
the
manner
of
the
Pip
:
which
(
and
if
it
be
so
)
you
shall
take
away
gently
,
without
slaying
the
tongue
,
with
little
nipping
Pincers
,
washing
the
place
afterward
either
with
red
Wine
of
it selfe
,
or
with
the
infusion
of
Salt
and
Garlicke
stamped
together
;
for
this
disease
will
cause
them
to
languish
vnto
death
▪
by
keeping
them
from
sucking
.
Let
the
huswife
also
be
diligent
in
taking
away
the
Lice
that
may
breed
vpon
Calues
,
Lice
and
Scabs
of
Calues

and
make
them
languish
and
thrine
nothing
at
all
,
as
doth
also
the
Scab
when
they
haue
it
:
and
this
is
to
be
knowne
by
their
skins
,
if
they
become
hard
and
stiffe
after
the
manner
of
little
ridges
,
and
that
stroaking
your
hand
along
,
you
feele
the
skin
hackt
and
rough
like
a
File
,
and
the
haire
staring

standing
vpright
.
For
the
healing
of
such

she
shall
rub
them
with
Butter
or
with
Oyle
of
the
setlings
of
the

ouer
the

where
the
scab
is
seized

But
as
it
is
a
great
deale
better
to
preuent
diseases
than
to
cure
them
,
the

shall
cut
off

The
way
to
make
greene
Cheese
,
Butter
,
and
other
sorts
of
Cheese
.
SHe
shall
be
carefull
,
Milke
:
as
well
for
the
feeding
of
her
people
,
as
also
for
the
gayning
of
the
penny
,
diligently
to
set
on
worke
her
daughters
and
maid
seruants
about
the
good
ordering
of
the
Milke
of
her
Kine
,
in
the
making
of
the
Butter
and
Cheese
thereof
.
And
first
as
concerning
Milke
,
shee
must
not
make
any
account
of
that
which
commeth
from
the
Cow
after
shee
hath
new
calued
,
to
preserue
and
keepe
it
;
for
besides
that
it
is
naught
both
to
make
Butter
and
Cheese
,
it
is
also
very
dangerous
for
to
vse
:
Like
as
we
see
,
that
mothers
which
nurse
their
children
,
make
no
account
of
their
fi●st
milke
to
giue
it
〈◊〉
them
;
the
reasons
whereof
you
may
learne
in
our
Booke
of
the
diseases
of
Women
.
After
the
Milke
is
milked
,
The
keeping
of
Milke
.
you
shall
set
it
in
a
place
where
it
may
be
warme
,
to
the
end
it
may
be
kept
the
longer
,
and
become
the
thicker
in
short
time
;
in
as
much
as
Heat
doth
safegard
and
thicken
the
Milke
,
as
Cold
doth
soure
it
and
make
it
to
tur●●
by
and
by
:
and
therefore
to
auoid
this
danger
,
it
is
good
to
boyle
it
,
and
thereupo●
to
stirre
it
much
before
you
let
it
rest
,
if
peraduenture
you
be
not
disposed
to
keepe
it
three
dayes
or
somewhat
more
.
She
shall
know
good
Milke
by
his
whitenesse
,
pleasant
smell
,
Good
Milke
.
sweet
tast
,
and
reasonable
thicknesse
in
substance
,
in
such
sort
,
as
that
being
dropped
vpon
ones
nayle
,
it
●unneth
not
off
presently
,
but
stayeth
there
,
and
abideth
round
a
good
while
.
She
shall
not
let
her
Milke
be
kept
long
,
as
aboue
a
day
in
Summer
,
especially
in
Autumne
and
the
Spring
,
in
which
seasons
,
Milke
,
because
of
the
heat
and
temperature
of
the
time
,
would
be
spoyled
and
presently
turned
:
but
as
soone
as
she
can
,
she
shal
gather
her
Creame
,
greene
Cheese
,
Butter
,
pressed
Cheese
,
Whay
,
and
other
commodities
,
which
a
good
huswife
is
wont
to
rayse
according
to
the
time
:
although
in
Winter
the
Kine
yeelding
small
store
of
Milke
,
as
being
then
with
Calfe
,
she
may
gather
three
or
foure
meales
together
,
which
will
not
so
soone
be
spoiled
by
reason
of
the
coldnesse
of
the
Winter
,
which
maketh
the
Milke
to
thick●●
presently
.
Likewise
at
this
time
shee
shall
gather
but
small
store
of
Butter
,
but
shall
turne
all
her
Milke
into
Cheese
.
It
is
true
,
that
seeing
Cheese
is
not
of
so
great
price
in
Winter
,
neither
yet
so
good
and
daintie
as
in
Summer
,
Spring
time
,
and
Autumne
,
by
reason
of
the
grasse
,
that
therefore
it
shall
be
no
great
danger
to
gather
the
Butter
cleaner
from
the
Cheese
in
Winter
than
at
any
other
time
.
She
shall
gather
her
Creame
from
the
vppermost
part
of
her
milke
presently
after
●hat
the
milke
is
drawne
from
the
Cow
,
and
cooled
a
little
:
and
with
this
Creame
,
Creame
.
to
●ake
Creame-chee●e
,
ordinarily
accustomed
to
be
sold
in
Summer
,
to
be
vsed
at
〈◊〉
of
smaller
account
,
or
in
the
end
of
dinner
and
supper
.
The
Italians
with
●uch
Creame-cheese
,
or
Pa●misan
,
doe
mixe
fine
Sugar
well
powdred
,
together
with
Rose
water
.
The
milke
curded
and
thickned
without
Runnet
,
will
make
little
Cheeses
,
Fresh
or
greene
Cheese
.
which
the
Parisiens
doe
call
Ionches
.
The
Normans
doe
boyle
milke
with
Garlicke
and
Onions
,
and
keepe
it
in
vessels
for
their
vse
,
calling
it
Sowre
milke
or
Serate
.
Sowre
milke
;
or
Serate

The
Whay

may
serue
for
the
feeding
of
the
Hogs
and
Dogs
,
as
also
in
the
time
of
Dearth
for
sustenance
for
the
Familie
,
if
she
boyle
it
but
a
little
.
For
to
make
Butter
,
Butter
.
shee
shall
reserue
the
newest
and
fattest
milke
that
shee
shall
●haue
,
whereof
she
shall
gather
no
creame
:
and
she
shall
make
account
,
of
ten
pounds
of
milke
to
make
two
pounds
and
a
halfe
of
Butter
.
To
make
this
Butter
,
shee
shall
beat
or
cherne
it
a
great
while
in
Vessels
made
for
the
purpose
,
especially
whiles
the
times
of
greatest
heat
endure
,
seeing
such
heat
is
the
cause
that
Butter
commeth
not
,
and
is
not
made
so
soone
as
at
other
times
.
If
she
will
make
account
to
sell
it
,
she
shall
salt
it
,
and
put
it
in
pots
of
earth
,
such
as
wee
see
brought
to
Paris
from
Britaine
,
Normandie
,
and
Fl●nders
.
The
Butter
of
a
yellow
colour
is
the
best
;
and
that
of
a
white
colour
is
the
worst
:
but
that
which
is
gathered
in
May
,
is
better
than
either
of
the
other
.
As
concerning
the
making
of
Cheese
,
The
making
of
Cheese
.
shee
shall
chuse
the
most
grosse
and
fat
milke
,
being
pure
and
newly
drawne
,
to
make
Cheese
that
shall
keepe
a
long
time
:
and
of
such
milke
she
shall
gather
neither
Butter
nor
Creame
;
but
such
as
it
commeth
from
the
Cow
,
such
shall
be
put
in
Vessels
for
to
coagulate
and
turne
to
curds
.
The
way
to
curdle
it
,
To
curd
the
milke
.
is
to
mingle
therewith
of
the
Runnet
,
of
a
Lambe
,
Kid
,
or
Hare
,
or
the
flowers
of
wild
Thistle
,
or
the
seed
of
blessed
Thistle
,
or
the
iuice
of
the
Fig-tree
,
which
commeth
out
of
the
Tree
when
one
cutteth
the
greene
barke
thereof
:
or
the
leaues
and
hoarinesse
which
groweth
at
the
small
end
of
the
Artichokes
,
or
Ginger
,
or
the
inner
skin
of
a
house-Hennes
stomack
,
or
the
spawne
egges
of
a
Pike
,
and
with
these
it
is
vsuall
to
make
Cheese
to
be
eaten
in
Lent
:
or
the
blacke
mutable
Thistle
,
therefore
called
Chameleon
niger
.
Let
her
beware
of
casting
in
any
the
least
quantitie
of
vineger
,
for
one
onely
drop
of
vineger
is
sufficient
to
hinder
the
turning
of
the
milke
into
curds
.
But
aboue
all
,
the
best
and
most
principallest
Runnet
The
best
runni●
is
the
small
Cheeslep
bagge
or
stomacke
of
a
young
Calfe
,
not
aboue
three
weekes
or
a
moneth
old
,
well
washt
,
salted
,
cleansed
,
and
seasoned
with
Cloues
,
Mace
,
and
a
little
Nutmeg
,
and
so
kept
in
a
close
pot
with
Bryne
,
and
so
vsed
according
as
occasion
serueth
.
The
pot
in
which
the
milke
is
,
must
not
be
without
some
quantitie
of
heat
for
to
keepe
it
warme
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
it
must
not
come
neere
vnto
the
fire
,
as
it
may
not
stand
farre
off
:
And
when
it
is
curded
and
gathered
together
,
it
must
be
put
presently
into
slices
,
tormes
,
or
fats
,
for
it
is
profitable
that
the
Whay
should
run
out
,
and
separate
it selfe
from
the
Curd
.
But
chiefely
,
and
aboue
all
other
things
,
it
is
required
,
that
the
maidens
which
shall
meddle
with
the
making
of
Cheese
,
should
be
cleanly
,
f●t
for
the
purpose
,
their
sleeues
from
about
their
hands
and
armes
folded
vp
,
and
aboue
all
,
farre
from
being
troubled
with
their
termes
.
In
like
sort
,
the
people
of
the
Countrey
of
Auergnac
,
which
make
great
reckoning
of
their
Cheese
,
doe
chuse
the
young
children
that
are
but
of
foureteene
yeares
of
age
,
and
those
proper
,
neat
,
and
handsomely
trim●ed
vp
,
not
hauing
scabbed
or
scur●e
hands
,
neither
yet
of
an
vntemperate
heat
:
for
they
thinke
and
persuade
themselues
,
that
such
filthinesse
of
the
hands
doth
hinder
the
full
curding
and
ioyning
together
of
the
Cheese
,
and
so
doth
make
them
full
of
eies
.
If
she
determine
to
drie
,
Hard

.
harden
,
and
keepe
them
long
,
she
shall
the
more
carefully
looke
to
the
strayning
forth
of
the
Whay
and
cleare
Milke
,
and
after
to
set
〈◊〉
in
rowes
vpon
〈◊〉
,
Lattises
,
or
Cheese-heigh●●
fit
for
the
same
,
and
that
withall
it
be
in
a
cellar
,
or
in
some
darke
and
coole
place
:
or
else
to
take
them
vp
into
some
high
place
,
hauing
store
of
aire
;
prouided
alwayes
,
that
the
Sunne
haue
〈◊〉
power
ouer
the
Cheese
.
She
shall
shift
them
euerie
day
vntill
about
the
fourth
or
fifth
day
,
at
which
time
they
will
begin
to
cast
a
slowre
,
as
though
it
were

then
shee
shall
cast
a

small
salt
vpon
them

The
next
morning
shee
shall
turne
the
other
side
,
and
doe
the
like
therewith
:
after
she
shall
turne
them
euery
day
;
and
,
if
need
be
,
make
them
cleane
on
both
sides
and
about
the
edges
with
a
rebated
knife
made
of
purpose
,
such
a
one
as
will
not
cut
.
After
some
time
,
when
〈◊〉
knoweth
that
they
are
somewhat
drie
,
shee
shall
put
them
in
another
place
,
as
vpon
boords
layd
as
it
were
vpon
ladders
:
she
shall
cleanse
and
scrape
them
oft
,
and
keepe
her
boords
cleane
also
:
and
if
by
striuing
to
keepe
them
long
,
they
become
hard
and
bitter
,
she
shall
couer
them
ouer
in
Grauell
,
or
in
Barly
flower
,
or
in
Cich-pease
,
or
else
she
shall
couer
them
with
the
leaues
of
Dragons
,
which
likewise
doe
keepe
them
from
being
eaten
of
Mites
,
and
that
they
doe
not
become
mouldie
.
And
in
case
that
wormes
doe
eat
them
,
shee
shall
take
away
this
vermine
,
and
annoint
them
with
oyle
of
Linseed
,
or
the
drossie
parts
of
the
same
,
which
will
preserue
them
singularly
〈◊〉
or
else
shee
shall
put
them
in
a
great
heape
of
Millet
corne

Linseed
,
which
will
keepe
them
fresh

coole
in
the
hotest

And
seeing
the
deepest
point
of
skill
about
Cheese
,
is
to
bestow
them
so
as
that
they

she

things
keepe
them
from

.
And
it
further
behoueth
her
to
haue
this
care
,
as
to
see
that
throughout
all
the
Henne-house
there
be
neither

nor
any
place
of
the

Beasts

preuent
the
danger
of

to

as
also

,
which
sometimes
will
not
let
to
swap
into
the
very
Brood-house
to
catch
and
carrie
away
the
Chickens
.
And
to
the
end
you
may
not
lose
any
of
them
,
you
must
cut
off
the
great
feathers
of
one
wing
from
such
as
vse
oftentimes
to
flye
ouer
walls
,
that
so
also
by
this
meanes
you
may
keepe
them
out
of
your
Gardens
;
for
they
would
take
it
vp
for
a
custome
,
and
it
would
keepe
them
from
laying
.
And
for
a
surer
preuention
of
the
foresaid
mischiefes
,
The
wings
of
Cocks
&
Capons
must
not
be
cut
.
ouer
and
aboue
that
which
hath
beene
said
(
for
it
is
not
good
to
clip
the
wings
of
Cocks
or
Capons
)
you
must
fasten
and
set
rowes
of
thorne
faggots
vpon
the
tops
of
the
walls
of
the
said
Gardens
and
all
other
places
elsewhere
.
The
Brood-house
The
Brood-house
.
shall
be
built
aside
from
the
Farme-place
,
farre
off
from
the
lodging
of
the
chiefe
Lord
,
because
that
such
birds
are
loathsome
,
doe
foule
euerie
thing
,
and
spoyle
whatsoeuer
household
furniture
:
turned
toward
the
East
,
from
the
Winter
and
Northerne
quarter
,
neere
vnto
the
Ouen
of
the
Kitchin
,
if
it
be
possible
,
to
the
end
that
the
heat
thereof
,
which
helpeth
them
to
lay
,
and
the
smoake
which
is
verie
wholesome
for
the
Pullen
,
may
reach
euen
vnto
it
.
It
shall
haue
a
little
window
right
vpon
the
East
,
by
which
the
Pullen
may
come
forth
into
the
Court
in
the
morning
,
and
goe
in
againe
at
euening
:
it
shall
be
shut
at
night
,
to
the
end
they
may
nestle
themselues
more
safely
from
the
danger
of
such
beasts
as
are
apt
to
offer
them
wrong
:
without
,
and
on
the
side
next
the
Court
,
they
shall
haue
pretie
ladders
,
by
which
the
Pullen
may
flye
vp
into
the
window
,
and
into
their
house
,
to
roust
and
rest
themselues
for
the
night
time
.
This
Henne-house
must
be
well
layd
with
Lome
,
and
smoothed
both
within
and
without
,
to
the
end
,
that
Cats
,
Fulmers
,
and
Snakes
,
and
other
dangerous
beasts
,
may
not
come
neere
vnto
the
Pultrie
:
and
that
neere
vnto
this
Henne-house
,
in
the
middest
of
the
Court
▪
there
be
certaine
Trees
or
Arbors
for
sowre
Grapes
,
to
the
end
that
Pullen
may
haue
shadow
vnder
it
in
Summer
,
and
that
Chickens
may
haue
couer
and
defence
against
the
Kite
,
the
Owles
,
and
other
such
rauenous
birds
.
It
is
not
good
that
they
should
sleepe
vpon
the
plaine
floore
,
that
so
their
ordure
and
dung
may
not
hang
vnto
their
feet
,
for
thus
they
would
grow
to
haue
paine
in
their
feet
,
and
to
become
gow●ie
.
For
this
cause
,
you
must
set
all
along
the
Henne-house
,
a
foot
higher
than
the
floore
,
and
two
feet
one
from
another
,
●quare
Pearches
,
not
round
,
because
that
if
they
should
be
round
,
the
Pullen
could
not
sit
fast
vpon
them
.
Right
ouer-against
the
Henne-house
,
and
a
little
way
off
from
it
,
you
shall
prepare
a
dunghill
for
the
benefit
of
the
Pullen
after
this
sort
and
manner
:
Cast
a
great
deale
of
earth
into
a
great
hole
of
purpose
made
for
such
an
end
,
which
you
shall
besprinkle
with
the
bloud
of
Oxen
and
other
beasts
,
killed
onely
for
the
Hide
;
afterward
you
shall
cast
a
reasonable
quantitie
of
Oates
vpon
the
same
,
and
you
shall
turne
the
said
earth
the
vppermost
lowermost
:
in
a
small
time
there
will
be
engendred
such
a
great
quantitie
of
wormes
,
as
that
the
Pullen
shall
haue
picking
worke
there
for
a
long
time
;
and
the
gras●e
which
shall
sticke
there
,
will
correct
the
fat
which
they
shall
get
by
the
wormes
which
they
haue
picked
:
And
when
you
shall
see
the
prouision
of
wormes
to
faile
,
you
may
begin
againe
your
watering
of
the
earth
with
bloud
,
and
sowing
of
Oates
thereupon
,
as
at
the
first
.
Some
to
haue
fa●
Capons
,
and
of
a
pleasant
flesh
,
when
the
Mulberries
are
in
season
,
doe
plant
Mulberrie
trees
in
their
Courts
:
for
Capons
,
and
all
other
manner
of
Fowles
,
which
feede
vpon
Mulberries
,
become
maruellous
fat
,
and
of
an
excellent
taste
and
verdure
.
To
euerie
dozen
of
Hennes
one
good
Cocke
is
sufficient
:
howsoeuer
those
of
former
daies
doe
allow
one
to
euerie
fiue
;
and
he
must
not
be
of
colour
white
,
nor
yet
gray
,
but
red
,
tawnie
,
or
black
;
his
body
wel
compact
,
his
crest
or
combe
very
vpright
,
red
,
thicke
,
not
notched
,
toothed
or
gasht
with
cuts
,
a
well
raised
necke
and
high
,
〈◊〉
pinions
and
flight
of
his
wings
great
,
his
eares
great
and
verie
white
,
his
bill
〈◊〉
,
thicke
,
and
crooked
,
his
eye
blacke
,
in
a
circle
that
is
red
,
yellow
,
or
azure
;
his
〈◊〉
of
a
rose
colour
,
standing
of
a
white
and
red
mixture
;
the
feathers
of
his
necke
long
,
golden
,
and
changeable
;
his
legges
verie
scalie
,
thick
,
and
short
,
his
clawes
short
and
fast
;
his
spurs
stiffe
and
sharpe
;
his
tayle
vpright
,
gros●e
,
thicke
,
and
crooking
backward
ouer
his
head
.
The
taw●e
or
reddish
Henne
in
like
manner
is
the
best
,
The
markes
of
a
good
Henne
.
and
that
which
hath
the
feathers
of
her
wings
blacke
,
though
shee
her selfe
be
not
altogether
blacke
:
for
the
gray
or
blacke
colour
is
but
little
worth
,
because
they
be
hard
to
bring
vp
,
and
sparingly
giuen
to
lay
egges
;
and
yet
moreouer
,
they
be
small
,
alwayes
leane
,
vnhealthfull
,
and
their
flesh
of
small
rell●sh
.
The
stature
of
the
Henne
must
be
indifferent
,
her
head
great
,
her
combe
vpright
and
verie
red
,
her
bodie
great
and
square
,
her
necke
thicke
,
and
breast
large
.
The
dwarfe
or
little
Hennes
doe
lay
oftener
than
the
other
,
but
they
are
not
so
fit
to
be
set
on
egges
to
bring
forth
Chickens
.
The
greater
Hennes
are
not
so
giuen
to
lay
:
wherefore
Hennes
of
middle
size
are
to
be
preferred
before
the
other
,
foreseene
that
they
haue
large
wings
,
and
their
bodies
thick
set
with
feathers
:
and
if
they
haue
fiue
clawes
as
the
Cockes
,
they
are
more
wild
,
and
not
so
tame
as
others
.
The
Henne
that
hath
spurs
,
The
Henne
with
spurs
.
spoyleth
her
egges
,
hatcheth
not
so
ordinarily
,
and
sometimes
eateth
the
egges
shee
sitteth
on
.
The
Henne
which
is
giuen
daintily
to
affect
and
feed
vpon
the
grapes
,
The
daint●e-mouthed
Henne
being
the
thing
that
keepeth
her
from
laying
,
will
be
kept
from
seeking
after
and
eating
of
them
,
by
giuing
her
the
〈◊〉
of
the
wild
Vine
;
for
this
doth
cause
such
a
roughnes●e
or
edge
in
her
as
in
those
that
haue
eaten
sowre
fruits
.
The
Henne
that
is
too
fat
,
or
which
hath
the
flux
of
the
belly
,
layeth
wind
egges
.
The
young
Henne
is
nothing
skilfull
either
to
fit
or
to
lead
Chickens
:
wherefore
you
must
fat
the
Henne
with
spurres
,
and
the
Chauntres●e
or
crowing
Henne
,
and
her
that
scratcheth
and
allureth
the
other
Hennes
,
by
clocking
,
a●
the
Cocke
is
wont
to
doe
;
and
that
,
by
plucking
first
the
greatest
feathers
of
her
wings
,
and
giuing
for
to
eat
great
store
of
Mille●
,
Barly
,
and
Paste
,
cut
in
gobbets
,
brui●ed
Acornes
,
Bran
mixt
with
pottage
,
the
huskes
of
Rice
,
Pannickle
,
and
Oates
,
or
the
crums
of
Wheat
bread
steept
in
the
water
of
Barly
flower
,
and
to
keepe
her
in
a
close
place
where
she
cannot
stirre
,
and
to
pull
the
feathers
of
her
head
,
thighs
,
and
r●mpe
.
Such
Hennes
thus
fatted
by
the
hands
of
a
man
,
may
be
recouered
at
any
time
of
the
yeare
,
but
the
fle●h
is
not
of
●o
good
rellish
as
when
they
grow
fat
going
abroad
at
their
libertie
:
which
thing
happeneth
and
falleth
out
more
commonly
at
one
time
of
the
yeare
than
at
another
,
the
verie
right
and
naturall
season
of
their
chiefe
fatting
being
in
the
moneths
of
Ianuarie
and
Februarie
,
for
indeed
in
these
moneths
Hennes
are
nothing
inferior
vnto
Capons
.
The
o●er-fat
Henne
.
The
Henne
that
is
too
fat
,
shall
be
made
leane
by
mixing
of
Fullers
earth
with
her
water
,
and
of
the
powder
of
a
softened
Bricke
in
her
meat
.
And
if
she
haue
a
loose
belly
,
you
must
giue
her
for
her
first
meat
the
white
of
an
egge
roasted
and
beaten
in
a
Mortar
with
the
double
quantitie
of
Bulleis
.
And
for
the
mad
Henne
,
The
mad-brained
Henne
.
which
breaketh
her
egges
and
eateth
them
,
you
must
cast
Alablaster
vpon
the
yolke
of
an
egge
,
so
long
as
till
it
be
hard
therewith
,
and
so
to
make
this
to
serue
(
being
fashioned
like
a
shell
)
for
her
neast
:
or
else
to
make
an
egge

Alablaster
or

And

them

if
you
giue

young
Nettles

they

They
leaue
laying

the
third
of
Nouember

To
haue
egges
all
Winter
time

which
is
at
such
time
as
the
cold
beginneth
:
but
if
vpon
curiositie
you
would
keepe
by
themselues
some
of
the
fairest
to
lay
egges
all
Winter
long
,
you
must
feed
them
with
tosted
bread
steept
from
euening

morning
,
and
giue
them
to
their
breakfast
:
and
for

meat
in

at
night
to
cast
them
some
little
quantitie
of
Oates
,
Barley
,

which
doth
warme
them
:
or
some
Mustard
seed
,
which
aboue
all
other
things
causeth
Hennes
to
lay
egges
good
store
,
that
is
to
say
,
in
the
sharpe
cold
times
of
Winter
;
which
thing
you
shall
proue
verie
true
by
experience
,
if
you
make
triall
of
it
:
or
else
to
seed
them
with
Earth-wormes
,
which
will
also
cause
them
to
lay
egges
in
great
number
.
You
must
not
let
them
sit
presently
after
their
first
yeare
of
laying
▪
and
when
they
are
past
three
yeares
old
,
you
must
eat
them
.
You
must
also
dispatch
and
make
away
with
those
that
are
barren
and
lay
not
at
all
:
and
as
for
those
that
doe
lay
very
much
,
you
must
change
their
Neasts
often
,
and
marke
their
egges
,
to
set
them
in
time
,
if
it
be
possible
.
When
they
are
casting
off
their
feathers
,
otherwise
called
of
the
common
people
moulting
,
you
must
not
suffer
them
to
goe
out
of
the
place
whereinto
you
haue
shut
them
,
except
it
be
to
refresh
them
when
it
is
verie
faire
,
and
then
to
keepe
them
that
the
Eagle

doe
not

It
is
vsuall
to
set
Hennes
the
second
yeare
of
their
laying
,
The
time
to
set
Hennes
.
and
so
the
third
and
fourth
:
and
so
let
any
set
many
Hennes
at
one
time
,
and
vnder
their
straw
some
pieces
of
yron
,
for
feare
it
shou'd
thunder
,
or
else
some
Bay
leaues

the

else
some
greene

some
say
that
this
is
good
against
the
Pip

the
monstrous
fruit
.
They
are
put
there
in
the
growth
of
the
Moone
,
after
the
twelfth
day
of
the
new
Moone
vntill
the
foureteenth
,
saith
Florentine
;
and
Columella
saith
,
from
the
tenth
vnto
the
fifteenth
,
to
the
end
that
the
Hennes
may
hatch
in
the
next
new
Moone
,
for
to
that
end
they
stand
not
in
need
of
any
moe
daies
than
one
and
twentie
.
And
the
Neasts
of
these
Hennes
must
be
made
in
the
bottome
of
a
Tunne
or
Pipe
,
to
the
end
that
when
they
come
off
they
cause
not
any
thing
to
fall
or
roule
.
Some
perfume
the
straw
that
they
are
to
sit
vpon
,
before
they
lay
the
egges
therein
,
with
Brimstone
,
to
keepe
the
Henne
for
hatching
before
her
time
.
And
you
shall
set
vnder
her
the
egges
that
you
haue
marked
,
and
of
those
the
fairest
and
newest
,
and
if
it
be
possible
,
those
of
her
owne
:
And
looke
that
they
haue
beene
layd
since
the
seuenth
of
Februarie
,
and
before
the
two
and
twentieth
of
September
:
for
such
as
are
layd
at
any
other
time
,
are
nothing
worth
,
no
more
than
those
which
were
first
layd
,
or
yet
those
which
were
layd
by
the
Henne
without
the
help
of
the
Cock
:
and
there
must
alwaie●s
care
be
had
that
they
be
odde
,
that
is
to
say
,
in
Ianuary
fifteene
,
in
March
nineteene
,
and
after
Aprill
one
and
twentie
.
The
greatest
part
of
the
inhabitants
of
Lyons
doe
admit
of
no
other
number
than
three
and
twentie
.
After
the
second
of
October
they
set
not
any
more
,
neyther
indeed
ought
they
,
if
it
be
not
in
Ouens
,
according
to
the
vse
of
the
inhabitants
of
Maliha
,
Ouens
to
set
egges
in
.
and
some
of
those
of
Beauceron
:
But
Hennes
are
too
much
punished
and
put
to
paine
to
breed
and
bring
vp
Chickens
in
Winter
.
As
also
there
is
a
common
opinion
receiued
,
That
after
mid-Iune
Hennes
are
small
worth
,
and
cannot
encrea●e
so
rightly
;
and
well
to
the
purpose
.
If

draw
you
to
set

vnder

be
not
their
owne

To

vnder

.
as
those
of
the
Goose
,
Peacocke
,
or
Indian
Henne
,
or
else
of
Ducks
,
then
let
them
be
put
vnder
the
Henne
some
seuen
or
nine
dayes
before
,
and
after
adde
thereto
of
her
owne
some
such
odde
number
,
as
hath
beene
spoken
of
before
:
But
and
if
they
be
Fesants
egges
,
you
need
not
to
set
the
Henne
any
sooner
vpon
them
,
then
and
if
they
were
her
owne
;
for
they
require
no
more
time
to
be
hatcht
in
:
To
haue
Henne-birds
or
Cock-birds
.
And
if
you
would
haue
them
all
Henne-birds
,
then
set
such
egges
as
are
more
round
and
blunt
,
for
the
long
and
sharpe-pointed
ones
are
commonly
Cock-birds
.
Some
are
carefull
not
to
put
one
after
another
into

Neast
,

in

in

Platter
,
and
thence
let
themslide
downe
into
the

verie
softly
.
And
care
must
be
had
,
that
neither
Cockes
,
nor
any
other
Hennes
,
may
goe
in
to
sit
vpon
them
:
and
to
that
end
twice
euery
day
to
set
meat
and
drinke
so
neere
vnto
the
Henne
,
The
Hennes
meat
&
drinks
must
be
set
within
the
thing
she
siteth
in
.
as
that
shee
need
not
rise
for
to
feed
her selfe
;
for
if
but
for
her
meat
shee
once
cast
off
her
care
of
them
,
it
will
be
much
adoe
to
get
her
to
returne
vnto
them
againe
,
if
she
be
not
a
free
and
verie
kind
Henne

to
returne
vnto
her
egges
,
to
sit
vpon
them
equally
,
it
will
be
good
sometimes
to
turne
them
ouer
softly
when
she
shall
be
from
her
Neast
.
There
are
some
women
that
cannot
stay
to
the
end
of
the
Hatching
:
The
impatiencie
of
women
.
but
about
the
fourth
day
after
the
setting
of
the
Henne
,
they
will
be
heauing
euerie
one
of
them
vp
one
after
one
to
looke
vpon
in
the
cleere
Sunne-shine
,
and
if
they
see
not
bloudie
streames
or
threads
within
them
,
they
cast
them
out
,
and
put
vnder
others
in
their
places
.
And
in
like
manner
,
at
the
one
and
twentith
day
,
if
they
find
that
she
stayeth
from
hatching
,
they
take
off
the
Henne
.
But
good
sitting
Hennes
will
not
returne
any
more
to
their
Neasts
,
after
that
the
egges
haue
been
touched
.
Likewise
the
good
Huswife
sayth
,
That
as
for
the
egges
which
are
vnder
the
Henne
,
they
ought
not
to
be
touched
till
they
be
hatched
.
Likewise
they
must
be
well
chosen
and
viewed
in
the
Sunne
betwixt
both
her
hands
before
that
they
be
put
vnder
the
Henne
.
To
trie
the
egges
that
must
be
set
.
Such
as
doe
any
thing
doubt
that
the
egges
are
not
all
good
,
and
that
the
Chickens
cannot
come
forth
by
reason
of
the
hardnesse
of
the
shell
,
must
not
faile
to
bath
them
about
the
eighteenth
day
in
a
hollow
dish
and
warme
water
,
and
to
take
away
such
as
swim
aboue
the
water
,
putting
the
rest
vnder
the
Henne
againe
.
But
you
must
not
force
the
Henne
to
rise
off
the
Neast
in
your
thus
doing
.
You
shall
greatly
pleasure
the
Henne
,
if
when
the
Chickens
begin
to
chirpe
,
and
there
be
found
some
which
will
not
let
the
Chicken
come
forth
,
by
reason
of
the
hardnesse
of
the
shell
,
that
then
you
helpe
her
to
breake
the
same
:
howsoeuer
indeed
this
is
the
part
of
a
good
conditioned
Henne
,
as
also
to
flye
at
your
face
if
you
come
neere
to
her
,
after
she
hath
once
heard
them
cheape
or
chirpe
vnder
her
.
The
little
Chickens
,
The
Henne
Pip.
newly
hatched
,
must
be
put
vnder
a
Sieue
,
and
lightly
perfumed
with
Rosemarie
,
for
to
keepe
them
from
the
Pip
:
and
for
the
space
of
two
dayes
you
must
not
giue
them
any
thing
to
eat
,
but
put
them
vnder
some
Henne
that
hath
not
manie
,
and
which
is
not
either
of
Partridge
colour
,
or
wild
and
vntamed
,
that
thereby
they
may
be
kept
warme
whiles
the
other
are
in
hatching
:
or
which
is
better
,
to
put
them
to
follow
some
Capon
so
soone
as
they
be
hatched
,
rather
than
any
Henne
;
for
by
that
meanes
they
will
be
better
defended
both
from
Cold
and
rauenous
Birds
,
as
also
better
fed
:
besides
that
,
hereby
the
Henne
will
be
the
fitter
to
fall
to
laying
of
egges
againe
.
It
is
true
indeed
,
that
there
must
choice
be
made
of
a
●ound
and
couragious
Capon
,
to
plucke
away
his
feathers
from
vnder
his
belly
,
and
to
nettle
him
with
the
strongest
and
most
stinging
Nettles
that
you
can
get
,
and
after
to
make
him
drunke
with
bread
steeped
in
wine
,
and
to
put
him
vnder
a
basket
made
of
Osiers
,
with
his
brood
of
Chickens
,
and
so
leaue
him
these
some
time
▪
to
the
end
he
may
fall
in
loue
with
them
.
So
soone
as
he
shall
be
at
libertie
,
hee
will
beare
them
vp
,
keepe
them
,
lead
them
,
and
become
a
more
foolish
,
doting
,
or
true
louer
of
them
,
than
the
Henne
her selfe
would
haue
beene
:
Howbeit
,
the
naturall
dame
is
verie
carefull
,
and
giuen
to
keepe
them
vnder
her
wings
verie
wisely
,
without
doing
them
any
manner
of
harme
or
hurt
.
When
as
therefore
they
be
two
day●●
old
,
you
must
crumble
them
some
soft
Bread
and
Cheese
,
or
else
some
Barley
meale
,
and
Garden
Cresses
,
softened
and
infused
in
wine
and
water
,
with
a
few
of
the
leau●●
of
Leekes
chopped
verie
small
,
and
a
little
sodden
,
and
this
will
be
good
for
them
against
Rheumes
and
the
Pip
:
And
after
this
time
,
for
the
space
of
fifteene
dayes
,
they
must
be
kept
vnder
a
Cowpe
with
the
Henne
or
Capon
:
and
then
at
the
end
of
those
dayes
to
let
them
runne
about
both
leader
and
followers
,
giuing
them
still
the
same
nourishment
to
feed
vpon
.
And
if
you
haue
manie
sitting
Hennes
that
ha●e
hatched
at
one
time
,
giue
and
put
the
Chickens
of
the
one
vnto
another
of
the
eldest
and
most
vsed
to
lead
,
or
else
to
a
Capon
,
as
hath
beene
said
,
and
let
the
younger
Hennes
returne
againe
to
the
Cocke
:
but
see
that
you
put
not
aboue
fiue
and
twentie
or
thirtie
vnto
any
one
Henne
,
because
shee
will
not
be
able
to
couer
or
brood
aboue
that
number
.
Againe
,
there
must
good
care
be
had
,
that
the
Henne
which
le●deth
them
be
not
curst
and
brutish
,
that
so
she
may
not
hurt
them
as
she
is
scratching
,
or
set
them
in
a
heat
by
flying
;
neither
yet
that
she
be
giuen
to
much
climbing
,
or
gadding
into
such
places
as
her
little
ones
cannot
follow
her
into
.
Wherefore
it
shall
be
good
not
to
suffer
them
to
goe
so
soone
to
the
Court-yard
,
but
rather
,
for
the
space
of
fortie
dayes
,
to
keepe
them
that
they
goe
not
from
the
place
where
they
were
hatched
.
You
must
likewise
beware
that
the
Snake
doe
not
breath
vpon
or
hisse
at
them
:
for
the
smell
of
such
breath
is
so
pestilent
vnto
them
,
as
that
it
generally
killeth
them
all
.
The
remedie
is
,
to
burne
oftentimes
,
neere
vnto
their
Cowpe
,
Hart●-horne
,
Galbanum
,
or
Womens
haire
,
for
the
fume
or
smoake
of
these
doth
driue
them
away
.
It
is
a
paine
to
goe
about
to
hatch
Chickens
without
the
heat
of
the
Henne
:
To
hatch
Chickens
without
the
heat
of
the
Henne
.
and
although
the
thing
may
be
done
,
yet
it
is
not
so
certaine
nor
so
profitable
.
They
are
set
on
a
row
,
the
sharpe
pointed
end
vpward
,
in
an
Ouen
verie
meanely
warme
,
and
vpon
warme
Hennes
dung
,
which
must
be
renewed
euerie
six
dayes
;
and
ouer
and
vnder
them
thus
set
,
some
doe
put
bagges
of
Feathers
,
and
they
must
be
stirred
now
and
then
:
after
the
eighteenth
day
,
they
must
be
bathed
in
warme
water
;
and
th●
one
and
twentieth
,
they
must
be
holpen
to
breake
the
shell
.
Againe
,
it
may
be
done
otherwise
:
The
same
day
that
you
set
a
Henne
(
to
the
end
that
you
may
the
better
remember
,
because
it
is
not
so
easie
to
number
the
dayes
as
to
tell
the
egges
)
you
may
take
as
manie
egges
as
you
haue
set
,
and
put
them
vpon
bagges
full
of
Hennes
dung
(
well
dryed
,
sifted
,
and
compassed
about
with
Downe
,
or
such
soft
Feathers
as
are
on
the
inside
of
the
thighes
)
and
made
after
the
manner
of
Neasts
.
And
againe
,
others
doe
make
a
bed
of
the
said
Downe
vpon
the
bagges
,
and
vpon
this
bed
they
rank●
their
egges
,
as
hath
been
said
,
and
after
couering
them
with
other
Downe
and
bagges
aboue
,
in
such
sort
,
as
that
the
Downe
and
bagges
lye
close
round
about
,
and
euerie
where
touching
the
egges
:
which
done
,
after
three
or
foure
dayes
,
they
must
be
●urned
once
euerie
day
,
and
that
so
softly
and
nimbly
,
as
that
they
may
not
hit
one
vpon
another
:
And
at
the
twentieth
day
(
being
such
time
as
the
Hennes
begin
to
picke
the
egge-shells
)
you
must
helpe
to
make
way
for
this
your
brood
to
come
forth
,
and
after
put
them
to
some
Henne
that
hath
but
a
few
.
But
there
is
nothing
beyond
and
besides
naturall
inclination
and
disposition
to
be
attempted
in
any
thing
.
The
Henne
will
sit
all
Winter
as
well
as
in
Summer
,
if
shee
haue
meat
made
of
Branne
,
mixt
with
the
leaues
and
seed
of
drie
Nettles
.
You
must
make
choice
of
such
egges
as
are
of
blacke
Pullets
,
Y●
know
a
good
egge
.
as
much
as
are
more
holesome
,
daintie
,
full
,
and
substantiall
than
those
of
other
Hennes
,
by
how
much
they
want
of
being
so
old
:
let
it
not
be
aboue
two
dayes
old
,
let
it
be
white
and
long
,
according
to
the
common
verse
,
The
egge
is
good
,
and
for
delight
,
That
s
long
and
new
,
and
white
in
sight
.
To
know
if
the
egge
be
new
,
you
must
make
such
triall
as
we
haue
set
downe
to
be
vsed
,
to
proue
and
know
such
as
are
good
to
be
set
.
The
huswife
that
maketh
account
to
sell
egges
,
How
egges
may
be
kept
in
Winter
and
Summer
.
must
in
Winter
keepe
them
warme
vpon
straw
,
and
well
couered
;
and
in
Summer
coole
in
Bran
,
according
to
the
aduise
of
old
Writers
:
but
(
be
it
spoken
vnder
correction
)
I
am
quite
of
a
contrarie
mind
;
for
the
Straw
is
coole
,
and
the
Bran
hot
:
Adde
further
,
that
egges
kept
in
Bran
in
Summer
doe
corrupt
the
sooner
.
They
which
doe
couer
and
powder
them
with
salt
,
or
lay
them
in
brine
,
doe
impaire
them
,
and
leaue
them
not
whole
and
full
,
which
will
be
a
hinderance
in
the
sale
of
them
:
and
there
is
no
doubt
but
that
the
egge
doth
take
some
bad
rellish
also
by
that
meanes
.
The
Cellar
is
a
good
place
to
keepe
them
in
both
Winter
and
Summer
.
I
doe
not
intend
here
to
make
any
discourse
,
which
of
the
two
was
first
made
,
the
Egge
or
the
Henne
:
Looke
for
the
deciding
of
this
curious
question
in
the
end
of
Macrobius
,
and
in
Plutarch
his
Opuscula
:
And
you
shall
learne
a
great
deale
better
of
Aristotle
and
Plinie
,
than
of
Hippocrates
,
how
the
Chicken
is
made
within
the
egge
of
the
white
,
and
nourished
by
the
yolke
,
seeing
that
the
yolke
is
of
more
easie
digestion
than
the
white
.
As
concerning
the
cutting
of
Cock-Chickens
,
To
g●ld
Cockreld
.
it
must
be
done
shortly
after
that
their
dam
hath
forsaken
them
,
and
that
they
run
not
chirping
after
her
,
but
begin
to
crow
and
to
fall
in
loue
with
Pullets
;
for
if
they
scape
the
first
yeare
and
halfe
,
then
there
is
no
order
to
be
taken
with
them
:
and
you
must
take
the
best
bodied
,
and
those
which
are
best
thriuen
and
set
with
feathers
,
and
yet
not
growne
to
that
full
perfection
and
naturall
growth
of
feathers
which
Cocks
are
garnished
withall
:
for
after
you
haue
made
choice
of
such
as
shall
serue
for
the
benefit
and
leading
of
your
Hennes
,
to
keepe
them
,
as
those
which
are
the
best
made
,
and
most
bold
,
you
must
cut
the
other
,
for
to
feed
and
fat
either
in
the
Cowpe
or
in
the
Chaffe-house
.
Some
men
(
as
for
example
at
Mans
and
in
Bretaigne
)
doe
put
out
their
eyes
,
To
fat
Capons
.
as
they
doe
vnto
Gossings
,
and
giue
meat
of
corne
halfe
boyled
,
capons
of
Means
and
Bretaigne
.
and
of
paste
well
crusht
and
braked
,
and
made
into
gobbets
,
and
thus
they
become
fat
within
fortie
dayes
at
the
most
:
but
they
must
be
well
looked
to
,
and
haue
all
their
feathers
pulled
from
about
their
heads
,
to
the
end
to
keepe
them
from
vermine
.
As
concerning
other
particulars
,
of
the
Henne
,
of
the
Egge
and
of
the
Medicines
which
the
Husbandman
may
draw
from
them
for
the
good
of
his
health
:
The

as
also
shee
will
hatch
Pullets
of
verie
pleasant
colour

behold
,
if
you
make
her
tread
by
male
Pigeons
,
or

,
or

you
shall

prouide

where
they
make

you
shall

soften

that

handled

that
you
may
draw
it

It
hath
beene
obserued
of
a
long

,
What
egges
will
keepe
best
.
that
the
egges
layd
after
the
new

the

in
the

of
August
,
or
in
the

of

likewise
which
are
layd
on
the

Natiuitie
,
or
on
the
day
of
the

,
are
lasting
and
durable
,
and
not
easily
corrupted
.
Whereof
there
cannot
be
deuised
any
other
reason
,
than
that
in
some
of
them
the
shell
is
made
hard
,
and
not
to
be
pierced
through
of
the

by
the

of

and
in
the
other
there
is
a
most
quick
exhaling

expending
of
that
which
might
be
corrupted
within
the

by
the

Some
hold
it
for
an
vndoubted
truth
,
To
rost
an

.
that
for

an

Of
Geese
.
THe
Countrey
Farme
being
for
the
most
part
vnprouided
of
the
bene●●ts
and
easements
of
water
,
especially
running
streames
,
is
not
so
fit
to
breed
and
nourish
Geese
:
except
for
priuate
commodities
sake
it
fall
out
,
that
the
Farmer
doe
make
him
some
Fish-ponds
or
standing
Lakes
of
his
owne
,
Geese
loue
to
bath
and
tumble
themselues
in
the
water
.
and
at
his
owne
proper
costs
and
charges
:
For
the
Goose
,
as
well
as
the
Ducke
,
doth
loue
to
swim
,
and
to
coole
,
plunge
,
and
tumble
her selfe
euerie
day
;
neither
doe
they
tread
almost
any
where
else
but
in
the
water
.
There
is
great
profit
,
and
there
is
great
losse
also
thereof
:
profit
,
because
the
charge
of
keeping
or
feeding
them
is
not
so
costly
,
The
Goose
is
a
bird
of
great
profit
and
disprofit
.
as
their
watch
and
ward
is
good
and
gainefull
;
being
indeed
better
than
that
of
the
dogge
,
as
hath
beene
shewed
long
agoe
by
the
Geese
of
the
Capitoll
in
Rome
,
who
awaking
the
souldiors
and
standing
Watch
,
were
the
cause
that
the
enemie
was
repulsed
and
driuen
backe
:
Againe
,
she
declareth
when
Winter
draweth
nigh
,
by
her
continuall
squeaking
and
crying
:
shee
layeth
egges
,
hatcheth
Goslings
,
affoordeth
feathers
twice
a
yeare
,
for
the
Bed
,
for
Writing
,
and
for
Shafts
,
which
are
gathered
at
the
Spring
and
Autumne
.
The
losse
or
discommoditie
is
,
because
they
craue
a
keeper
;
for
otherwise
they
will
bruse
and
knap
off
the
young
siences
of
Trees
,
the
hearbes
of
the
Garden
,
and
the
shoots
of
Vines
,
as
also
iniure
and
hurt
the
Corne
when
it
is
shooting
and
putting
forth
his
stalke
,
as
well
by
breaking
it
,
Wild
Geese
.
as
by
dunging
vpon
it
:
in
such
sort
,
as
that
in
the
Countries
where
wild
Geese
(
which
are
fowles
keeping
together
in
flocks
as
well
as
Cranes
)
doe
make
their
greatest
and
principall
haunt
,
as
in
Holland
,
Heynault
,
Artoys
,
and
other
where
,
there
is
found
sometimes
a
great
piece
of
Corne
all
wasted
and
destroyed
in
lesse
than
halfe
a
day
.
And
the
house
or
tame
Geese
doe
no
lesse
harme
,
if
they
be
let
alone
and
suffered
to
do
it
;
for
they
pull
vp
the
corne
by
the
root
:
besides
that
,
where
as
they
dung
,
there
will
nothing
grow
for
a
long
time
after
.
The
best
Goose
and
Gander
is
of
colour
either
white
or
gray
;
and
she
that
is
of
a
mixt
or
two
colours
,
is
also
of
an
indifferent
goodnesse
:
notwithstanding
the
white
doth
abound
more
in
laying
of
egges
than
the
others
,
and
hath
also
a
better
flesh
;
and
it
is
good
to
make
choice
of
such
a
one
as
hath
the
knee
,
ioints
,
and
space
betweene
the
legges
great
and
large
.
The
Goose
goeth
ouer
her
laying
time
thrice
a
yeare
,
if
she
be
kept
from
sitting
and
hatching
:
but
indeed
it
is
a
great
deale
better
when
she
is
set
vpon
egges
,
because
the
young
ones
thereby
brought
forth
doe
nourish
better
than
the
egges
,
as
also
doe
encrease
the
flocke
:
And
at
euerie
laying
time
,
some
lay
twelue
egges
and
moe
sometimes
,
others
but
fiue
at
the
first
,
foure
at
the
second
,
and
three
at
the
last
;
and
these
three
seuerall
times
come
betwixt
the
first
of
March
and
the
last
of
Iune
.
The
memorie
of
a
Goose.
And
they
do
neuer
forget
the
place
which
you
shall
haue
brought
them
to
at
the
first
to
lay
in
:
so
that
looke
where
they
lay
their
first
egges
,
they
will
lay
all
the
rest
;
and
in
the
same
place
also
set
them
,
if
you
will
.
Likewise
you
must
not
let
them
lay
out
of
their
walke
or
fold
,
and
for
that
cause
you
must
keepe
them
shut
in
at
such
time
as
when
you
thinke
they
will
begin
to
lay
:
and
if
you
take
not
vp
their
egges
,
they
will
begin
to
sit
so
soone
as
they
haue
their
full
number
:
but
and
if
you
take
them
away
as
they
be
layd
,
they
will
not
cease
laying
till
they
come
to
an
hundred
,
yea
two
hundred
egges
;
yea
,
so
long
,
and
so
many
,
as
some
say
,
as
vntill
their
fundament
stand
gaping
and
open
,
they
not
being
able
to
shut
it
,
because
of
the
effect
wrought
by
their
much
laying
.
Geese
loue
not
almost
to
sit
any
but
their
owne
egges
;
To
set
Geese
.
and
at
the
least
you
must
se●
that
the
greater
part
that
you
set
her
on
be
her
owne
:
And
she
is
not
commonly
to
be
set
vpon
fewer
than
seuen
or
nine
at
the
least
,
nor
vpon
moe
than
thirteene
or
fifteene
at
the
most
,
and
you
must
looke
she
be
set
vpon
an
odde
number
.
And
who
so
putteth
vnder
the
straw
whereupon
she
sitteth
some
Nettle
roots
,
doth
preuent
that
the
Goslings
,
when
they
be
hatched
,
are
not
so
soone
hurt
.
Some
Geese
in
a
good
and
fauourable
weather
do
hatch
in
fiue
and
twentie
dayes
at
the
most
.
And
neere
vnto
the
place
where
the
sitteth
you
shall
place
steeped
Barly
in
such
quantitie
,
as
that
she
may
take
it
out
of
much
water
:
for
shee
loueth
not
to
leaue
her
young
ones
,
for
sometimes
she
will
rather
die
for
hunger
;
and
to
the
end
also
that
she
may
not
stand
in
need
to
stirre
or
rayse
her selfe
,
except
a
verie
little
for
to
feed
,
seeing
that
thus
her
egges
might
take
cold
.
And
furthermore
,
call
againe
to
mind
that
which
hath
beene
said
of
the
Henne
:
you
may
also
set
Hennes
vpon
Geese
egges
,
and
that
with
better
su●cesse
than
if
they
had
beene
set
vnder
the
Goose
her selfe
,
but
then
not
aboue
seuen
or
eight
.
The
young
Goslings
must
abide
tenne
daies
shut
vp
with
the
Goose
,

.
and
be

tempered
with

now

then
with

th●●
to
the
Medowes
with
their
dame
;
but
let
them
be
fed
before
they
goe
thither
:
for
this
bird
is
so
rauenously
giuen
,
as
that
through
sharpenesse
in
their
hunger
they
pull
the
gras●e
and
young
sprouts
of
Trees
with
such
force
and
violence
,
as
that
sometimes
therewith
they
breake
their

necks
.
They
must
be
kept

Barly

Wheat
meale
tempered
with
Water
and
Honey
,
for
the
Barly
maketh
the
flesh
white
,
and
the
Wheat
maketh
them
fat
,
and
maketh
a
great
liuer
.
Some
doe
make
them
meat
with
new
or
drie
figges
and
leauen
,
and
giue
them
drinke
aboundantly
,
vsing
to
rowle
their
meat
all
ouer
in
Br●n
.
Others
pull
the
feathers
of
their
head
and
belly
,
and
also
the
fat
feathers
of
their
wings
,
and
doe
also
put
out
their
eyes
for
to
fat
them
:
Aboue
all
things
,
you
must
not
pinch
them
in
their
meat
and
drinke
,
because
they
are
great
eaters
,
and
giuen
much
to
drinke
.
Thus
you
shall
haue
them
fat
at
the
most
within
two
moneths
.
The
common
meat
of

is
all
manner
of
Pulse
tempered
with
Bran
and

.
Manie
doe
giue
them
nothing
but
Bran
somewhat
grossely
boulted
,
and
Lettuces
,
Succorie
,
and
Garden
Cres●es
,
for
to
get
them
an
appetite
:
and
they
set
them
this
meat
morning
,
euening
,
and
at
noone
:
and
for
the
rest
of
the
day
they
send
them
to
the
Medowes
,
and
to
the
Water-Pooles
,
vnder
the
custodie
of
some
little
small
Iacke
,
who
may
keepe
them
from
going
or
flying
into
anie
forbidden
places
,
as
also
out
of
the
Nettles
and
Briers
,
as
also
from
feeding
of
Henbane
,
which
some
call
the
Goose-bane
,
and
from
Hemlockes
,
which
set
them
on
such
a
deepe
sleepe
as
that
they
die
therewithall
.
Ancient
Writers
haue
not
permitted
moe
than
three
Geese
to
one
Gander
,
but
we
doe
freely
allow
sixe
,
and
cause
to
be
taken
from
them
the
Downe
or
soft
feathers
on
the
inside
of
their
thighes
,
The
quills
of
dead
Geese
are
not
so
good
as
those
of
the
liue
.
and
the
great
feathers
of
their
wings
to
write
withall
in
March
and
September
:
for
the
quils
of
the
dead
Goose
are
not
so
sit
for
all
vses
,
no
more
than
is
the
wooll
of
slaughtered
sheepe
,
or
those
which
die
of
themselues
.
And
seldome
doe
we
see
much
fewer
than
thirtie
Goslings
in
one
roome
,
howsoeuer
our
predecessors
would
not
put
anie
moe
than
twentie
together
,
for
the
greater
doe
beat
the
les●er
,
and
hurt
them
:
and
for
this
cause
they
must
be
put
into
the
Goose-house
,
and
kept
asunder
with
hurdles
,
in
such
sort
as
sheepe
are
kept
asunder
:
and
they
must
haue
new
straw
oftentimes
,
and
that
such
as
is
cleane
and
verie
small
,
for
their
house
must
be
alwaies
drie
,
and
oftentimes
made
cleane
for
feare
of
vermine
.
And
moreouer
,
The
diseases
of
Geese
.
they
are
subiect
vnto
the
same
diseases
and
casualties
that
Hennes
be
,
and
therefore
they
must
be
tendred
after
the
same
manner
:
Which
that
I
may
not
repeat
,
I
would
haue
you
to
search
it
out
in
the
places
concerning
the
same
.
The
Gosling
,
though
she
be
of
hard
digestion
,
in
as
much
as
she
is
a
water-fowle
,
and
also
abounding
with
superfluities
;
yet
indeed
the
Goslings
,
which
exceed
not
two
moneths
old
,
are
verie
much
commended
in
the
Spring
time
by
reason
of
their
daintinesse
,
as
the
old
are
in
Winter
stuffed
with
great
C●●●nuts
:
her
liuer
also
is
of
verie
pleasant
tast
and
eating
.
The
grease
of
Geese
is
profitable
in
this
point
;
Goose
greese
.
if
it
be
mixt
with
the
iuice
of
an
Onion
,
and
dropt
into
the
eare
,
it
assuageth
paine
,
and
draweth
out
water
.
The
Goose
tongue
dried
and
made
into
powder
,
is
good
against
the
retention
of
ones
vrine
.
The
stones
of
Geese
eaten
by
an
incontinent
woman
after
her
naturall
courses
,
doe
not
onely
prouoke
carnall
copulation
,
but
also
make
apt
to
conceiue
.
The

of
Geese
dried
,
powdred
,
and
taken
in
a
morning
the
weight
of
one

with

doth

A

to
set
in

which
we
haue
appointed
to
be
in
the
midst
of
our
Court
and
Straw
roome
,
may
serue
for
the
Duckes
and
other
birds
liuing
in
the
water
:
And
neere
vnto
the
said
Pond
there
must
be
prouided
for
them
a
low
roofe
,
lightly
couered
,
for
them
to
sit
vnder
in
the
night
,
as
also
in
the
day
,
as
they
please
:
for
as
for
any
great
diligence
&
industrie
to
be
vsed
about
these
fowle
,
indeed
there
in
no
such
need
,
except
it
be
for
the
keeping
of
them
from
Cats
and
Weasels
,
Kites
,
Eagles
,
Vultures
,
and
Serpents
,
which
are
ve●e
noysome
vnto
them
.
In
the
place
of
their
haunt
they
must
haue
some
Corne
cast
,
Pulse
,
The
ordinarie
food
of
Ducks
.
and
the
drosse
of
the
Riddle
or
S●arce
must
be
cast
about
the
edges
of
the
Pond
:
and
also
within
the
same
,
to
cause
them
to
be
pudling
in
the
myre
,
you
〈◊〉
also
let
them
haue
the
libertie
of
such
Ponds
as
you
put
your
fish
into
which
you
meane
to
salt
,
as
also
of
the
next
Riuer
,
as
you
doe
your
Geese
:
notwithstanding
,
it
were
good
that
some
should
see
that
they
haunt
or
frequent
not
your
Ponds
with
fish
,
because
indeed
they
will
eat
vp
the
small
therein
.
But
in
other
points
they
need
not
so
much
attendance
,
seeing
for
the
most
part
they
are
nothing
in
loue
with
Gardens
.
And
as
for
their
Neasts
to
lay
in
and
to
sit
,
they
make
themselues
:
and
there
is
no
care
greater
than
this
,
namely
,
The
egges
of
Ducks
see
vpon
by
a
Henne
,
are
better
than
if
they
were
hatched
by
the
Duck
her selfe
.
to
know
their
haunt
,
especially
that
of
the
wild
ones
,
in
or
about
what
place
of
the
Ponds
they
vse
,
that
so
you
may
take
their
egges
to
put
vnder
some
Henne
to
sit
them
,
thereby
to
make
them
tame
:
for
the
fowle
that
is
thus
or
dered
will
be
better
than
that
of
the
yard
,
and
which
stirreth
not
out
of
the
Court
,
or
from
about
the
sides
of
the
streets
to
tread
.
To
take
such
wild
Ducks
as
are
about
your
Ponds
,
to
make
them
tame
,
you
must
cast
the
lees
of
wine
or
red
wine
in
that
verie
place
of
the
Pond
side
,
Wild
Ducks
may
be
will
taken
when
they
are
drunke
.
where
you
〈◊〉
accustomed
to
cast
them
meat
of
wine
and
corne
with
leauen
and
flower
tempered
together
,
and
you
shall
take
them
when
you
see
them
drunke
:
or
else
to
take
of
the
root
and
seed
of
Henbane
a
good
quantitie
,
and
lay
it
to
steepe
in
a
basen
full
of
water
a
whole
day
and
a
night
,
afterward
put
thereinto
Wheat
,
and
boyle
all
together
vntill
the
said
Corne
be
well
steept
and
swelled
,
afterward
you
shall
put
of
the
same
Corne
in
the
said
place
,
for
the
wild
Duckes
will
runne
vnto
it
,
and
as
soone
as
they
shall
haue
eaten
it
,
they
will
fall
downe
all
astonished
and
giddie
.
This
kind
of
fowle
is
made
fat
in
such
manner
as
the
young
Geese
,
that
is
to
say
,
with
the
same
food
;
onely
it
remaineth
,
that
you
should
giue
vnto
them
,
besides
that
,
the
small
of
the
fish
,
and
so
you
need
not
to
cowpe
them
vp
:
and
as
for
your
common
ones
,
the
more
you
suffer
them
to
runne
,
the
better
it
is
for
them
.
You
may
make
your
profit
of
this
bird
,
in
as
much
as
the
flesh
thereof
is
very
pleasant
to
eat
,
especially
about
the
necke
and
breasts
,
the
feathers
thereof
are
●maller
,
better
,
and
more
wholesome
to
sleepe
vpon
than
those
of
Geese
.
She
layeth
egges
is
great
quantitie
,
but
not
so
good
or
delicate
as
those
of
the
Hennes
;
but
yet
of
vse
〈◊〉
make
Cakes

fried

and
other
daintie
Deuises

adde
hereunto
,
that
you
may

birds

to

to
some
particular

,
as
in

,

and

places

There
are
great
store
to
be
seene
in
such
places
towards
To●●s
,
Angoulesme
,
Coignac
,
the
Riuer
of
Sharant
(
which
is
reported
to
be
floored
with
Swannes
and
paued
with
Trouts
)
Sameure
in
Fraunce
,
as
also
in
Flanders
,
and
towards
Valentia
,
Valentia
the
vale
of
Swans
.
which
some
say
to
haue
beene
,
in
that
respect
,
called
the
Valley
of
Swannes
,
and
may
be
made
tame
,
and
may
be
put
either
in
Ponds
or
i●
Fennes
,
but
indeed
they
destroy
and
spoyle
verie
much
fish
.
Sometimes
they
feed
vpon
the
greene
Corne
,
as
the
Gosling
or
wild
Goose
,
and
doe
make
great
spoil●
and
wast
therein
.
It
is
sufficient
for
two
paire
to
take
their
pleasure
in
your
Pooles
,
How
manie
Swannes
are
ynough
to
be
together
.
or
foure
,
if
they
be
verie
great
,
and
one
paire
onely
is
ynough
in
your
Fish-pond
:
and
they
must
haue
a
house
apart
in
the
Orchard
or
Garden
couered
ouer
a
little
,
and
free
from
disturbance
,
often
made
cleane
and
refreshed
,
for
they
defile
verie
much
.
If
they
haue
not
ynough
whereon
to
feed
in
the
place
of
their
abode
,
you
must
cast
them
some
softened
bread
,
or
some
of
the
smallest
fishes
.
This
is
a
great
eating
fowle
,
and
chargeable
to
be
kept
:
he
maketh
his
Neast
himselfe
,
and
hatcheth
but
once
a
yeare
,
and
three
egges
at
the
most
at
a
time
,
but
he
is
a
verie
beautifull
and
pleasant
bird
.
There
is
a
certaine
kind
of
Swanne
which
hath
his
right
foot
diuided
into
fingers
,
and
fashioned
with
nailes
and
clawes
or
tallons
,
as
birds
of
the
prey
haue
,
whereupon
in
striking
into
the
water
,
he
catcheth
and
footeth
his
prey
,
but
his
left
foot
is
fashioned
after
the
common
manner
of
others
,
and
with
it
he
roweth
vpon
the
water
.
Such
a
one
was
seene
and
killed
at
the
Abbey
of
Iuilly
neere
Dampmartin
,
in
the
yeare
1554.
This
kind
of
Swanne
feedeth
no
where
but
in
the
water
,
and
vpon
his
prey
,
and
is
altogether
wild
,
and
cannot
handsomely
be
tamed
:
but
the
common
Swanne
is
not
such
a
one
.
Socrates
in
Plato
saith
,
that
this
bird
is
dedicated
to
Apollo
,
because
of
the
gift
of
diuination
which
he
hath
,
by
which
he
foreseeth
his
death
,
and
singeth
verie
sweetly
and
melodiously
when
he
perceiueth
the
same
at
hand
,
as
seeming
thereby
to
foresee
what
good
Death
doth
bring
with
it
.
I
haue
obserued
,
that
he
doth
not
onely
foresee
his
owne
death
,
but
also
the
death
of
men
,
especially
when
he
appeareth
in
such
places
as
he
was
not
wont
to
haunt
:
Witnesse
hereof
is
S.
Bartholomew
his
day
in
the
yeare
1572
,
two
or
three
dayes
before
which
were
seene
manie
Swannes
,
flying
,
swimming
,
and
diuing
in
the
Riuer
of
Seyne
,
betwixt
S.
Clou
and
the
Port
of
Nully
.
Cranes
are
not
much
vnlike
to
Swannes
,
Cran●●
.
and
are
not
birds
of
continuall
haunt
,
but
yearely
remouing
from
the
Countries
that
are
more
hot
vnto
those
Countries
that
are
more
cold
.
Their
departure
is
about
September
,
and
their
returne
shortly
after
the
Spring
seed
time
:
and
although
they
doe
addict
themselues
vnto
watrie
places
,
yet
they
feed
,
for
the
most
part
,
of
that
which
the
drie
land
yeeldeth
,
and
not
of
things
affoorded
by
the
water
,
for
they
liue
and
feed
vpon
Corne
as
doe
the
wild
Geese
.
There
is
no
cause
why
you
should
make
any
great
account
of
the
Crane
:
for
although
hee
stay
a
certaine
time
with
you
,
yet
hee
layeth
not
anie
moe
than
two
egges
all
the
yeare
long
.
Wherefore
if
you
be
willing
to
keepe
of
them
,
you
may
doe
it
rather
to
please
your
sight
withall
,
than
for
anie
hope
of
encrease
,
for
they
neither
lay
nor
sit
anie
moe
than
two
egges
.
And
further
,
their
flesh
is
of
a
verie
hard
digestion
,
especially
if
it
be
new
killed
:
but
if
you
will
eat
it
,
stay
some
time
after
the
taking
of
them
,
and
hang
them
vpon
the
arme
of
some
Figge-tree
,
that
they
may
grow
tenderer
:
Also
eate
them
rather
a
long
time
after
they
haue
beene
dressed
,
than
whiles
they
are
yet
warme
.
When
you
see
them
flye
aloft
in
the
Ayre
,
without
making
anie
noyse
,
then
looke
for
faire
weather
:
but
and
if
you
see
them
rest
themselues
vpon
the
ground
,
be
ye
assured
that
it
will
be
raine
.
If
your
Farme
be
neere
vnto
marishes
and
places
,
where
Snakes
,
Lizards
,
Adders
,
and
other
such
like
Beasts
abound
;
you
may
set
vp
some
small
Spire
or
Turret
about
your
house
,
or
plant
vpon
some
piece
of
high
mounted
ground
some
well-spread
Tree
,
Storkes
.
of
a
great
height
,
for
the
alluring
of
Storkes
to
the
same
,
that
they
may
helpe
to
free
your
house
of
those
said
venimous
beasts
,
for
they
will
kill
them
to
feed
their
young
ones
therewith
.
But
yet
perswade
not
your selfe
,
that
you
can
easily
draw
and
allure
them
,
nor
yet
retaine
and
keepe
them
,
Summer
being
once
passed
;
for
vpon
Winters
returne
they
will
be
packing
into
another
Countrey
.
Notwithstanding
,
there
are
some
,
which
not
hauing
beene
disturbed
in
the
time
of
their
ayring
and
bringing
vp
of
their
young
ones
,
doe
euerie
yeare
repayre
to
their
wonted
ayres
,
and
that
by
a
long
●light
out
of
a
farre
Countrey
,
and
doe
ayre
and
neast
themselues
willingly
also
in
the
tops
of
high
Towers
,
not
frequented
,
as
iudging
the
place
to
be
such
as
will
not
suffer
any
man
to
doe
them
annoyance
.
And
in
the
meane
time
you
need
not
take
any
care
of
their
Neast
,
laying
,
sitting
,
or
feeding
,
for
they
be
birds
carefull
ynough
of
themselues
,
and
not
needing
the
help●
of
any
other
,
and
which
doe
come
and
goe
in
such
sort
as
one
cannot
perceiue
them
;
in
such
sort
,
as
that
we
may
rather
see
them
when
they
be
commen
,
than
foresee
their
comming
,
for
as
much
as
their
comming
and
going
is
in
the
night
.
Some
doe
thinke
that
they
haue
no
tongue
;
make
no
account
of
them
for
to
eat
them
,
seeing
they
are
of
a
verie
euill
iuice
and
venimous
feeding
:
and
yet
this
good
is
in
them
,
that
hee
which
shall
haue
eaten
of
a
Storke
,
shall
not
haue
his
eyes
bleared
or
running
all
that
yeare
.
It
is
obserued
in
this
bird
,
that
the
young
doe
feed
the
old
that
breed
them
,
when
they
cannot
flye
any
more
,
nor
get
their
prey
.
CHAP.

Of
Feasants
.
IT
is
a
point
of
great
curiositie
to
keepe
Feasants
,
Hennes
of
Numidia
.
which
Columella
calleth
Hennes
of
Numidia
:
but
he
that
can
do
it
,
hath
both
pleasure
and
profit
;
and
he
must
be
such
a
one
as
almost
doth
nothing
else
:
for
this
bird
is
chargeable
to
maintaine
;
she
will
haue
her
house
by
her selfe
,
raised
high
,
and
leaning
to
the
inclosure
or
wall
of
the
Court
,
and
long
also
,
that
her
troughes
may
be
in
the
ayre
,
and
where
the
Sunne
giueth
.
And
euerie
seuerall
bird
must
haue
her
owne
roome
:
and
yet
there
must
be
but
one
dore
vnto
their
Henne-house
for
the
cleansing
thereof
and
giuing
of
them
meat
.
The
rest
of
their
house
shall
be
all
open
vpon
the
fore-part
,
and
yet
in
such
sort
,
as
that
it
shall
be
sure
and
fast
,
by
being
thick
latted
,
and
of
clouen
boords
,
about
the
height
of
a
fadome
below
,
and
verie
well
couered
aboue
.
Feasant
Cocks
and
Hennes
are
hard
to
tame
,
Feasant
Cocks
and
Hennes
not
so
●asie
to
make
tame
.
if
they
be
not
so
hatched
,
or
else
taken
within
the
yeare
:
for
the
elder
sort
grow
sullen
and
malecontented
,
and
doe
accord
and
buckle
themselues
either
to
lay
or
sit
.
And
as
for
the
young
,
they
must
be
gently
handled
,
vntill
they
be
well
trained
,
and
can
easily
be
content
with
and
apply
themselues
to
the
enduring
of
a
constrained
ayre
,
and
that
such
a
one
as
is
not
like
to
that
where
they
were
taken
.
There
must
be
one
Cocke
to
euerie
two
Hennes
.
The
Henne
hath
but
one
season
wherein
she
vseth
to
lay
,
and
that
is
March
,
at
which
time
she
beginneth
and
so
continueth
vntill
she
haue
orderly
layd
twentie
,
and
after
she
fitteth
them
all
together
,
or
else
fifteene
of
her
owne
,
and
some
others
of
another
kind
,
if
you
put
them
vnder
her
:
and
she
sitteth
thirtie
dayes
;
and
in
the
time
of
her
sitting
,
you
must
vse
her
with
the
like
diligence
that
you
doe
the
Henne
:
but
this
must
be
all
within
her
owne
house
.
The
young
ones
being
hatched
,
shall
be
fed
with
flower
of
Barly
boyled
and
cooled
,
and
afterward
with
the
flower
of
Wheat
:
and
sometimes
you
shall
mix
herewith
,
or
else
giue
them
by
themselues
,
some
Gras-hoppers
and
egges
of
Ants
:
and
you
must
oftentimes
giue
them
fresh
water
,
and
cleane
,
for
they
are
subiect
to
the
same
diseases
that
the
Henne
is
.
Men
of
old
time
were
wont
to
fat
their
Feasant
Cockes
and
Hennes
for
Feastiuall
dayes
,
To
fat
Feasant
Cocks
and
Hennes
.
or
Banquets
and
Feasts
onely
,
and
not
for
brood
,
and
gaue
vnto
them
the
first
day
honied
water
and
strong
wine
,
to
cause
them
to
forget
their
naturall
place
:
after
that
,
of
the
flower
of
Barly
tempered
with
water
,
of
ground
Beanes
,
and
of
cleane
Barly
,
of
whole
Millet
,
of
Turnep
seed
,
and
Linseed
boyled
and
dryed
,
mixt
with
the
flower
of
Barly
:
and
for
to
heat
and
cleanse
their
stomackes
,
they
gaue
them
Mustard
seed
for
fiue
dayes
,
and
so
fatted
them
vp
in
their
Cowpes
for
threescore
dayes
.
This
is
the
thing
that
diuers
Cookes
of
Paris
,
with
certaine
other
rich
Victuallers
,
doe
know
verie
well
to
doe
:
and
they
must
(
as
saith
Columella
)
giue
them
their
●eat
to
eat
,
to
the
end
they
may
be
fat
when
they
are
vsed
in
Banquets
:
for
but
few
of
these
wild
Feasant
Hennes
doe
giue
themselues
to
lay
and
beare
the
yoake
of
ser●itude
both
together

CHAP.
XIX
.
Of
Peacockes
.
THe
Peacocke
is
a
bird
of
more
beautifull
feathers
than
any
other
that
is
:
he
is
quickly
angrie
,
but
he
is
as
farre
off
from
taking
good
hold
with
his
feet
:
he
is
goodly
to
behold
,
verie
good
to
eat
,
and
serueth
as
a
watch
in
the
inner
court
;
for
that
hee
spying
strangers
to
come
into
the
lodging
,
he
fayleth
not
to
crie
out
and
to
aduertise
them
of
the
house
.
It
is
true
that
he
is
not
kept
with
a
little
cost
and
meat
,
being
a
great
eater
,
and
quickly
digesting
his
meat
:
noysome
to
the
house
,
for
that
he
spoyleth
the
Gardens
,
if
there
be
not
some
little
Medow
ground
for
him
to
frequent
:
hee
breaketh
the
roofe
and
high
place
of
the
house
:
And
the
Cocke
being
ouer-ranke
by
nature
,
doth
breake
the
Hennes
egges
,
thereby
to
keepe
her
from
sitting
,
that
so
he
may
the
more
freely
enioy
and
vse
her
.
The
Cocke
liueth
a
long
time
,
as
from
twentie
to
fiue
and
twentie
yeares
,
but
the
Henne
somewhat
lesse
,
both
the
one
and
the
other
somewhat
troublesome
to
reare
and
bring
vp
whiles
they
be
young
,
but
they
need
not
to
haue
any
great
care
taken
of
them
after
they
haue
once
left
the
dam
,
except
it
be
in
keeping
them
from
hurting
the
Corne.
They
loue
a
hot
and
temperate
ayre
,
and
that
is
the
cause
that
they
are
not
brought
vp
in
manie
Countries
of
France
,
but
with
much
adoe
.
The
place
where
they
most
abound
in
all
the
Countrey
,
is
toward
Lisieux
in
Normandie
,
for
from
thence
there
come
great
numbers
to
Paris
,
for
great
and
sumptuous
Banquets
and
Marriages
:
There
they
make
them
fat
with
the
drosse
of
Cyder
and
Perrie
.
People
of
old
and
auncient
time
did
cast
Islets
on
the
backside
of
their
Gardens
,
The
Peacock●
walke
.
onely
for
Peacocks
,
and
there
set
vp
some
little
shed
for
them
at
their
pleasure
to
repaire
vnto
,
and
another
for
the
partie
that
should
feed
them
.
And
in
Italie
vnto
this
day
they
vse
,
in
places
neere
vnto
the
Sea
shore
,
to
bring
vp
Peacocks
in
Islets
somewhat
neere
vnto
the
Sea
,
that
so
they
may
preuent
such
harme
as
the
Foxe
might
otherwise
doe
them
;
which
was
also
the
drift
why
our
auncient
predecessors
tooke
the
same
course
:
but
wee
▪
which
make
not
so
great
account
of
them
,
are
content
to
keepe
them
in
some
roome
ouer
the
Hennes
,
euen
in
the
highest
part
of
the
Henne-house
,
for
they
loue
to
rowst
on
high
,
and
in
an
open
ayre
,
sitting
verie
often
for
that
cause
vpon
trees
,
but
wee
prouide
them
some
place
below
whither
to
repaire
in
the
day
time
.
This
place
must
be
kept
verie
cleane
,
and
looked
diligently
vnto
,
euen
as
the
Henne-house
,
The
diseases
of
Peacocks
.
for
this
bird
is
subiect
vnto
the
same
inconueniences
and
diseases
that
Hennes
be
,
and
must
haue
the
same
remedies
administred
vnto
them
.
The
place
of
their
abode
and
haunt
must
be
strewed
with
Straw
,
or
greene
Grasse
,
The
nature
of
Pea-hennes
.
for
the
Hennes
doe
lay
but
seldome
,
sitting
downe
low
,
as
is
manifest
,
in
that
her
egges
are
found
oftentimes
dropt
downe
from
her
vnder
the
Pearch
:
and
this
happeneth
by
their
falling
from
her
as
shee
is
asleepe
.
These
birds
bring
foorth
verie
well
after
they
be
three
yeares
old
;
but
before
nothing
,
or
verie
little
.
The
Pea-henne
hath
three
seuerall
times
or
seasons
of
laying
in
the
yeare
:
The
sitting
of
the
Pea-henne
.
but
she
that
is
set
,
hath
but
one
,
and
passeth
ouer
her
other
times
in
hatching
and
leading
of
her
young
ones
.
She
beginneth
her
first
laying
time
at
mid
Februarie
,
and
layeth
fiue
egges
one
after
another
:
at
the
second
,
she
layeth
foure
or
three
:
and
at
the
third
,
three
or
two
.
If
the
Cock
and
the
Henne
tread
not
,
you
must
bring
them
to
it
by
such
food
and
meat
as
wil
set
them
in
heat
,
as
with
Beans
rosted
in
hot
ashes
.
And
to
know
when
the
Cocke
is
in
the
pride
or
heat
,
you
need
no
other
signe
than
his
viewing
of
himselfe
,
and
couering
of
his
whole
bodie
with
the
feathers
of
his
tayle
,
and
then
we
say
he
wheeleth
.
When
the
Pea-henne
sitteth
,
A
Peacock
of
a
white
colour
.
she
withdraweth
and
hideth
herselfe
from
the
Cock
in
the
most
secret
place
she
possibly
can
;
for
he
ceaseth
not
to
seeke
her
,
by
reason
of
his
excessiue
rankenesse
and
lustinesse
of
nature
:
and
if
he
find
her
,
he
beateth
her
,
to
cause
her
to
rise
from
off
her
egges
,
and
then
breaketh
them
.
If
while
shee
●itteth
,
shee
be
couered
with
a
white
Linnen
cloth
,
shee
will
bring
forth
Chickens
all
white
,
and
not
of
the
colour
of
the
Vine
bud
.
And
to
that
end
you
may
shut
her
vp
in
Cowpes
or
Houses
ouer-layd
or
garnished
with
some
white
Cloth
or
Paintrie
,
to
the
end
that
whatsoeuer
shee
looketh
vpon
while
shee
sitteth
,
may
be
of
a
white
colour
.
At
the
end
of
thirtie
dayes
,
when
the
young
ones
are
hatched
,
and
the
Henne
diligently
fed
in
the
place
where
shee
did
sit
them
(
as
wee
haue
said
of
the
Henne
)
she
must
be
put
vnder
a
Cowpe
in
some
place
where
the
Cocke
cannot
come
;
for
hee
hateth
and
hurteth
his
young
ones
,
vntill
they
be
growne
to
haue
a
coppell
vpon
their
heads
:
and
at
such
time
as
this
is
growing
out
of
them
,
they
must
be
kept
verie
warme
,
for
then
they
be
verie
sicke
,
and
for
the
most
part
die
.
You
must
feed
the
young
ones
the
first
day
with
Barly
meale
tempered
with
wine
in
manner
of
thicke
pottage
:
The
feeding
of
yong
Peacocks
.
and
for
the
thickening
of
it
,
some
put
thereto
soft
Cheese
,
well
kneaded
,
pressed
,
and
purged
from
Whay
,
for
Whay
will
hurt
them
greatly
.
Sometimes
they
must
haue
Grashoppers
giuen
them
,
their
feet
pluckt
away
,
Weesels
,
Spiders
,
and
Flies
for
their
Physicke
;
for
they
driue
away
vermine
na●rally
,
so
that
there
is
scarce
any
found
where
they
haunt
.
After
six
moneths
they
eat
boyled
Barly
as
the
dam
doth
,
and
are
suffered
to
runne
abroad
:
but
euen
then
they
must
be
kept
from
cold
and
raine
,
for
they
chirpe
and
hang
the
wing
by
and
by
,
especially
in
this
Countrey
,
where
they
are
hard
to
bring
vp
,
if
they
be
not
hatched
by
mid
Iune
:
for
when
Autumne
doth
find
them
verie
young
,
they
doe
neuer
hold
out
Winter
.
They
which
will
haue
the
Pea-hennes
to
hold
their
three
seuerall
times
of
laying
,
The
laying
of
Pea-hennes
.
must
set
their
first
egges
vnder
Hennes
that
are
great
,
well
gouerned
,
and
old
,
and
that
in
the
beginning
of
the
growth
of
the
Moone
,
that
so
the
Pea-hennes
may
hold
on
their
seuerall
courses
of
laying
.
And
as
wee
haue
alreadie
said
in
the
feeding
of
Hennes
,
there
must
be
put
vnder
the
Hennes
some
fiue
of
the
Pea-hennes
,
and
nine
of
her
owne
:
after
the
tenth
day
,
the
nine
Henne
egges
shall
be
taken
away
,
and
other
nine
put
in
their
place
;
by
this
meanes
you
shall
find
,
by
the
end
of
thirtie
daies
,
that
all
will
be
hatched
together
:
And
thus
you
shall
vse
manie
Hennes
at
one
and
the
same
time
.
And
seeing
the
Pea-hennes
egge
,
for
the
greatnesse
of
it
,
cannot
be
well
turned
by
the
Henne
,
you
shall
turne
it
your selfe
verie
softly
at
such
time
as
the
Henne
is
a
feeding
,
and
marke
with
ynke
the
place
you
leaue
vppermost
,
that
so
you
may
know
thereby
whether
the
Henne
doe
turne
them
,
or
no
,
for
else
you
might
possibly
lose
your
time
and
labour
:
and
when
all
are
hatched
,
giue
all
the
Chickens
to
one
onely
Henne
,
and
the
young
Pea-chickens
to
a
Pea-henne
,
and
see
that
the
Henne
leading
her
brood
,
do
not
haunt
where
the
Pea-henne
and
her
Chickens
do
come
,
for
so
she
would
leaue
her
owne
,

The

They
are
verie
hot
in

so
that
then
you
must
not
let
them
want

coole

and
euerie

would
haue
fiue

six

for
he

to
make

you

your

hang

else
tye
him

Of

of

,
Indian
Hennes

coffers
to
burie
Oats
in
.
lately
discouered
by
the
Spaniards
and
Portugalls
,
whether
wee
call
them
Cockes
or
Peacockes
of
India
;
hath
more
fitted
and
prouided
for
the
tooth
than
for
any
profit
:
For
they
may
rightly
be
tearmed
Cofers
to
cast
Oates
into
,
a
deuouring
gulfe
of
meat
,
and
wherein
there
is
no
other
pleasure
to
be
taken
,
but
onely
in
their
crie
and
furiousnesse
,
when
they
are
come
to
be
great
ones
;
or
continually
chirping
whiles
they
be
little
:
besides
that
,
both
the
one
and
the
other
are
ill-fauoured
and
ougly
to
behold
,
for
the
deformitie
of
their
heads
;
for
the
male
hath
no
combe
,
as
our
Cockes
,
but
in
stead
thereof
a
red
fleshinesse
,
and
vnder
his
chinne
a
great
wide
and
long
throat
,
which
swelleth
and
changeth
into
manie
colours
when
he
beginneth
to
be
angrie
.
That
a
Peacock
is
better
meat
than
a
Turkies
.
It
is
very
true
,
that
his
flesh
is
fine
and
delicate
,
but
without
taste
,
and
of
hard
digestion
:
And
this
is
the
cause
why
men
vse
to
powder
them
,
larde
them
much
,
and
season
them
with
Spices
.
There
is
much
more
pleasure
and
goodnesse
in
the
flesh
of
a
Peacocke
.
The
meat
fit
for
this
kind
of
Bird
,
What
meat
is
fit
for
Turkies
.
is
the
same
that
is
good
for
Hennes
,
and
so
made
,
and
with
like
diligence
:
and
because
his
propertie
is
to
be
abroad
,
to
feede
vpon
Grasse
,
Wormes
,
and
Hearbes
,
therefore
it
remaineth
that
wee
set
downe
what
is
required
ouer
and
aboue
:
And
the
Farmer
may
well
say
,
That
looke
how
manie
Turkies
he
hath
in
his
yard
,
euen
so
manie
Mule
Colts
hath
he
in
respect
of
their
feeding
.
Their
ordering
is
lesse
troublesome
that
of
the
Peacockes
,
saue
that
they
doe
not
so
well
endure
and
abide
the
cold
,
neither
doe
they
require
to
be
pearched
so
high
in
the
open
ayre
:
but
they
eat
vp
and
make
great
wast
in
Gardens
,
and
are
filthie
as
Goslings
,
and
therefore
some
must
be
readie
to
make
them
cleane
euerie
day
.
In
Winter
they
must
be
set
in
a
warme
place
,
and
drie
:
their
pearch
must
not
be
aboue
eight
or
tenne
foot
from
the
earth
,
because
they
doe
not
flye
high
.
As
concerning
their
laying
and
sitting
,
The
times
wherein
Turkies
doe
lay
.
it
is
altogether
like
to
that
of
the
Peacockes
,
and
their
egges
may
as
well
be
set
vnder
Hennes
,
and
ledde
afterward
by
the
same
,
whiles
the
Turkie
Hennes
doe
accomplish
their
seuerall
times
of
laying
.
Their
diseases
and
remedies
are
also
all
alike
,
The
diseases
of
Turkies
.
so
that
it
were
in
vaine
to
speake
of
them
here
againe
.
The
Huswife
shall
not
make
anie
great
account
of
Turkie
egges
;
Turkie
egges
.
at
least
,
hee
that
loueth
his
health
,
shall
not
esteeme
of
them
for
to
vse
them
:
for
Physitions
hold
,
that
egges
of
Turkies
engender
grauell
,
and
minister

to

.
Of
Turtle
doues
,
Partridges
,
Quailes
,
Stock-doues
,
and
Thrushes
.
THe
place
to
put
these
kindes
of
Birds
in
(
seruing
rather
for
food
and
pleasure
than
for
breeding
)
shall
be
ordered
after
the
manner
of
the
Feasant-house
,
that
is
,
after
the
manner
of
a
great
Cowpe
,
so
leaning
against
the
wall
of
the
back-yard
,
and
open
toward
the
light
,
wouen
and
wrought
with
the
strings
of
a
small
Bow
,
put
through
wood
,
after
the
manner
of
Bird-cages
,
with
a
dore
of
the
same
:
And
within
,
especially
toward
the
corners
,
there
shall
be
great
store
of
Perches
,
and
branches
of
boughes
of
Iuniper
,
Bayes
,
and
other
trees
,
within
which
there
shall
be
tyed
against
the
said
wall
small
baskets
to
allure
them
to
lay
and
sit
in
,
if
so
be
they
haue
any
inclination
thereunto
.
It
shall
be
of
the
height
of
a
man
:
and
ouerthwart
,
and
euerie
way
,
you
shall
hang
Perches
,
stayed
vp
at
both
ends
,
for
seats
for
them
to
sit
vpon
;
and
vnder
their
Perches
much
fresh
straw
,
which
you
must
often
renew
when
you
make
them
cleane
.
On
that
side
towards
the
light
,
all
along
their
house
,
you
shall
weaue
and
worke
in
two
boords
of
a
good
length
,
and
a
third
vnderneath
them
,
and
there
shall
you
make
places
for
the●
to
eat
their
meat
,
and
to
set
their
water-pots
for
them
to
drinke
,
which
you
shall
refresh
and
make
cleane
verie
often
.
These
birds
are
all
of
them
such
as
vse
to
got
together
in
flockes
,
and
delight
in
hot
ayre
,
and
in
cold
weather
flye
ouer
the
Sea
out
of
one
Countrey
into
another
.
And
therefore
to
tame
them
in
such
manner
,
as
to
make
them
like
our
house-birds
,
would
be
a
verie
hard
and
difficult
thing
:
And
againe
,
wee
make
no
further
account
of
them
than
for
their
daintinesse
and
delicatenesse
;
which
is
the
cause
why
they
are
of
such
request
in
Feasts
and
Banquets
.
Of
all
these
fore-named
kinds
of
Birds
,
there
is
none
more
apt
to
tame
than
the
Turtle
doues
,
Turtle
doues
.
neither
yet
sooner
fatted
:
for
to
take
them
after
they
be
somewhat
great
,
and
slie
well
,
you
must
giue
them
wine
,
for
by
the
means
of
it
they
doe
quickly
fall
to
forget
their
libertie
and
freedome
;
for
this
bird
is
of
a
great
stomacke
,
and
beareth
it
therefore
verie
mournefully
,
when
shee
perceiueth
her selfe
taken
:
for
which
cause
also
they
almost
neuer
lay
when
they
be
restrained
and
kept
in
,
neithe●
yet
seed
fat
in
Winter
;
quite
contrarie
to
Thrushes
:
They
feed
vpon
Barly
,
F●●ches
,
and
almost
all
other
kind
of
graine
:
they
desire
faire
and
cleare
water
,
and
often
renewed
,
What
meat
Turtles
feed
vpon
.
and
a
large
water-pot
,
that
they
may
bath
themselues
therein
sometime
Especially
they
loue
Millet
and
Pannickle
,
and
make
no
lesse
account
of
Wheat
,
of
which
sorts
of
Corne
a
bushell
will
satisfie
six
score
Birds
:
And
you
must
not
forget
Grauell
,
which
must
be
layd
by
their
water-pots
for
to
be
their
physicke
,
and
some
also
in
some
of
the
corners
of
the
house
,
for
them
to
scratch
in
.
If
they
hang
the
wing
,
The
diseases
of
Turtle
doues
.
and
st●rre
not
out
of
their
Basket
,
you
must
take
them
and
looke
to
the●
billes
,
whether
they
haue
the
Pip
,
or
no
;
and
,
if
need
be
,
to
take
it
from
them
:
and
●o
their
feet
,
to
s●e
if
their
owne
dung
make
them
not
that
they
cannot
stirre
:
or
vnder
their
wings
for
vermine
;
and
in
all
other
places
to
cure
them
,
as
hath
beene
said
of
Hennes
.
The
bloud
of
the
right
wing
of
a
Turtle
dropt
into
the
eye
,
is
excellen●
good
against
the
stripes
and
vlcers
of
the
eye
:
And
their
dung
is
good
against
spo●●
in
the
eyes
.
Stock-doues
Stock-doues
.
may
be
fatted
and
fed
after
the
verie
same
manner
,
but
they
are
greater
eaters
,
and
more
hard
to
tame
:
in
Winter
they
loue
a
sup
of
wine
,
and
doe
grow
verie
fat
,
so
also
doe
the
Turtles
.
Againe
you
must
take
heed
not
to
forget
your
Grauell
.
The
browne
or
Woodcocke-coloured
Partridge
is
more
easily
tamed
than
the
spotted
,
Partridges
of
browne
colour
,
and
spotted
.
or
any
other
sort
;
likewise
they
haue
not
so
delicate
and
fine
a
flesh
:
being
notwithstanding
well
fed
,
they
are
little
inferior
vnto
Feasants
:
and
you
must
handle
them
after
the
same
manner
,
and
giue
them
all
one
meat
,
but
that
Partridges
loue
●ow
and
then
to
eat
Corne
,
and
feed
vpon
greene
Grasse
.
The
male
Partridges
are
●erie
hot
,
and
the
Henne
doth
lay
a
great
sort
of
egges
:
The
Cocks
also
doe
beat
one
●nother
for
the
Hennes
,
vntill
the
one
hath
ouercome
the
other
;
and
he
that
ouer●ommeth
,
ouer-croweth
the
other
which
is
ouercome
,
and
maketh
him
follow
and
●ome
behind
him
,
after
the
manner
of
the
Hennes
.
The
Henne
Partridge
is
so
fruitfull
,
that
she
conceiueth
at
the
onely
voice
or
●light
,
or
breathing
of
the
Cocke
.
The
meat
that
they
most
delight
in
,
is
Millet
●nd
Pannicke
.
The
egges
of
Partridges
often
eaten
doe
bring
fruitfulnesse
vnto
barren
women
,
The
egges
of
Partridges
.
The
gall
of
a
Partridge
.
●nd
great
store
of
milke
vnto
Nurces
.
The
gall
of
a
Partridge
doth
cleare
the
sight
,
●nd
mixt
in
equall
quantitie
with
honey
,
doth
heale
the
bruises
of
the
eyes
:
the
bloud
●f
Partridges
hath
the
like
vertue
.
Quailes
Fierce
Quailes
.
(
being
birds
liuing
altogether
vpon
the
earth
rather
than
in
the
aire
)
doe
●ot
make
or
build
themselues
anie
Neasts
,
anie
more
than
all
other
birds
which
are
●eauie
,
and
cannot
so
well
flie
:
They
be
verie
fierce
,
and
in
that
respect
they
are
not
●ccustomed
to
haue
either
so
much
scope
or
light
as
other
birds
.
Likewise
wee
see
●hat
they
are
wont
to
haue
their
Coupe
couered
with
nets
or
skins
,
least
in
flying
vp
●n
high
,
and
rising
with
some
boisterousnesse
,
they
should
beat
themselues
to
death
.
Some
prouide
them
Meat-pots
and
Water-pots
apart
,
that
is
,
to
euerie
bird
his
owne
●rouision
and
diet
:
They
loue
greene
Corne
and
Wheat
,
and
Mustard
seed
is
their
●hiefe
and
principall
feeding
.
They
eat
in
those
Countries
whereinto
they
go
(
being
●lsewhere
than
in
this
our
Countrey
)
great
quantitie
of
Hellebore
.
And
this
is
the
●cause
why
Didimus
saith
,
that
their
flesh
is
laxatiue
,
and
that
it
doth
procure
the
turning
sicknesse
and
headach
,
that
it
causeth
the
falling
sicknesse
,
conuulsion
,
and
distension
of
the
Muscles
,
and
for
that
cause
that
they
ought
to
be
stuffed
with
Millet
,
or
boyled
therein
:
or
else
if
anie
should
find
themselues
ill
after
them
,
for
to
drinke
the
decoction
of
Millet
,
or
of
Mittle
tree
berries
:
and
it
will
be
good
also
to
giue
the
same
to
Quailes
to
eat
.
The
Cockes
are
nothing
lesse
hot
than
the
Partridge
:
The
Henne
so
soone
as
she
hath
layd
her
egges
,
sitteth
them
,
and
by
and
by
after
the
hath
hatched
her
young
ones
,
she
draweth
them
into
some
other
place
,
to
the
end
that
such
as
goe
about
to
take
them
,
may
not
find
their
place
:
They
be
birds
vsing
to
flocke
together
,
and
they
goe
away
at
Spring
time
,
and
returne
in
Winter
,
and
in
the
beginning
of
Autumne
.
Thrushes
are
not
naturally
breeding
in
this
Countrey
,
Thrushes
.
as
being
an
excessiue
cold
place
:
and
hardly
at
anie
time
doe
they
endure
this
aire
,
and
therefore
it
were
but
foolishnesse
to
goe
about
to
fat
them
here
.
This
bird
is
addicted
to
hot
Countries
,
as
also
to
such
places
as
where
there
are
great
store
of
Oliue
trees
:
for
they
doe
greatly
delight
in
Oliues
,
and
grow
fat
at
such
season
as
they
grow
ripe
.
It
is
a
bird
also
giuen
to
make
great
hauocke
and
spoyle
:
for
the
Thrushes
doe
poure
downe
themselues
vpon
the
Oliue
trees
in
great
flights
,
and
hauing
eaten
their
full
,
they
also
carrie
away
at
their
departure
one
in
their
bill
,
and
one
in
their
clawes
,
after
the
manner
of
men
of
Warre
.
They
are
found
also
and
made
fat
in
the
mountaine
and
hillie
Countries
,
but
it
is
in
Winter
time
:
for
they
gather
fat
,
and
fill
themselues
in
cold
weather
,
if
it
be
anie
whit
moderate
.
The
men
of
old
and
ancient
time
did
much
esteeme
them
,
Sous
.
and
sold
them
in
the
time
of
the
Romanes
for
tenne
Sous
a
peece
.
The
value
of
this
bird
in
times
past
,
and
yet
also
.
Thus
also
to
this
day
doe
the
Italians
and
Spaniards
;
and
in
this
our
owne
Countrey
,
those
of
Lyons
,
Prouence
,
and
Auuergnac
:
but
they
are
not
so
great
on
this
side
the
mountaines
,
as
they
are
beyond
.
This
bird
is
more
sullen
than
anie
of
the
afore
named
,
and
dieth
shortly
after
she
is
taken
,
if
she
be
carried
out
of
her
ordinarie
ayre
,
or
if
she
be
not
put
presently
amongst
other
old
tame
ones
:
They
must
haue
their
meat
cast
them
vpon
a
verie
cleane
floore
,
The
ordinarie
meat
for
Thrushes
.
and

Of
the
Doue-house
.
THe
profit
that
commeth
of
the
keeping
of
a
Doue-house
,
The
profit
of
a
Doue-house
.
is
nothing
lesse
than
that
of
the
keeping
of
a
Hen-house
;
especially
in
respect
of
the
selling
of
young
ones
,
and
others
,
which
euerie
yeare
increase
in●●merably
:
for
there
are
some
Farmers
which
sell
,
at
euerie
flight
,
two
hundred
and
three
hundred
paire
vnto
the
Victuallers
.
The
care
to
be
had
abo●●
them
is
not
so
great
as
that
about
other
birds
,
neither
the
cost
so
great
,
in
as
much
as
they
get
their
owne
liuings
the
most
part
of
the
yeare
,
and
in
that
they
lay
sixe
or
seuen
times
a
yeare
two
egges
a
peece
:
yea
,
and
oftener
and
greater
,
if
you
change
the
young
House-doues
Pigeons
with
those
of
the
Cote
,
after
that
they
be
once
eight
daies
old
,
to
the
end
they
may
accompanie
the
Cocke
Pigeons
which
goe
by
themselues
without
anie
Matches
:
but
this
must
be
done
so
cunningly
,
as
that
the
dams
doe
not
perceiue
it
.
It
is
true
,
that
this
bird
is
of
great
charges
,
and
w●steth
much
in
respect
of
grounds
:
and
for
this
cause
there
is
no
ground
Pigeon-house
allowed
,
but
to
such
as
be
Lords
in
see
simple
;
neither
yet
verie
oft
anie
Dofeu-houses
in
vpper
roomes
,
except
it
be
to
such
as
haue
a
competent
quantitie
of
arable
ground
.
Let
vs
then
prepare
to
our
good
liking
,
Where
a
ground
Doue-house
is
permitted
and
lawfull
to
be
had
.
and
for
the
ease
of
the
Huswife
,
a
ground
Doue-house
,
out
of
the
noise
of
folkes
,
the
dashing
of
Trees
one
against
another
,
and
the
roaring
of
Waters
,
and
let
it
be
set
in
a
place
somewhat
raised
:
or
else
let
vs
build
it
right
in
the
middest
of
the
base
Court
,
which
is
the
place
of
our
Countrey
house
,
before
in
this
Booke
appointed
,
and
that
after
the
fashion
of
a
stone
Tower
made
for
a
Wind-mill
,
or
somewhat
neerely
resembling
it
:
but
let
it
be
distant
:
flight
or
two
from
anie
water
,
to
the
end
that
the
old
Pigeon
may
warme
that
which
shee
bringeth
for
to
giue
to
her
young
ones
:
For
it
is
certaine
,
that
as
the
Pies
and
Sparrowes
,
the
male
and
the
female
Pies
and
Sparrowes
,
male
and
female
,
do
sit
.
doe
sit
by
courses
,
and
as
while
the
one
of
them
is
seeking
her
food
abroad
,
the
other
is
sitting
vpon
the
egges
;
so
doe
these
for
the
safetie
of
their
young
ones
,
vntill
such
time
as
they
be
out
of
their
holes
abroad
.
And
I
would
not
haue
you
to
vnderstand
,
that
the
Doue-house
should
onely
lie
open
vn●●
the
East
quarter
in
this
Countrey
,
but
that
it
take
part
also
of
the
South
,
because
this
bird
doth
greatly
delight
in
the
Sunne
,
beating
and
casting
his
beames
vpon
their
house
,
and
entring
in
at
their
windowes
and
loope-holes
,
or
higher
lights
,
especially
in
the
Winter
time
:
and
further
,
that
vpon
the
South
there
be
prouided
a
sh●●ting
and
opening
window
in
Winter
,
to
giue
some
heat
vnto
the
Pigeons
.
There
must
not
anie
window
be
made
vpon
the
North
side
:
A
dore
window
.
or
if
there
be
anie
,
for
to
let
in
the
coole
aire
in
Summer
,
yet
it
must
be
verie
close
stopt
vp
while
the
cold
endureth
.
Let
the
South
window
be
turned
toward
the
Barne
dore
:
and
by
the
side
of
the
said
dote
let
there
be
a
Water-pot
set
vpon
a
pillar
of
stone
for
the
Pigeons
to
drinke
at
,
and
let
that
Water-pot
be
made
in
manner
of
a
basen
,
diuided
into
manie
partitions
to
drinke
at
,
to
the
end
,
that
when
the
Pigeons
haue
pickt
vp
the
Corne
scattered
from
the
Fanne
,
or
striked
abroad
by
the
Flaile
,
they
may
haue
their
water
neere
and
easie
for
manie
to
come
by
together
,
either
to
drinke
or
bathe
themselues
in
.
And
you
must
procure
and
see
that
this
Doue-house
be
built
and
layd
with
a
good
and
broad
foundation
,
well
couered
,
and
the
floore
close
beaten
and
loamed
ouer
,
to
preuent
the
danger
of
the
dung
,
which
doth
vndermine
and
corrupt
the
foundation
.
It
must
also
be
well
and
close
layd
and
drawne
ouer
with
Morta●
within
,
Beasts
to
be
kept
out
of
Doue-houses
.
and
the
ehinkers
or
clefts
which
may
grow
must
oftentimes
be
searched
out
and
stopt
,
for
feare
of
Rats
or
Mice
,
which
is
a
mischiefe
often
happening
where
there
is
not
anie
plaister
to
come
by
:
and
it
must
also
be
drawne
ouer
in
like
manner
on
the
outside
,
for
the
crackes
that
happen
in
Lime
and
Sand
are
in
stead
of
ladders
for
Fulmers
,
Weasels
,
Cats
,
and
other
beasts
to
climbe
vp
by
.
And
for
the
verie
same
cause
you
shall
make
round
about
the
Doue-house
,
on
the
outside
,
two
out-casts
of
hewed
stone
,
or
round
rings
of
plaister
,
as
broad
as
three
or
foure
chesse
of
stones
:
the
one
of
these
rings
or
out-laies
shall
be
about
the
middest
of
the
Doue-house
;
and
the
other
close
vnder
the
window
,
at
which
the
Pigeons
vse
to
goe
in
,
&
vpon
which
the
Pigeon
also
may
sport
and
turne
her selfe
round
.
As
concerning
the
falling
window
and
chiefe
entrance
into
it
,
it
must
be
made
higher
than
the
dor-window
,
and
larger
also
:
And
yet
I
meane
,
that
this
window
without
be
round
compassed
with
white
plates
well
nailed
to
the
walls
,
A
draw
lattice
window
.
and
that
is
shut
with
a
falling
lattice
thicke
wrought
,
made
to
rise
and
fall
by
an
engine
euening
and
morning
,
thereby
to
preuent
the
danger
of
Owles
and
Iennie
whuppers
.
The
holes
made
of
earth
troden
with
straw
,
are
more
kind
for
the
Pigeon
than
those
of
Boord
,
or
square
Tyles
,
or
of
Plaister
,
howsoeuer
they
be
subiect
to
grow
full
of
chinkers
and
vermine
,
which
infeeble
the
Pigeons
when
at
anie
time
they
seize
vpon
them
:
And
therefore
,
if
you
will
haue
them
good
,
you
must
draw
them
ouer
with
a
strong
crust
of
Lime
within
and
without
.
Againe
,
howsoeuer
you
make
them
for
matter
,
yet
they
must
be
made
so
large
,
as
that
the
Pigeon
may
turne
her selfe
in
them
,
keeping
her
feathers
vnruffled
;
and
so
high
,
as
that
the
Pigeon
may
stand
vpright
in
it
,
and
not
touch
the
top
with
her
back
.
If
either
of
these
two
points
be
missing
,
then
she
leaueth
her
hole
desolate
and
forsaken
,
and
oftentimes
the
house
to
.
It
will
be
good
also
,
in
respect
of
some
beasts
which
are
enemies
vnto
Pigeons
,
to
hang
in
the
Doue-house
the
head
of
a
Wolfe
,
which
partly
by
the
smell
,
and
partly
by
the
shape
,
driueth
away
such
beasts
:
or
else
to
sticke
some
branches
of
Rue
in
the
windowes
or
dores
of
the
Doue-house
.
Vpon
the
pinnacle
of
the
●oofe
make
the
picture
of
a
Pigeon
,
either
of
Potters
clay
,
or
of
Plaister
,
to
draw
such
as
flie
by
,
thither
.
Prouide
in
some
place
about
your
Doue-house
good
store
of
Pots
for
Sparrowes
,
with
stickes
of
thorne
to
hang
the
Pots
on
,
and
others
to
rest
the
Sparrowes
vpon
:
and
withall
,
beware
that
this
mournefull
birds
doe
not
take
vp
his
habitation
in
your
Dout-house
,
for
hee
would
make
wild
and
estrange
your
young
Pigeons
.
To
store
a
Doue-house
,
To
store
a
Doue-house
.
you
must
first
consider
the
contents
of
it
,
as
whether
it
be
made
to
containe
manie
,
or
but
a
meane
sort
,
or
but
a
few
,
and
so
to
put
therein
an
answerable
number
of
Pigeons
:
Twentie
paire
of
Pigeons
are
ynough
for
three
hundred
holes
:
Likewise
if
the
Doue-house
be
of
a
thousand
holes
,
or
moe
,
then
so
small
a
companie
would
not
be
ynough
;
neither
indeed
would
they
loue
it
,
they
being
of
so
small
a
number
,
but
would
goe
away
or
die
in
the
end
.
The
Pigeons
wherewith
you
mind
to
store
your
Doue-house
must
be
young
ones
,
taken
when
they
are
halfe
downe
and
halfe
feathered
,
together
with
the
old
ones
their
dams
,
and
so
put
at
libertie
in
your
Doue-house
,
or
rather
in
great
Cowpes
,
and
cause
them
to
be
fed
with
Fetches
and
water
with
some
skilfull
handler
of
Pigeons
twice
a
day
,
so
long
as
till
they
become
to
eat
and
drinke
by
themselues
:
for
by
this
meanes
they
will
soone
haue
forgotten
both
their
old
house
,
as
also
the
old
ones
,
and
so
will
yeeld
themselues
willingly
to
tarrie
in
such
Doue-house
,
as
wherein
you
will
first
lodge
and
put
them
;
which
the
old
ones
would
not
doe
:
for
being
translated
from
another
place
,
they
would
find
out
the
way
to
take
their
flight
directly
to
their
former
and
first
home
,
so
soone
as
you
had
made
them
way
to
get
forth
,
how
farre
soeuer
they
had
beene
brought
.
The
Pigeons
good
to
encrease
store
,
are
the
ash
,
browne
,
and
blacke
coloured
;
the
rough-footed
or
coppild
ones
are
too
mournefull
,
and
keeping
too
much
at
home
:
so
in
like
manner
are
they
which
are
of
colour
like
to
a
Snailes
bellie
;
the
pie-coloured
ones
and
the
hooded
ones
,
those
which
glister
like
gold
about
their
neckes
,
and
haue
their
eyes
and
feet
red
,
are
the
freest
of
all
other
.
The
white
are
strong
to
bring
vp
,
but
most
subiect
to
the
Kite
and
other
rauenous
birds
,
because
they
are
verie
easily
perceiued
as
they
flye
by
a
farre
off
.
You
must
make
your
choice
of
the
May
flight
,
because
there
is
no
such
feare
of
them
for
the
cold
:
They
grow
more
easily
,
and
thriue
better
,
and
are
sooner
able
to
get
their
owne
meat
.
Aboue
all
things
,
let
them
not
be
pinched
of
their
meat
in
the
moneths
of
Aprill
and

,
because
the

to
the
end
that

:
About

you
shall

taking

and
yet
not
before

,
the
time
being
cloudie

:
for
they
will
not
goe
farre
from
the
place
of
their
late
inlargement
,
neither
will
or
can
they
possibly
but
returne
vnto
the
Doue-house
,
if
it
were
but
to
hide
their
heads
that
night
:
In
doing
whereof
,
they
will
learne
to
marke
the
place
of
their
receit
,
and
not
forsake

leaue
the

,

neuer

they

:
And
further
,
by
the
verie

they

bee

which
for
the

they

You
shall

bath

to

,
To
draw

that
they
will
draw
diuers

from

,
insomuch

as
that
your
twentie

in
fortie

will
haue
stored
your

with
twice

yea

;
for
they
bring
forth

foure

:
and
you
shall
not
need
to

for
anie

but
to
keepe
the
Doue-house
cleane
.
And
for
this
cause
it
behooueth
him
that
hath
the
charge
of
the
Doue-house
to
goe
into
it
once
a

at

,
and
that
in

at

times

when
as
the
Pigeons
are
in
seeking
their
meat
,
and
abroad
in

Countrey
thereabout
:
for
seeing
that
they
doe
ordinarily
keepe
their
noone-tide
in
the
Doue-house
,
if
he
should
enter
in
at
that
houre
,
he
should
make
wild
and
estrange
the
young
ones
,
yea
the
old
ones
themselues
.
In
going
in
,
he
shall
whistl●

,
and
cast
them
something
to
eat
,
to
the
end
they
may
be
accustomed
with
him
,

acknowledge
him
?
Hee
shall
emptie
and
fill
vp
againe
their
Water-pot
with
●leare
water
,
he
shall
pare
the
floore
,
he
shall
cast
out
such
as
he
shall
find
dead
:
he
●hall
make
cleane
the
holes
,
to
the
end
that
they
may
not
gather
anie
Fleas
,
Lice
,
Punies
,
or
Mothes
:
especially
in
Summer
he
shall
not
put
vp
againe
into
their
holes
●uch
as
may
be
fallen
out
:
he
shall
cull
out
the
barren
,
that
he
may
put
them
in
some
●lace
by
themselues
,
that
so
he
may
fat
them
,
and
afterward
either
eat
or
sell
them
:
And
if
he
perceiue
the
traine
of
anie
Snake
or
Adder
,
he
shall
set
a
long
earthen
pot
vpon
the
tayle
or
bottome
,
and
shall
put
within
it
a
Pigeon
,
and
plaeing
it
right
in
●he
trade
and
walke
of
the
Adder
,
he
shall
set
by
it
some
kind
of
little
foot-pace
,
or
●uch
other
thing
,
whereby
shee
may
creepe
vp
vnto
the
top
of
the
pot
,
and
cast
her
●elfe
in
afterward
;
for
the
Adder
cannot
come
forth
againe
:
and
so
you
shall
cleanse
●nd
rid
the
Doue-house

It
is
true

that

doe
require
some

Of
the
Neat-heard
.
NOtwithstanding
that
wee
haue
yeelded
and
giuen
the
ordering
of
the
Kine
vnto
the
Huswife
,
and
that
Oxen
are
to
be
kept
and
ordered
in
their
meat
after
the
same
manner
:
notwithstanding
,
in
Countries
,
and
about
such
Farmes
,
as
where
they
are
kept
for
the
Plough
and
sale
,
there
●s
prouided
a
man
,
which
hath
no
other
charge
but
to
thinke
vpon
and
order
them
,
obserued
and
noted
that
he
hath
almost
as
much
pains
and
labour
to
take
about
these
as
about
a
Horse
.
It
is
true
,
that
a
Cow
is
not
of
so
great
charge
to
maintaine
and
keepe
,
neither
in
respect
of
her
meat
,
neither
yet
of
her
handling
and
managing
,
neither
yet
in
furniture
:
but
the
force
and
strength
whereby
the
Oxe
doth
cleaue
the
ground
,
and
draw
the
Cart
,
requireth
one
that
should
doe
nothing
but
attend
them
:
notwithstanding
that
,
he
must
feed
two
for
one
;
and
that
three
of
the
best
Oxen
in
Bourbon
,
or
in
the
Forest
,
do
not
so
much
as
one
good
Horse
of
France
,
or
of
Beaux
.
In
like
manner
it
is
out
of
doubt
,
that
the
labour
of
Oxen
is
not
admitted
of
but
where
meere
necessitie
forceth
,
because
there
is
no
conuenient
and
commodious
keeping
of
Heards
of
Horse
,
or
where
Horse
is
not
to
be
come
by
,
but
out
of
some
farre
Countrey
.
For
though
the
feeding
be
good
and
singular
for
Oxen
,
as
in
Flanders
,
and
elsewhere
;
yet
it
falleth
out
so
,
that
if
they
can
haue
Horse
to
doe
their
worke
,
they
doe
like
better
thereof
than
of
the
Oxe
:
Euen
as
in
Prouence
,
Languedoe
,
and
Auuergnac
,
men
doe
vse
the
labour
of
their
Mules
and
their
young
Colts
rather
than
of
Oxen
and
Kine
,
because
they
effect
not
,
or
dispatch
their
worke
〈◊〉
well
,
or
yet
so
speedily
:
howsoeuer
,
yet
the
labour
of
the
Oxe
is
maruellous
good
▪
auaileable
,
and
profitable
in
strong
grounds
;
for
they
draw
the
Ploughes
deepe
into
the
earth
,
and
turne
ouer
great
furrowes
:
as
may
be
seene
in
Italie
,
where
there
are
great
Oxen
,
long
and
broad
breasted
,
in
Gascoigne
,
Bourbon
,
Poitou
,
Aniou
,
and
Mayne
.
Againe
,
men
of
ancient
time
vsed
no
other
beast
but
Oxen
,
because
that
Oxen
are
more
sparing
for
the
profit
of
the
Farmer
;
for
they
are
contented
to
feed
vpon
pasture
,
without
anie
other
food
or
prouender
,
besides
the
great
profit
and
good
prouision
comming
of
them
:
for
being
either
shoulder-shot
or
bruised
in
ani●
part
,
or
growne
impotent
and
vnable
to
worke
by
reason
of
old
age
,
they
are
〈◊〉
,
either
for
to
sell
,
or
to
kill
and
salt
for
his
vse
;

and

kind
of

doe
not
affoord

somewhat
descending

sloping

that
so

It
must
also
stand

,
that
so
it
may
be
the
more

lesse
subiect
vnto

:
it
shall
be
nine
foot
wide
,
and
onely
of
such
height
,
as
that
the
Oxe
may
stand
vpright
,
and
the
Oxe-keeper
may
haue
space
ynough
to
goe
round
about
them
,
to
see
and
serue
them
with
fodder
:
as
also
to
the
end
that
seeing
Oxen
will
be
striking
one
another
with
their
hornes
,
the
weaker
may
haue
space
to
withdraw
himselfe
.
The
Rackes
must
be
so
high
,

that
the

cannot
easily
reach
them
.
The

is
to

,
prouiding
them
good
litter

either

,
to
rub
them

before
they
lye

and
in

to

Let
him
be
skilfull
to
discerne
when
Plough
Oxen
haue
labored
much
or
little
,
that
he
may
accordingly
giue
them
a
proportionable
quantitie
of
meat
,
and
also
such
as
shall
be
necessarie
:
he
may
not

take
paine
or
labour
in
verie
hot
or
verie
cold
weather
,
neither
yet
when
it
is
verie

:
he
may
not
let
them
drinke
quickly
after
their
trauell
:
but
if
they
〈◊〉
heated
,
so
soone
as
they
be
come

,
hee
shall
cast
a
little
wine
into

shall
not

them
to

,
vntill
such

When
there
commeth

anie

〈◊〉
shall

Let
him
oftentimes
make
cleane
and
refresh
their

,
and
not
suffer
them
to
cleaue
or
rend
:
and
to
that
end
let
him
euerie
yeare
cause
to
be
repaired
the
pauement
of
his
Oxe-house
,
which
will
serue
also
to
keepe
away

〈◊〉
which
are

annoy
Oxen.
Let

remoue

When

the

it

with

leaue

meanes
the

it
be

may
still

Hauing

you

In
the
diseases
of
the
flanks
,
The
diseases
of
the

wherewith
Oxen
are
oftentimes
tormented
,
you
must
make
a

with
a
quarter
of
a

of

well

mingled
with
cold

applying
it
afterward
vnto
the
pained
places

But
the
most
soueraigne
that
may
be
found
,
is
,
to
take
of
the
leaues
of
Cypresse
,
without

,
three
handfuls
,
and
to
doe
as
is

adding
thereto
strong
vineger
,
to
knead
and
dissolue
the

in

but
if
this
will
not
,
then
take
three
ounces
of

which
is
more
hard

dissolue

make
them
liquid

whiles
it

good

,
mixe
therewith
the
flower
of
Barly
,
and
make
it
all
boyle
together
,
and
so
you
shall
applie
this
cataplasme
verie
hot
vpon
the

so
vp

It
is
to
be

that
the

ease
;
he
staggereth

soltreth
behind

he
breaketh
not
vp
his

suffereth
it
to

his

that
in

manner

If
there
be
any
inflammation
about
them
,
he
pisseth
red
as
bloud

If
this
continue
,
and
that
he
cast
forth
much
such
,
there
is
then
no
more
remedie
:
but
and
if
it
be

a

there
is
some
hope

For

you

called

Brans

som●
once
or
twice
a
weeke
,
and
that
when
it
is
faire
weather
,
and
a
good
season
,
and
that
the
earth
is
easie
and
gentle
:
and
they
shall
meddle
but
with
little
burthens
,
onely
to
exercise
them
:
and
they
shall
eat
nothing
but
Barly
,
Hay
,
and
Sheanes
,
and
sometimes
the
young
buds
of
Vines
,
and
others
,
such
as
they
loue
:
and
that
Oxe
which
hath
wrought
in
the
morning
,
shall
rest
at
afternoone
.
The
ancient
Romanes
did
fasten
some
small
quantitie
of
Hay
to
the
hornes
of
such
Oxen
as
would
strike
with
the
horne
,
to
the
end
that
all
that
met
him
should
take
heed
.
And
hence
riseth
the
French
Prouerbe
,
He
weareth
Hay
on
his
horne
;
pointing
out
a
hot
and
wrathfull
man
:
in
as
much
as
Oxen
,
Horse
,
Asses
,
and
Men
themselues
become
fierce
and
outragious
,
by
being
ouer-fed
,
and
eating
their
full
according
to
their
hearts
desire
.
When
as
once
the
Farmer
doth
perceiue
that
his
Draught
Oxe
is
vnfit
for
labor
,
An
old
Oxe
.
he
shall
feed
him
sometime
,
not
letting
him
doe
anie
thing
:
after
which
,
he
shall
kill
him
and
salt
him
in
pieces
,
for
the
yearely
nourishment
of
his
familie
,
and
by
the
same
meanes
shall
reserue
the
marrow
and
the
gall
of
the
Oxe
for
his
seruice
and
vse
when
he
shall
haue
need
:
for
the
marrow
of
the
Oxe
doth
verie
much
good
in
resoluing
and
softning
hard
tumors
.
The
gall
of
the
Oxe
is
yet
better
than
that
of
the
Bull
:
it
doth
throughly
heale
the
vlcers
of
the
fundament
,
mixed
with
the
iuice
of
Leekes
:
being
dropt
into
the
eare
,
it
doth
take
away
the
buzzing
of
the
eare
:
being
rubbed
about
childrens
nauels
,
it
killeth
the
wormes
:
being
mixt
with
honey
,
it
is
good
for
the
inflamation
of
the
throat
:
mixt
with
the
iuice
of
Beets
,
and
drawne
into
the
nose
,
it
putteth
away
the
fit
of
the
falling
sicknesse
:
it
is
more
profitable
than
anie
other
thing
to
giue
a
yellow
die
and
colour
vnto
Skins
and
Brasle
:
being
scattered
&
sprinkled
vpon
seeds
,
it
maketh
that
the
reaped
corne
will
not
be
deuoured
or
eaten
with
Mice
.
There
is
sometimes
sound
in
an
Oxes
gall
a
stone
of
the
bignesse
of
an
egge
,
The
stone
of
the
Oxe
gall

and
of
a

which
giuen
in

,
is
verie
good
against

Stone
and
Iaundise
▪
applyed
vnto

,
it
maketh
the
sight
more
cleare
,
and
hindereth
the
falling
downe

vpon
the
eyes
.
In
like
manner
,
Husbandmen
may
doe
themselues
much
good
by
the
vse
of
Neats
dung
:
The
dung
of
Oxen.
for
it
cureth
the

resolueth

Of
the
Hogheard
.
AMongst
all
Cattell
seruing
for
food
,
The
Hogge
a
greater
feeder
than
anie
beast
which
is
for
mans
food
.
the
most
rauenous
,
the
most
filthie
,
and
the
most
harmefull
(
that
is
to
say
the
Swine
)
is
had
in
great
estimation
,
and
much
commended
amongst
vs
for
the
sweetnesse
of
the
flesh
,
whiles
yet
it
sucketh
and
is
young
,
both
for
the
Sowce
and
salted
parts
thereof
,
as
also
for
the
Lard
,
the
Skinne
,
and
the
Bristles
thereof
.
The
rauenousnesse
and
greedie
feeding
of
this
Beast
,
is
witnessed
by
the
Sow
which
the
French
King
killed
in
hunting
,
Six
pailes
of
Grapes
found
in
the
bellie
of
〈◊〉
Sow
.
within
whose
bellie
were
found
six
pailes
full
of
Grapes
.
Their
filthinesse
and
stench
,
their
wallowing
of
themselues
,
their
eating
of
stinking
and
filthie
things
,
as
also
the
harme
that
they
doe
,
may
be
answered
and
proued
by
their
rooting
vp
and
vndermining
of
Walls
by
the
foot
and
bottome
,
the
trampling
which
they
keepe
about
Trees
,
Medowes
,
and
vnsowne
places
.
For
this
cause
,
in
a
Farme
of
great
reuenues
(
such
a
one
as
wee
describe
in
this
place
)
there
needeth
a
speciall
man
onely
for
that
purpose
,
to
gouerne
and
guide
them
in
the
fields
▪
〈◊〉
such
a
one
as
knoweth
to
dresse
and
order
his
Heard
in
good
time
,
and
in
clean●
and
cleanely
sort
to
put
the
Pigges
that
are
wained
,
in
one
place
,
wi●h
the
Bores
and
Hogges
;
and
the
Sowes
,
with
their
young
ones
,
into
a
second
place
by
themselues
:
and
yet
further
,
the
sicke
and
diseased
into
a
third
particular
place
by
themselues
.
The
commoditie
of
fresh
straw
.
Fresh
straw
oftentimes
giuing
them
,
and
renewed
,
doth
fat
them
as
much
as
their
meat
:
And
you
must
take
care
,
that
their
Troughes
be
alwaies
cleane
:
And
against
variable
weather
,
the
Hogheard
must
haue
in
store
much
Acornes
,
Swines
meat
.
Beanes
,
Crabs
,
or
wild
Peares
,
or
some
other
rotten
Fruit
,
or
some
manner
of
Pulse
,
or
some
Washings
of
Vessell
:
and
for
want
hereof
,
some
steept
Barly
,
together
with
Bran
and
Coleworts
,
or
boyled
Turneps
,
or
great
Nauers
,
to
offer
vnto
them
.
And
euerie
day
when
they
come
from
the
field
,
let
the
Huswife
procure
in
readinesse
for
them
some
daintie
hot
meat
;
as
Whay
,
the
droppings
of
the
Cheese
mingled
with
Bran
and
Water
,
hauing
first
had
three
or
foure
boiles
together
:
for
besides
that
,
this
good
attendance
will
cause
them
to
make
hast
home
,
and
not
to
forsake
their
companie
to
runne
stragling
abroad
,
when
the
Hogheard
would
haue
them
to
come
home
:
These
hot
drinkes
and
meats
doe
also
heat
the
cold
meats
which
they
shall
haue
fed
vpon
in
the
field
all
the
day
long
:
and
thirdly
,
they
will
rest
better
in
the
night
:
and
lastly
,
not
become
so
subiect
to
diseases
.
And
let
there
be
speciall
care
had
that
their
meat
be
not
cold
,
not
too
thinne
,
least
is
cause
them
the
flux
of
the
bellie
.
There
is
also
two
other
Foods
,
which
are
verie
naturall
and
excellent
for
Hogges
:
the
first
whereof
is
Ale
or
Beere
Graines
,
that
is
to
say
,
after
your
Malt
hath
beene
ground
and
masht
,
and
that
you
haue
drawne
both
your
best
and
your
smaller
drinke
from
it
;
then
with
the
remaines
,
mixt
either
with
Whay
,
Buttermilke
,
Washings
of
Vessels
,
or
such
like
,
you
shall
feed
your
Swine
twice
a
day
,
and
be
sure
to
fill
their
bellies
.
This
food
will
preserue
and
keepe
them
in
good
plight
and
liking
:
and
though
it
will
not
fatten
,
or
make
them
readie
for
slaughter
,
yet
it
will
hold
them
in
good
flesh
,
and
prepare
them
so
well
for
feeding
,
that
with
lesse
cost
you
may
make
them
seruiceable
.
The
second
is
Chaundlers
Graines
,
which
is
the
dregs
,
skins
,
and
other
substances
,
which
at
the
melting
of
his
Tallow
will
by
no
meanes
be
dissouled
;
these
you
shall
mixe
with
the
Swines
Wash
,
being
a
little
warmed
,
and
giue
him
a
good
meale
thereof
three
times
a
day
,
and
it
will
fatten
him
exceedingly
,
and
in
verie
short
space
.
Also
if
you
take
raw
Malt
when
it
is
almost
readie
to
goe
to
the
Kilne
,
To
feed
Swine
speedily
.
and
as
the
Husbandman
saith
,
is
only
well
comed
,
and
with
it
feed
your
Swine
,
there
is
nothing
in
the
world
that
will
sooner
fatten
them
:
for
besides
that
it
is
a
great
feeder
,
it
feedeth
and
maketh
both
the
flesh
and
fat
exceeding
white
,
and
pleasant
both
to
the
eye
and
tast
:
Only
this
obseruation
you
must
euer
hold
,
that
when
you
haue
fed
your
Swine
to
his
full
proofe
,
with
what
food
soeuer
it
be
that
you
feed
them
,
that
then
you
harden
that
fatnesse
,
by
giuing
the
Swine
good
store
of
drie
Pease
or
Beanes
foure
or
fiue
daies
before
he
come
to
slaughter
:
for
without
it
,
the
fat
will
consume
in
the
pot
,
and
the
flesh
will
much
lessen
.
Now
during
the
time
that
you
feed
your
Swine
,
it
shall
be
good
that
once
or
twice
you
giue
them
good
store
of
Veriuice
and
Radle
or
red
Oaker
mixt
together
:
for
this
will
not
onely
stay
the
flux
of
the
bellie
,
but
also
cleanse
and
preuent
the
Meazle
,
which
is
verie
incident
,
and
generally
happeneth
to
all
Swine
in
their
feeding
.
Also
you
shall
note
,
that
the
Husbandman
is
of
opinion
,
that
you
cannot
outer-feed
or
make
your
Swine
too
fat
:
for
(
sayth
he
)
the
fatter
your
Bacon
is
,
the
more
is
your
profit
,
and
three
bits
of
such
Lard
shall
sooner
cloy
and
fill
the
bellie
of
a
hynde
,
than
a
whole
Gommon
of
such
Bacon
as
it
halfe
fed
,
and
hath
the
leane
thereof
equally
mixed
with
the
fat
together
.
Whence
it
commeth
,
that
the
thriftie
Husbandman
will
seeke
all
meanes
,
both
by
Mast
,
Corne
,
Hippes
,
Hawes
,
or
anie
other
moat
,
to
raise
his
Swine
to
as
great
proofe
as
he
can
anie
way
compasse
.
Let
the
floore
or
pauement
of
their
cote
be
layed
with
thicke
pauing
stone
,
The
swine
cote
.
and
euerie
moneth
renewed
with
grauell
or
sand
to
drie
vp
their
pis●e
,
for
this
beast
though
he
be
sluttish
and
dirtie
,
doth
notwithstanding
prosper
best
in
a
clean
house
that
is
well
kept
and
maintained
.
And
to
the
end
that
the
corruption
of
the
aire
which
this
kind
of
beast
maketh
in
close
places
may
not
cause
him
to
haue
either
any
ill
sent
or
other
diseases
to
grow
vpon
them
in
their
cotes
,
especially
when
they
are
in
any
number
together
:
it
behooueth
that
the
doore
thereof
be
made
with
thorough
lights
of
great
barres
,
or
clouen
bords
,
to
the
end
that
their
euill
aire
may
pass●
away
,
and
that
which
is
good
may
come
in
place
continually
,
and
it
is
meet
that
the
doore
should
giue
downe
verie
neere
vnto
the
causey
,
to
the
end
that
they
may
not
lift
it
vp
with
their
snouts
,
and
cast
it
off
the
hinges
:
for
this
cattell
can
hardly
indure
to
be
shut
vp
,
but
gnaw
and
bite
with
their
teeth
,
whatsoeuer
it
be
that
hindreth

for
Winter
Pigges
are
hard

not

kind

the

:
because
this
kind
of
cattell
is
more
chill

is
the
cause
that
in

they

also

For

,
The
time
to

Hogges
.
you
must
geld
them
.
It
is
best
to
geld
them
in
the
old
of
the
Moone
,
in
the
new
,
or
in
the
wane
,
and
in
the
Spring
,
or
September
,
the
time
being
temperate
.
If
you
geld
them
young
,
the
flesh
will
be
the
better
,
but
then
they
grow
not
so
much
:
If

,
growne
somewhat
bigge
,
they
grow
a
deale
more
,
but
then
the

is

good
:
And
therefore
it
will
be
good
to
doe
it
when
they
are
betwixt
foure
and
sixe
moneths
old
,
and
at
the
most
not
to
goe
aboue
a

How
to

t●e
diseases
of

.
when
hee
hangeth
the

verie
much
,
and
doth
become
more
slow
and
heauie
than
hee
hath
beene
accustomed
;
or
that
he
is
found
to
be
without
appetite
:
For
your
better
certaintie
,
when
there
doe
not
appeare
anie
of
these
signes
,
pull
from
him
,
against
the
haire
,
a
handfull
of
the
bristles
of
his
backe
;
if
they
be
cleane
and
white
at
the
root
,
hee
is
●ound

healthfull
:
but
and
if
that
they
be
bloudie
,
or
otherwise
spotted
,
he
is
sicke
.
But
he
is
subiect
especially
to
be
meazled
,
The
meazle
in

.
because
of
his
much
and
filthie
feeding
:
and
this
is
the
cause
why
some
doe
search
the
roots
of
his
tongue
,
and
others
behind
the
eares
,
when
he
is
carried
to
the
Markets
to
be
sold
in
Faires
or
in
good
Townes
.
And
I
thinke
that
this
was
the
cause
why
our
fore-fathers
made
it
not
an
ordinarie
thing
to
eat
,
and
that
the
Iewes
doe
abhorre
to
eat
it
at
all
.

Signes
of
the
meazled
Hogge
.
Now
there
are
three
infallible
signes
to
know
the
Swine
to
be
meazled
:
as
if
there
be
found
vnder
his
tongue
blackish
pustules
:
if
he
cannot
carrie
himselfe
vpright
of
his
hinder
legges
:
and
thirdly
,
if
his
bristles
,
puld
off
his
backe
,
shew
bloudie
at
the
roots
.
Likewise
,
for
that
the
Hogge
,
by
reason
of
his
filthinesse
,
for
the
most
part
hath
one
fault
or
other
betwixt
his
skinne
and
flesh
,
how
sound
soeuer
he
be
;
it
is
good
,
after
he
be
killed
,
to
haue
his
haire
swinged
off
with
straw
,
rather
than
to
scald
them
off
with
hot
water
:
It
is
better
to
burne
than
to
scald
hogges
.
for
the
fire
doth
draw
out
a
great
deale
more
easily
than
warme
water
that
,
whatsoeuer
it
is
,
that
may
be
betwixt
the
skinne
and
the
flesh
.
Yet
the
scalding
of
Hogges
keepeth
the
flesh
whitest
,
plumpest
,
and
fullest
,
neither
is
the
Bacon
so
apt
to
reast
as
the
other
;
besides
,
it
will
make
it
somewhat
apter
to
take
salt
:
howsoeuer
,
if
it
be
for
Porke
,
then
you
must
necessarily
scald
them
,
because
the
fire
will
else
harden
the
skinne
too
much
,
and
make
the
flesh
vnkindly
:
besides
,
the
swindging
of
Hogges
leaueth
the
roots
of
the
haires
in
the
skinne
,
and
the
scalding
bringeth
them
forth
,
which
makes
the
flesh
the
better
.
He
is
also
subiect
vnto
the
paine
and
swelling

the
Spleene

that
so
〈…〉
take

,
and
afterward

Tub

strawing
〈◊〉

In
some
Countries
they
vse
not
in
such
sort
to
cut
it
in
piece●
to
cause
it
to
take
salt
;
neither
do
other
some
put
it
in
salt
brine
in
a
close
powdring
〈◊〉
but
after
that
they
haue
made
it
into
pieces
,
they
diuide
all
the
Lard
in
two
,
and
salt
these
two
halfes
all
of
them
,
making
the
salt
to
pierce
and
enter
into
them
with
a
rowling-pinne
:
and
this
thing
is
not
done
at
one
time
,
or
in
one
day
,
but
at
two
or
three
times
,
and
in
two

three
dayes

:
after
they
hang
them
to
the
ioice

or
to

crookes
set
vp

vaulted

the

to
passe

,
it
groweth
to

So
it
is
better
to
salt

keepe
it
thus
for
them
which
desire

CHAP.
XXV
.
Of
the
Shepheard
.
IF
the
greater
part
of
the
profit
of
a
Farme
depend
vpon
and
consist
in
the
keeping
of
Cattell
;
which
is
performed
by
that
part
of
encrease
which
the
Farmer
spareth
in
his
Fodder
,
Siftings
,
Ridlings
,
and
such
other
things
,
which
cost
him
nothing
but
the
paine
to
gather
and
lay
them
vp
:
then
I
dare
be
bold
to
auouch
it
,
that
the
most
profitable
and
fruitfull
prouision
for
the
Countrey
House
is
of
such
beasts
as
bring
forth
Wooll
.
The
care
of
prouiding
Sheepe
,
and
the
profit
thereof
.
It
is
true
,
that
there
must
all
diligence
be
vsed
to
keepe
them
from
Cold
,
from
the
Purples
,
from
the
Scab
,
from
two
much
ranknesse
of
bloud
,
from
the
Rot
,
and
other
such
inconueniences
as
sometimes
spread
and
proceed
from
one
to
another
,
and
that
he
hath
likewise
care
,
and
doe
his
whole
endeauour
,
in
keeping
them
both
in
the
Fields
and
at
the
Cratch
:
but
it
is
as
true
that
there
riseth
as
great
profit
and
commoditie
to
the
Farmer
.
For
besides
the
dung
which
they
make
,
and
which
exceedeth
all
other
kinds
of
dung
in
goodnesse
,
for
the
great
substance
,
strength
,
and
heartening
which
it
giueth
vnto
the
ground
,
they
bring
yet
infinite
other
commodities
:
as
by
Wooll
,
whereof
are
made
Cloth
,
Hats
,
Caps
,
and
manie
other
stuffes
:
by
their
Fells
,
which
serue
for
Furre
or
for
Leather
:
by
their
Milke
,
whereof
are
made
Cheeses
verie
excellent
,
as
may
be
seene
by
those
which
the
Towne
of
Betune
doth
affoord
:
and
finally
,
by
their
flesh
,
which
is
so
good
and
excellent
of
it selfe
,
that
no
continuall
vse
of
it
doth
euer
make
it
the
lesse
pleasant
in
the
eating
:
so
that
for
certaine
it
may
be
said
of
it
,
that
if
the
flesh
of
this
Beast
were
as
scarce
as
that
of
the
Fawne
,
Hind
,
and
other
Venison
,
it
would
be
the
onely
Venison
of
request
before
all
other
in
the
world
.
And
this
further
is
to
be
seene
and
obserued
for
a
rare
and
singular
commoditie
in
all
the
foresaid
things
proceeding
from
these
Cattell
that
bring
forth
Wooll
,
The
profit
of
Sheepe
and
Muttons
.
and
not
lightly
to
be
passed
ouer
of
the
Husbandman
;
namely
,
that
there
is
not
anie
one
of
them
which
is
not
alwaies
readie
,
and
of
present
imployment
,
and
whereof
there
are
not
moe
buyers
than
sellers
,
so
that
the
Husbandman
need
not
doubt
of
anie
long
staying
for
the
sale
thereof
.
For
first
of
all
,
the
Dung
is
in
imployment
the
verie
first
houre
;
the
Wooll
no
sooner
shorne
,
but
it
is
greedily
catcht
vp
;
and
so
soone
as
the
Mutton
is
flead
,
you
haue
a
chapman
for
the
flesh
,
and
another
for
the
Fell
:
The
Cheese
will
either
serue
you
at
your
Table
,
or
else
the
Marchant
.
But
and
if
you
be
not
disposed
thus
to
retaile
the
seuerall
commodities
of
this
beast
,
you
shall
find
chapmen
to
buy
them
in
grosse
▪
Which
is
yet
more
,
if
you
be
not
able
to
abide
vntill
they
be
full
growne
,
and
in
their
ripest
season
,
to
be
made
mony
of
,
yet
then
may
you
find
to
content
your selfe
,
and
procure
pence
by
selling
away
such
of
the
Lambes
as
may
be
culled
out
of
the
whole
flocke
.
Let
it
not
then
seeme
strange
,
if
we
teach
the
good
Husbandman
,
that
he
attend
and
haue
a
speciall
care
ouer
his
Sheepefold
,
and
that
in
a
higher
measure
than
ouer
anie
other
of
his
Cattell
.
The
seating
of
the
Sheepe-house
.
Wherefore
he
shall
set
his
Sheepe-house
in
the
highest
part
of
his
Court
,
right
in
the
face
of
the
South
Sun
,
to
the
end
it
may
be
the
lesse
annoyed
with
moisture
,
and
more
open
to
a
wholesome
aire
:
which
shall
be
of
such
length
,
as
that
his
flocke
may
haue
roome
therein
without
treading
one
vpon
another
,
setting
it
round
about
with
Mangers
or
Sheep-racks
of
a
low
pitch
for
to
fodder
them
in
.
There
shall
be
a
floore
of
sawed
boords
betwixt
the
Sheepe
roome
and
the
Roofe
,
to
the
end
that
they
may
be
the
warmer
in
the
Winter
,
and
that
the
Snow
,
which
may
beat
in
at
the
tile
,
doe
not
fall
downe
vpon
their
fleeces
,
and
so
melting
with
their
heat
,
pierce
downe
vnto
the
skin
,
and
make
them
cold
.
He
shall
haue
a
Shepheard
for
to
guide
them
,
which
shall
be
gentle
,
louing
his
flocke
,
nimble
,
of
a
loud
voice
,
and
able
to
whoop
well
,
giuen
to
take
pains
,
able
to
reckon
,
and
by
nature
enclined
to
good
and
honest
things
:
for
there
are
but
few
of
this
profession
now
adaies
(
especially
neere
to
Townes
and
Cities
)
but
that
by
their
slouthfulnesse
and
great
leysure
doe
giue
themselues
to
some
euill
deuises
,
practises
,
and
malice
,
rather
than
to
the
good
and
profit
of
their
masters
:
so
that
of
them
ill
disposed
,
we
daily
see
to
ensue
and
grow
manie
thefts
,
filching
and
pilfering
prankes
,
Shepheards
the
inuentors
of
Astrologie
,
&c.
out-rodes
,
witchcrafts
,
and
infinite
other
mischiefes
.
On
the
contrarie
,
the
first
Shepheards
of
Egypt
and
other
places
were
the
bringers
to
light
of
Astrologie
,
Physick
,
Musick
,
and
manie
other
liberall
Sciences
:
and
I
know
not
whether
I
may
father
the
worthie
art
of
Warfare
vpon
them
,
or
no
;
as
also
Policie
,
Principalitie
,
and
the
Gouernment
and
welding
of
Kingdomes
:
for
sure
I
am
,
that
they
did
intrench
themselues
in
the
Field
,
and
there
liued
vnder
Cotages
and
Cabines
made
of
bough●
manie
yeares
,
obseruing
at
leysure
the
courses
of
the
Starres
,
the
dispositions
of
the
Seasons
,
and
by
long
vse
and
obseruation
marking
the
goodnesse
and
prosperousnesse
,
as
also
the
inconueniences
and
hard
successes
,
of
Times
:
in
such
sort
,
as
that
of
the
Shepheards
of
those
times
came
and
sprung
the
men
of
deepe
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
:
The
Hieroglyphicks
may
witnesse
the
same
.
To
conclude
therefore
,
there
is
great
care
to
be
had
in
the
chusing
of
a
good
Shepheard
.
But
I
vnderstand
and
set
downe
with
my selfe
,
Signes
of
good
Sheepe
.
that
a
good
Farmer
,
to
the
end
he
may
haue
a
faire
flocke
of
Sheepe
,
doth
buy
them
vnshorne
,
not
hauing
a
gray
or
spotted
Wooll
partie-coloured
,
because
of
the
vncertainetie
of
the
colour
.
He
shall
reiect
as
barren
all
such
as
haue
teeth
of
moe
than
three
yeares
,
and
he
shall
make
choise
of
them
of
two
yeares
,
hauing
great
bodies
,
long
neckes
,
long
deepe
Wooll
,
silken
,
small
,
and
bright
shining
:
great
bellies
,
and
couered
with
Wooll
:
great
pap●
,
great
eyes
,
long
legges
,
and
a
long
taile
.
He
shall
much
esteeme
the
Ramme
which
is
tall
of
bodie
and
long
,
which
hath
a
great
bellie
,
and
couered
with
Wooll
,
a
long
taile
,
The
signes
of
a
good
Ramme
.
and
a
thicke
fleece
,
a
broad
forehead
,
and
thicke
set
with
haire
,
blacke
eyes
,
and
beset
with
strong
Wooll
,
grosse
stones
,
large
loynes
,
great
cares
,
and
couered
with
Wooll
of
one
colour
,
not
diuersly
coloured
in
anie
part
of
his
bodie
,
well
horned
,
and
notwithstanding
but
small
hornes
,
wrythen
and
turned
backe
rather
than
strait
and
open
,
his
tongue
and
palate
white
,
to
the
end
that
the
Lambes
which
he
shall
beget
may
haue
their
●leeces
all
white
:
for
if
he
should
haue
it
all
blacke
,
or
else
bespotted
with
blacke
vnder
the
tongue
,
howsoeuer
he
may
be
of
a
white
Wooll
,
notwithstanding
,
the
Lambs
which
he
shall
ingender
will
haue
mingled
and
spotted
coats
,
either
with
blacke
or
gray
,
and
so
by
this
meanes
will
become
of
lesse
account
and
profit
▪
Although
the
horned
Ramme
hath
this
discommoditie
,
A
horned
Ramme
.
that
finding
himselfe
armed
by
nature
,
he
seeketh
to
doe
nothing
more
than
to
fight
,
and
is
so
much
the
more
earnest
with
the
Sheepe
,
vrging
them
mightily
thereunto
:
notwithstanding
,
he
is
much
better
than
one
without
hornes
:
for
he
knowing
himselfe
without
hornes
,
is
not
so
readie
to
fight
,
The
Ramme
without
hornes
.
and
is
also
lesse
hot
by
nature
,
according
to
the
traditions
of
France
:
but
according
to
the
experience
of
other
Countries
,
the
Ramme
without
hornes
is
the
best
for
breed
,
The
best
Ramme
being
best
shaped
,
best
woolled
,
and
best
mettalled
,
hauing
beene
often
seene
to
haue
slaine
with
his
bare
head
him
that
hath
beene
more
than
extraordinarily
armed
,
with
great
,
spacious
,
and
round
twyned
hornes
.
Besides
,
the
Ramme
without
hornes
begetteth
his
young
without
anie
danger
to
the
Ewe
in
her
yeaning
,
whereas
the
Ramme
which
hath
hornes
,
begetteth
his
Lambes
with
such
hornes
,
that
the
damme
dieth
oft
before
she
be
able
to
yeane
it
.
Now
the
Shepheards
are
wont
to
bridle
and
correct
the
heat
and
furi●
o●
a
Ramme
that
is
too
headie
and
disposed
to
fight
,
The
rage
of
a
Ramme
.
by
binding
to
his
head
a
good
strong
boord
,
stricken
full
of
naile
points
on
the
side
toward
his
forehead
:
for
such
a
one
will
keepe
them
from
pushing
one
at
another
,
seeing
they
cannot
iurre
but
that
they
must
hurt
themselues
:
or
else
they
bore
their
hornes
through
,
neere
vnto
the
eares
;
for
so
are
some
Shepheards
accustomed
to
doe
.
The
Sheepe-cote
,
as
well
as
the
Swine-cote
,
shall
be
paued
with
pauing
stones
,
and
made
to
hang
ouer
the
Court
towards
the
dunghill
pit
,
where
must
be
set
some
Ro●emarie
of
Beaux
,
in
respect
of
the
smell
of
the
sinke
conueying
their
pisse
.
It
must
be
situated
(
as
hath
been
said
before
)
vpon
the
South
:
for
these
Cattell
,
howsoeuer
they
be
well
couered
by
Natures
worke
,
are
notwithstanding
such
as
cannot
endure
or
away
with
Cold
,
and
as
badly
can
they
abide
the
heat
of
Summer
:
and
therefore
they
must
haue
made
for
them
a
long
house
,
verie
low
,
and
sufficient
wide
.
The
situation
of
the
Mangers
shall
be
about
a
foot
and
a
halfe
from
the
floore
:
and
there
shall
be
high
straight
poles
,
and
set
thick
,
made
fast
vnto
the
said
Mangers
,
that
so
the
Sheepe
may
be
kept
from
going
on
the
other
side
of
their
racks
.
The
office
of
a
Shepheard
.
The
Shepheard
shall
keepe
his
racks
and
hurdles
for
void
roomes
,
and
making
of
separation
betweene
roome
and
roome
,
verie
cleane
:
and
he
shall
also
make
them
so
fast
,
as
that
they
may
not
in
anie
case
fall
,
and
that
so
the
Rammes
may
not
goe
vnto
the
Ewes
,
nor
the
Lambes
vnto
the
diseased
Sheepe
.
He
shall
be
carefull
to
make
his
Ewes
take
Ramme
after
the
first
two
yeares
,
for
the
space
of
the
next
fiue
after
ensuing
;
for
when
the
seuenth
yeare
is
once
past
,
they
begin
to
faile
and
wither
away
:
and
againe
,
the
female
taking
Ramme
before
she
be
two
yeare
old
,
bringeth
forth
a
feeble
and
a
weake
brood
,
without
anie
strength
;
but
and
if
shee
bring
forth
before
that
age
,
you
must
sell
her
Lambes
:
The
Ramme
that
is
to
blesome
Ewes
,
must
not
be
vnder
three
,
nor
aboue
eight
:
One
Ramme
will
serue
to
blesome
fiftie
Ewes
:
The
time
most
fit
to
couple
and
put
them
together
,
is
about
the
Winter
Solstice
,
which
is
in
the
moneth
of
Nouember
,
to
the
end
that
the
Ewe
which
goeth
with
Lambe
fiue
moneths
,
may
Lambe
in
the
Spring
,
in
which
time
she
shall
find
the
grasse
beginning
to
spring
,
and
so
shall
returne
home
with
her
Vdder
well
filled
,
to
suffice
for
the
feeding
o●
her
yong
:
which
will
be
growne
to
good
perfection
by
Easter
;
at
which
time
the
Butchers
will
be
readie
to
buy
them
.
Furthermore
,
for
some
daies
before
that
the
Ramme
and
the
Ewe
be
coupled
together
,
you
must
giue
them
to
drinke
salt
water
;
so
the
Ewe
will
hold
better
▪
and
the
Ramme
will
be
the
more
lustie
:
but
after
that
the
Ewe
is
with
Lambe
,
you
must
not
let
her
drinke
anie
such
water
,
because
it
would
cause
her
to
Lambe
before
her
time
.
If
the
Farmer
desire
to
haue
manie
Weather
Lambes
,
To
haue
manie
Lambes
.
it
will
be
good
,
according
to
the
counsell
of
Aristotle
.
to
obserue
and
spie
out
a
drie
time
when
the
Northerne
wind

if

he

draw
them
to

vpon
a
Southerne

so
let
the

couer
them

When
the

in
Lambing
,
The

Ewes
.
care
shall
be
had
to
helpe
her
if
need
require
,
drawing
the
whole
Lambe
out
of
her
bodie
,
if
it
lie
ouerthwart
,
and
cannot
come
forth
:
For
this
poore
Beast
is
pained
in
Lambing
,
as
Women
be
in
bearing
of
their
children
;
and
oftentimes
(
being
void
of
reason
)
shee
trauaileth
with
much
greater
paines
.
The
L●mbe
being
come
forth
,
it
must
be
lifted
vp
and
holden
right
,
and
afterward
put
to
the
teats
of
the
Ewe
,
thereby
to
vse
it
to
sucke
the
damme
:
and
yet
not
so
forthwith
,
but
that
there
be
some
of
her
formost
milke
drawne
out
first
,
which
otherwise
might
hurt
the
Lambe
.
The
ordering
of
young
Lambes
.
Afterward
it
shall
be
shut
vp
with
the
damme
for
the
two
first
daies
after
that
it
is
lambed
,
to
the
end
she
may
keepe
it
the
warmer
,
and
it
may
the
better
learne
to
know
her
.
In
the
meane
time
,
care
must
be
had
to
feed
the
Ewe
with
the
best
Hay
that
may
be
found
,
and
with
a
little
●●anne
and
Salt
amongst
:
to
keepe
her
in
a
house
verie
fast
and
sure
,
and
not
to
suffer
her
to
goe
forth
of
three
or
foure
daies
:
to
carrie
her
water
to
drinke
,
a
little
warme
;
and
wherein
is
mixed
a
little
of
the
flower
of
Millet
and
of
Salt
:
to
draw
from
her
her
first
milke
,
because
it
is
not
good
.
And
so
soone
as
her
Lambe
shall
begin
to
know
her
,
she
may
be
let
loose
to
goe
feed
in
the
fields
;
and
to
keepe
the
Lambe
fast
in
a
warme
and
darke
house
,
vntill
such
time
as
it
begin
to
play
the
wanton
:
out
of
which
house
it
shall
be
let
loose
morning
and
euening
to
sucke
the
damme
at
her
comming
home
and
going
to
the
fields
.
And
after
that
it
shall
be
growne
a
little
stronger
,
you
shall
giue
it
,
within
house
,
some
Bran
,
or
verie
small
Hay
,
and
that
the
best
that
is
to
be
gotten
,
to
keepe
it
occupied
with
all
the
time
that
the
damme
is
in
field
.
The
wise
Shepheard
will
not
keepe
,
What
Lambes
are
to
be
kept
for
the
furnishing
of
the
flock
.
for
to
store
his
flock
,
anie
other
Lambes
than
such
as
are
the
grossest
,
most
corpulent
,
&
strong
,
and
which
will
well
be
able
to
hold
out
Winter
:
and
as
for
the
rest
,
he
will
learne
them
the
way
to
the
Towne
to
seekes
new
Master
.
He
will
be
alwaies
sure
to
keepe
a
good
round
number
to
vphold
and
renew
the
losses
that
may
fall
by
death
or
by
sicknesse
.
The
wise
Shepheard
will
not
geld
his
Lambes
till
they
be
betwixt
fiue
and
six
moneths
old
:
and
for
to
geld
them
,
To
geld
Lambs
.
he
shall
vse
the
meanes
set
downe
in
the
gelding
of
Calues
.
In
Winter
hee
shall
fodder
them
with
the
best
sheaues
of
Corne
in
the
Barne
:
and
he
shall
rake
together
the
scatterings
which
they
make
from
time
to
time
,
which
after
will
serue
for
L●tter
for
the
Kine
and
Horse
.
For
want
of
Corne-sheaues
,
Fodder
for
Sheepe
.
he
may
fodder
them
with
the
greene
boughs
or
leaues
of
Elmes
,
or
else
of
the
Ash
tree
,
gathered
in
their
season
,
or
with
Autumne
Hay
,
or
the
after-crop
.
The
tree
called
Cytisus
is
good
for
them
,
if
it
may
be
found
in
this
cold
Countrey
,
and
being
a
thing
so
much
desired
and
sought
after
of
the
Goats
,
as
they
who
by
the
vse
thereof
are
made
fruitfull
in
milke
;
so
likewise
is
the
Fetch
:
notwithstanding
,
the
straw
of
Pulse
will
be
necessarie
for
them
when
they
cannot
haue
anie
other
thing
,
but
that
all
other
manner
of
Fodder
is
gone
,
and
not
to
be
come
by
.
As
concerning
the
time
when
they
are
to
be
led
forth
to
feeding
,
What
time
Sheepe
should
be
carried
to
pasture
.
in
Winter
,
Autumne
,
and
Spring
time
,
you
shall
keepe
them
close
in
the
morning
,
and
you
shal
not
carrie
them
to
the
fields
,
vntil
the
day
haue
taken
the
frost
away
from
off
the
ground
:
for
at
these
times
the
frozen
grasse
doth
beget
in
them
a
rhewme
and
heauinesse
of
the
head
,
and
looseneth
their
bellies
.
In
Summer
he
shall
carrie
his
flocke
to
the
fresh
pasture
by
the
point
of
day
,
when
as
the
tender
grasse
is
couered
with
the
dew
:
and
toward
noone
he
shall
looke
out
either
vaults
and
hollow
places
of
the
earth
,
or
else
the
couert
and
shadow
of
some
thicket
,
to
keepe
his
Cattell
from
the
heat
of
the
Sunne
:
or
else
some
old
Oke
,
stretching
forth
his
boughes
:
or
the
Forests
and
place●
of
tall
Timber
trees
,
which
giue
a
shadow
.
And
in
as
much
as
this
Beast
is
verie
tender
aboue
the
head
,
and
is
greatly
offended
by
the
Sunne
,
he
shall
be
carefull
in
Summer
,
during
the
great
heat
,
to
obserue
when
the
Canicular
daies
begin
,
that
so
before
noone-tide
he
may
draw
his
flocke
to
feed
vpon
the
West
,
and
after
noone
vpon
the
East
.
For
this
is
a
thing
of
great
moment
,
that
the
head
of
the
Sheepe
which
are
feeding
,
be
turned
contrarie
to
the
Sunne
,
which
oftentimes
hutteth
that
kind
of
Cattell
,
at
such
time
as
the
Canicular
daies
come
in
.
In
cold
and
moist
weather
,
To
water
Sheepe
.
as
in
Winter
and
Spring
time
,
he
shall
water
them
only
once
a
day
,
but
in
Summer
twice
,
that
is
to
say
,
foure
houres
after
Sunne
rise
,
and
at
night
,
after
the
heat
is
rebated
and
well
ouer-past
.
The
Shepheard
shall
order
and
gouerne
them
with
great
gentlenesse
,
A
gentle
Shepheard
.
as
it
is
most
requisite
for
all
Heards
of
whatsoeuer
Cattell
that
it
be
,
who
must
rather
be
and
shew
themselues
leaders
and
guides
of
their
beasts
,
than
lords
.
Guiding
them
to
the
field
,
he
must
alwaies
goe
before
them
,
to
hinder
and
keepe
them
backe
from
running
into
fields
where
they
might
feed
vpon
euill
and
hurtfull
grasse
:
and
especially
such
grounds
as
wherein
the
water
vseth
to
stand
,
or
where
the
ground
hath
beene
ouer-washt
with
some
Floud
,
and
breaking
forth
of
some
Riuer
,
because
th●
by
pasturing
in
such
places
,
they
could
not
chuse
but
in
lesse
than●
fortie
daies
be
teinted
,
and
die
,
except
they
were
relieued
and
succoured
by
some
good
meanes
.
He
shall
rather
keepe
a
white
dogge
than
one
of
anie
other
colour
to
follow
his
Sheepe
,
and
he
himselfe
also
must
be
apparelled
in
white
,
because
that
Sheepe
re
naturally
so
inclined
to
feare
,
as
that
and
if
they
see
but
a
beast
of
anie
other
co●our
,
they
doubt
presently
that
it
is
the
Wolfe
which
commeth
to
deuoure
them
.
This
dogge
must
haue
a
collar
of
yron
about
his
neck
,
beset
with
good
sharpe
points
●f
nailes
,
to
the
end
that
he
may
the
more
cheerefully
fight
with
the
Wolfe
,
percei●●ing
himselfe
thereby
to
haue
the
aduantage
,
as
also
that
the
Wolfe
may
not
take
oc●asion
to
hang
him
in
his
owne
collar
:
If
it
happen
that
his
Sheepe
be
scattered
,
to
●all
them
in
and
bring
them
together
againe
,
whether
it
be
for
keeping
them
out
of
●arme
,
or
to
cause
them
to
know
his
call
,
he
must
whoope
and
whistle●after
them
,
●hreatning
them
with
his
Sheepe-crooke
,
or
else
setting
his
dogge
after
them
,
which
●he
shall
haue
trained
to
doe
them
that
seruice
:
but
he
may
not
cast
anie
thing
at
them
,
●either
may
he
goe
farre
from
them
,
neither
yet
take
himselfe
leaue
to
lye
or
sit
●owne
:
he
must
accustome
them
to
two
sorts
of
cries
,
the
one
pleasant
and
shrill
,
to
●ake
them
goe
forward
:
but
to
call
them
backe
,
to
another
and
diuers
crie
,
to
the
●nd
,
that
the
Sheepe
hearing
these
two
different
cries
,
may
learne
and
apply
them●●●ues
to
doe
that
,
which
is
thereby
commanded
them
.
If
he
walke
not
,
yet
he
must
●tand
,
to
the
end
he
may
be
as
a
vigilant
watch
vnto
his
Cattell
:
and
he
must
not
suf●er
the
Slower
,
or
those
which
are
with
Lambe
to
straggle
from
the
rest
,
or
come
farre
●ehind
them
,
by
hanging
backe
,
when
the
light-footed
,
and
such
as
haue
alreadie
Lambed
,
doe
runne
before
,
least
by
that
meanes
some
th●efe
or
deuouring
beast
de●eiue
them
,
and
come
vpon
them
busie
at
their
meat
.
He
must
sometime
make
them
●errie
,
cheering
them
vp
with
songs
,
or
else
by
his
whistle
and
Pipe
:
for
the
Sheepe
●t
the
hearing
thereof
will
feed
the
more
hungerly
,
they
will
not
straggle
so
farre
abroad
,
but
they
will
loue
him
the
better
.
He
shall
not
draw
them
into
anie
grounds
,
but
such
as
are
tilled
and
turned
,
or
to
the
grassie
tops
of
Hills
,
to
the
high
Woods
,
or
else
such
Medow
grounds
as
are
not
moist
&
wet
;
but
neuer
into
Marish
grounds
,
nor
into
Forests
,
or
other
places
,
whereas
there
are
Thornes
,
Burres
,
and
Thistles
:
for
such
doth
nothing
but
make
them
itchie
and
scuruie
,
and
to
lose
their
Wooll
.
Also
it
is
not
so
good
fodder
,
nor
so
good
feeding
,
which
for
long
time
hath
been
in
continuall
vse
:
for
so
the
Cattell
will
grow
wearie
of
it
,
and
offended
therewith
,
except
the
prudent
Shepheard
vse
some
remedie
against
it
,
by
mingling
some
salt
amongst
it
,
or
sprinkle
it
with
brine
or
dregs
of
oyle
vpon
some
floure
,
and
so
with
their
meat
he
should
giue
them
both
sawce
and
appetite
.
In
the
high
time
of
Summer
,
The
Shepheards
life
in
Summer
.
the
Shepheard
shall
come
with
his
flocke
to
their
lodging
,
and
shall
fold
them
amongst
the
fallowes
,
and
there
make
his
fold
with
hurdles
,
after
the
manner
of
the
Sheepe-cote
,
the
couering
excepted
:
And
at
the
foure
corners
of
his
fold
he
shall
tie
his
dogge
for
a
sentinell
and
standing
watch
,
lodging
himselfe
in
the
said
fold
,
within
his
Cabin
of
Wood
,
which
he
shall
driue
vpon
wheeles
to
and
fro
,
as
he
shall
haue
occasion
to
change
his
field
and
fold
.
He
shall
cleanse
his
Sheepe-cote
but
once
a
yeare
,
The
clea●●ng
of
the
Sheepe-cote
.
and
that
shall
be
presently
after
August
,
or
else
in
Iuly
,
being
the
time
when
his
Heard
is
folded
:
but
neuer
in
Autumne
,
nor
in
Winter
,
for
then
their
dung
will
serue
to
keepe
them
warme
.
And
then
forthwith
the
Farmer
shall
cause
the
same
dung
to
be
carried
vnto
the
leanest
parts
of
his
land
,
and
shall
leaue
it
there
on
hillocks
to
drie
in
the
heat
of
the
Summer
vntill
October
,
and
then
to
cause
it
to
be
spread
vpon
the
ground
▪
or
else
to
mingle
it
with
Marle
,
to
dung
and
manure
the
earth
:
howbeit
,
Marle
must
not
be
reiterated
so
oft
as
dung
,
for
which
cause
he
must
vse
such
discretion
,
as
that
he
must
not
lay
anie
Marle
but
from
fiue
yeares
to
fiue
yeares
in
anie
place
.
It
will
be
good
after
that
the
Sheepe-cote
is
made
cleane
,
to
perfume
it
with
Womens
haire
,
or
Harts
horne
,
or
the
hornes
of
Goats
clawes
,
thereby
to
driue
away
Adders
and
Snakes
,
and
other
beasts
,
which
oftentimes
annoy
this
kind
of
Cattell
.
He
shall
procure
his
Sheepe
to
be
shorne
the
first
hot
season
falling
out
in

Spring
,
Shearing
time
.
if
it

vntill

and
that
in
faire
weather

Moone
growing

Afterward
you
shall
strake
the
shorne
Sheepe
all
ouer
their
skins
with
your
drie
hand
,
moistened
in
oyle
and
wine
mingled
together
,
to
comfort
them
withall
:
and
if
there
be
anie
snips
in
their
skins
,
you
shall
apply
vnto
them
melted
Wax
or
Tarre
with
sweet
Seame
,
for
this
doth
heale
them
and
keepe
them
from
the
scab
,
and
causeth
also
a
finer

longer
Wooll
to
grow
vp

To
keepe
your
Sheepe
in

you
shall
giue

beginning
presently
after
they
haue
Lambed

continuing
vntill
they
goe
againe

by

they
will
be
fat

full
of

After
they

you
must
giue

you

feed

with

chase
them
vp

downe
the

(

almost
tyred

〈◊〉
them
rest

fall

at

pleasure

And
thus
you
shall
doe
in
the
euening
also
;
the
reason
whereof
is
this
:
In
the
morning
your
Sheepe
comming
hungrie
from

Fold
,
and
finding
the
thicke
Dew
,
Cobwebs
,
Meldewes

suc●
like
filthinesse
vpon

they
will
with
all
greedinesse
deuoure
and
eat
it
,
that
which
,
nothing
in
the
world
sooner
procureth
rotting
:
Now
being
thus
chased
wearie
,
they
will
not
onely
with
their

beat
that
corruption
from
the
ground

also
,
through

forbeare

till
such

the

Sunn●

haue
exhaled

drawne
away
those
fogges

made
the

both

by

experiment
it
hath
been
approued
,
that
where
ten
thousand

for

not

quelled

hath
beene
vsed
in

For

you

The
most
soueraigne
remedie
to

,
as
also
of

is
to
cause

remedie
is
to

turne

himself
againe

sometime

ease

more
subiect

than
after
Michaelmas
,
that
their
Lambes
may
haue
strength
before
May
day
to
follow
their
dammes
ouer
the
clots
and
rough
grounds
,
and
your
pasture
sheepe
you
shall
put
to
the
Rammes
not
before
S.
Lukes
day
that
the
dammes
may
haue
full
bit
and
strength
of
grasse
to
feed
vp
and
fatten
their
Lambes
quickly
,
for
the
choyce
of
your
sheepe
for
any
of
these
soiles
,
you
shall
take
such
as
agree
with
the
leare
and
colour
of
your
earth
,
rather
bringing
them
from
a
worse
soyle
to
a
better
,
than
from
a
good
soyle
to
a
bad
;
knowing
withall
that
your
fat
earth
though
it
beare
a
great
sheepe
,
and
much
burthen
of
wooll
,
yet
it
is
but
course
,
and
your
barren
earths
,
though
it
beare
but
a
small
sheepe
,
and
smaller
burthen
of
wooll
,
yet
if
the
leare
be
right
,
the
wooll
will
be
finest
and
deerest
,
except
the
soyle
be
verie
much
cold
,
or
verie
much
moist
,
and
then
the
staple
will
be
but
hairie
,
as
may
be
seene
in
the
Northerne
and
lesse
fruitfull
Countries
.
Now
for
the
leares
of
sheepe
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
the
browne
hazell
leare
is
of
all
other
the
best
,
the
redd
leare
next
to
it
,
the
yellow
leare
next
to
the
redd
,
and
the
dunne
dyrtie
leare
of
all
other
the
worst
,
and
least
profitable
,
all
manner
of
sand
grounds
yeeld
good
leares
,
so
doe
most
of
your
mixt
earths
,
your
clays
,
if
not
too
wet
,
are
reasonable
,
but
your
flyntie
,
grauelly
,
peeble
soiles
,
yeeld
neuer
any
goodnesse
at
all
,
your
doded
white
fast
sheepe
that
is
rough
and
well
woolled
about
the
eyes
,
is
euer
profitable
both
to
the
sheares
and
the
shambles
,
being
commonly
of
good
bone
,
are
good
burthen
,
but
the
bare
or
blacke
fast
sheepe
,
though
he
may
haue
a
good
coat
,
yet
it
is
so
light
that
he
cannot
be
held
much
commodious
to
either
.
CHAP.

.
Of
the
Goat-heard
.
SVndrie
countries
in
Europe
,
and
particularly
some
places
of
France
are
to
be
found
,
where
they
haue
not
the
commoditie
and
benefit
of
any
greater
cattell
than
the
Goat
,
and
of
this
they
can
make
milke
meats
,
much
Butter
,
and
more
wholesome
than
that
of
the
sheepe
,
as
other
things
also
accompanying
thesame
,
the
wooll
and
skin
onely
excepted
,
of
which
notwithstanding
they
make
Chamlet
in
Turkie
,
Chamlet
made
of
Goats
haire
.
and
as
for
their
young
ones
,
they
are
sold
in
their
season
,
and
make
as
good
meat
as
any
that
can
be
found
.
And
this
time
is
when
as
birds
doe
couple
and
match
together
,
and
other
beasts
goe
to
rut
,
for
the
young
ones
of
this
kind
being
indeed
verie
young
,
Young
Kiddes
well
esteemed
.
The
●oosening
tricke
of
cookes
.
are
apt
to
be
compared
with
the
Lambes
of
the
same
age
.
Witnesse
to
the
Cookes
and
Vittailers
,
which
craftily
set
the
tayle
of
a
Kid
vpon
the
quarter
of
a
lambe
,
which
is
found
to
haue
but
a
skinnie
and
vnsauorie
flesh
,
without
any
daintinesse
or
tast
at
all
saue
of
the
milke
.
The
Goat
is
fed
as
it
were
with
nothing
:
he
brouseth
and
feedeth
of
all
manner
of
grasse
,
of
pricking
things
be
they
neuer
so
sharpe
:
vpon
the
hedges
,
bushes
,
The
goats
vsuall
meat
and
fodder
.
brambles
,
yea
vpon
venimous
and
infectious
things
,
he
loueth
to
brouse
the
wood
of
fruit
trees
:
he
delighteth
to
licke
the
moist
walls
,
and
rockes
tasting
of
Saltpetur
,
in
such
sort
as
that
you
shall
neuer
see
a
Goat
dye
of
hunger
:
he
feedeth
for
the
most
part
of
a
more
solide
meat
than
the
Weather
,
and
climeth
into
higher
places
,
and
where
the
Sunne
hath
greater
power
:
besides
,
he
is
of
greater
stirring
,
and
more
giuen
to
exercise
,
and
therewithall
framed
of
a
more
strong
and
lustie
bodie
.
These
haue
beene
the
causes
why
men
in
times
past
haue
esteemed
them
,
Goats
are
of
great
request
in
hillie
countries
.
as
they
doe
yet
also
in
hillie
countries
:
and
we
for
the
few
that
we
haue
,
doe
prouide
Heards
and
Houses
for
them
amongst
the
Sheepe
,
and
wee
seperate
the
male
Goats
in
such
sort
as
we
doe
the
Rammes
.
Their
house
must
bee
paued
with
stone
,
eyther
by
workemen
or
naturally
:
for
these
cattell
are
not
allowed
any
kind
of
litter
at
all
,
and
that
because
they
like
it
better
to
lye
vpon
the
bare
and
hard
ground
,
than
to
lie
vpon
litter
:
yea
and
oftentimes
they
will
lie
asleepe
vpon
the
●●rie
points
of
rockes
,
or
vpon
the
steepe
corners
of
high
hills
toward
the
heat
o●
〈◊〉
Sunne
,
rather
than
vnder
any
shadow
;
or
else
vpon
the
fresh
and
soft
grasse
:
but
〈◊〉
be
of
variable
complexions
;
and
therefore
it
is
no
shame
for
a
man
to
call
anoth●●
goatie
,
if
he
be
found
mutable
and
full
of
changes
in
his
manners
and
carriage
.
An●
for
as
much
as
we
are
farre
off
from
Languedoc
,
Auuergne
,
and
the
hillie
places
〈◊〉
Sauoy
,
in
which
this
kind
of
prouision
being
a
speciall
commoditie
of
those
cou●tries
,
is
had
in
great
estimation
,
we
will
make
a
shorter
description
and
discourse
both
of
the
maner
of
ordring
them
,
than
we
do
in
the
like
case
of
such
as
beare
woall
as
also
for
that
these
two
sorts
of
cattell
are
placed
together
vnder
one
roofe
,
and
〈◊〉
one
cratch
,
feeding
vpon
the
like
fodder
,
and
are
as
it
were
handled
after
the
〈◊〉
manner
,
and
kept
in
the
same
flocke
.
The
painefull
Goat-heard
shall
make
cleane
their
house
euerie
day
,
The
office
of
the
Goat-heard
.
and
shall
not
suffer
any
dung
or
moisture
therein
,
or
that
with
trampling
they
make
any
dirt
,
for
all
these
are
verie
contrarie
vnto
goats
.
He
himselfe
must
be
of
the
nature
of
goa●
▪
that
is
to
say
,
nimble
,
couragious
,
rough
,
hard
,
diligent
,
patient
,
cheerefull
,
and
bold
,
and
aduenturing
to
goe
amongst
the
rockes
,
through
deserts
and
bushes
,
no●
that
he
should
follow
his
flocke
into
euerie
place
as
other
heards
doe
their
cattell
,
b●●
that
he
be
euerie
day
before
them
.
He
must
not
be
charged
with
moe
than
fiftie
,
because
this
cattell
is
foolish
and
dissolute
,
easie
to
stray
abroad
hither
and
thither
,
contrarie
vnto
sheepe
,
which
keepe
together
,
and
trouble
not
their
heard
with
gathering
of
them
together
.
He
shall
beware
and
not
suffer
them
to
feed
in
cold
places
,
far
cold
is
more
hurtfull
vnto
them
than
any
other
thing
.
He
shall
draw
them
forth
to
the
fields
by
breake
of
day
so
long
as
the
dew
falleth
;
that
so
hauing
filled
themselues
of
the
grasse
thus
bedewed
,
they
may
returne
home
about
nine
of
the
clocke
their
vdders
of
milke
:
and
then
againe
,
about
three
,
they
are
to
be
sent
to
the
fields
,
that
they
may
feed
and
continue
there
vntill
the
euening
.
In
Winter
time
he
may
lead
them
to
fields
from
nine
a
clocke
vntill
night
,
without
any
hurt
done
vnto
them
,
either
by
the
open
aire
,
or
cold
,
be
it
neuer
so
sharpe
,
they
are
of
so
strong
〈◊〉
It
is
true
,
that
if
the
weather
be
tedious
,
or
Rainie
,
or
full
of
Snow
,
as
in
Winter
,
he
shall
keepe
them
in
their
cote
,
and
giue
them
to
eat
the
tender
sprouts
and
stalkes
of
herbes
gathered
in
September
,
and
dried
in
the
Sunne
,
and
afterward
kept
in
the
hay
loft
,
or
some
such
other
place
out
of
the
raine
.
He
shall
vse
the
meanes
to
cause
them
to
ingender
in
Autumne
before
the
moneth
of
December
,
The
goats
bucking
time
.
as
he
doth
the
sheep
,
to
the
end
,
that
in
the
Spring
,
when
the
trees
bud
,
and
the
woods
begin
to
put
forth
new
leaues
,
they
may
bring
forth
their
young
ones
.
When
he
would
haue
his
goats
to
haue
good
store
of
milke

To
make
t●e
goats
to
haue
much
milke
.
he
shall
giue
them
to

ynough
fiue-leaued
grasse
,
or
shall
tie
about
their
bellies
the
hearbe
Dittanie
,
or
else
carrie
them
to
feed
in
some
place
where
there
groweth
great
store
of
it
.
The
goodnesse
of
a
goat
must
be
esteemed
and
gathered
by
these
signes
.
If
she
be
one
yeare
old
,
The
〈…〉
a
good
goat
.
and
not
past
fiue
;
if
she
haue
a
great
bodie
,
firme
and
swift
,
thicke
haire
,
great
and
grosse
teats
,
large
beneath
the
taile
,
and
about
her
thighs
,
rather
of
a
reddish
or
blacke
colour
than
of
a
white
;
for
although
that
some
say
,
that
the
white
doe
yeeld
more
milke
,
yet
the
reddish
coloured
and
blacke
are
more
pleasant
,
frolicke
,
and
merrily
disposed
:
without
hornes
,
rather
than
horned
;
for
those
which
haue
no
hornes
,
doe
not
cast
their
young
so
soone
,
and
they
doe
keepe
more
conueniently
amongst
sheepe
,
than
those
which
haue
hornes
.
The
male
goat
is
much
to
be
esteemed
if
he
be
not
aboue
fiue
yeare
old
(
for
in
respect
of
his
heat
,
The
male
goat
.
which
is
exceeding
great
,
he
doth
easily
grow
old
:
)
which
hath
a
great
bodie
,
grosse
legges
,
a
thicke
and
short
necke
,
hanging
and
great
eares
,
a
small
head
,
blacke
haire
,
thicke
,
neat
,
and
long
,
without
hornes
;
for
such
as
haue
hornes
,
by
reason
of
their
pushing
and
eagernesse
,
are
dangerous
:
which
hath
likewise
vnder
his
chaps
two
bearded
knobs
or
kernels
.
The
profit
that
the
farmer
may
make
of
his
goats
,
〈…〉
is
their
dung
,
whether
it
be
by
folding
them
vpon
their
fallowes
in
the
Summer
time
,
or
that
it
be
such
as
is
made
〈◊〉
gathered
in
their
coats
:
the
Kids
,
the
flesh
whereof
is
held
so
daintie
:
the
Goat-●word
,
whereof
gloues
are
made
;
as
also
counterfeit
Shamois
,
drie
leather
,
or
Spanish
●●ather
,
and
all
the
baggs
wherein
Oyles
are
wont
to
be
carried
in
to
and
fro
:
the
〈◊〉
of
the
male
goat
,
whereof
are
made
the
best
drie
and
Spanish
leather
,
so
much
〈◊〉
request
for
pumpes
and
pantofles
:
the
sewet
of
the
male
Bucke
,
whereof
the
phy●●tions
doe
make
such
vse
,
and
find
so
singular
in
the
curing
of
bloudie
fluxes
:
the
●kins
of
Kids
,
whereof
are
made
handsome

daintie
,

,
●●urses

needle-cases
:
and
Cheese
which
shall
be
made
after
the
fashion
of
Cow-milke-cheese
.
It
is
most
true
that
some
doe
make
them
after
the
fashion
of
little
thin
Angelots
,
and
those
are
the
excellent
cheeses
,
which
haue
beene
wont
to
be
made
at
Nismes
heretofore
,
as
Plinie
recordeth
,
howsoeuer
now
at
this
present
,
Baus
doth
carrie
away
the
name
.
And
now
somewhat
as
concerning
the
baggs
made
of
Goats-skins
for
to
carrie
Oyle
in
,
Baggs
made
of
goats-skins
.
as
we
haue
daily
experience
out
of
the
countries
of
Prouence
and
Langue●oc
:
you
must
first
cut
from
the
dead
Goat
the
head
onely
close
by
the
necke
,
and
●he
feet
at
the
second
joynt
of
the
leggs
:
afterward
,
fleying
the
rest
of
the
leggs
vnto
the
priuie
parts
of
the
beast
,
to
turne
the
rest
ouer
all
the
bodie
,
and
keeping
the
hai●ie
side
outward
to
salt
it
three
or
foure
times
,
and
to
rubbe
ouer
all
the
skin
euerie
where
with
salt
verie
well
;
afterward
,
to
sew
it
and
make
it
into
a
bagge
for
Oyle
,
as
it
may
best
serue
:
you
must
notwithstanding
keepe
it
alwaies
full
,
blown
vp
,
and
tied
somewhere
vp
on
high
,
that
it
may
not
touch
the
earth
,
for
otherwise
it
would
be
gnawed
in
pieces
of
vermine
.
Butter
of
goats
milke
.
She
shall
not
make
account
to
make
Butter
of
their
milke
in
any
great
quantitie
,
for
the
milke
of
goats
hath
no
such
store
of
fat
or
oilie
substance
in
it
,
seeing
there
is
alwaies
much
adoe
to
get
forth
euen
some
small
portion
;
and
yet
,
which
is
more
,
when
it
is
out
,
it
looketh
whitish
,
hard
,
and
tasteth
like
tallow
:
and
thirdly
,
because
in
Languedoe
and
Prouence
,
they
gather
not
any
Butter
at
all
,
being
giuen
to
make
Cheese
,
namely
those
Cheeses
which
are
called
small
Cheeses
.
As
concerning
the
diseases
of
a
Goat
,
The
goat
is
neuer
without
an
ague
.
she
is
neuer
without
an
ague
in
this
Countrie
,
and
that
in
such
sort
,
as
that
if
they
be
free
from
it
but
a
little
,
they
die
:
besides
the
diseases
of
sheepe
,
whereunto
Goats
are
subject
,
there
are
three
other
,
whereunto
the
Goat
is
subject
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
dropsie
,
swelling
after
she
hath
brought
forth
her
young
,
The
diseases
of
goats
.
and
the
drie
disease
.
The
dropsie
happeneth
vnto
her
by
drinking
too
much
water
,
and
then
you
must
make
incision
vnder
the
shoulder
,
and
draw
forth
all
the
gathered
superfluous
moisture
,
and
after
heale
the
wound
with
tarre
.
The
matrix
swolne
.
After
she
hath
brought
forth
her
young
,
if
her
matrix
be
swolne
,
or
if
she
be
not
well
purged
of
her
after-birth
,
you
must
cause
her
to
drinke
a
great
glasse
ful
of
verie
good
wine
.
The
drie
disease
The
drie
disease
commeth
vpon
her
in
the
time
of
hot
seasons
,
as
wherein
her
teats
are
so
dried
vp
,
as
that
they
are
like
vnto
wood
for
drinesse
,
and
in
such
case
you
must
rubbe
her
teats
with
creame
:
and
as
for
other
her
diseases
,
you
must
cure
them
with
those
remedies
which
are
set
downe
for
the
diseases
of
ewes
.
The
good
huswife
that
setteth
by
the
health
of
her
folke
,
The
flesh
of
goats
.
shall
not
giue
any
goats
flesh
vnto
her
people
to
eat
,
except
it
be
in
time
of
great
dearth
and
scarcitie
,
because
the
eating
of
this
flesh
doth
breed
the
falling
sicknesse
.
Likewise
our
predecessours
had
the
flesh
in
such
a
loathed
detestation
,
as
that
they
would
not
deine
to
touch
it
,
no
not
name
it

notwithstanding
if
necessitie
doe
force
vs
to
feed
vpon
it

as
many
poore
peasants
dwelling
in
villages
doe
(
hauing
good
store
of
goats
,
and
which
onely
are
the
store
of
their
powdring
tubs
,
as
also
being
persuaded
thereto
through
couetousnesse
)
then
they
must
boyle
them
in
a
pot
not
couered
,
and
in
great
quantitie
of
water
,
with
good
store
of
spices

after
all
this

not

it

being
for

of
these
there
shall

all
the
day
,
chained
to
some
post
reared
in
the
Court
on
the
left
hand
as
you
goe
i●
,
for
to
giue
aduertisement
of
the
comming
in
or
going
out
of
strangers
,
and
to
make
such
afraid
as
might
come
to
doe
mischiefe
:
but
on
the
night
such
dogges
shall
be
let
loose
,
and
put
amongst
the
rest
which
come
from
the
field
,
to
bolden
them
〈◊〉
their
charge
,
as
in
ranging
and
keeping
the
Court
,
as
well
to
defend
it
from
theeues
,
as
to
free
it
from
the
rauen
of
wild
beasts
,
which
giue
themselues
wholly
to
the
purchase
in
the
night
time
.
This
then
is
his
charge
,
to
feed
them
,
to
make
the●
cleane
,
to
brush
them
and
wipe
off
the
dust
from
them

to
correct
them
,
reclaim●
them
,
teach
and
fit
them
for
that
which
it
is
needfull
that
they
should
doe
,
and
to
this
end
the
farmer
must
not
withhold
from
him
the
great
of
the
siftings
,
which
may
be
prepared
for
them
at
euerie
baking
,
besides
what
may
come
vnto
them
for
their
fees
vpon
euerie
purchase
either
of
tame
or
wild
thing
.
He
shall
likewise
haue
〈◊〉
to
see
to
the
collars
that
are
requisite
about
the
said
dogs
,
To
meet
with
the
madnesse
of
dogges
.
he
shall
see
them
washed
in
the
heat
of
the
weather
for
feare
they
should
goe
mad
:
as
also
that
they
may
lie
vpon
fresh
and
●oft
straw
after
that
they
haue
trauelled
:
they
must
also
be
sparingly
fed
,
thereby
to
make
them
the
more
fierce
vpon
the
pray
,
and
the
readier
to
course
,
and
he
shall
watch
with
his
Cros-bow
or
Pistoll
,
to
meet
with
some
wild
flesh
,
if
any
co●e
in
those
quarters
,
which
his
businesse
doth
draw
him
vnto
.
I
meane
therefore
that
the
Husbandman
should
haue
care
to
prouide
three
sorts
of
dogges
in
his
house
.
Three
sorts
of
dogges
needfull
about
a
country
〈◊〉
.
The
one
called
the
watch
dogge
,
to
discouer
the
secret
and
couert
conueyances
of
things
stolne
by
men
:
the
second
,
called
the
Shepheards
dogge
,
to
resist
the
injuries
and
outrages
offered
by
men
or
wild
beasts
,
and
to
driue
them
away
:
the
third
,
called
Hounds
,
or
Hunting-dogges
,
and
these
do●
not
bring
any
profit
to
the
Husbandman
,
but
rather
may
be
sayd
to
hinder
hi●
worke
,
and
keepe
him
from
his
businesse
.
But
I
will
onely
speake
of
those
which
are
for
the
keeping
of
the
house
and
cattell
,
and
reserue
the
hunting
dogge
for
to
intreat
of
in
our
seuenth
Booke
,
where
I
intend
to
speake
a
word
or
two
of
hunting
.
The
dogge
appointed
for
the
keeping
of
the
Farme
,
The
qualities
of
a
watch-dogge
.
must
be
of
grosse
and
great
corpulencie
,
hauing
his
bodie
well
and
square
compact
,
and
rather
short
than
long
.
Let
his
head
be
so
great
and
thicke
,
as
that
it
may
shew
to
be
the
greatest
part
of
his
bodie
,
his
countenance
somewhat
resembling
a
mans
,
his
throat
great
and
wide
,
thick
and
great
lips
hollowed
after
the
manner
of
valleys
,
his
necke
thicke
and
short
,
his
eares
great
and
hanging
,
his
eyes
blacke
or
Azure
,
fierie
,
and
sparkling
,
his
breast
broad
,
and
full
of
haire
,
his
taile
short
and
thicke
,
which
is
a
marke
of
strength
,
for
the
long
and
small
taile
is
onely
a
signe
of
swiftnesse
,
his
foot
and
nailes
great
,
his
barke
base
,
loud
,
and
fearefull
,
he
must
be
reasonably
fierce
,
for
the
gentle
doggs
doe
faune
vpon
theeues
,
and
the
ouer-fierce
would
not
let
to
leape
in
the
bosome
of
your
familiar
friends
,
and
seruants
:
especially
let
him
be
watchfull
,
&
keeping
good
guard
,
not
a
rouer
,
running
hither
and
thither
,
but
soone
satisfied
and
stayed
,
rather
than
actiue
and
busily
gadding
,
The
best
colours
of
Mastiues
.
he
must
also
be
blacke
,
to
the
end
he
may
be
more
terrible
vnto
the
thiefe
by
day
,
and
not
so
well
perceiued
of
him
by
night
;
or
if
he
be
blew
,
brended
,
or
a
darke
fallow
,
not
any
of
these
colours
are
amisse
,
but
shew
much
strength
,
valor
,
and
fiercenesse
,
and
are
commonly
the
best
breeds
of
all
others
,
as
is
to
be
seene
in
England
,
from
whence
France
hath
beene
onely
inriched
with
all
her
chiefest
Mastiues
.
The
Shepheards
dogge
needs
not
,
The
qualitie
of
the
Shepheards
dogge
.
nor
must
not
,
be
so
great
and
heauie
as
that
of
the
Farme
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
he
must
be
strong
and
lustie
,
and
somewhat
readie
and
light
:
for
he
is
vsed
both
for
fighting
and
running
;
intended
,
that
he
must
watch
and
hunt
away
the
Wolues
,
and
if
they
should
carrie
anie
thing
away
,
then
to
pursue
them
,
and
take
it
from
them
:
Wherefore
in
this
respect
it
were
better
that
he
should
be
long
made
rather
than
short
and
square
,
seeing
euerie
beast
of
a
long
bodie
is
more
fit
for
the
race
,
than
that
which
hath
a
short
and
square
bodie
.
He
must
be
of
a
white
colour
,
that
so
the
Shepheard
may
more
easily
discerne
him
from
amongst
the
Wolues
,
and
know
him
as
well
in
the
twylight
,
as
also
in
the
very
darkest
time
of
the
same
.
If
he
be
in
the
rest
of
his
limmes
like
vnto
the
house
dogge
,
he
cannot
chuse
but
be
a
good
one
.
The
meat
fit
for
dogges
.
Both
these
sorts
of
dogges
are
fed
with
like
meat
,
as
with
Wheaten
bread
,
the
flower
of
Barley
with
Whay
,
warme
broth
,
and
sodden
Beanes
.
The
time
for
dogs
and
bitches
to
engender
.
The
Shepheard
which
hath
this
charge
,
shall
not
let
either
Dogge
or
Bitch
engender
before
they
be
a
yeare
old
,
and
not
after
that
they
be
ten
yeares
old
.
He
shal
take
from
the
Bitch
her
first
litter
,
for
being
young
and
newly
acquainted
with
such
matters
,
she
should
not
feed
and
nourish
them
well
;
and
againe
,
such
her
feeding
of
them
would
hinder
her
in
her
grouth
euerie
manner
of
way
:
as
also
,
the
dogge
of
the
first
litter
is
of
a
feeble
and
weake
condition
,
and
for
the
most
part
subject
to
runne
madd
.
Sixe
moneths
after
the
Bitch
hath
whelped
,
he
shall
not
suffer
the
Whelpes
to
goe
forth
,
vntill
such
time
as
they
become
strong
,
except
it
be
onely
to
play
and
sport
themselues
with
their
damme

for
feare
that

attempting
to

or

The
ordering
of
Whelpes
.
they
doe
not
burst
and
beat
out
their
guts
.
He
shall
not
let
them
sucke
any
other
milke
but
that
of
their
owne
Bitch
,
and
if
it
happen
that
she
want
and
haue
not

they
shall
haue
Goats
milke
giuen
them
vntill
they
be
foure
moneths
old
:
he
shall
not
call
them
by
verie
long
name
,
The
names
of
dogges
.
that
so
assoone
as
they
be
called
they
may
know
that
they
are
called

And
againe
,
it
is
not
good
that
their
name
should
be
of
lesse
than
two
syllables
.
A
sinew
in
the
tailes
of
dogges

When
these
Whelpes
are
fortie
daies
old
,
he
shall
breake
the
tip
of
their
taile
,
and
shall
draw
out
a
sinew
that
runneth
along
the
joynts
of
the
backe
,
euen
vnto
the
end
of
the

,
this
will
keepe
them
from
growing
too
much
in

To
make
himselfe
followed
of

and
will
also
be
a

to

He
shall
make
his
dogges
come
after
him
,
and
the
meanes
to
doe
it
(
as
some
say
)
is
to
giue
them
now
and
then
some
boyled
froggs
to
eat
;
or
to
make
it
more
sure
to
giue
them

Salt

The
way
to

or
else
to
cast

peece

which
he
hath
kept
a
good
while
vnder
his
arme-pits
,
in
such
sort
as
that
it
be
a
little
moystened
with
the
sweat
of
them
,
or
else
to
let
them
smell
the
after-birth
of
another
Bitch
,
which
he
shall
haue
wrapped
vp
in
a
cloth
.
Likewise
he
shall
learne
some
peece
of
cunning
to
make
that
he
may
not
be
barked
at
,
nor
set
vpon
by
other
dogges
how
raging
soeuer
they
be

And
to
effect
this
,
he
shall
hold
in
his
hand
the
eye
of
a
blacke
dogge
pulled
from

He

by

and
yet
he
shall
beware

much
adoe
will
they
be
made
to
forsake
this
fault

if

they
haue
begun

He

frame
them

he

without

his

verie

The

and
paine
of

is
healed
and
cured
after
the
fame
〈◊〉
that
it
is
in
Sheepe
:
The
paine
of
the
thighs
.
notwithstanding
the
common
remedie
is
to
cause
them
to
take●
great
glasse
full
of
warme
Oyle
,
and
after
to
open

he
must
rub

For
to
kill
the
fleas
of
dogges
,
you
must
rub
them
with
Sea-water
,
or
with
〈◊〉
with
water
,
or
with
the
old

The

may
be
cured
by
the

remedies
,
which
we
haue
alreadie

Shut
vp
a

close
in
some
place
for
three
daies
,
in
such
sort
as
that
he
●ay
gnaw
nothing
but
bones
,
then
gather
his
dung
,
and
drie
it
:
the
powder
of
this
〈◊〉
is
good
against
all
bloudie
fluxes
,
if
it
be
taken
twice
a
day
with
milke
,

so
〈◊〉
for
the

of

to

This

likewise
is
verie
singular
in

those
that

CHAP.
XXVIII
.
Of
the
Carter
,
on
Horse-keeper
.
WE
haue
heretofore
spoken
of
such
liuing
creatures
as
are
for
the
profit
and
vse
of
men
inhabiting
Countrie
villages
:
in
that
which
followeth
we
will
speake
of
those
which
serue
not
onely
for
men
inhabiting
the
said
villages
,
but
also
for
them
which
inhabite
and
dwell
in
Cities
and
great
Townes
,
as
are
the
Horse
,
the
Mule
,
and
the
Asse
.
I
set
the
Horse
before
the
rest
,
as
being
seruiceable
for
the
Peasant
and
Countrie-drudge
,
and
also
affording
great
seruices
to
Nobles
,
Princes
,
Prelates
,
and
to
be
short
,
to
all
sorts
of
men
,
as
being
the
beast
which
is
peerelesse
,
for
his
comelinesse
,
beautie
,
courage
,
furniture
,
profit
,
and
commoditie
.
Therefore
(
I
say
)
let
the
Carter
or
Horse-keeper
,
to
whom
appertayneth
the
charge
of
Countrie
horse
,
be
a
sober
and
patient
man
,
louing
his
beasts
well
,
and
neuer
beating
them
:
but
well
may
he
acquaint
them
with
the
lash
,
the
whisking
noise
of
his
rod
,
with
his
speech
,
and
with
his
cal
:
let
them
not
at
any
time
labor
more
than
they
well
may
,
either
in
draught
or
trauell
,
let
him
currie
them
cherefully
and
merrily
euerie
morning
,
and
in
Sommer
sometimes
after
noone
:
he
must
not
giue
them
to
drinke
but
at
ordinarie
houres
,
and
after
their
rest
,
let
him
oftentimes
vse
to
wash
their
feet
in
Sommer
with
cold
water
,
and
sometime
with
wine
,
or
the
lees
of
wine
for
to
strengthen
them
withall
,
and
with
vrine
if
they
be
dulled
or
blunted
,
in
the
night
time
putting
of
their
owne
dung
in
the
hollow
or
sole
of
their
hoofe
:
and
if
they
be
chafed
or
heated
,
or
put
out
of
the
loue
and
desire
of
their
meat
,
he
must
wash
their
throat
with
Vinegar
and
Salt
:
let
him
not
giue
them
Hay
,
Prouender
,
Chaffe
,
Oats
,
A
farmer
must
know
the
worke
and
trade
of
a
fadler
and
farrier
.
or
Litter
,
before
they
be
verie
well
dusted
:
he
must
not
let
them
goe
without
shooes
or
nailes
:
and
let
him
be
carefull
that
their
traise
,
cart-saddles
,
collars
,
bridles
,
or
other
parts
of
their
geares
,
and
harnesse
,
be
not
torne
,
or
rent
,
or
rotten
.
He
must
also
know
to
sow
with
small
threed
,
packthreed
,
and
shoothreed
,
to
stuffe
and
make
fast
his
saddles
:
to
be
short
,
he
must
be
acquainted
with
the
Sadlers
trade
,
as
also
with
the
Farriers
,
and
therefore
he
must
neuer
be
vnprouided
of
his
budget
and
pouch
furnisht
with
tooles
and
necessaries
about
harnesse
and
saddles
,
nor
yet
of
his
yron
stuffe
for
his
beasts
feet
:
as
namely
needle
threed
and
silke
,
●●eame
to
let
bloud
with
,
knife
to
launce
and
cut
with
,
corner
,
buttrys
,
pincers
,
hammer
,
paring-yron
,
and
rape
,
he
must
also
haue
barnacles
,
pasternes
,
trauerses
,
and
colling-sheares
,
with
whatsoeuer
else
is
needfull
to
be
vsed
in
any
time
of
occasion
or
necessitie
.
He
must
be
verie
carefull
to
find
out
the
cause
when
he
seeth
any
one
of
his
Horses
halt
,
of
what
foot
it
is
,
and
in
what
place
of
the
foot
being
handled
or
tried
,
he
most
complayneth
himselfe
,
and
to
put
about
his
pasternes
sometimes
Spech-grase
,
and
sometimes
dung
.
He
must
also
take
great
heed
when
his
beast
doe
cast
the
old
hoofe
,
The
casting
of
hooues
.
and
haue
a
new
growing
,
and
cause
some
thing
to
be
giuen
him
for
the
helpe
of
the
growth
of
the
new
hoofe
,
and
when
he
hath
his
throat
heated
to
cause
him
to
be
couered
,
if
therewith
he
haue
the
cough
:
and
if
in
trauaile
he
haue
taken
cold
by
raine
or
tedious
weather
,
to
giue
him
then
to
eat
some
Fenugreeke
or
Anise-seed
amongst
his
prouender
:
to
change
him
when
he
is
past
age
:
and
also
to
take
acknowledgement
of
the
loue
that
one
Horse
beareth
towards
another
,
and
accordingly
to
set
them
one
by
another
in
the
Stable
appointed
for
them
,
To
make
clean●ehis
horse
stable
.
which
he
must
euerie
morning
may
cleane
in
Sommer
,
carrying
out
the
dung
and
filth
,
and
letting
none
remaine
,
and
at
night
giue
them
fresh
Litter
.
He
must
also
cast
an
eye
about
,
and
see
whether
his
horses
doe
grow
leane
or
no
,
and
then
to
fat
them
with
Fetches
boyled
in
water
,
and
mixed
amongst
their
Oats
,
as
also
with
millet
,
pannicke
,
rice
,
sodden
and
mingled
with
meale
of
Beanes
,
and
a
little
Salt
;
or
where
these
are
missing
,
to
take
good
sweet
Barley
chaffe
,
or
Pease
pulse
well
mixt
with
some
drie
Beanes
,
and
to
giue
him
thereof
good
store
after
euerie
watering
,
or
when
he
newly
commeth
from
his
labour
;
as
for
sodden
Barley
,
or
other
boyled
corne
,
they
are
onely
good
to
loosen
the
skinne
,
but
the
fat
which
they
gather
is
neuer
of
any
indurance
.
He
must
be
content
to
take
vp
his
lodging
in
the
stable
,
for
feare
of
their
falling
sicke
,
intangling
themselues
in
their
halters
,
and
growing
of
his
beasts
,
and
let
him
be
carefull
and
wise
in
ordering
and
placing
his
light
in
such
sort
,
as
that
it
may
be
out
of
daunger
,
and
to
locke
vp
and
keepe
his
harnesse
well
,
and
made
readie
ouer
night
〈◊〉
morning
,
that
so
when
he
is
to
returne
to
his
labour
into
the
field
,
he
be
〈…〉
of
any
thing
.
If
he
haue
any
Mules
or
young
Colts
,
he
must
put
them
by
〈…〉
,
and
reserue
them
for
some
other
labour
:
and
if
any
of
his
Horses
fall
sicke
,
if
it
be
not
of
wearinesse
,
dulnesse
,
or
chafing
,
he
must
put
him
out
from
among
the
rest
.
If
he
haue
any
Horse
that
hath
ill
propertie
or
fault
,
The
faults
of
Horses
.
he
shall
be
carefull
how
to
amend
it
,
as
if
he
be
fearefull
or
timerous
,
or
if
he
will
not
abide
while
one
getteth
vpon
his
backe
,
or
if
he
will
not
goe
by
or
into
any
place
,
he
shall
hang
within
his
〈◊〉
some
prettie
little
stone
:
and
if
this
doe
him
no
good
,
he
shall
hoodwinke
him
,
or
〈◊〉
behind
him
at
his
taile
some
flame
of
fire
,
or
some
sharpe
pricking
thing
;
if
he
w●●nie
much
,
he
shall
tie
to
his
head
a
stone
with
a
hole
through
it
:
if
when
a
man
is
vpon
his
backe
,
he
rise
and
come
aloft
,
he
shall
hit
him
with
his
rod
vpon
the
forelegges
:
if
he
lye
downe
,
he
must
be
raised
vp
againe
with
rough
words
and
strokes
:
if
he
goe
backward
,
you
shall
tye
a
cord
to
his
codds
,
which
shall
be
so
long
,
as
th●●
reaching
betwixt
his
forelegges
,
he
which
rideth
him
may
hold
it
in
his
hand
,
and
when
as
the
Horse
shall
goe
backward
,
A
Horse
going
backward
.
he
shall
pull
it
hard
with
his
hand
to
make
him
goe
forward
,
for
so
without
all
doubt
he
will
goe
forthright
,
and
amend
his
fault
:
if
the
Horse
be
gelded
,
he
must
beat
his
thighs
with
a
long
staffe
taken
out
of
the
fire
verie
hot
,
and
burnt
at
the
end
:
or
he
shall
giue
him
feele
of
his
whisking
rodd
betwixt
his
eares
:
if
the
Horse
be
hard
to
shooe
,
and
troublesome
to
handle
and
dresse
in
the
stable
,
he
shall
put
in
one
or
both
of
his
eares
a
little
round
pebble
,
and
there
make
it
sure
with
one
or
both
his
hands
,
and
keepe
them
in
his
eares
,
and
thus
he
shall
make
him
as
gentle
and
meeke
as
a
Lambe
.
It
is
also
the
Carters
part
to
gouerne
his
heard
of
Mares
and
Colts
carefully
,
th●●
no
inconuenience
may
befall
them
:
he
shall
put
them
to
feed
,
and
shall
send
the●
to
grasse
when
it
shall
be
due
time
,
and
that
in
large
and
marish
grounds
.
Notwithstanding
marish
ground
doth
soften
their
hoofe
verie
much
,
and
maketh
them
tender
sighted
,
and
begetteth
water
in
their
feet
:
and
for
this
cause
I
could
like
the
high
and
hillie
grounds
better
,
being
such
as
from
time
to
time
haue
raine
or
〈◊〉
dropping
downe
vpon
them
,
and
not
drie
at
any
time
,
and
such
as
are
rather
voi●
and
free
,
than
incombred
with
wood
or
other
bodies
of
trees
or
legges
:
and
yet
further
,
hauing
a
soft
and
sweet
grasse
,
rather
than
a
high
,
great
,
and
strong
grasse
.
And
notwithstanding
that
Mares
be
not
so
frolicke
nor
couragious
as
Horses
be
,
yet
they
goe
beyond
them
farre
in
the
race
,
and
stand
it
out
a
great
deale
longer
;
and
againe
,
they
are
not
so
chargeable
to
keepe
as
Horses
are
,
for
they
are
not
fed
with
the
best
hay
,
they
content
themselues
to
run
in
pastures
all
the
yeare
long
:
true
it
is
,
that
in
Winter
,
and
when
the
ground
is
all
couered
with
snow
,
as
also
in
the
time
of
continuall
raine
,
they
must
be
put
in
some
one
house
or
other
,
and
giue
them
such
Hay
as
is
good
to
eat
,
and
in
Sommer
to
keepe
them
in
some
good
coole
shadow●●
place
,
and
well
growne
with
good
Grasse
,
and
serueth
with
cleare
waters
:
but
n●uer
vpon
the
rough
and
ragged
mountaines
,
as
well
for
that
they
doe
hardly
feed
there
,
as
also
because
that
such
as
are
with
foale
can
hardly
clime
without
great
paine
,
not
come
downe
without
endangering
themselues
to
cast
their
Colts
.
The
co●●ring
of
Mares
.
You
shall
not
suffer
the
Mare
to
take
Horse
ofter
than
euerie
two
yeare
,
according
to
the
opinio●
of
the
curious
Horsemen
;
but
yet
the
better
experienced
allow
the
conueying
of
Mar●s
euerie
yeare
,
for
it
keepeth
the
wombe
open
,
and
giueth
the
Foale
a
large
bed
to
lye
in
,
to
keepe
and
breed
of
the
best
kind
,
and
race
,
and
not
to
bring
in
a
base
and
degenerate
kind
:
againe
,
to
see
that
it
be
d●ne
about
mid
March
▪
to
the
end
,
that
at
the
same
time
that
the
Mares
were
couered
and
horsed
,
they
may
easily
feed
their
Colts
,
hauing
tender
and
soft
grasse
after
Haruest
:
for
about
the
end
of
the
eleuenth
or
twelfth
moneth
they
foale
,
and
so
their
milke
is
the
faster
,
better
conditioned
,
begetteth
also
and
nourisheth
fairer
Colts
,
and
such
as
thriue
euen
as
we
our selues
would
wish
.
The
Stalions
also
thus
attended
are
the
stronger
,
and
doe
more
abound
with
a
well
concocted
and
slimie
nature
,
and
not
with
a
thinne
and
waterie
,
and
withall
,
they
couer
them
with
more
courage
,
and
beget
greater
Colts
,
and
such
as
are
more
hardie
and
strong
.
The
signes
of
the
Mares
being
readie
to
take
Horse
.
He
shall
know
that
the
Mares
are
readie
to
take
Horse
,
when
they
yeeld
a
whitish
humor
at
the
place
of
generation
,
and
that
their
priuie
parts
are
more
swolne
than
they
were
wont
to
be
,
as
also
more
hot
than
ordinarie
,
and
eat
not
so
much
as
they
were
wont
.
He
shall
let
her
take
Horse
twice
a
day
,
euening
and
morning
,
before
he
let
her
drinke
;
and
this
shall
be
continued
but
tenne
daies
:
which
past
,
if
she
refuse
him
,
he
shall
put
her
aside
as
with
foale
,
and
shall
take
away
the
Horse
,
least
with
his
furious
rage
he
make
her
that
she
doe
not
conceiue
.

but
he
may
continue
good
till
he
be
twentie
yeare
old
.
The
Mare
is
fit
to
take
Horse
when
she
is
two
yeares
old
,
that
so
being
three
by
her
foaling
time
,
she
may
be
able
to
feed
it
well
:
but
she
is
nothing
worth
for
this
purpose
after
she
is
once
tenne
yeares
old
:
for
Horses
begotten
of
an
old
Mare
are
loose
and
heauie
.
One
good
Horse
is
ynough
for
twentie
Mares
:
which
,
at
such
time
as
he
is
to
couer
them
,
must
be
well
fed
,
and
when
the
time
approcheth
,
must
be
fatted
with
Barly
,
Fetches
,
and
Ciches
,
to
the
end
he
may
the
better
serue
for
the
purpose
:
for
the
stronger
and
more
disposed
he
shall
be
to
couer
them
,
the
stronger
will
the
Colts
be
which
he
begetteth
.
If
he
haue
no
courage
,
but
be
feeble
and
out
of
heart
,
you
must
rub
the
secret
parts
of
the
Mare
with
a
new
and
cleane
spunge
,
and
after
rub
the
muzzle
of
the
stalion
with
the
same
:
If
the
Mare
will
not
admit
the
Horse
,
you
must
bruise
a
Sea-Onion
,
and
rub
her
secret
part
therewith
,
for
this
will
warme
her
:
And
to
haue
a
Horse
of
the
colour
that
you
would
desire
,
couer
the
Mare
with
a
couering
of
the
same
colour
,
at
such
time
as
the
Horse
shall
couer
her
.
The
Mare
whereof
we
desire
to
haue
a
good
race
,
A
Mare
for
breed
.
must
not
be
vnder
two
yeares
old
,
as
hath
beene
said
,
nor
aboue
tenne
or
twelue
;
and
vnderstand
withall
,
that
being
of
a
colder
complexion
than
Horses
,
so
she
faileth
before
them
in
that
worke
:
she
must
be
well
made
of
bodie
,
broad
spread
toward
one
,
hauing
a
comely
and
pleasant
looke
,
her
flanke
and
rumpe
large
,
well
fed
,
but
a
little
leane
,
to
the
end
that
she
may
hold
her
horsing
the
better
:
that
she
haue
not
trauelled
of
a
long
time
:
that
she
beare
not
but
euerie
two
yeares
,
to
the
end
she
may
the
better
feed
her
Colt
.
When
she
is
with
Colt
,
you
must
feed
her
well
,
you
must
not
trauell
or
runne
her
,
nor
leaue
her
to
the
extremitie
of
the
Cold
,
but
keepe
her
in
house
when
it
raineth
and
snoweth
,
and
as
long
as
anie
great
cold
weather
is
,
that
so
she
may
the
better
bring
forth
a
perfect
Colt
.
The
Marereadie
to
foale
If
the
Mare
be
in
foaling
,
or
that
she
hath
cast
her
Colt
,
you
must
bruise
Polipodie
,
and
mingling
it
with
warme
water
,
cause
her
to
drinke
it
with
a
horne
.
The
Mare
that
doth
foale
.
If
she
haue
foaled
well
,
you
may
not
touch
her
Colt
with
your
hand
,
for
and
if
you
touch
it
neuer
so
little
,
you
hurt
it
.
So
soone
as
she
hath
foaled
in
the
house
,
you
must
succour
her
with
drinks
of
warme
water
,
mingling
salt
therewith
and
meale
also
both
euening
and
morning
,
for
the
space
of
three
daies
at
the
least
:
after
this
,
you
must
giue
her
good
Hay
and
sufficient
Corne
,
keepe
her
cleane
with
good
Litter
,
that
so
she
may
rest
at
ease
;
for
this
her
good
feeding
doth
cause
her
Colt
to
prosper
,
and
strengtheneth
it
.
After
that
the
Colt
is
foaled
,
To
order
a
〈◊〉
new
〈◊〉
.
it
must
be
left
with
the
Mare
in
a
warme
and
wide
place
,
to
the
end
that
cold
may
not
hurt
it
,
neither
yet
the
Mare
,
by
reason
of
the
straitnesse
of
the
place
:
and
when
it
shall
be
stronger
,
it
shall
be
accustomed
to
eat
Hay
,
to
the
end
that
the
dams
milke
failing
,
it
may
haue
learned
to
feed
vpon
a
firmer
nourishment
:
but
it
shall
be
let
run
with
the
Mare
in
the
pasture
,
that
so
she
may
not
mourne
for
lacke
of
the
sight
of
her
Colt
:
for
commonly
Mares
are
sicke
for
the
loue
of
their
colts
,
if
they
cannot
see
them
.
When
it
shall
be
eighteene
moneths
old
,
you
shall
begin
to
waine
it
,
and
put
it
in
the
house
built
for
col●s
,
afterward
you
shall
●ame
it
,
putting
a
halter
about
the
necke
,
and
that
rather
of
wooll
than
of
coard
,
that
so
it
may
not
feele
any
hard
thing
to
annoy
it
:
and
if
it
will
not
abide
to
be
tied
,
you
must
make
it
fast
with
two
thongs
of
leather
or
of
hempe
,
or
with
a
bridle
〈◊〉
the
manger
,
that
so
it
may
be
acquainted
with
touching
and
handling
,
and
that
so
also
it
may
learne
not
to
be
afraid
of
any
noise
that
shall
be
made
:
it
will
be
good
also
to
set
it
amongst
others
that
are
alreadie
tamed
,
for
seeing
them
so
haltred
,
it
will
at
length
accustome
it selfe
to
subjection
:
as
yet
you
must
speake
it
faire
,
and
touch
it
with
your
hand
,
sometimes
rubbing
the
backe
,
head
,
or
bellie
,
and
sometimes
the
numpe
,
legges
,
and
feet
,
sometimes
raising
it
vp
,
making
it
cleane
,
and
rubbing
it
verie
mildly
and
gently
;
to
be
short
,
making
so
much
of
it
,
as
vntill
it
become
so
tame
that
it
know
the
boy
or
horseman
that
currieth
it
,
and
the
rider
that
must
backe
it
,
and
withall
vnderstand
their
words
and
voyces
,
and
smelling
him
,
to
know
him
before
he
get
vpon
him
:
sometimes
you
shall
set
a
child
vpon
the
backe
,
to
the
end
he
may
learne
to
endure
to
beare
one
;
giue
it
good
hay
and
good
grasse
:
lead
it
to
water
with
one
alreadie
managed
and
fitted
to
the
hand
:
after
it
hath
drunke
,
giue
it
Oats
,
at
euening
straw
it
with
litter
vp
to
the
knees
,
and
in
the
morning
rubbe
the
legges
and
the
whole
bodie
with
the
same
litter
,
and
after
lead
it
to
drinke
.
When
it
is
three
yeares
old
,
you
must
breake
and
acquaint
and
fit
it
for
such
worke
as
you
shall
thinke
meet
.
As
for
example
,
if
you
would
appoint
it
and
make
it
serue
you
sometimes
to
take
a
journey
vpon
,
I
could
wish
you
to
giue
it
a
burning
with
fire
vpon
the
legges
:
To
burne
the
colt
with
a
hot
yron
.
and
this
you
shall
commit
to
the
doing
of
some
skilfull
Farrier
,
especially
in
the
Spring
,
Autumne
,
and
decrease
of
the
Moone
,
and
at
such
time
as
these
young
horse
are
full
two
yeares
old
:
and
this
must
be
done
as
wel
in
the
legs
before
as
behind
:
such
course
of
burning
doth
harden
and
strengthen
their
loose
flesh
,
being
soft
and
not
close
set
together
,
it
doth
bring
downe
that
which
is
puffed
vp
:
it
drieth
that
which
hath
much
moisture
in
it
:
it
dissolueth
that
which
is
gathered
together
,
it
burneth
away
and
wasteth
rottennesse
if
there
be
any
,
and
healeth
old
aches
,
curing
and
restoring
the
declined
parts
of
the
bodie
,
lessening
that
which
is
growne
too
great
,
and
not
suffering
it
to
grow
any
further
.
Add
hereunto
,
that
the
scabbe
,
farcie
,
and
other
malanders
accustomed
to
seise
vpon
their
leggs
,
cannot
haue
the
power
to
breed
vpon
them
.
After
you
haue
thus
burnt
them
with
a
knobd
hot
yron
,
carrie
them
to
pasture
,
and
that
at
such
an
houre
,
as
when
the
deaw
is
vpon
the
grasse
:
for
so
it
will
doe
them
a
great
deale
more
good
than
any
thing
that
a
man
can
giue
vnto
them
in
the
stable
,
for
so
also
you
shall
cause
that
〈◊〉
of
the
burnings
shall
appeare
lesse
,
and
that
if
they
shew
at
all
,
that
yet
it
shall
be
with
good
setting
out
of
the
legge
.
As
for
that
retained
opinion
amongst
our
Frenchmen
,
that
the
slitting
of
a
horses
nosthrils
when
they
are
full
growne
,
will
make
them
fit
for
the
course
or
race
,
as
being
an
occasion
of
more
libertie
to
his
wind
,
or
that
it
will
helpe
a
broken
winded
horse
,
it
is
a
me●re
fallacie
and
deception
,
and
hath
no
such
vertue
at
all
,
but
rather
worketh
the
contrarie
,
and
by
dismembring
the
organ
or
instrument
whereby
he
draweth
vp
the
aire
,
doth
breed
in
him
a
greater
difficultie
of
breathing
,
the
painefulnesse
whereof
may
be
perceiued
when
he
standeth
still
without
any
trouble
or
molestation
,
therefore
I
would
haue
all
horse-groomes
to
forbeare
the
practise
,
and
to
hold
it
rather
a
disgrace
than
any
benefit
,
for
it
is
to
be
vnderstood
,
that
nature
hath
made
euerie
thing
perfect
without
want
or
super●luitie
,
and
to
alter
any
thing
in
her
maine
workmanship
,
is
rather
to
ouerthrow
than
helpe
the
building
.
If
you
will
geld
them
and
make
them
Geldings
,
that
so
they
may
liue
the
more
quietly
amongst
Mares
and
other
Horses
,
as
also
for
the
●itting
of
them
which
desire
peaceable
Horses
,
you
may
doe
it
,
but
not
before
they
be
a
full
yeare
old
,
because
that
then
their
secret
parts
doe
openly
shew
themselues
,
and
for
the
better
performance
thereof
,
it
were
better
to
writh
about
and
mortifie
their
codds
altogether
with
pincers
,
than
to
geld
them
all
at
once
,
notwithstanding
they
be
of
full
and
sufficient
age
▪
〈◊〉
in
gelding
of
them
,
maine
doe
die
of
extreame
paine
,
because
you
take
all
away
〈◊〉
them
;
but
if
they
die
not
,
yet
they
remaine
weakened
and
〈◊〉
both
in
〈◊〉
and
strength
:
whereas
if
you
pinch
them
onely
with
Pincers
,
they
are
not
one●●
free
from
all
perill
of
loosing
their
life
,
but
also
continue
the
more
bold
,
there
re●ining
vnto
them
some
small
parts
of
the
cords
and
sinewes
of
the
generati●e
〈◊〉
Yet
other
of
the
best
French
horsemen
doe
affirme
,
That
to
geld
a
Colt
cleane
,
〈◊〉
way
of
incision
and
calterizing
,
is
the
best
course
that
can
be
taken
,
and
maketh
them
tendder
sinest
shaped
and
best
mettalled
Gelding
:
for
(
say
they
)
when
anie
of
the
cords
〈◊〉
strings
of
generation
are
left
behind
,
then
the
Gelding
proues
rammish
,
Mare●●●od
,
foule
headed
,
thicke
neckt
,
and
grossely
crested
.
And
of
this
opinion
are
all
〈◊〉
English
Horsemen
:
to
whom
we
must
yeeld
,
because
they
are
knowne
to
be
Ma●●●s
of
the
onely
Geldings
of
the
world
;
and
those
of
whom
we
most
boast
,
we
haue
〈◊〉
from
them
,
either
by
gift
or
purchase
.
Therefore
I
leaue
to
the
skilfull
Groome
〈◊〉
consideration
of
this
action
,
to
chuse
that
to
which
he
stands
most
affected
.
Furthermore
,
cause
him
to
be
curried
by
a
seruant
pertaining
and
belonging
to
〈◊〉
businesses
:
and
being
wise
,
gentle
,
and
louing
,
that
so
by
such
his
gentlenesse
it
〈◊〉
be
preuented
and
fore●eene
,
that
the
young
Colt
doe
not
learne
ill
manners
,
〈◊〉
it
is
so
difficult
a
thing
to
take
from
them
but
one
ill
qualitie
,
after
that
they
be
〈◊〉
therein
.
And
in
this
respect
it
behoueth
all
the
seruants
about
the
Stable
handle
them
kindly
,
and
speake
gently
vnto
their
Horses
,
thereby
to
make
them
〈◊〉
and
loue
them
the
better
.
And
by
such
meanes
and
carriage
it
is
wrought
,
〈◊〉
they
suffer
themselues
to
be
gouerned
:
that
they
suffer
meat
to
be
giuen
them
,
〈◊〉
anie
man
to
lead
them
to
drinke
:
that
they
suffer
themselues
to
be
handled
,
tou●●ed
,
curried
:
to
haue
their
clothes
put
vpon
their
backes
,
either
the
Linnen
one
to
〈◊〉
the
Flies
away
,
or
else
the
Woollen
one
to
keepe
them
warme
:
and
that
they
〈◊〉
him
to
make
the
same
fast
with
a
Sur●ingle
,
for
the
better
keeping
of
them
on
〈◊〉
the
morning
,
when
they
are
to
be
new
curried
againe
.
There
must
all
Litter
be
〈◊〉
from
vnder
them
,
the
cleane
and
whole
thrust
vnder
the
Manger
,
the
foule
and
〈◊〉
,
together
with
the
dung
,
being
carried
out
to
the
appointed
dunghill

neuer

to

,
nor
yet
to
haue
it
furnished
with
all
man●●●
of
necessaries
,
and
euerie

in
his

.
Yet
this
euer
by
the
way
is
to
be
vn●●rstood
,
that
as
soone
as
you
haue
cleansed
your
Stable
cleane
;
drest
your
Horse
,
〈◊〉
him
,
and
giuen
him
such
prouender
as
you
thinke
meet
for
him

that
then
,
〈◊〉
you
leaue
him
to

you
forget
not
to
put
downe
his
Litter
about
him
,
〈◊〉
at
his
pleasure
he
may
lye
downe
and
take
his

,
which
is
to
anie
Horse
as

a
reliefe
as
anie
whatsoeuer
;
giuing
much
comfort
to
his
limbes
and

,
making
swi●t
digestion
,
and
adding
such
strength
and
courage
to
his
heart
〈◊〉
vitall
spirits
,
that
he
is
thereby
a
great
deale
the
better
enabled
to
endure
his
la●●ur
,
and
lesse
apt
to
take
surfets
,
and
other
mischiefes
,
much
incident
to
Horses
:
●here
on
the
contrarie
,
when
Horses
are
compelled
to
stand
all
day
on
the
bare
〈◊〉
anchers
,
out
of
a
foolish
receiued
opinion
,
to
make

hard
and
of

endu●●nce
,
the
Horse
taking
no

to
lye
downe

humors
descends
into

And
as
I
would
〈◊〉
you
carefull
thus
to
keepe

vnder

so
also
I
would
haue

〈◊〉
such

keepe

more

g●ueth

some

with
a
●●●odly
and
well-raised
fore-head
,
yet
it
brings
lamenesse
,
and
is
therefore
euermore
〈◊〉
be
eschewed
.
When
as
the
Horses
are
in
currying
,
it
is
meet
that
they
should
be
●●ed
and
made
fast
vnto
some
high
barre
set
vpright
,
that
so
they
might
haue
their
●●ads
holden
on
high
,
and
then
after
that
to
currie
all
their
bodie
,
to
rub
them
with
a
cloth
,
to
bath
with
spunges
well
,
in
verie
coole
water
,
their
head
,
eyes
,
lippes
,
〈◊〉
,
iawes
,
nosthrils
,
m●●e
,
and
taile
,
and
afterward
to
combe
them
verie
diligently
:
〈◊〉
when
this
is
done
,
to
rub
all
their
bodies
ouer
,
but
especially
their
legges
and
〈◊〉
,
with
wispes
of
straw
,
well
bound
and
trussed
together
:
for
otherwise
〈◊〉
will
grow
full
of
the
Farcie
through
the
slouthfulnesse
of
the
seruants
and
the
〈◊〉
himselfe
.
Aboue
all
things
,
they
must
be
looked
vnto
whether
they
lacke
anie
〈◊〉
about
their
feet
,
or
no
:
seeing
that
oftentimes
the
want
but
of
one
naile
is
the
〈◊〉
that
a
Horse
casteth
his
shooe
in
the
mid
way
,
to
the
great
preiudice
of
the
〈◊〉
beast
,
which
sometimes
thereby
is
in
danger
of
losing
his
whole
foot
,
especially
〈◊〉
he
trauelleth
in
anie
rough
and
stonie
ground
:
for
a
Horse
that
hath
lost
his
〈◊〉
and
goeth
vnshod
,
hurteth
himselfe
in
a
minute
of
an
houre
,
and
so
spoileth
his
〈◊〉
as
that
it
is
oftentimes
seene
to
be
quite
lost
,
or
at
least
to
become
vnfit
for
〈◊〉
▪
And
when
your
Horse
is
thus
curried
,
spunged
,
rubbed
,
and
well
smoothed
,
〈◊〉
●uerie
offence
about
him
pickt
,
trimmed
,
and
taken
away
,
you
shall
then
cloth
〈◊〉
with
such
clothes
as
are
necessarie
for
his
health
,
and
answerable
to
the
time
and
〈…〉
of
the
yeare
,
as
either
with
double
Clothes
,
single
Clothes
,
lined
Clothes
,
〈◊〉
,
Linnen
,
or
both
together
;
vsing
most
in
the
Winter
,
fewer
in
the
Spring
,
〈◊〉
fewest
of
all
in
the
Summer
.
Yet
for
a
better
satisfaction
,
and
that
you
may
〈◊〉
know
what
number
or
quantitie
of
clothes
you
shall
vse
,
you
shall
view
well
〈◊〉
of
your
Horses
bodie
,
and
looke
carefully
how
his
haire
lyeth
,
especially
vpon
〈◊〉
necke
,
and
other
outward
parts
which
are
vnclothed
,
and
if
you
perceiue
that
〈◊〉
of
those
places
the
haire
standeth
vpright
,
s●areth
,
or
looks
rugged
,
then
you
〈◊〉
be
assured
that
the
Horse
wanteth
clothes
,
and
is
inwardly
cold
at
the
heart
:
the
〈◊〉
you
shall
then
encrease
his
clothes
,
and
not
cease
so
to
doe
,
till
you
haue
〈◊〉
his
haire
to
lie
straight
and
smooth
;
which
once
perceiued
,
then
you
may
be
〈…〉
that
he
is
sufficiently
clad
:
and
you
shall
by
no
meanes
exceed
anie
〈◊〉
▪
Now
when
you
begin
thus
to
encrease
your
Clothes
,
if
you
shall
find
when
〈◊〉
come
to
your
Horse
early
in
the
morning
,
that
he
●weateth
much
,
especially
in
〈◊〉
flanks
,
at
his
●are-roots
,
and
in
such
like
vsuall
places
,
yet
notwithstanding
his
〈◊〉
still
stareth
;
you
shall
then
know
,
that
such
sweating
is
but
a
faint
naughtie
〈◊〉
gendred
by
corruption
of
food
,
or
else
want
of
moderate
and
wholesome
〈◊〉
and
therefore
by
no
meanes
shall
you
abate
anie
of
his
clothes
,
but
rather
〈◊〉
them
,
till
that
naughtie
faint
sweat
leaue
him
.
But
if
you
perceiue
that
his
haire
〈…〉
smooth
and
cleane
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
he
sweateth
,
then
you
shall
know
〈◊〉
his
clothes
are
somewhat
too
manie
,
and
you
shall
abate
them
till
such
sweating
〈◊〉
him
.
This
is
a
most
infallible
rule
,
and
such
a
secret
as
is
worthie
to
be
〈◊〉
in
the
mind
of
euerie
good
Horseman
and
Groome
that
intends
to
keepe
their
〈◊〉
sound
and
well
prepared
for
all
manner
of
labour
.
The
Horses
dressed
and
〈◊〉
as
they
should
be
,
and
hauing
eaten
a
little
Hay
,
must
be
led
to
water
,
other
ridden
forth
a
myle
or
more
to
their
water
;
which
would
euer
be
some
〈◊〉
Spring
or
running
Riuer
:
where
,
after
your
Horse
hath
taken
one
good
draugh●
two
,
●xercise
after
water
.
you
shall
bring
him
forth
into
some
plaine
ground
,
and
there
gallop
him
〈◊〉
vp
and
downe
(
to
warme
the
water
in
his
bellie
)
a
little
space
,
and
then
bring
〈◊〉
to
the
water
againe
,
and
let
him
take
another
draught
,
then
gallop
him
againe
,
〈◊〉
thus
doe
till
he
will
drinke
no
more
,
and
then
with
all
gentlenesse
walke
him
〈◊〉
and
softly
home
to
the
Stable
,
and
there
cloth
him
vp
.
This
manner
of
〈…〉
your
Horse
is
of
all
other
the
most
wholesome
,
giuing
vnto
him
by
this
〈…〉
great
strength
both
of
wind
and
bodie
,
and
also
dissoluing
all
those
〈◊〉
cold
,
and
tough
humors
,
which
are
ingendred
by
the
corruption
of
water
when
taken
without
exercise
,
and
lyeth
cold
and
troublesome
in
his
bodie
,
making
〈◊〉
Horse
to
quake
and
tremble
;
as
anie
man
may
perceiue
,
when
at
anie
time
he
〈◊〉
to
approue
the
same
,
and
hauing
giuen
his
Horse
water
,
will
but
lay
his
hand
〈◊〉
on
his
bodie
or
buttocke
:
But
this
I
haue
alreadie
spoken
is
at
full
sufficient
〈◊〉
a
Horses
watering
.
From
whence
when
they
are
returned
,
they
shall
〈◊〉
Oates
giuen
them
well
sifted
and
fanned
,
and
they
shall
be
marked
whether
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
or
not
,
that
,
if
need
be
,
they
may
be
looked
in
the
month
,
to
see
whether
there
be
〈◊〉
thing
to
keepe
them
from
eating
,
or
no
,
and
accordingly
to
take
them
in
cure
,
or
〈◊〉
:
for
the
common
prouerbe
is
,
A
Prouerbe
.
That
Horses
goe
vpon
their
feet
,
but
it
is
their
meat
〈◊〉
doth
vphold
them
,
and
cause
them
to
endure
trauell
.
It
is
meet
also
to
giue
them
●●metimes
some
rare
and
daintie
thing
which
may
please
them
,
and
may
be
more
than
●rdinarie
;
for
it
is
all
one
as
when
one
doth
make
them
so
gentle
,
tractable
,
and
●ame
,
〈◊〉
that
afterward
they
will
suffer
themselues
to
be
gouerned
easily
:
to
vse
them
kindly
〈◊〉
,
and
not
to
beat
them
,
to
torment
them
,
or
cast
them
into
feare
with
high
speeches
〈◊〉
threatening
words
,
or
else
by
anie
other
meanes
,
so
long
as
they
be
in
the
Stable
:
〈◊〉
rather
to
handle
them
with
all
meeknesse
,
as
well
in

as
in
touching

,
in
what
manner
soeuer
it
be
.
To
fit
the
Colt
for
the
Saddle
,
To
breake
,
or
first
backe
the
Colt
.
the
good
Rider
must
first
put
vpon
his
head
a
〈◊〉
,
with
a
Rouler
of
Wood
,
not
attempting
to
doe
anie
other
thing
at
that
time
,
and
〈◊〉
to
leaue
him
for
two
or
three
houres
vpon
the
reines
,
being
of
cords
,
and
after
such
〈◊〉
to
take
all
away
for
that
day
:
the
next
day
,
somewhat
late
,
to
put
it
on
againe
,
〈…〉
so
to
leaue
it
for
some
certaine
time
:
afterward
taking
him
by
his

he
must

drawing

〈◊〉
thence

sometime
walking

staying

still
vpon

according

he
shall
see
it
good

that
is

according
to
the
stubbornenesse
〈◊〉
frowardnesse

the
easinesse
and
gentlenesse
of
the
Colt

So
soone
as
he
is

The

handling

alwaies
louingly

This
is
the
accustomable
vse
of
some
of

by

more

The
best
handling

obedient

led
forth

ordered
as

a

being
well
gyrt
on

they
in
the

cause
him
to

forth
in
the

may
be

those

now
and
then
shaking
his
rod
ouer
the
Colts
head
,
to
make
him
heare
the
noise
thereof
,
and
ever
and
anon
as
the
Colt
is
thus
led
vp
and
downe
,
the
Rider
shall
with
his
bridle
hand
stop
him
,
make
him
stand
still
,
and
cherish
him
,
then
cause
him
to
be
led
forward
againe
,
and
as
the
Colt
growes
more
and
more
willing
to
goe
forward
,
so
the
Groome
shall
withdraw
his
hand
more
and
more
from
the
Colts
head
,
and
loosen
the
chasse
halter
,
insomuch
,
that
the
Colt
may

of
the
Groomes
leading
him

but
may
goe
forward
by
the
helpe
and
●●couragement
of
the
Rider
onely
:
then
shall
the
Groome
giue
the
reine
of
the
〈◊〉
halter
into
the
Riders
hands
,
and
he
shall
make
the
Colt
goe
forward
,
euer
and
〈◊〉
cherishing
him
when
he
doth
according
to
his
desire
,
and
giuing
him
threatening
words
when
he
doth
the
contrarie
.
Thus
shall
he
labour
and
apply
the
Colt
,
till
〈◊〉
will
goe
forward
willingly
,
gently
,
and
with
courage
,
according
to
his
desire
,
the
Rider
euer
obseruing
,
as
neere
as
he
can
,
to
make
the
Colt
goe
straight
forth-right
,
and
by
no
meanes
to
turne
or
twynd
him
about
anie
way
,
contrarie
to
his
owne
will
,
but
for
this
first
day
to
giue
him
leaue
to
goe
which
way
he
will
,
not
expecting
〈◊〉
him
anie
other
obedience
,
than
to
goe
forward
in
either
pace
or
trot
when
the
〈◊〉
pleaseth
,
and
also
to
stand
still
and
firme
when
at
anie
time
he
shall
be
restrain●●
.
This
worke
being
brought
to
passe
the
first
day
,
the
Rider
shall
in
the
field
〈◊〉
from
the
Colts
backe
,
and
hauing
cherisht
him
much
,
and
giuen
him
a
little
Gr●●●
or
Bread
to
eat
,
he
shall
deliuer
him
to
the
Groome
,
who
with
all
gentlenesse
sha●●
lead
him
home
,
and
there
dresse
him
,
cloth
him
,
and
feed
him
well
.
The
next
day
the
Colt
being
●adled
and
bridled
as
aforesaid
,
the
Groome
shall
lead
him
forth
〈◊〉
the
former
place
,
and
there
the
Rider
shall
take
his
backe
as
he
did
the
day
before
,
and
in
all
points
shall
make
the
Colt
perfectly
repeat
ouer
his
first
daies
lesson
:
which
when
he
hath
done
very
willingly
and
obediently
,
without
compulsion
or
resistance
,
then
the
Groome
shall
mount
the
backe
of
some
old
staunch
Horse
or
Gelding
,
and
leading
the
way
before
the
Colt
,
shall
trot
faire
and
softly
round
about
the
field
,
stopping
his
Gelding
as
oft
as
the
Rider
stoppeth
the
Colt
,
then
goe
forward
againe
,
sometimes
leading
the
way
before
the
Colt
,
and
sometimes
riding
cheeke
by
ioll
by
the
Colt
,
till
he
be
brought
to
such
perfectnesse
,
that
he
will
take
his
way
forward
how
or
which
way
the
Rider
pleaseth
:
then
they
shall
ride
gently
home
,
and
there
light
neere
vnto
the
Stable
dore
,
and
so
set
vp
the
Colt
,
cloth
him
,
dresse
,
and
feed
him
.
Then
the
third
day
the
Rider
shall
take
the
Colts
back
at
the
Stable
dore
,
and
the
Groome
his
Geldings
back
,
and
so
ride
forth
into
some
plaine
High
way
▪
the
smoother
the
better
,
the
Gelding
leading
the
way
to
the
Colt
,
and
let
them
so
ride
straight
forth-right
at
least
two
myles
or
more
,
stopping
sundrie
times
,
and
cherishing
the
Colt
,
and
then
gently
returne
home
,
the
Colt
sometimes
leading
the
way
,
and
●ometimes
the
Gelding
,
and
alighting
at
the
Stable
dore
as
before
,
set
vp
the
Colt
,
dresse
him
,
and
feed
him
:
And
thus
if
you
doe
twice
or
thrice
in
this
third
day
,
it
shall
be
so
much
the
better
.
The
fourth
day
the
Rider
shall
take
out
the
Colt
,
and
the
Groome
the
Gelding
,
but
the
Colt
shall
then
lead
the
way
,
and
the
Gelding
shall
follow
,
onely
now
and
then
,
to
giue
the
Colt
encouragement
,
the
Gelding
shall
come
and
ride
vp
to
the
face
of
the
Colt
,
and
then
eftsoones
fall
back
behind
him
againe
.
This
day
you
shall
,
in
a
large
spacious
compasse
,
trot
the
Colt
round
,
first
on
the
one
hand
,
then
on
the
other
,
making
him
bend
and
come
about
,
according
to
the
bowing
of
your
bodie
,
or
the
turning
in
of
your
hand
,
and
in
euerie
motion
make
your selfe
master
of
whatsoeuer
he
doth
,
giuing
him
a
true
vnderstanding
,
that
what
he
doth
,
is
your
will
,
and
not
his
pleasure
:
and
withall
,
by
no
meanes
forgetting
to
cherish
him
when
he
doth
well
;
not
after
,
but
euen
in
the
instant
and
presentnesse
of
time
,
when
he
performeth
your
pleasure
,
that
he
may
thereby
know
why
he
is
rewarded
with
kindnesse
:
and
in
like
manner
,
when
he
doth
anie
thing
contrarie
to
your
will
,
you
shall
chastise
him
with
the
threatening
of
your
voice
,
and
sometimes
with
the
noise
and
shake
of
your
rod
,
or
when
extremitie
vrgeth
,
with
a
good
lash
or
two
with
your
rod
vnder
his
bellie
,
in
the
very
selfe-same
instant
that
he
offendeth
.
And
when
the
Colt
hath
performed
all
things
answerable
to
your
liking
,
you
shall
returne
home
,
not
the
same
way
that
you
came
forth
,
but
,
if
conueniently
you
can
,
some
other
way
,
thereby
to
breed
in
the
Colt
an
ignorance
of
his
owne
ease
:
which
is
the
onely
meanes
to
preserue
and
keepe
him
from
restyuenesse
,
and
other
wicked
qualities
.
And
being
come
to
the
Stable
dore
,
you
shall
there
alight
,
and
cherish
him
,
and
then
set
him
vp
,
dresse
him
,
and
feed
him
.
And
this
you
shall
doe
at
least
thrice
in
this
fourth
day
.
The
fifth
day
hauing
sadled
,
bridled
,
and
girded
him
as
he
had
beene
accustomed
,
he
shall
lead
him
to
the
place
of
getting
vp
▪
and
there
shall
get
vpon
him
,
lead
him
through
all
manner
of
Waies
,
sometimes
trotting
,
sometimes
softly
,
vntill
he
begin
to
wax
hot
:
And
this
order
shall
be
obserued
euerie
day
,
yet
still
encreasing
his
exercise
,
making
him
goe
and
trot
so
long
as
vntill
he
be
wearie
;
this
being
the
best
way
to
make
him
lift
his
legges
,
and
to
carrie
himselfe
handsomely
in
the
rest
of
his
parts
:
not
failing
thereupon
to
bring
him
backe
verie
softly
vnto
the
Stable
,
where
he
shall
walke
him
vntill
such
time
as
he
leaue
sweating
,
and
then
he
shall
set
him
vp
in
his
place
.
Yet
of
the
later
and
more
experiencest
Horsmen
it
is
thought
good
not
to
walke
him
at
all
,
but
presently
to
set
him
vp
,
Walking
Horses
not
good
.
cloth
him
well
,
and
giue
him
litter
ynough
,
with
found
and
drie
rubbing
:
for
it
is
an
infallible
experiment
,
that
the
walking
of
Horses
in
the
hand
is
the
readiest
way
to
giue
Colds
,
and
breed
Feuers
,
because
then
the
humors
coole
too
suddenly
;
and
the
vitall
parts
leauing
(
as
it
were
)
their
motions
in
an
instant
,
the
heart
and
other
inward
parts
receiue
the
cold
aire
so
vnprouided
and
vnarmed
,
that
wanting
the
assistance
of
their
other
seruants
,
which
is
action
and
spirit
,
they
are
ouercome
,
and
yeeld
to
the
arrest
of
dulnesse
and
numbnesse
:
Therefore
it
is
held
best
not
to
walke
at
all
,
but
rather
to
house
the
Horse
,
and
with
rubbing
,
fretting
,
clawing
,
&
picking
,
to
keepe
the
ouer-heated
parts
warme
,
till
they
may
coole
by
a
moderate
temper
:
and
this
questionlesse
is
the
safest
course
for
a
Horse
that
is
extreamly
heated
,
as
the
English
hunting
and
running
Horses
are
.
But
our
French
Horses
,
which
are
heated
by
a
more
deliberate
&
slower
way
,
as
it
were
onely
but
warming
the
bloud
,
not
melting
the
grease
;
I
hold
it
the
〈◊〉
and
safest
way
,
when
you
come
from
riding
,
and
haue
made
your
Horse
〈◊〉
soundly
,
then
presently
to
carrie
him
into
the
Stable
,
and
taking
the
Saddle
〈◊〉
,
whilest
one
Groome
is
rubbing
and
cha●ing
his
legges
(
which
is
action
ynough
〈◊〉
keepe
him
from
cold
;
for
it
is
a
perfect
rule
,
That
whilest
the
Groome
rubs
well
,
the
Horse
neuer
takes
cold
)
another
Groome
shall
take
a
piece
of
a
Sword
〈◊〉
,
two
foot
and
more
in
length
,
and
with
the
same
he
shall
with
the
edge
strype
〈◊〉
wype
downe
the
Horse
,
euen
from
the
tip
of
his
eares
to
the
pitch
of
his
should●●
and
cambrell
,
leauing
,
so
neere
as
he
can
,
not
anie
moisture
amongst
his
haires
:
〈◊〉
clapping
on
his
Clothes
,
he
shall
vpon
them
set
the
Saddle
,
and
then
girding
it
〈◊〉
gently
,
take
the
Horse
forth
againe
,
and
in
his
hand
walke
him
vp
and
downe
in
the
ayre
till
he
be
throughly
cooled
and
drie
:
then
he
shall
take
him
into
the
Stable
,
set
him
vp
,
after
a
little
pause
feed
him
,
and
at
a
conuenient
watering
houre
〈◊〉
and
dresse
him
,
as
hath
beene
before
spoken
.
But
to
returne
to
our
former
d●●course
:
Hee
shall
hold
on
this
course
with
the
Horse
,
vntill
hee
see
him
throughly
woon
,
and
then
hee
shall
cause
him
to
be
shooed
on
his
hindermost
feet
onely
,
〈◊〉
the
end
he
may
carrie
him
through
rough
and
stonie
waies
,
without
hurting
of
〈◊〉
hoofe
:
and
he
shall
not
vse
anie
thing
else
to
ride
him
with
,
saue
onely
his
whippe
and
trench
,
for
to
make
him
goe
,
trot
,
gallop
,
runne
,
flie
,
turne
,
leape
,
to
rise
〈◊〉
and
before
:
also
he
shall
traine
him
to
scoure
ouer
small
Hills
,
the
tops
of
Hills
,
〈◊〉
great
high
Hills
,
and
againe
,
to
come
downe
the
same
verie
softly
:
and
〈◊〉
riding
him
to
the
places
where
Mills
,
Forges
,
and
such
other
Hammer-workes
〈◊〉
,
as
also
where
there
is
beating
of
Linnens
,
to
the
end
that
afterward
he
may
〈…〉
afraid
at
anie
such
noise
.
Hee
shall
bring
him
also
to
the
place
where
are
〈◊〉
,
Waines
,
Tumbrels
,
Carres
,
Coaches
,
Charets
,
Wagons
,
flockes
of
Sheepe
,
〈◊〉
of
Swine
,
Kine
,
and
Goats
;
making
him
likewise
to
see
Lambs
and
Calues
,
or
other
Beasts
and
Cattell
,
hauing
their
throats
cut
.
He
shall
marke
all
these
things
day
by
day
,
till
he
perceiue
him
readie
,
and
see
him
certainely
with
his
owne
eyes
,
that
〈◊〉
doth
not
vse
to
snuffe
and
take
on
at
the
smels
of
the
foresaid
things
,
and
then
〈◊〉
shall
furnish
him
with
all
manner
of
things
,
and
getting
vpon
him
,
shall
guide
〈◊〉
into
manie
places
,
making
him
to
goe
by
steps
,
to
trot
,
to
leape
Ditches
,
to
〈◊〉
Riuers
,
and
other
Waters
.
And
notwithstanding
this
,
he
shall
not
faile
to
giue
〈◊〉
such
a
kind
of
pace
and
going
as
shall
seeme
most
agreeable
vnto
him
:
for
a
〈◊〉
would
be
trained
vnto
one
manner
of
pace
,
and
a
Courser
to
another
;
and
so
a
〈◊〉
for
the
Warre
,
a
Curtall
,
or
anie
other
such
Horse
,
most
neere
vnto
his
naturall
disposition
.
To
make
a
Horse
trot
well
.
Of
which
paces
to
giue
you
a
little
tast
and
experience
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
to
bring
a
Horse
to
a
comely
,
cleane
,
and
a
loftie
trot
,
you
shall
vse
to
〈◊〉
him
vpon
new-plowed
Lands
,
or
in
Wayes
that
are
deepe
and
heauie
,
for
that
〈◊〉
make
him
twitch
vp
his
legges
,
and
strike
them
cleane
and
high
:
but
if
you
find
〈◊〉
toylesome
to
your
Colt
,
and
that
by
reason
of
his
young
yeares
you
are
afraid
to
〈◊〉
him
to
so
extreame
labour
,
because
manie
sorances
grow
thereby
,
then
you
〈◊〉
ride
him
forth
into
some
plaine
piece
of
ground
that
is
much
ouer-growne
〈◊〉
long
Thistles
,
short
Gorsse
,
Whynnes
,
or
such
like
sharpe
Weeds
,
among
the
which
you
shall
ride
your
Horse
a
good
space
twice
or
thrice
a
day
,
and
the
Thistles
〈◊〉
Gorsse
pricking
his
shinnes
,
will
make
him
take
vp
his
legges
roundly
and
〈◊〉
,
and
in
verie
short
space
bring
him
to
a
cleane
,
easie
,
and
braue
trot
,
although
〈◊〉
Horse
had
neuer
trotted
before
in
all
his
life
:
But
if
you
find
that
the
〈◊〉
and
vncomelinesse
of
his
trot
commeth
out
of
a
naturall
carelesnesse
,
or
in
〈◊〉
of
his
way
,
and
that
by
reason
of
a
dull
and
heauie
disposition
wherewith
he
is
●●fected
,
he
is
not
by
anie
of
the
former
wayes
to
be
reclaimed
,
then
you
shall
〈◊〉
when
the
nights
are
most
darke
and
clouded
,
euen
so
thicke
,
that
you
can
〈◊〉
see
your
hand
(
for
euer
the
darker
the
better
:
)
then
you
shall
take
out
your
〈◊〉
and
ride
him
into
some
new-plowed
field
,
where
the
lands
lye
most
high
and
●●●euen
,
or
into
the
like
vncertaine
and
much
worne
wayes
,
and
there
trot
him
〈◊〉
roundly
and
swiftly
,
rushing
him
now
ouer-thwart
,
then
end-wise
,
sometimes
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
sometimes
another
,
not
suffering
him
to
take
leisure
,
or
regard
to
his
way
,
●ow
dangerous
or
false
of
foot-hold
soeuer
it
be
:
And
although
at
first
(
as
it
is
most
●ikely
)
he
will
stumble
,
or
be
readie
to
fall
,
yet
doe
not
you
make
anie
care
thereof
,
but
bearing
a
good
stiffe
hand
vpon
him
,
strike
your
spurres
hard
into
his
●●des
,
and
the
more
he
stumbles
,
the
more
encrease
you
the
swiftnesse
of
his
pace
,
●●nely
by
no
meanes
whatsoeuer
suffer
him
to
gallop
.
And
thus
exercising
him
●undrie
nights
together
,
you
shall
not
onely
bring
him
to
a
braue
and
most
gal●ant
trot
,
but
also
breed
in
him
a
great
height
of
spirit
and
mettall
,
as
also
it
will
make
him
verie
hardie
and
valiant
.
To
helpe
stumbling
.
And
if
hee
were
subiect
to
that
intollerable
●●ice
of
stumbling
,
yet
this
manner
of
riding
and
correction
would
amend
and
●●ure
the
same
:
for
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
a
Horse
is
,
as
a
man
,
fearefull
and
vigilant
of
his
way
,
and
when
the
sight
thereof
is
taken
from
him
,
all
his
pores
and
vitall
spirits
are
awakened
and
stirred
vp
to
preuent
the
dangers
that
may
happen
vnto
him
:
so
that
when
all
courses
else
shall
faile
,
yet
this
is
most
assured
.
But
if
you
would
haue
your
Horse
,
To
make
a
Horse
〈◊〉
.
by
reason
of
your
manie
occasions
to
iourney
,
●or
because
your
bodie
is
vnapt
and
vnable
to
endure
the
hard
pace
of
trotting
,
〈◊〉
amble
,
which
is
of
all
paces
whatsoeuer
the
easiest
,
you
shall
understand
,
that
to
bring
him
thereunto
,
there
are
but
onely
two
wayes
,
that
is
to
say
,
either
the
Tra●ell
,
or
the
Hand
;
the
betterhood
of
which
▪
I
leaue
to
your
consideration
,
when
your
experience
hath
made
triall
of
them
both
,
and
done
to
neither
injurie
,
but
vsed
them
carefully
,
artificially
,
and
according
to
the
truth
of
the
rules
prescribed
.
To
giue
you
then
a
little
light
what
the
Tramell
is
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
it
is
called
a
Tramell
when
a
Horses
neere
fore-legge
and
his
neere
hinder-legge
,
two
handfull
aboue
the
pasterne
ioynts
,
are
so
fastened
together
with
leathers
and
cords
,
that
he
cannot
put
forward
his
fore-legge
,
but
he
must
perforce
hale
his
hinder-legge
after
it
,
and
so
likewise
his
farre
fore-legge
to
his
farre
hinder-legge
,
and
then
another
flat
and
soft
leather
going
ouer
the
fillets
of
the
Horses
backe
,
and
fastened
to
both
the
lynes
on
both
sides
the
Horse
;
which
piece
of
leather
shall
hold
vp
the
lynes
,
that
they
fall
not
nor
tangle
vnder
the
Horses
feet
as
he
goeth
.
This
is
called
the
tramelling
of
a
Horse
:
and
with
these
you
shall
first
in
your
hand
make
him
goe
softly
or
swiftly
at
your
pleasure
;
and
when
you
find
that
he
will
take
his
way
perfectly
in
them
,
without
danger
of
falling
,
then
you
shall
take
his
backe
,
and
ride
him
thus
in
the
tramels
the
space
of
a
weeke
in
some
faire
,
plaine
,
and
smooth
Way
or
Roade
:
then
the
next
weeke
following
you
shall
ride
him
in
vneuen
wayes
,
ouer
layes
,
vp
hill
and
downe
hill
,
and
in
such
like
vncertaine
places
:
then
the
next
weeke
you
shall
take
off
the
tramels
of
one
side
,
and
fasten
the
backe
band
to
the
saddle
,
and
to
ride
him
for
a
day
or
two
:
then
put
on
that
tramell
againe
,
and
take
off
the
other
which
was
on
before
▪
and
so
ride
him
another
day
or
two
:
then
take
both
cleane
away
,
and
so
ride
him
and
keepe
him
to
his
pace
;
which
he
will
hardly
or
neuer
forsake
,
if
you
haue
anie
care
at
all
.
Now
for
the
speciall
respects
which
are
to
be
obserued
in
the
tramelling
of
Horses
,
you
shall
first
obserue
,
that
the
leathers
which
goe
about
the
Horses
legges
be
soft
,
smooth
,
and
well
lyned
,
neither
so
strait
,
that
they
may
offend
the
maine
sinewes
of
the
legges
,
nor
so
slacke
,
that
they
may
fall
off
:
the
buckles
with
which
you
make
them
longer
or
shorter
,
must
be
verie
strong
also
,
that
they
may
abide
the
twitches
and
straines
of
the
Horse
,
when
at
anie
time
he
striketh
a
false
stroake
:
the
lynes
which
passe
betweene
these
leathers
,
must
be
a
good
round
rope
made
of
strong
Hemp●
well
twound
,
with
a
loope
at
either
end
whereto
to
fixe
the
leathers
;
and
these
lynes
must
be
both
of
a
iust
and
euen
length
,
not
one
exceeding
another
a
strawes
breadth
,
they
must
be
so
fixed
to
the
Horses
legges
,
that
they
must
by
no
meanes
either
draw
them
inward
,
or
giue
them
libertie
to
stradle
outward
,
but
so
,
as
they
may
keepe
the
Horse
in
his
true
,
iust
,
and
naturall
proportion
.
Now
if
your
Horse
strike
too
short
,
then
you
shall
straiten
your
lynes
halfe
an
inch
at
least
,
for
that
will
make
him
ouerstrike
halfe
a
foot
,
and
a
whole
inch
a
whole
foot
:
and
so
of
the
contrary
part
if
he
ouerstrike
,
you
shall
let
forth
your
tramell
in
the
same
maner
that
you
●ooke
it
in
.
There
be
some
that
will
put
on
these
tramels
,
and
make
the
Horse
runne
an
〈◊〉
with
them
a
moneth
or
two
,
and
when
they
take
them
vp
,
they
will
amble
as
〈◊〉
and
perfectly
,
as
if
they
had
beene
naturall
bred
amblers
:
and
sure
there
is
〈◊〉
likelyhood
thereof
;
for
a
pace
that
is
so
giuen
without
compulsion
,
is
euer
the
●●●rest
and
most
vnchangeable
.
Now
for
the
making
of
a
Horse
to
amble
with
〈◊〉
hand
,
it
may
be
done
either
in
some
faire
descending
ground
,
or
vpon
the
〈◊〉
lands
,
and
either
out
of
his
trot
or
gallop
,
as
thus
:
Hauing
taken
your
〈◊〉
backe
,
and
put
him
either
into
a
swift
trot
or
a
swift
gallop
,
you
shall
on
the
〈◊〉
chocke
him
in
the
weeks
of
the
mouth
,
and
iert
his
head
vp
aloft
,
〈◊〉
him
to
shuffle
his
feet
together
,
and
to
strike
them
confusedly
;
and
thus
you
〈◊〉
doe
so
oft
,
till
you
make
him
strike
an
amble
:
then
you
shall
cherish
him
,
〈◊〉
bring
him
to
the
smooth
ground
,
and
there
with
the
helpe
of
your
hand
,
〈◊〉
firmely
aloft
,
make
him
continue
his
amble
:
which
when
at
anie
time
he
〈◊〉
to
forsake
,
you
shall
forthwith
toyle
him
as
you
did
before
,
and
then
bring
him
〈◊〉
the
plaine
ground
chiefely
vp
the
hill
,
and
there
hold
him
to
his
pace
:
which
〈◊〉
he
hath
gotten
in
anie
reasonable
sort
,
he
will
naturally
,
and
for
his
owne
〈◊〉
,
seeke
to
encrease
it
,
and
then
you
shall
apply
him
at
least
three
or
foure
times
〈◊〉
day
,
and
in
one
moneth
there
is
no
doubt
but
you
shall
bring
him
to
that
pe●fection
your
owne
heart
can
wish
.
There
is
also
a
third
pace
,
which
is
neither
〈◊〉
nor
amble
,
To
make
a
Horse
racke
.
but
is
called
a
racking
pace
,
that
is
to
say
,
betweene
an
amble
and
〈◊〉
trot
:
and
though
it
and
the
amble
haue
both
one
manner
of
motion
,
that
is
to
〈◊〉
,
taking
vp
of
both
legges
of
one
side
together
,
yet
this
racking
moueth
much
〈◊〉
and
shorter
,
striking
thicke
,
yet
seldome
beyond
the
step
of
the
forefoot
.
This
pace
is
of
some
reputed
the
easiest
of
all
paces
:
but
I
leaue
that
to
euerie
〈◊〉
mans
feeling
.
Certaine
it
is
,
that
manie
men
take
much
delight
therein
,
〈◊〉
there
is
no
racking
Horse
but
can
trot
,
and
so
in
deepe
and
filthie
wayes
are
able
to
make
much
better
riddance
of
the
way
:
whereas
diuers
ambling
Horses
can
by
no
meanes
trot
,
and
so
lesse
able
to
driue
through
the
myre
:
or
if
they
doe
,
it
〈◊〉
with
much
toyle
,
and
foule
dashing
and
myring
of
their
Masters
.
To
bring
〈◊〉
Horse
then
to
this
racking
pace
,
the
onely
best
way
is
held
to
be
sore
and
〈◊〉
trauell
,
as
much
Hunting
,
Running
,
and
such
like
,
and
then
when
you
feele
yo●●
Horse
begin
to
be
a
little
wearie
,
to
hold
vp
your
bridle
hand
,
and
chocking
〈◊〉
Horse
in
the
weeks
of
the
mouth
,
to
make
him
breake
his
pace
,
and
to
strike
a
〈◊〉
,
which
his
wearinesse
,
and
the
ease
that
the
pace
bringeth
him
,
will
quickly
〈◊〉
him
doe
,
then
to
cherish
and
nourish
him
in
the
same
,
and
by
no
meanes
to
〈◊〉
him
past
his
strength
,
or
to
make
him
goe
faster
than
of
his
owne
inclination
〈◊〉
is
willing
to
doe
,
for
too
much
hast
in
this
worke
is
the
onely
spoyle
thereof
▪
And
thus
in
lesse
than
a
moneths
hunting
or
riding
of
your
Horse
,
you
shall
bring
him
to
a
verie
swift
and
most
readie
racke
;
in
which
the
Horse
will
〈◊〉
so
much
delight
,
that
you
shall
not
at
anie
time
need
to
feare
his
forsaking
〈◊〉
the
same
.
To
make
a
Horse
gallop
.
Lastly
,
for
the
bringing
of
your
Horse
to
a
cleane
and
good
gallop
▪
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
there
be
two
sorts
of
gallopings
:
the
first
,
stately
〈◊〉
aloft
,
the
Horse
winding
vp
his
legges
high
,
and
gathering
them
round
and
close
together
in
loftie
manner
:
and
this
is
fit
for
great
Horses
which
are
〈◊〉
vp
for
seruice
in
the
Warres
,
or
for
the
pleasure
of
Princes
and
other
〈◊〉
Personages
,
which
take
delight
in
stirring
Horses
,
which
can
leape
,
bound
,
〈◊〉
behind
,
coruet
,
and
other
salts
of
like
nature
.
The
other
is
a
swift
,
smooth
,
〈◊〉
,
and
long
gallop
,
wherein
the
Horse
stretcheth
out
his
bodie
to
the
vttermost
length
,
and
carrying
his
feet
neere
vnto
the
ground
,
swoopeth
away
swiftly
,
nimbly
,
and
easily
:
and
this
kind
of
gallop
is
meet
for
hunting
Horses
,
running
Horses
,
or
Horses
preferred
onely
for
labour
and
trauell
.
Now
to
bring
a
Horse
to
gallop
aloft
,
which
is
the
first
kind
of
galloping
spoken
of
,
you
shall
daily
vse
to
gallop
him
as
his
first
riding
on
new-plowed
lands
,
which
are
deepe
,
yet
lye
flat
:
and
withall
,
you
shall
euer
obserue
to
keepe
a
strait
hand
vpon
his
head
,
〈◊〉
the
comelinesse
of
his
reyne
,
and
by
no
meanes
suffering
him
to
gallop
〈◊〉
,
but
the
flower
the
better
;
euer
and
anon
with
your
hand
,
rod
▪
and
spurre
raising
vp
his
bodie
,
and
making
him
gather
his
feet
vp
roundly
together
:
for
it
is
the
pride
of
his
reine
,
and
the
flownesse
of
the
gallop
,
which
brings
him
to
the
gallantrie
and
loftinesse
of
the
motion
.
Now
,
for
the
other
kind
of
galloping
you
shall
vse
a
cleane
contrarie
course
,
that
is
to
say
,
you
shall
traine
your
Horse
vpon
the
plainest
and
smoothest
ground
you
can
find
,
you
shall
giue
him
libertie
of
reine
,
that
hee
may
stretch
forth
his
bodie
and
legges
,
and
lay
himselfe
close
to
the
ground
like
a
Har●
or
a
Greyhound
:
and
this
exercise
you
shall
giue
your
Horse
morning
and
euening
after
his
water
,
for
then
it
is
most
wholesome
,
and
he
the
aptest
to
learne
and
doe
as
you
would
haue
him
.
Also
it
shall
be
good
for
you
now
and
then
to
put
him
to
the
height
of
his
speed
:
for
the
more
you
straine
him
,
the
more
he
coucheth
his
bodie
,
and
the
lesse
distance
euer
hee
taketh
his
feet
from
the
ground
:
to
follow
the
Hounds
all
the
day
twice
or
thrice
a
weeke
:
or
to
giue
him
a
course
once
a
weeke
of
foure
or
fiue
myles
end-wayes
,
are
both
verie
good
waies
of
training
a
Horse
to
this
swift
gallop
:
because
that
length
of
exercise
taketh
the
fire
edge
from
a
Horse
,
and
maketh
him
more
temperate
and
sober
in
his
doings
;
whereas
the
heat
and
excesse
of
his
courage
maketh
him
praunce
and
doe
things
rashly
and
loftily
.
Manie
other
obseruations
there
be
,
but
these
few
before
rehearsed
are
fully
sufficient
to
bring
a
Horse
to
anie
pace
the
Rider
pleaseth
.

The
Carter
likewise
must
haue
knowledge
of
the
age
of
his
Horses
,
To
know
the
age
of
Horses

to
the
end
he
may

set

as

will
best
beare

The
age
of
Horses
is
knowne
by
their
feet
,
hoofes
,
and
specially
by
their
teeth
.
The
Horse
for
the
most
part
hath
eight
and
twentie
teeth
.
It
is
true
that
Aristotle
would
haue
the
Horse
to
haue
fortie
.
He
beginneth
to
haue
teeth
the
first
three
moneths
,
and
by
the
end
of
the
first
yeare
he
hath
six
aboue
and
as
manie
below
:
At
thirtie
moneths
〈◊〉
changeth
two
aboue
and
two
below
:
and
at
fortie
two
moneths
hee
hath
〈◊〉
new
ones
on
both
sides
,
which
touch
those
which
he
had
last
comming
.
Wh●●
he
is
foure
yeares
old
,
then
the
teeth
called
Dogges-teeth
doe
fall
out
,
and
others
come
in
their
place
.
Before
the
sixt
yeare
,
the
great
iaw-bone-teeth
that
are
on
the
vpper
side
doe
fall
out
:
and
in
the
sixt
yeare
,
those
that
were
first
fallen
doe
grow
againe
.
In
the
seuenth
yeare
all
the
whole
number
is
fulfilled
,
and
they
〈◊〉
all
hollow
:
and
after
this
time
,
no
man
can
certainely
know
how
old
a
Horse
〈◊〉
but
that
about
the
twelfth
yeare
there
is
to
be
seene
in
them
an
extraordinar●●
blacknesse
:
Adde
further
,
that
by
how
much
the
Horse
groweth
older
,
so
his
teeth
grow
longer
,
except
some
certaine
ones
,
which
are
shorter
by
reason
of
〈◊〉
eating
of
his
meat
;
and
these
shew
themselues
the
more
,
as
they
draw
neerer
and
neerer
the
fore-part
of
the
iaw
.
The
tenth
yeare
the
temples
begin
to
fall
and
grow
hollow
,
and
sometimes
the
eye-browes
doe
waxe
gray
haired
;
the
〈◊〉
doth
make
shew
of
sadnesse
and
a
mine
of
melancholie
in
his
forehead
;
he
sto●peth
in
his
necke
;
he
is
heauie
of
bodie
;
he
hath
eyes
of
a
deadly
colour
;
his
〈◊〉
gray
,
that
especially
of
Bay
,
Blacke
,
and
Roane
coloured
;
as
that
also
of
the
Chest●nut
colour
,
and
other
colours
standing
vpon
darke
:
the
gray
flea-bitten
groweth
white
,
and
the
white
flea-bitten
becommeth
dapple-gray
and
somewhat
dark●●

There
are
manie
wrinkles
and
plaits
in
the
vpper
part
of
his
broome
or
brushing
taile
,
and
they
are
commonly
counted
to
be
as
manie
yeares
old
as
there
is
wrinkles
found
in
that
place
.
Furthermore
,
an
old
Horse
skinne
drawne

with
our
fingers
abideth
so
a
long
time
,
but
a

the
age
of
a
Horse
:
for
if
when
you
shall
handle
it
,
you
find
the
〈◊〉
standeth
out
and
is
easie
to
be
felt
,
then
you
shall
be
assured
that
the
Horse
is
young
:
but
if
the
bone
be
not
to
be
felt
,
but
that
the
sterne
seemeth
plaine
and
smooth
,
then
you
shall
be
assured
that
the
Horse
is
old
;
as
aboue
tenne
at

.
Againe
,
〈◊〉
you

your
finger
into
the
Horses
mouth
,

the
Horse
then
is
old
;

If
the

a
ring
(
as
it
were
)
of
new
flesh
●bout
it
,
which
may
be
discerned
from
the

then
is
the
Horse
young

but
if
the
flesh
be
all
smooth
and
plaine
without
difference
,
and
the
●ush
a
〈◊〉
blunted
,
then
is
the
Horse
enclining
to
old
age
;
as
aboue
nine
at
the
〈◊〉
manie

obseruations
are
held
,
but
●●one
truly
certaine
but
these
alreadie
rehearsed

It
is
likewise
the
charge
of
a
Carter
,
To
order
sick●
Horses

to
haue
especiall
care
of
the
health
of
his
Horses
;
whose
continuance
and
terme
of
life
(
as
saith
Aristotle
)
must
be
betwixt
sixteene
and
twentie
at
the
least
:
wherefore
,
when
he
seeth
them
in
health
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
leane
,
he
shall
giue
them
parched
Wheat
,
or
of
powned
Barly
the
double
measure
.
He
shall
rub
them
verie
well
euerie
day
all
ouer
their
bodies
:
assuring
himselfe
,
that
it
doth
more
profit
them
,
being
often
handed
and
rubbed
,
than
to
giue
them
a
great
deale
of
meat
.
Difficultie
of
vrine
.
Likewise
some
say
,
that
the
hand
feedeth
a
Horse
more
than
his
meat
.
If
they
cannot
stale
,
which
is
knowne
by
the
swelling
of
the
bladder
,
and
about
the
yard
,
he
shall
make
them
drinke
pottage
made
of
a
pint
of
Wine
,
stamped
Garlicke
,
and
tenne
whites
of
egges
:
or
else
the
iuice
of
red
Coleworts
,
mixed
with
white
Wine
.
In
the
meane
time
hee
must
take
away
from
them
their
Oates
and
Barly
altogether
,
and
to
feed
them
with
nothing
but
their
owne
and
accustomed
Fodder
and
Grasse
meat
,
to
see
and
if
they
will
recouer
through
the
time
of
the
yeare
.
It
will
be
good
also
to
put
within
the
sheath
of
their
yard
a
Collirie
of
Honey
boyled
with
Salt
,
or
else
a
Gnat
or

quicke
Fleas

little

of
Frankincense

as
also
to
lay
vnto
the
Reines

to
annoynt

let
him
stand

such
a

You
shall
know
if
hee
haue
paine
in
his

by
the
distilling

dropping
downe

Now
for
as
much
as
to
know
medicines
for
diseases
is
to
little
or
no
purpose
,
To
know
diseases
by
their
signes
.
except
a
man
know
the
disease
,
I
will
here
in
a
briefe
manner
shew
you
the
signes
of
all
the
most
generall
and
hidden
infirmities
that
are
in
horses
,
therefore
first
to
begin
with
the
outward
parts
:
that
you
may
know
where
the
griefe
is
when
at
any
time
a
horse
halteth
,
you
shall
note
these
few
obseruations
following
,
first
if
he
〈◊〉
before
,
and
〈◊〉
but
his
Toe
to
the
ground
,
it
is
most
certaine
that
the
greiefe
is
in
his
hoofe
;
but
if
when
he
halteth
,
he
bend
not
his
pasterne
,
then
be
you
well
assured
the
griefe
lyeth
in
the
joynt
:
If
he
halt
more
when
you
turne
him
than
when
he
goeth
right
forward
,
or
forbeareth
his
foot
more
in
the
turning
than
in
going
,
then
the
griefe
questionlesse
is
in
the
shoulder
or
the
thigh
;
or
if
when
he
standeth
still
he
setteth
one
foot
a
good
deale
more
forward
than
the
other
,
the
griefe
is
then
in
the
shoulder
or
vpper
parts
also
,
as
,
in
the
Knee
or
Knuckle
of
the
Elbow
:
If
he
goe
bowing
to
the
ground
,
and
tread
his
steps
verie
thicke
,
the
griefe
is
in
the
brest
:
〈◊〉
he
halt
behind
and
in
his
gate
set
but
his
Toe
to
the
ground
,
the
griefe
is
in
the
foot
,
or
in
the
sti●le
;
but
if
he
refuse
of
touch
the
ground
at
all
,
then
the
griefe
is
in
the
Buttocke
.
Now
to
know
whereof
these
griefes
doe
proceed
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
if
the
griefe
proceed
of
a
hot
cause
,
then
he
most
halteth
when
he
trauelleth
,
or
is
chafed
,
and
the
further
he
goes
,
the
worse
and
worse
he
goes
:
but
if
it
proceed
of
a
cold
cause
,
then
he
halteth
most
when
he
rests
or
stands
still
,
and
at
his
first
going
out
out
of
a
journey
,
but
after
a
little
chafing
he
goeth
vpright
againe
.
Now
if
the
horses
halt
be
secret
,
and
as
it
were
halfe
vnperce●●able
,
insomuch
that
you
are
incertaine
whether
he
halteth
yea
or
no
,
you
shall
suffer
him
to
runne
at
the
vttermost
length
of
his
halter
,
without
any
stay
or
ease
of
your
hand
,
and
then
without
doubt
if
he
haue
any
hidden
maladie
or
griefe
whatsoeuer
,
he
will
easily
discouer
it
:
and
thus
much
for
the
signes
of
griefes
in
the
outward
parts
.
Signes
of
inward
griefes
.
Now
for
the
signes
of
griefes
in
the
inward
parts
,
you
shall
obserue
,
that
if
your
horse
be
slower
in
labour
,
or
duller
of
the
spurre
,
or
shorter
breathed
,
or
if
his
eares
hang
downe
more
than
they
were
wont
,
of
his
haire
stare
,
if
his
flanke
be
more
hollow
,
if
he
burne
or
glow
betwixt
the
eares
,
if
he
refuse
his
meat
,
or
if
his
mouth
be
drie
and
clammie
in
his
trauell
,
all
these
are
generall
signes
of
inward
sicknesse
:
If
a
horse
hold
his
head
downe
in
the
Manger
,
be
heauie
and
dimme
sighted
,
it
is
a
signe
of
a
Feauer
,
headach
,
hear●ach
,
foundring
in
the
bodie
,
or
the
Staggers
.
If
a
Horse
turne
his
head
backe
,
and
looke
to
his
bodie
as
to
the
place
grieued
,
it
is
signe
of
obstructions
in
the
Liuer
,
especially
when
he
looketh
to
the
right
side
,
but
if
he
looke
further
,
as
to
his
bellie
,
then
it
is
a
signe
of
Wormes
or
Colicke
;
when
thin
water
runneth
from
his
mouth
,
it
is
a
signe
of
Staggers
,
or
a
wet
Cough
▪
●●tinking

,
and
foule
mattar
at
his

,
is

but

mattar

white

then

if
blacke
,
then

if

then
the

of
the

:
but
if
he
cast
little
lumpes
〈◊〉
of
his
mouth
,
then
it
sheweth
rotten
Lungs
.
If

Of
the
Asse
.
NOtwithstanding
that
the
Asse
is
but
a
base
and
contemptible
thing
,
yet
he
is
verie
necessarie
in
euerie
Countrey
House
,
because
he
trauelleth
and
doth
his
necessarie
worke
better
than
if
he
were
greater
and
more
corpulent
:
as
to
turne
the
Mill
,
to
grind
the
Corne
,
to
beare
the
Corne
to
the
Mill
,
and
diuers
other
implements
and
commodities
,
as
Butter
,
Cheese
,
●nd
Creame
,
to
be
sold
at
the
Market
,
and
to
bring
the
same
or
anie
other
thing
backe
●gaine
home
vpon
his
backe
:
to
toile
the
earth
that
is
light
,
and
not
strong
and
stiffe
:
●o
draw
Carts
that
are
not
too
heauie
laden
:
The
milke
of
an
Asse
good
for
them
in
consumptions
:
and
for
to
make
faire
the
countenances
of
women
.
besides
the
commoditie
of
the
milke
of
●he
shee
Asse
,
which
is
a
soueraigne
remedie
as
well
for
them
that
be
in
a
consumption
,
that
be
weake
,
impoisoned
,
rheumatike
,
and
such
other
like
diseases
;
as
also
for
to
make
nea●
,
to
white
▪
make
tender
and
smooth
the
faces
of
women
:
as
wee
read
that
Poppea
the
wife
of
Nero
did
,
vsing
bathes
to
keepe
her
hew
and
colour
most
faire
,
●nd
her
flesh
most
smooth
and
white
.
To
let
pas●e
and
to
say
nothing
of
the
flesh
of
the
Asse
,
which
whiles
it
is
young
is
verie
delicate
,
and
full
of
pleasant
ta●t
and
sauour
〈◊〉
eating
,
and
for
that
cause
hath
sometimes
beene
of
great
request
in
Rome
,
as
also
●n
our
time
in
great
estimation
by
a
great
noble
and
worthie
man
in
France
,
who
caused
a
flocke
of
Asses
to
be
kept
and
most
carefully
looked
vnto
:
and
in
like
manner
to
say
nothing
of
the
Hide
,
whereof
there
are
made
verie
good
sieues
to
riddle
the
corne
,
as
also
tabers
to
daunce
by
,
and
drums
for
the
warres
.
Wherefore
the
good
housholder
must
appoint
him
also
one
to
order
and
gouerne
him
,
who
notwithstanding
shall
not
be
much
busied
in
taking
charge
of
an●
looking
to
him
,
seeing
he
〈◊〉
verie
easie
and
light
to
keepe
:
he
is
contented
with
a
little
meat
,
and
that
of
any
sort
euen
such
as
one
will
giue
him
:
for
some
feed
him
only
with
leaues
,
thornes
,
and
thistles
:
some
doe
fat
him
with
chaffe
and
straw
,
which
are
commonly
found
almost
in
all
countries
:
it
is
true
that
he
must
not
be
let
feed
vpon
or
haue
giuen
to
eate
any
Hemlocke
;
for
it
casteth
him
into
such
a
sound
sleepe
,
as
that
he
seemeth
to
be
not
so
much
like
a
blocke
,
but
rather
starke
dead
.
If
you
giue
him
now
and
then
some
〈◊〉
bread
,
or
millet
,
it
pleaseth
him
as
well
as
a
great
banket
:
he
looketh
not
worse
,
when
he
is
ill
handled
and
curried
of
him
,
who
hath
the
charge
of
him
:
he
doth
easily
endure
strokes
and
hunger
,
and
is
not
easily
tainted
of
any
disease
:
notwithstanding
the
Asse-keeper
shall
haue
care
that
the
She-asse
may
be
couered
in
〈◊〉
time
,
that
is
to
say
,
from
mid
March
vntill
Iune
,
to
the
end
that
foaling
about
the
end
of
the
yeare
,
it
may
happen
to
be
in
the
spring
of
new
Grasse
,
and
the
age
of
the
Asse
to
be
couered
must
be
from
three
yeares
to
ten
:
at
which
time
you
must
giue
leaue
to
the
She-asse
to
run
,
in
regard
of
the
good
store
of
fruit
she
hath
brought
forth
:
Rest
maketh
an
Asse
alwaies
after
vnfit
for
labour
.
but
on
the
contrarie
,
not
to
suffer
the
male
to
continue
out
of
labour
,
see●ng
that
much
respeit
will
bring
him
to
an
habite
of
slothfulnesse
.
He
shall
suffer
the
young
Asse
to
sucke
it
damme
vntill
it
be
two
yeares
old
:
or
else
you
shall
let
it
such●
a
Mare
,
because
it
is
somewhat
better
:
he
shall
not
set
the
young
Asse
to
labour
before
it
be
three
yeares

accustome
it

The

of
a
good
Asse

to
draw
in
the
plough
,
and
to
serue
to
ride
vpon
.
The
Asse
that
is
not
aboue
ten
yeres
old
,
nor
younger
than
three
,
which
is
great
,
well
squared
in
his
parts

hauing
sufficient
grosse

wide

hauing
a
blacke
marke
in
the
forehead
,
or
all
along
the
bodie
,
shall
be
well
accounted
of
.
But
on
the
contrarie
,
there
is
no
account
to
be
made
of
such
as
haue
an
ashie
coloured
haire
,
or
somewhat
gray

as
the
most
in
this
countrie
are
,
and
least
of
all
of
such

are
of

The

of
the
Asse

To
be
short
,
he
shall
be
carefull
to
heale
them
when
they
be
sicke
(
although
as
hath
beene
said
,
this
beast
is
not
verie
subiect
to
diseases
)
and
that
by
vsing
such
remedies
as
he
doth
vnto
horses
.
The
housholder
being
a
good

,
The
Asses-hide

shall
keepe
the

to

for

〈◊〉
buthens

are
so
durable
,
as
that
one
shall
scarce
see
any
end
of
them
,
though
you
weare
them
amongst
stones
,
grauell
,
thornes
,
or
other
such
like
places
,
notwithstanding
with
their
lasting
they
grow
so
hard
as
that
they
cannot
be
worne
any
more
.
The
hoofe
of
an
Asse
burnt
and
made
in
powder
doth
heale
the
Falling-sicknesse
▪
and
that
of
the
wild
Asse
hanged
about
the
necke
,
The
Asses-●oo●e
or
set
in
a
ring
,
in
such
sort
as
th●●
it
may
touch
the

,
is
singular
good
against
the
said
disease
,
as
also
against
the
swimming
of
the
head
,
which
commeth
through
a
weakenesse
of
the
braine
.
Some
thinke
that
the
wild
Asse
is
that
which
is
called
Ellend
,
and
much
seene
in
Polonia
,
Litu●n●a
,
and
Su●cia
,
and
that
because
that
the
Ellend
hath
●ares
like
vnto
an
Asses
:
the
French
men
which
haue
trauelled
into
Polonia
,
say
,
that
the
Ellend
doth
resemble
the
Asse
i●
nothing
but
in
her
eares
,
as
otherwise
in
all
points
almost
being
like
〈◊〉
the
Hart
:
hauing
a
clouen
foot
,
but
that
he
is
a
great
deale
bigger
,
and
in
ho●●es
like
vnto
a
Fallow-Deere

Although
the
Asse
be
mocked
of
the
most
because
of
his
long
eares
,
The
A●●e
doth
〈…〉
.
yet
notwithstanding
those
eares
how
great
soeuer
they
be

doe
serue
him
to
shew
his
vertue
,
and
to
make
to
appeare
his
vnderstanding
and
certaine
knowledge
which
he
hath
of
the
change
of

seeing
that
if
it
will
turne
to

he
then
laieth
them

CHAP.
XXX
.
Of
the
Mule-keeper
.
A
Good
House-holder
must
not
be
vnfurnished
of
things
necessarie
for
his
House
,
whether
they
serue
for
food
and
sustenance
,
or
for
ease
.
Wherefore
although
in
respect
of
some
manner
of
worke
he
may
be
content
to
want
Mules
,
hauing
the
benefit
of
Horse
to
carrie
him
to
the
Market
and
other
●laces
whither
his
businesse
shall
call
him
:
yet
notwithstanding
the
Mule
is
necessa●ie
for
his
●asement
,
whether
it
be
that
he
would
rather
ride
vpon
Mules
than
vpon
Horses
,
because
of
their
easier
pacing
;
or
that
,
by
reason
of
age
,
or
want
of
health
of
●odie
,
he
cannot
endure
the
trauell
of
a
Horse
,
but
is
constrained
to
prouide
a
Horse-litter
to
carrie
him
in
.
The
Mules
of
Auernia
.
I
will
further
say
,
that
in
some
places
,
as
in
Auernia
,
●hat
for
the
scarcitie
and
small
number
of
Horse
and
Oxen
,
the
Mules
are
esteemed
of
great
value
,
and
are
vsed
to
toile
the
earth
,
to
trauaile
,
and
doe
other
necessarie
●hings
tending
to
the
commoditie
and
maintenance
of
the
House
;
to
say
nothing
●hat
Mules
are
proper
Beasts
,
strong
and
able
to
carrie
great
and
heauie
burthens
,
as
Trunkes
,
sackes
of
Corne
and
Meale
,
and
such
other
burthens
which
Horses
could
●ot
beare
.
The
ordering
and
charge
of
Mules
is
like
vnto
that
of
Horses
,
as
well
in
respect
of
their
meat
,
pasture
,
feeding
,
and
furniture
,
as
in
the
curing
of
their
diseases
,
whereunto
they
are
subiect
:
and
therefore
wee
will
knit
vp
in
●ewer
words
what
may
be
said
of
them
,
both
for
the
causes
rehearsed
,
as
also
for
that
I
willingly
leaue
the
whole
knowledge
of
their
feeding
and
handling
to
those
of
Auernia
,
amongst
whom
they
are
in
such
high
request
.
Notwithstanding
,
to
speake
summarily
,
the
Mule-keeper
must
not
onely
be
carefull
of
the
well-feeding
of
his
Mules
,
but
also
of
making
of
the
most
profit
of
them
.
The
profit
that
may
be
raised
of
them
,
consisteth
in
the
verie
same
commodities
that
may
be
raised
of
the
Asse
,
and
that
is
principally
of
goodly
Herds
and
Flocks
.
Hence
he
shall
chuse
a
good
and
goodly
beautifull
male
Mule
,
Asse
,
or
Horse
,
and
likewise
a
female
,
Mare
,
or
she
Asse
,
for
the
saddle
:
for
if
both
of
them
happen
not
to
fit
the
turne
,
and
be
well
conditioned
,
yet
that
which
doth
,
cannot
be
but
valiant
and
couragious
:
The
diuers
maners
of
the
engendring
of
male
and
female
Mules
.
And
although
that
male
and
female
Mules
be
engendred
either
of
the
male
Asse
and
the
Mare
,
or
of
the
Horse
and
female
Asse
,
yet
those
are
the
best
which
come
of
the
Asse
and
the
Mare
:
for
those
which
come
of
the
Horse
and
the
Asse
,
though
their
name
be
according
to
their
fire
,
yet
they
resemble
in
conditions
their
dammes
altogether
.
Wherefore
it
is
best
,
to
the
end
you
may
haue
goodly
and
beautifull
she
Mules
,
The
markes
of
a
good
Asse
to
c●uer
she
Mules
.
to
make
a
Stalion
of
an
Asse
,
which
is
faire
and
beautifull
,
of
a
good
race
,
and
that
hath
beene
well
tried
.
You
must
chuse
one
that
is
three
yeares
old
and
vpward
,
great
and
corpulent
,
of
a
strong
neck
,
strong
and
large
ribbes
,
of
an
open
and
musculous
or
fleshie
breast
,
fleshie
thighes
,
well-trus●ed
legges
,
of
a
blacke
colour
,
or
●lea-bitten
with
red
,
tending
to
a
bright
,
or
of
a
gray
siluer
colour
,
or
of
a
darke
murrey
colour
,
for
commonly
Asses
are
of
a
Mouse
colour
:
but
they
which
are
of
this
haire
,
are
not
so
liuely
and
stirring
as
the
other
:
and
if
there
come
forth
either
male
or
female
Mule
wearing
this
liuerie
,
they
are
not
so
good
and
sutable
.
The
Mare
must
be
lesse
than
tenne
yeares
old
,
great
and
faire
,
and
of
good
limbes
,
to
the
end
she
may
take
and
keepe
the
nature
of
the
Asse
,
disagreeing
with
her
bodie
,
and
being
of
another
kind
than
she
her selfe
;
and
that
she
bestow
vpon
her
fruit
not
onely
the
gifts
of
the
bodie
,
but
also
of
spirit
and
liuelinesse
▪
The
young
stayeth
in
the
dammes
bodie
twelue
moneths
:
wherefore
the
Mare
would
be
couered
from
mid
March
vnto
mid
Iune
,
to
the
end
she
may
foale
when
grasse
is
in
full
force
,
thereby
to
be
sure
to
get
good
store
of
Milke
.
She
hauing
brought
forth
her
young
one
,
it
must
be
vsed
after
the
manner
of
young
Colts
,
excepted
onely
,
that
after
it
hath
sucked
sixe
moneths
,
the
damme
can
giue
it
sucke
no
longer
,
by
reason
of
the
ach
of
her
teats
:
but
it
must
be
made
to
sucke
some
Mare
,
that
so
it
may
grow
more
lus●ie
:
or
you
must
let
it
goe
with
the
damme
,
that
it
may
learne
to
eat
,
so
that
still
it
be
prouided
of
milke
to
sucke
.
The
Horse-mule
well
chosen
,
Signes
of
a
good
Horse-Mule
.
must
be
of
a
grosse
and
round
bodie
,
hauing
small
feet
,
and
thinne
legges
and
drie
,
a
full
and
large
crupper
,
a
broad
and
soft
breast
,
a
long
and
compas●ed
necke
,
a
drie
and
small
head
.
On
the
contrarie
,
the
Mare-Mule
must
haue
her
legges
somewhat
grosse
and
round
,
Of
a
good
Mare-Mule
.
a
straight
and
solide
bodie
,
and
a
crupper
hanging
towards
the
taile
.
The
Mare-Mules
are
stronger
,
mightier
,
nimbler
,
and
longer
liuers
than
the
Horse-Mules
:
but
the
Horse-Mules
are
more
tractable
and
more
easie
to
guide
and
learne
than
the
Mare-Mules
be
.
Both
of
them
are
subiect
to
lunacie
:
but
to
take
this
fault
away
,
you
must
make
them
drinke
some
wine
oftentimes
.
If
they
be
froward
,
and
vnwilling
to
be
sadled
,
you
may
tie
vp
one
of
their
fore-legges
euen
vnto
their
thighes
,
to
the
end
that
in
the
meane
time
they
may
not
fall
backward
.
If
they
be
hard
to
shooe
on
the
right
foot
behind
,
you
must

the
left
before

The
Mare-Mule
is
subiect
to
the
same
diseases
that
the
Horse
,
The
diseases
of
the
Horse
and
Mare-Mule
.
as
hath
beene
said
;
notwithstanding
there
is
something
peculiar
in
them
,
for
which
the
remedies
doe
follow
:
When
she
hath
an
Ague
,
Ague
.
you
must
giue
her
raw
Coleworts
:
when
she
bloweth
and
sigheth
much
,
and
hath
a
short
wind
,
you
must
let
her
bloud
,
and
afterward
giue
her
to
drinke
three
quarters
of
a
pint
of
Wine
,
Difficultie
of
breath
.
with
halfe
an
ounce
of
Oyle
,
and
as
much
Frankincense
,
and
two
pints
of
the
iuice
of
Horehound
.
If
shee
haue
the
moules
and
scabs
about
her
pasternes
,
Scabs
in
the
pasternes

called
the
Grapes
,
you
must
put
vpon
them
Barly
meale
,
Leanenes
.
and
open
the
impostume
,
if
anie
thing
be
in
it
.
Their
leanenesse
and
languishing
is
taken
away
,
by
giuing
them
oftentimes
drinkes
made
with
halfe
an
ounce
of
Brimstone
beaten
,
a
raw
egge
,
and
a
dramme
of
Myrr●e
with
Wine
.
The
same
remedie
is
good
for
the
paine
of
the
Bellie

and

If

Let
all
women
that
desire
to
haue
children
,
beware
that
they
neuer
take
the
sent
of
the
vrine
of
a

or
Mare-Mule
:
for
the
smell
of
their

doth
make
women
barren
,
because
that

themselues
are
naturally
barren

is
so

that
they

runne
away
with
great
swiftnesse

of
which
you
may
make
triall
