your_o tree_n will_v be_v taper_n but_o top_v your_o shoot_n all_o but_o your_o leading-shoot_a which_o will_v make_v the_o body_n of_o your_o tree_n swell_v the_o more_o and_o hinder_v they_o from_o equal_v the_o leading-shoot_a and_o by_o top_v the_o other_o it_o will_v grow_v the_o strong_a i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o which_o shoot_v you_o shall_v leave_v to_o be_v the_o leading-shoot_a for_o your_o tree_n not_o question_v but_o sense_n and_o reason_n will_v teach_v you_o to_o leave_v that_o which_o grow_v straight_a and_o strong_a if_o you_o do_v leave_v any_o shoot_v as_o most_o often_o it_o be_v necessary_a leave_v they_o not_o right_a against_o one_o another_o for_o that_o will_v make_v the_o tree_n grow_v too_o sudden_o thick_a in_o that_o place_n but_o leave_v they_o one_o above_o another_o so_o will_v your_o tree_n grow_v the_o more_o taper_n for_o it_o will_v be_v less_o and_o less_o upward_o between_o the_o shoot_v which_o shoot_v you_o must_v take_v off_o year_n after_o year_n as_o your_o tree_n run_v up_o in_o height_n mind_v still_o now_o and_o then_o to_o leave_v some_o side-bough_n to_o keep_v the_o tree_n taper_n or_o else_o you_o will_v want_v your_o height_n of_o timber_n or_o your_o tree_n may_v grow_v top_n heavy_a and_o so_o crooked_a i_o speak_v of_o timber-tree_n or_o the_o way_n to_o order_n tree_n for_o timber_n for_o i_o wish_v all_o oak_n be_v fit_a for_o timber_n but_o if_o your_o leading-shoot_a be_v much_o crooked_a then_o top_v it_o underneath_o a_o bud_n that_o tend_v upward_o so_o low_a as_o if_o that_o bud_n lead_v away_o it_o may_v grow_v near_o straight_o up_o or_o cut_v off_o the_o leading-shoot_a under_o another_o that_o grow_v more_o upright_a order_v it_o to_o be_v the_o leading-shoot_a so_o as_o your_o tree_n grow_v mind_n to_o lead_v it_o up_o every_o year_n according_a as_o you_o see_v cause_n take_v care_n to_o keep_v off_o the_o sucker_n especial_o the_o first_o year_n unless_o you_o find_v the_o head_n grow_v too_o great_a for_o the_o body_n then_o leave_v some_o side-bough_n to_o receive_v some_o sap_n and_o to_o make_v your_o tree_n taper_n but_o this_o you_o shall_v hardly_o find_v in_o oak_n in_o their_o first_o year_n growth_n namely_o to_o grow_v too_o much_o in_o head_n thus_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v your_o tree_n of_o what_o sort_n soever_o it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v for_o timber_n with_o no_o great_a head_n still_o keep_v the_o leading-shoot_a uppermost_a by_o sometime_o head_v the_o other_o side-bough_n about_o a_o foot_n or_o more_o from_o the_o body_n or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v ready_a sometime_o to_o make_v your_o tree_n top-heavy_a therefore_o keep_v your_o tree_n till_o you_o have_v get_v it_o to_o the_o height_n you_o intend_v by_o keep_v it_o as_o be_v abovesaid_a and_o if_o you_o find_v it_o be_v not_o taper_n by_o these_o mean_n then_o in_o the_o month_n february_n slit_v the_o bark_n quite_o thorough_a on_o three_o or_o four_o side_n according_a to_o the_o bigness_n of_o your_o tree_n but_o if_o small_a but_o one_o or_o two_o so_o if_o the_o tree_n be_v three_o yard_n high_a to_o the_o head_n then_o let_v three_o slit_n go_v up_o one_o yard_n two_o slit_n two_o yard_n high_a and_o one_o to_o the_o top_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o straight_a tree_n and_o taper_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o if_o the_o bark_n be_v bind_v slit_v it_o on_o one_o or_o two_o side_n from_o the_o ground_n to_o the_o top_n if_o your_o tree_n be_v young_a though_o thrive_a it_o will_v do_v it_o no_o harm_n but_o much_o good_a for_o you_o may_v see_v in_o many_o thrive_a tree_n the_o bark_n part_n of_o itself_o tell_v you_o that_o it_o want_v your_o help_n therefore_o observe_v nature_n and_o assist_v she_o in_o all_o your_o undertake_n for_o wisdom_n stand_v not_o only_o in_o the_o street_n but_o in_o the_o wood_n call_v to_o you_o to_o learn_v of_o she_o note_v also_o if_o you_o find_v any_o tree_n crooked_a slit_v it_o in_o the_o ham_n at_o the_o aforesaid_a time_n and_o take_v off_o some_o of_o the_o low_a side_n of_o his_o head_n and_o you_o will_v help_v the_o crook_n of_o the_o tree_n whether_o it_o be_v great_a or_o small_a and_o in_o time_n by_o so_o do_v it_o will_v grow_v straight_o for_o by_o slit_v the_o bark_n in_o the_o ham_n it_o make_v the_o tree_n swell_v there_o and_o so_o set_v the_o tree_n straight_o therefore_o make_v two_o or_o three_o slit_n in_o the_o ham_n according_a to_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o crook_n but_o if_o the_o tree_n be_v pretty_a great_a then_o take_v your_o bill_n and_o cut_v the_o bark_n through_o in_o the_o ham_n in_o several_a place_n about_o two_o or_o three_o inch_n asunder_o let_v the_o cut_n be_v cut_v slant_v upward_o a_o little_a across_o the_o diameter_n of_o the_o tree_n by_o so_o do_v you_o will_v stop_v the_o sap_n in_o that_o place_n the_o bark_n will_v dilate_v and_o the_o place_n grow_v great_a and_o so_o the_o tree_n will_v grow_v straight_a sometime_o if_o your_o tree_n be_v not_o taper_n in_o summer_n when_o it_o shoot_v much_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o head_n will_v draw_v the_o body_n crooked_a and_o the_o head_n will_v incline_v to_o the_o ground_n in_o such_o tree_n leave_v shoot_n on_o the_o body_n to_o check_v and_o receive_v the_o sap_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o from_o abound_v too_o much_o in_o the_o head_n but_o when_o you_o find_v your_o tree_n grow_v crooked_a by_o the_o head_n in_o summer_n with_o leave_n and_o bough_n weigh_v it_o down_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o find_v it_o begin_v to_o lean_v take_v off_o some_o of_o the_o bough_n on_o the_o lean_a side_n and_o top_n some_o according_a as_o you_o see_v cause_n by_o this_o summer-pruning_a you_o may_v keep_v your_o tree_n straight_o therefore_o observe_v it_o i_o have_v find_v good_a success_n on_o walnut-tree_n and_o line_n by_o it_o etc._n etc._n but_o though_o oak_n grow_v crooked_a it_o be_v not_o often_o by_o their_o great_a shoot_n for_o on_o most_o ground_n it_o grow_v slow_o but_o sometime_o their_o head_n or_o lead_v shoot_n be_v crop_v off_o by_o cattle_n it_o than_o break_v out_o on_o the_o side_n into_o several_a lead_n shoot_v and_o one_o lead_v one_o way_n and_o another_o another_o and_o so_o distribute_v the_o sap_n which_o make_v the_o tree_n not_o only_o grow_v crooked_a but_o slow_o and_o sometime_o the_o early_o shoot_v of_o the_o leading-shoot_a in_o the_o spring_n cause_v the_o same_o for_o frost_n come_v upon_o the_o tender_a leaf_n and_o leading-bud_n kill_v they_o and_o then_o it_o be_v force_v to_o break_v out_o a_o new_a on_o the_o side_n this_o happen_v oftentime_o to_o young_a seedle_v oak_n in_o long_a grass_n which_o will_v glad_o be_v more_o in_o the_o open_a air_n but_o by_o make_v too_o much_o haste_v many_o time_n they_o lose_v their_o head_n for_o it_o now_o in_o such_o case_n you_o must_v take_v off_o some_o and_o cut_v some_o half_n a_o foot_n off_o from_o the_o leading-shoot_a preserve_v that_o which_o be_v most_o likely_a for_o the_o lead_a shoot_n which_o though_o it_o be_v crooked_a despair_v not_o for_o natural_o it_o will_v grow_v straight_a and_o if_o you_o use_v prune_v and_o the_o aforesaid_a rule_n it_o will_v be_v straight_o much_o the_o soon_o but_o in_o case_n you_o find_v your_o young_a oak_n very_o much_o stub_a near_o the_o ground_n and_o never_o a_o shoot_n that_o be_v fit_a to_o lead_v to_o make_v a_o tree_n in_o such_o a_o young_a tree_n you_o must_v cut_v it_o off_o close_o at_o the_o ground_n in_o the_o springtime_n so_o shall_v you_o have_v one_o fine_a shoot_n or_o more_o but_o be_v sure_o take_v off_o all_o but_o one_o and_o then_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o shoot_v thrive_v very_o much_o till_o it_o have_v get_v such_o a_o head_n in_o bigness_n as_o the_o head_n be_v before_o and_o the_o bark_n be_v then_o fine_a it_o will_v enlarge_v itself_o for_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o shoot_n and_o give_v good_a way_n for_o the_o sap_n to_o run_v into_o the_o head_n and_o so_o make_v a_o fine_a tree_n therefore_o if_o your_o tree_n be_v stun_v or_o much_o crooked_a then_o take_v this_o course_n to_z head_z they_o close_o
