but_o in_o winter_n it_o run_v always_o new_a and_o fresh_a whereof_o the_o sea_n can_v choose_v but_o have_v a_o good_a part_n as_o well_o because_o it_o be_v evermore_o in_o motion_n as_o also_o for_o that_o the_o river_n run_v into_o it_o be_v great_a and_o impart_v their_o fresh_a water_n unto_o it_o 10_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o pour_v sea_n water_n into_o

dust_n be_v it_o not_o as_o i_o say_v before_o because_o wheat_n be_v able_a to_o overcome_v more_o nourishment_n but_o barley_n can_v not_o endure_v much_o moisture_n to_o drench_v and_o drown_v it_o or_o in_o this_o respect_n that_o wheat_n be_v a_o stiff_a and_o hard_a kind_n of_o grain_n resemble_v the_o nature_n of_o wood_n do_v soon_o come_v and_o chit_z within_o the_o ground_n in_o case_n

that_o fisher_n choose_v the_o hair_n of_o stone-horsetailes_a rather_o than_o of_o mare_n to_o make_v their_o angle_a line_n be_v it_o because_o the_o male_a as_o in_o all_o other_o part_n so_o in_o

of_o a_o great_a tempest_n be_v it_o because_o all_o soft_a and_o 〈◊〉_d fish_n be_v very_o impatient_a of_o cold_a and_o of_o foulweather_n they_o be_v so_o bare_a and_o naked_a and_o have_v withal_o

that_o he_o who_o teach_v we_o to_o shoot_v forbid_v we_o not_o to_o draw_v a_o bow_n or_o to_o shoot_v a_o arrow_n but_o to_o miss_v the_o mark_n no_o more_o will_v this_o be_v any_o let_v or_o
