of_o your_o seed_n you_o get_v nothing_o except_o the_o corn_n be_v very_o well_o sell_v you_o know_v well_o that_o a_o acre_n of_o land_n which_o be_v sow_v with_o wheat_n will_v have_v three_o

and_o it_o behoove_v to_o sow_v upon_o every_o acre_n two_o bushel_n at_o the_o least_o and_o these_o two_o bushel_n be_v at_o the_o least_o worth_n at_o michaelmas_n twelve_o penny_n and_o the_o

the_o most_o when_o you_o cause_n dungue_n to_o be_v keep_v with_o good_a earth_n cause_n your_o dunguehil_n to_o be_v dress_v &_o mingle_v with_o the_o dungue_n and_o cause_v every_o fortenight_n

your_o dungue_n to_o be_v heap_v together_o which_o be_v in_o the_o stable_n in_o the_o yard_n and_o without_o and_o when_o you_o mind_n to_o dungue_n your_o ground_n and_o the_o same_o to_o carry_v you_o must_v have_v a_o man_n who_o you_o trust_v well_o that_o be_v faithful_a unto_o you_o to_o follow_v your_o cart_n the_o first_o day_n and_o if_o he_o see_v that_o they_o do_v their_o work_n without_o feign_v see_v at_o the_o journey_n end_n how_o much_o they_o have_v do_v and_o let_v they_o answer_v so_o much_o every_o day_n except_o they_o may_v show_v some_o certain_a let_v your_o dungue_n which_o be_v mingle_v with_o earth_n you_o shall_v put_v upon_o sandy_a ground_n if_o you_o have_v any_o the_o cause_n wherefore_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o the_o summer_n time_n be_v hot_a and_o the_o dungue_n hot_a and_o when_o the_o three_o heat_n be_v assemble_v to_o they_o by_o the_o great_a heat_n they_o do_v wither_v away_o after_o midsummer_n day_n the_o barley_n do_v grow_v in_o a_o sandy_a ground_n as_o you_o may_v well_o see_v where_o you_o go_v in_o many_o place_n on_o the_o evening_n the_o land_n which_o be_v mingle_v with_o dungue_n cause_v the_o sand_n to_o wax_v cold_a and_o raise_v up_o dew_n and_o therefore_o that_o your_o land_n that_o be_v sow_v may_v bring_v forth_o the_o more_o dungue_n they_o and_o till_o they_o not_o too_o deep_a because_o that_o the_o dungue_n be_v mar_v in_o turn_v in_o too_o deep_a how_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o advantage_n you_o shall_v have_v by_o the_o straw_n which_o be_v mingle_v with_o the_o earth_n if_o the_o dungue_n be_v but_o itself_o it_o may_v last_v three_o year_n or_o there_o abouts_o according_a as_o the_o land_n be_v either_o cold_a or_o hot_a the_o dungue_n which_o be_v mingle_v with_o earth_n do_v last_o the_o double_a but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o quick_a you_o know_v well_o that_o the_o marvel_n last_v more_o than_o straw_n why_o so_o because_o that_o the_o dungue_n waste_v in_o turn_v it_o deep_a into_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o marvel_n in_o turn_v of_o it_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o why_o do_v the_o dungue_n mingle_v with_o earth_n last_v long_o than_o the_o pure_a dungue_n i_o will_v tell_v it_o to_o you_o the_o dungue_n and_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v till_v together_o susteyn_v the_o straw_n that_o it_o waste_v not_o in_o the_o turn_n in_o though_o it_o shall_v waste_v natural_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o to_o cause_n dungue_n to_o be_v keep_v according_a to_o the_o ability_n and_o your_o dungue_n which_o be_v scatter_v and_o somewhat_o moisten_v be_v in_o season_n good_a to_o be_v turn_v for_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o dungue_n shall_v then_o take_v the_o better_a together_o and_o if_o you_o put_v your_o dungue_n upon_o fallows_n it_o

time_n it_o shall_v be_v turn_v the_o more_o upon_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o less_o mingle_v with_o the_o ground_n and_o that_o be_v not_o approve_v and_o the_o near_o the_o dungue_n be_v to_o the_o seed_n it_o be_v better_a at_o the_o feast_n of_o our_o lady_n first_o cause_n to_o fatten_v your_o dungue_n according_a as_o you_o have_v of_o sheep_n either_o more_o or_o less_o for_o they_o do_v in_o that_o season_n cast_v much_o fatten_n make_v once_o in_o the_o year_n your_o provision_n draw_v btwéene_n easter_n and_o whitsunday_n to_o wit_n your_o ox_n and_o kine_n and_o other_o cattle_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v let_v they_o be_v put_v to_o fatten_v to_o grass_n and_o you_o shall_v gain_v and_o know_v the_o certainty_n that_o then_o the_o worst_a be_v better_a worth_n than_o the_o best_a how_o i_o will_v tell_v it_o you_o if_o they_o be_v cattle_n for_o burden_n they_o must_v be_v keep_v better_a than_o the_o other_o and_o more_o make_v of_o else_o the_o other_o be_v the_o more_o grieve_a by_o their_o default_n and_o if_o you_o must_v buy_v any_o store_n buy_v it_o between_o easter_n and_o whirsuntide_n for_o then_o be_v cattle_n lean_a and_o good_a cheap_a and_o before_o your_o horse_n be_v too_o old_a or_o tire_v or_o lean_a or_o of_o small_a valour_n you_o may_v sell_v they_o away_o in_o due_a season_n and_o then_o may_v you_o relieve_v yourself_o with_o good_a and_o young_a how_o store_n shall_v be_v keep_v it_o be_v good_a you_o shall_v know_v it_o to_o make_v your_o seruamnt_n wise_a for_o when_o they_o shall_v see_v that_o you_o know_v it_o they_o shall_v indevor_n to_o be_v the_o better_a the_o cattle_n for_o the_o plough_n must_v have_v pasture_n sufficient_a to_o do_v their_o work_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o labour_v too_o much_o under_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o manger_n for_o you_o shall_v bestow_v too_o much_o cost_v to_o restore_v they_o and_o so_o your_o gain_n shall_v be_v diminish_v put_v they_o in_o no_o house_n in_o rainy_a weather_n for_o surfeit_v may_v come_v betwixt_o the_o hair_n and_o the_o skin_n which_o turn_v to_o the_o great_a damage_n of_o your_o cattle_n and_o if_o your_o cattle_n have_v their_o ordinary_a provender_n let_v it_o be_v give_v to_o they_o by_o day_n light_n at_z the_o sight_n of_o the_o hayward_a or_o of_o the_o provost_n &_o mingle_v it_o with_o a_o little_a straw_n of_o wheat_n or_o of_o oat_n and_o not_o of_o barley_n straw_n because_o barley_n straw_n have_v too_o many_o beard_n which_o will_v offend_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o horse_n and_o why_o do_v you_o say_v so_o by_o proof_n of_o the_o straw_n i_o will_v tell_v it_o you_o because_o it_o happen_v often_o that_o thief_n do_v steal_v their_o provender_n and_o the_o horse_n do_v eat_v straw_n better_o than_o the_o provender_n and_o do_v fatten_v and_o do_v become_v better_o and_o let_v not_o much_o fodder_n be_v give_v to_o the_o ox_n at_o once_o but_o little_a at_o once_o and_o often_o and_o then_o they_o eat_v it_o well_o and_o waste_v little_a of_o it_o and_o when_o there_o be_v great_a quantity_n before_o they_o they_o do_v
shift_v their_o foot_n the_o plough_n of_o ox_n be_v far_o better_a than_o the_o plough_n of_o horse_n the_o cause_n why_o i_o will_v tell_v it_o you_o the_o horse_n do_v cost_v more_o than_o the_o ox_n beside_o that_o the_o plough_n of_o ox_n be_v so_o much_o worth_n by_o the_o year_n as_o the_o plough_n of_o horse_n because_o that_o the_o naughtiness_n of_o ploughman_n suffer_v not_o the_o horse_n to_o go_v more_o than_o their_o pace_n beside_o the_o same_o for_o the_o staying_n the_o plough_n of_o horse_n shall_v stay_v when_o the_o plough_n of_o ox_n shall_v go_v on_o and_o will_v you_o see_v how_o much_o the_o horse_n co_v more_o than_o the_o ox_n the_o same_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v always_o accustom_a that_o those_o beast_n which_o do_v serve_v about_o the_o plough_n do_v lie_n in_o at_o the_o manger_n betwixt_o saint_n luke_n feast_n &_o holy_a crosse-feast_n in_o may_n during_o twenty_o five_o week_n and_o yet_o the_o horse_n must_v be_v well_o keep_v to_o do_v his_o day_n journey_n he_o must_v have_v oat_n by_o night_n the_o sixth_o part_n of_o a_o bushel_n of_o oat_n esteem_v at_o a_o halfpenny_n he_o must_v have_v at_o the_o laest_n twelve_o

twelve_o burden_n of_o grass_n rate_v at_o two_o shilling_n and_o one_o penny_n beside_o fodder_n and_o straw_n and_o ten_o sheaf_n of_o oat_n do_v answer_v a_o bushel_n of_o oat_n heap_v measure_n and_o when_o the_o horse_n be_v old_a and_o tire_a then_o be_v there_o in_o he_o nothing_o good_a but_o the_o skin_n and_o when_o the_o ox_n be_v old_a with_o twelve_o burden_n of_o grass_n he_o will_v be_v worth_a be_v fat_v or_o be_v sell_v so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v cost_v you_o first_o or_o more_o in_o break_v time_n be_v a_o good_a season_n for_o the_o ploughman_n if_o the_o ground_n break_v after_o the_o plough_n and_o the_o fallow_n after_o midsummer_n day_n it_o be_v best_o for_o he_o when_o the_o dust_n do_v rise_v after_o the_o plough_n and_o in_o the_o ear_n &_o sow_v time_n when_o the_o land_n be_v settle_v and_o be_v not_o too_o close_o but_o he_o that_o have_v much_o to_o do_v can_v not_o have_v all_o the_o good_a season_n and_o when_o you_o do_v break_v deep_a any_o good_a land_n then_o must_v you_o square_a furrow_n for_o to_o have_v good_a rest_a land_n but_o prick_v it_o not_o to_o deep_o but_o spare_o only_o do_v so_o that_o you_o may_v destroy_v the_o
