thick_a be_v strong_a and_o able_a to_o bear_v more_o as_o for_o the_o sea_n water_n it_o can_v be_v make_v more_o thick_a in_o winter_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o own_o heat_n which_o be_v the_o

be_v the_o cause_n that_o in_o winter_n the_o sea_n water_n be_v less_o bitter_a and_o brackish_a in_o taste_n for_o so_o by_o report_n write_v dionysus_n the_o great_a convaier_n of_o conduit_n who_o in_o a_o treatise_n of_o that_o argument_n say_v that_o the_o bitterness_n of_o the_o sea_n water_n be_v not_o without_o some_o sweetness_n see_v that_o the_o sea_n receive_v so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a river_n for_o admit_v that_o the_o sun_n do_v draw_v up_o that_o which_o be_v fresh_a and_o potable_a out_o of_o it_o because_o it_o be_v light_a and_o subtle_a that_o be_v but_o from_o the_o upper_a part_n only_o and_o withal_o it_o do_v more_o in_o summer_n than_o in_o any_o other_o season_n by_o reason_n that_o in_o winter_n his_o beam_n be_v not_o so_o strong_a to_o strike_v for_o that_o his_o heat_n likewise_o be_v but_o saint_n and_o feeble_a and_o so_o a_o good_a portion_n of_o the_o sweetness_n remain_v behind_o do_v delay_v that_o excessive_a bitterness_n and_o

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 their_o wine_n vessel_n among_o the_o wine_n and_o the_o common_a report_n go_v that_o there_o be_v sometime_o certain_a mariner_n and_o fisherman_n who_o bring_v with_o they_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 it_o be_v well_o soak_a and_o soften_v with_o moisture_n and_o therefore_o like_v better_a of_o a_o wet_a ground_n whereas_o the_o dry_a soil_n at_o the_o first_o sow_v agree_v better_a with_o barley_n and_o be_v more_o commodious_a for_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o more_o loose_a and_o spungeous_a kind_n of_o grain_n or_o because_o such_o a_o temperature_n of_o the_o ground_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o heat_n be_v more_o proportionable_a and_o less_o hurtful_a unto_o barley_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o cold_a grain_n or_o rather_o husbandman_n be_v afraid_a to_o land_n thrash_v their_o wheat_n upon_o a_o dry_a and_o sandy_a floor_n because_o of_o ãâã_d ant_n for_o soon_o will_v they_o take_v to_o that_o kind_n of_o grain_n in_o such_o a_o place_n as_o for_o barley_n they_o use_v less_o to_o bear_v it_o because_o the_o corn_n thereof_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v carry_v and_o recary_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o they_o be_v so_o big_a 17_o what_o be_v the_o cause_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 hair_n also_o be_v more_o strong_a than_o the_o female_a or_o rather_o for_o that_o they_o think_v the_o hair_n of_o mare_n tail_n drench_v and_o wet_a as_o it_o be_v ever_o and_o anon_o with_o their_o stall_n be_v more_o brittle_a and_o worse_a than_o the_o other_o 18_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o when_o the_o ãâã_d calamacie_n fish_n be_v see_v in_o the_o sea_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o great_a tempest_n be_v it_o because_o all_o soft_a and_o ãâã_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
