least_o sow_v always_o under-furrow_n about_o michaelmas_n with_o two_o bushel_n and_o a_o half_a upon_o the_o acre_n which_o it_o will_v better_o carry_v then_o the_o haisell_n ground_n for_o

grow_v on_o this_o sort_n of_o ground_n until_o that_o the_o heat_n thereof_o be_v somewhat_o assuage_v by_o the_o marl_n if_o your_o ground_n be_v hilly_a make_v your_o water-furrowe_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o for_o the_o save_v both_o of_o your_o marl_n &_o mould_n harrow_v it_o very_o little_a leave_v it_o as_o cloddy_a as_o you_o may_v after_o that_o you_o have_v take_v a_o crop_n from_o it_o fallow_a that_o wheat_n gratten_n or_o stubble_n in_o may_n after_o that_o stir_v it_o also_o and_o then_o about_o michaelmas_n sow_v it_o with_o wheat_n again_o for_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o rich_a enough_o to_o bear_v you_o good_a pease_n this_o do_v let_v it_o rest_v four_o or_o five_o year_n and_o if_o it_o send_v up_o any_o plenty_n of_o broome_n cut_v or_o pull_v they_o when_o they_o be_v of_o some_o mean_a bigness_n but_o plough_v not_o the_o ground_n until_o it_o have_v take_v such_o rest_n and_o after_o it_o you_o may_v well_o break_v it_o up_o of_o new_a and_o sow_v it_o with_o oat_n which_o oat_n gratten_n or_o stubble_n you_o must_v summer-fallow_a when_o it_o be_v at_o the_o harvest_n and_o than_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o have_v it_o in_o good_a heart_n you_o must_v marvel_v it_o with_o three_o hundred_o or_o four_o hundred_o load_n upon_o the_o acre_n again_o after_o this_o crop_n thus_o take_v rest_v it_o five_o or_o six_o year_n and_o then_o take_v one_o crop_n more_o of_o oat_n from_o it_o and_o after_o a_o summer-fallow_a sow_v it_o with_o wheat_n and_o suffer_v it_o to_o lie_v a_o wheat_n gratten_n or_o stubble_n till_o it_o shall_v have_v rest_v as_o before_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o haisell_n ground_n and_o so_o will_v it_o be_v the_o better_a thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n after_o the_o marling_n we_o have_v in_o this_o weald_n a_o sandy_a and_o gravel_o ground_n that_o be_v wet_a and_o weep_a the_o which_o be_v scarce_o worth_a the_o marling_n except_o the_o nearness_n of_o the_o marl_n and_o thereby_o the_o small_a cost_n and_o charge_n thereof_o may_v entice_v a_o man_n to_o bestow_v the_o cost_n upon_o it_o with_o marle_n and_o then_o the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o marvel_v upon_o the_o green_a land_n or_o upon_o a_o fallow_a with_o five_o hundred_o load_n or_o more_o upon_o the_o acre_n or_o rather_o to_o take_v the_o profit_n thereof_o by_o pasture_n then_o by_o tillage_n for_o it_o will_v hardly_o bear_v good_a corn_n which_o be_v soon_o kill_v with_o the_o wet_a vapour_n that_o be_v continual_o send_v up_o from_o the_o wet_a spring_n that_o lie_v under_o it_o this_o sort_n of_o ground_n be_v to_o be_v fallowed_a when_o it_o be_v both_o hard_a and_o dry_a because_o it_o swell_v not_o as_o do_v the_o haisell_n mould_n and_o may_v therefore_o be_v take_v in_o june_n if_o former_a fair_a weather_n bring_v it_o not_o to_o a_o dry_a season_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v stir_v also_o after_o a_o shower_n in_o the_o like_a plight_n as_o the_o haisell_n mould_v before_o your_o marleable_a ground_n be_v order_v in_o this_o wise_a several_o set_v down_o for_o each_o kind_n of_o they_o will_v continual_o stand_v fruitful_a either_o for_o corn_n or_o pasture_n and_o albeit_o the_o high_a price_n which_o corn_n have_v of_o late_a year_n carry_v may_v allure_v some_o man_n to_o sow_v corn_n incessant_o and_o thereby_o to_o spend_v their_o marl_n and_o to_o choke_v their_o arable_a in_o the_o end_n yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o wise_a sort_n can_v see_v that_o it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o maintain_v their_o ground_n hearty_a and_o in_o good_a plight_n for_o ever_o then_o to_o raise_v a_o short_a gain_n that_o will_v bring_v a_o long_a &_o perpetual_a loss_n upon_o they_o the_o rather_o also_o because_o that_o butter_n cheese_n and_o the_o flesh_n of_o beef_n and_o mutton_n be_v advance_v in_o price_n equal_o if_o not_o beyond_o wheat_n rye_n barley_n and_o the_o other_o grain_n howbeit_o a_o good_a husbandman_n will_v make_v his_o profit_n of_o they_o both_o for_o if_o he_o have_v one_o hundred_o or_o one_o hundred_o &_o twenty_o acre_n of_o this_o wealdish_a arable_a he_o will_v so_o marvel_v and_o manure_v they_o that_o divide_v his_o land_n into_o five_o or_o six_o equal_a part_n he_o may_v continual_o plough_v twenty_o or_o five_o and_o twenty_o acre_n for_o corn_n and_o yet_o lie_v to_o pasture_n the_o rest_n by_o turn_n so_o that_o by_o the_o help_n of_o his_o marl_n his_o land_n shall_v be_v continual_o rich_a and_o profitable_a both_o in_o the_o one_o and_o other_o of_o they_o and_o as_o thus_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o

that_o if_o you_o dig_v you_o shall_v find_v they_o dead_a in_o their_o hole_n another_o affirm_v that_o if_o you_o take_v brimstone_n and_o dank_a stink_a litter_n of_o horse_n and_o burn_v it_o in_o the_o hole_n or_o haunt_n of_o the_o moale_n it_o also_o will_v impoison_v they_o so_o as_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o will_v come_v out_o of_o their_o cave_n and_o lie_v dead_a upon_o the_o green_a

now_o there_o be_v not_o any_o of_o these_o medicine_n which_o can_v be_v disallow_v for_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o they_o will_v work_v the_o effect_n speak_v of_o if_o the_o mole_n
