food_o there_o be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o oatmeal_n but_o these_o shall_v be_v at_o this_o time_n full_o sufficient_a the_o next_o grain_n to_o this_o i_o account_v barley_n which_o may_v use_n be_v every_o way_n use_v like_a unto_o wheat_n either_o to_o make_v gruel_n to_o be_v crey_v parch_a or_o boil_a and_o of_o barley_n for_o this_o purpyse_v of_o food_n the_o best_a be_v french_a barley_n the_o next_o be_v barley_n big_a or_o bear_v barley_n and_o the_o worst_a be_v the_o spi●…ke_n or_o battledore_n barley_n and_o our_o common_a english_a barley_n and_o as_o barley_n or_o wheat_n so_o you_o may_v use_v you_o buck_n use_n and_o your_o indian_a silligo_n for_o they_o be_v of_o like_a nature_n only_o ask_v a_o long_a time_n in_o their_o beat_n steep_v and_o boil_a because_o they_o be_v natural_o more_o hard_a &_o more_o dry_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o climate_n in_o which_o the_o best_a grow_v and_o it_o be_v ever_o to_o be_v observe_v for_o a_o rule_n that_o the_o dry_a you_o keep_v your_o corn_n at_o sea_n the_o better_a it_o be_v the_o sweet_a and_o long_o last_v now_o have_v show_v the_o use_n of_o these_o light_a grain_n use_n i_o will_v come_v to_o pulse_n and_o show_v their_o use_n and_o benefit_n at_o the_o sea_n or_o in_o besiege_a town_n and_o of_o pulse_n i_o will_v first_o speak_v of_o bean_n as_o a_o principal_a food_n wholesome_a and_o strong_a and_o though_o not_o so_o fine_a and_o light_n of_o digestion_n as_o any_o of_o the_o former_a yet_o exceed_v hearty_a and_o sound_a &_o a_o great_a breeder_n of_o good_a blood_n they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n to_o be_v boil_a whole_a till_o such_o time_n as_o they_o appear_v soft_a and_o tender_a or_o begin_v to_o break_v and_o then_o drain_v from_o the_o water_n be_v serve_v in_o tray_n and_o well_o salt_v and_o so_o eat_v a_o pottell_n whereof_o be_v think_v a_o full_a proportion_n for_o four_o man_n and_o of_o these_o bean_n there_o be_v diverse_a bean_n kind_n as_o the_o common_a garden_n beane_n or_o french_a bean_n which_o be_v great_a broad_a and_o flat_a and_o these_o be_v the_o best_a to_o boil_v either_o with_o meat_n or_o by_o themselves_o and_o ask_v the_o least_o labour_n because_o their_o outer_a skin_n be_v most_o tender_a and_o the_o inward_a substance_n most_o apt_a to_o be_v mollify_v and_o soften_v they_o may_v also_o be_v boil_v both_o when_o they_o be_v young_a and_o green_a and_o when_o they_o be_v old_a and_o dry_a and_o the_o meat_n at_o both_o time_n be_v good_a and_o savoury_a the_o next_o bean_n to_o these_o be_v the_o kidney_n bean_n which_o beane_n be_v flatter_v and_o lesser_a and_o near_o the_o proportion_n of_o a_o kidney_n then_o the_o french_a beane_n be_v and_o this_o be_v also_o a_o garden_n bean_n and_o while_o it_o be_v young_a &_o green_a be_v to_o be_v eat_v salad_n wise_a after_o they_o be_v boil_v both_o the_o cod_n and_o bean_n together_o and_o it_o be_v certain_a a_o better_a salad_n can_v be_v taste_v for_o the_o cod_n or_o husk_n be_v every_o way_n as_o excellent_a in_o taste_n as_o the_o bean_n be_v but_o after_o they_o grow_v old_a and_o dry_a and_o that_o the_o moisture_n be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o cod_n than_o it_o be_v meet_v to_o thrash_v they_o and_o then_o boil_v they_o like_o the_o french_a bean_n and_o they_o be_v every_o way_n as_o good_a meat_n and_o as_o soon_o boil_v and_o as_o tender_v the_o next_o bean_n to_o these_o be_v your_o common_a and_o ordinary_a theuse_v field_n bean_n which_o have_v tough_a and_o hard_a skin_n ask_v more_o boil_a than_o the_o other_o bean_n &_o be_v somewhat_o hard_o in_o taste_n yet_o a_o good_a sow_v food_n also_o there_o be_v many_o that_o parche_v they_o in_o the_o fire_n and_o think_v they_o then_o the_o best_a meat_n because_o the_o fire_n soon_o break_v the_o skin_n and_o soften_v the_o kernel_n but_o they_o can_v be_v do_v so_o abundant_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o use_n after_o this_o great_a sort_n of_o pulse_n i_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o use_n small_a sort_n as_o pease_n and_o their_o like_a and_o of_o pease_n there_o betwo_a kind_n the_o garden_n pease_n and_o the_o field_n pease_n and_o for_o this_o use_n albeit_o both_o be_v good_a yet_o the_o garden_n pease_n be_v best_a for_o they_o be_v soon_o boil_v be_v
