the_o same_o to_o the_o view_n of_o the_o well_o dispose_v reader_n who_o courteous_a acceptation_n hereof_o may_v one_o day_n peradventure_o wring_v from_o i_o some_o matter_n of_o high_a reach_n and_o far_a service_n then_o as_o yet_o i_o see_v either_o just_a cause_n to_o promise_v or_o reason_n to_o speak_v of_o and_o because_o in_o the_o treatise_n follow_v my_o author_n have_v range_v over_o all_o manner_n of_o tree_n plant_n root_n green_a pulse_n and_o herb_n out_o of_o which_o he_o may_v by_o any_o probability_n draw_v any_o kind_n of_o sustenance_n for_o the_o relief_n of_o man_n i_o will_v only_o content_v myself_o with_o the_o handle_n or_o preparation_n of_o some_o of_o these_o particular_n which_o be_v most_o plentiful_a in_o their_o quantity_n least_o offensive_a in_o their_o nature_n and_o most_o familiar_a with_o our_o soil_n and_o body_n so_o as_o their_o offensive_a taste_n be_v first_o remoove_v by_o art_n they_o may_v serve_v we_o in_o a_o far_o better_a manner_n and_o to_o our_o great_a like_n than_o now_o they_o do_v either_o for_o bread_n drink_n or_o food_n how_o to_o take_v away_o a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o rank_n and_o unsavourie_a taste_n of_o beanes_n pease_n beechmast_n chestnutte_n acorn_n veche_n and_o such_o like_a if_o this_o may_v in_o some_o good_a measure_n be_v perform_v than_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o the_o bulk_n and_o body_n of_o our_o meal_n and_o flower_n will_v be_v much_o increase_v and_o multiply_v at_o the_o least_o for_o the_o poor_a man_n table_n then_o receive_v my_o own_o experience_n therein_o boil_v your_o bean_n pease_n beech_n mast_n etc._n etc._n in_o fair_a water_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o please_v enough_o change_v your_o water_n again_o and_o at_o the_o second_o or_o three_o boil_v you_o shall_v find_v a_o strange_a alteration_n in_o taste_n for_o the_o water_n have_v suck_v out_o &_o imbibe_v the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o rankness_n then_o must_v you_o dry_v they_o and_o if_o you_o think_v good_a you_o may_v also_o hull_v they_o according_a to_o the_o manner_n set_v down_o hereafter_o in_o the_o abstract_n of_o anchora_fw-la famis_fw-la etc._n etc._n or_o else_o you_o may_v grind_v they_o unhul_v &_o then_o make_v bread_n thereof_o either_o simple_o of_o itself_o or_o with_o the_o addition_n of_o some_o three_o or_o four_o part_n of_o other_o wheat_n flower_n or_o else_o for_o better_a expedition_n at_o the_o least_o in_o drink_n if_o not_o in_o bread_n you_o may_v take_v the_o ground_n meal_n of_o they_o and_o infuse_v warm_a water_n thereon_o and_o as_o it_o begin_v to_o cool_v dreyne_v the_o same_o away_o and_o reinfuse_v fresh_a warm_a water_n till_o the_o taste_n please_v you_o then_o dry_a up_o the_o meal_n and_o make_v bread_n thereof_o either_o simple_o or_o compound_v as_o before_o and_o as_o concern_v the_o chestnut_n we_o have_v the_o experience_n of_o france_n therein_o already_o where_o in_o great_a abundance_n they_o be_v spend_v and_o consume_v in_o their_o usual_a bread_n in_o diverse_a part_n of_o that_o country_n the_o beech_n mast_n do_v yield_v a_o most_o sweet_a and_o delicate_a oil_n and_o every_o way_n comparable_a with_o the_o nut_n itself_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o it_o will_v make_v a_o excellent_a bread_n with_o a_o very_a small_a correction_n &_o if_o there_o may_v be_v some_o easy_a way_v or_o manner_n find_v out_o for_o the_o ready_a husking_a or_o hull_v of_o they_o which_o seem_v no_o matter_n of_o any_o great_a difficulty_n than_o i_o dare_v promise_v a_o most_o rich_a &_o plentiful_a oil_n of_o our_o own_o grow_v and_o serviceable_a for_o many_o necessary_a use_n but_o if_o notwithstanding_o my_o former_a preparation_n of_o bean_n pease_n etc._n etc._n the_o meal_n thereof_o do_v not_o yet_o content_v you_o then_o work_v it_o into_o paast_a with_o a_o liquor_n first_o strengthen_v with_o some_o bruise_a annis_n seed_n liquorice_n or_o sweet_a fennel_n seed_n or_o with_o the_o seed_n themselves_o incorporate_v in_o the_o paast_a or_o for_o the_o avoid_v of_o charge_n with_o pepperwort_n thime_n wintersavery_a penniroyal_a etc._n etc._n for_o if_o you_o can_v but_o deceive_v the_o taste_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o bread_n very_o hearty_a wholesome_a &_o nourish_v and_o whatsoever_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o bean_n pease_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v general_o understand_v of_o all_o other_o grain_n seed_n plant_n pulse_n root_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o which_o be_v serviceable_a for_o bread_n will_v be_v much_o more_o
