B12021	An olde thrift nevvly reuiued VVherein is declared the manner of planting, preserving, and husbanding yong trees of diuers kindes for timber and fuell. And of sowing acornes, chesnuts, beech-mast, the seedes of elmes, ashen-keyes, &c. With the commodities and discommodities of inclosing decayed forrests, commons, and waste grounds. And also the vse of a small portable instrument for measuring of board, and the solid content and height of any tree standing.

tree_n except_o they_o have_v store_n of_o moisture_n tree_n water_n tree_n will_v hardly_o grow_v to_o any_o goodness_n and_o the_o chief_a of_o those_o tree_n that_o most_o desire_n to_o grow_v in_o

reason_n perhaps_o may_v be_v of_o the_o not_o well_o husband_v they_o at_o the_o first_o in_o which_o great_a care_n must_v be_v use_v yet_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v to_o be_v tree_n they_o be_v then_o sufficient_o able_a to_o endure_v all_o hardness_n but_o be_v set_v either_o of_o the_o plant_n or_o seed_n they_o be_v then_o most_o choice_a and_o tender_a wood._n but_o i_o pray_v what_o course_n do_v you_o use_v in_o plant_v they_o and_o in_o what_o kind_n of_o ground_n sur._n the_o soil_n that_o chief_o these_o tree_n delight_v in_o be_v a_o sandy_a light_a and_o stony_a ground_n and_o will_v thrive_v very_o well_o upon_o mountain_n and_o in_o open_a airy_a place_n and_o they_o will_v grow_v soon_o &_o better_a of_o the_o kernel_n then_o of_o a_o young_a plant_n and_o you_o must_v lay_v the_o kernel_n in_o steep_a three_o or_o four_o day_n before_o you_o set_v or_o sow_v they_o and_o let_v the_o ground_n where_o you_o intend_v to_o sow_v they_o be_v as_o careful_o husband_v &_o till_v as_o you_o will_v do_v if_o you_o will_v sow_v wheat_n thereon_o &_o then_o put_v 6_o or_o 7_o of_o they_o into_o the_o earth_n in_o one_o hole_n together_o 4_o or_o 5_o finger_n deep_o &_o cover_v they_o light_o with_o loose_a earth_n and_o the_o best_a time_n to_o sow_v they_o be_v in_o october_n or_o november_n in_o warm_a hot_a or_o dry_a place_n &_o in_o cold_a and_o wet_a ground_n in_o february_n or_o march_n and_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v up_o to_o be_v young_a tree_n you_o must_v be_v very_o careful_a in_o remove_v any_o of_o they_o because_o it_o be_v long_o before_o they_o will_v settle_v and_o take_v root_n and_o they_o will_v hardly_o endure_v to_o be_v transplant_v without_o hurt_n and_o hindrance_n to_o their_o growth_n but_o yet_o when_o you_o do_v remove_v of_o they_o beware_v you_o do_v not_o bruise_v or_o break_v any_o of_o the_o root_n espcial_o the_o master-roote_n and_o it_o be_v think_v this_o tree_n will_v continue_v the_o long_o if_o the_o bark_n be_v now_o and_o then_o take_v from_o it_o because_o that_o under_o the_o bark_n worm_n do_v breed_v which_o do_v fret_v and_o destroy_v the_o tree_n and_o though_o you_o may_v think_v this_o disdourse_n of_o i_o to_o be_v more_o curious_a than_o necessary_a because_o there_o be_v excellent_a good_a law_n already_o enact_v for_o preserve_v the_o wood_n yet_o in_o respect_n there_o
