food_n for_o they_o true_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a neither_o can_v i_o ever_o find_v one_o that_o can_v speak_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n against_o the_o business_n

must_v be_v raise_v from_o seed_n sow_v either_o at_o michaelmas_n when_o the_o mulberry_n be_v eat_v or_o keep_v in_o dry_a sand_n till_o the_o spring_n and_o then_o sow_v or_o how_o they_o in_o as_o other_o seed_n and_o stone_n and_o must_v be_v diligent_o weed_v this_o grow_v not_o to_o be_v so_o great_a a_o tree_n as_o the_o former_a the_o leaf_n be_v rough_a and_o harsh_a and_o fit_a for_o the_o worm_n when_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o ready_a to_o spin_v when_o your_o tree_n be_v grow_v to_o a_o good_a bigness_n you_o may_v plant_v they_o forth_o as_o be_v usual_o do_v for_o walk_n

of_o leaf_n at_o midsummer_n as_o at_o midwinter_n there_o be_v 2_o sort_n of_o silkworm_n the_o spanish_a and_o calabrian_a the_o spanish_a be_v the_o small_a and_o more_o tender_a and_o make_v a_o

when_o they_o have_v pass_v their_o second_o sickness_n feed_v they_o on_o shelf_n 2_o foot_n broad_a and_o 18_o inch_n one_o from_o another_o the_o room_n where_o you_o keep_v your_o worm_n must_v
