can_v give_v a_o very_a marshal_n mr._n marshal_n good_a account_n of_o their_o original_a feeding_n and_o also_o mr._n moriney_a in_o paris_n have_v a_o large_a book_n of_o the_o same_o subject_n but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o purpose_n i_o say_v that_o we_o have_v silkworm_n first_o from_o persia_n in_o justinian_n time_n about_o 1000_o or_o 1100._o year_n ago_o some_o monk_n present_v a_o few_o to_o he_o at_o constantinople_n where_o in_o his_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o plant_v mulberry_n from_o thence_o it_o come_v to_o italy_n about_o 3._o or_o 400._o year_n since_o for_o the_o ancient_a writer_n of_o husbandry_n as_o cato_n pallad_n columell_n do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v these_o creature_n and_o at_o length_n these_o have_v pass_v over_o the_o mountain_n into_o france_n within_o a_o 100_o year_n where_o they_o flourish_v so_o much_o that_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v their_o own_o author_n they_o bring_v great_a profit_n than_o the_o wine_n and_o corn_n of_o that_o large_a country_n i_o know_v that_o france_n have_v silk_n enough_o to_o maintain_v their_o excess_n of_o apparel_n and_o to_o export_v plush_n velvet_n etc._n etc._n now_o than_o if_o that_o these_o worm_n can_v thrive_v not_o only_o in_o the_o parch_a persia_n but_o also_o in_o greece_n italy_n yea_o in_o france_n which_o differ_v not_o much_o from_o the_o temper_n of_o england_n why_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o they_o be_v confine_v to_o that_o place_n &_o must_v move_v no_o far_o northward_o for_o they_o have_v come_v many_o 100_o mile_n towards_o the_o north_n why_o not_o one_o 100_o or_o 2._o more_o &_o further_o we_o see_v that_o mulberry_n which_o be_v their_o food_n thrive_v here_o as_o well_o as_o in_o anyplace_n but_o some_o will_v object_v that_o our_o air_n be_v too_o cold_a and_o moist_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o those_o who_o write_v of_o silk-worme_n say_v that_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o you_o make_v not_o the_o place_n too_o hot_a for_o too_o much_o heat_n may_v destroy_v and_o therefore_o that_o you_o must_v set_v the_o window_n open_a to_o let_v in_o the_o cold_a air_n 2._o we_o know_v that_o moistness_n of_o air_n rather_o increase_v such_o infect_v and_o nourish_v they_o indeed_o if_o moisture_n hurt_v it_o be_v because_o that_o it_o too_o much_o corrupt_v their_o food_n and_o cause_v a_o flux_n among_o they_o but_o this_o easy_o be_v prevent_v as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o anon_o but_o to_o be_v short_a it_o be_v not_o only_o my_o opinion_n that_o silkworm_n will_v thrive_v here_o but_o the_o solid_a judgement_n of_o king_n james_n and_o his_o council_n confirm_v the_o same_o as_o you_o may_v see_v by_o his_o letter_n to_o the_o deputy-lieutenant_n of_o every_o county_n wherein_o also_o many_o weighty_a reason_n be_v contain_v to_o convince_v man_n of_o the_o same_o which_o letter_n follow_v anon_o last_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o silkworm_n will_v thrive_v here_o and_o therefore_o the_o matter_n be_v out_o of_o question_n for_o divers_a lady_n gentlewoman_n scholar_n citizen_n etc._n etc._n have_v nurse_v up_o divers_a worm_n to_o perfection_n though_o they_o have_v have_v little_a skill_n in_o the_o manage_n of_o they_o and_o likewise_o not_o such_o accommodation_n as_o be_v necessary_a for_o they_o and_o more_o will_v they_o have_v do_v if_o they_o can_v have_v have_v mulberry-leaves_a i_o be_o inform_v that_o one_o near_o charingcross_a make_v a_o good_a live_n by_o they_o as_o also_o another_o by_o ratliffe-crosse_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o can_v bring_v up_o a_o 100_o why_o not_o a_o 1000_o yea_o 100000._o if_o we_o have_v 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 and_o further_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o order_n of_o this_o worm_n be_v very_o easy_a none_o need_v to_o be_v bind_v prentice_n to_o the_o trade_n the_o special_a business_n be_v to_o be_v careful_a in_o feed_v they_o and_o keep_v they_o sweet_a which_o thing_n child_n use_v to_o do_v he_o that_o will_v learn_v this_o art_n exact_o let_v he_o read_v boneil_n or_o a_o author_n w._n s._n print_v 1609._o about_o mulberry_n and_o sell_v in_o paul_n churchyard_n by_o eleaz_n edgar_n but_o because_o that_o the_o book_n be_v out_o of_o print_n i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o few_o rule_n first_o endeavour_n to_o get_v store_n of_o mulberry-tree_n which_o be_v of_o 2._o sort_n the_o white_a and_o the_o black_a the_o white_a grow_v great_a and_o have_v a_o fine_a leaf_n and_o sweet_a and_o therefore_o fit_a for_o the_o young_a worm_n this_o be_v easy_o propagate_v by_o slip_v as_o quince_n codling_n the_o black_a mulberry_n be_v difficult_o propagate_v by_o slip_v but_o 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

to_o be_v the_o best_a for_o this_o country_n when_o the_o mulberry-tree_n begin_v to_o bud_n take_v the_o egg_n of_o your_o silkworm_n and_o lay_v they_o on_o a_o piece_n of_o stuff_n or_o say_v
