lime_v in_o very_o plentiful_a manner_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o your_o provision_n will_v extend_v for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o barren_a and_o hard_a earth_n can_v never_o be_v overload_v with_o good_a manure_n or_o compass_n since_o it_o be_v only_o the_o want_n of_o warmth_n and_o fatness_n which_o manure_n breed_v that_o cause_v all_o manner_n of_o unfruitfulnesse_n after_o you_o have_v thus_o meanure_v all_o your_o ground_n it_o be_v labour_n to_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n will_v be_v well_o shoot_v on_o for_o the_o labour_n of_o sanding_n will_v take_v little_o less_o than_o two_o month_n your_o ground_n be_v of_o any_o indifferent_a great_a quantity_n except_o you_o have_v the_o assistance_n and_o help_n of_o many_o of_o your_o friend_n which_o be_v a_o courtesy_n that_o every_o husbandman_n may_v embrace_v but_o not_o trust_v unto_o for_o i_o will_v not_o wish_v any_o man_n that_o have_v not_o tenant_n to_o command_v to_o presume_v on_o other_o friend_n lest_o they_o fail_v he_o and_o so_o his_o work_n lie_v half_o do_v half_o undo_v which_o be_v a_o great_a character_n of_o negligence_n and_o improvidence_n but_o let_v every_o one_o proportion_n their_o labour_n according_a to_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o the_o number_n of_o their_o ordinary_a family_n the_o lyme_v of_o your_o ground_n will_v take_v at_o least_o half_a so_o much_o time_n as_o the_o sanding_n and_o the_o meanure_v rather_o more_o than_o less_o than_o the_o lyme_v so_o that_o by_o any_o reasonable_a computation_n of_o time_n begin_v to_o blow_n your_o ground_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o may_n ere_o it_o be_v hack_v sand_v lime_v and_o meanured_a michaelmas_n will_v be_v come_v which_o be_v the_o last_o of_o september_n for_o i_o
