shall_v remain_v in_o the_o month_n aforesaid_a according_a as_o your_o plant_n be_v wax_v strong_a you_o may_v remove_v they_o either_o into_o the_o hedge_n of_o your_o field_n or_o into_o any_o

at_o the_o least_o but_o a_o month_n before_o you_o do_v remove_v they_o you_o must_v make_v the_o hole_n wherein_o you_o purpose_v to_o set_v they_o about_o four_o foot_n in_o breadth_n and_o so_o

to_o be_v hatch_v and_o how_o to_o order_v the_o worm_n that_o shall_v come_v of_o they_o when_o the_o leaf_n of_o mulberry_n tree_n begin_v a_o little_a to_o bud_v forth_o take_v the_o egg_n of_o your_o silkworm_n and_o lay_v they_o in_o a_o piece_n of_o say_v or_o such_o like_a stuff_n and_o in_o the_o day_n time_n carry_v they_o in_o some_o warm_a place_n about_o you_o in_o a_o little_a

piece_n of_o paper_n of_o the_o wideness_n of_o the_o say_a box_n &_o have_v cut_v it_o full_a of_o small_a hole_n lay_v in_o within_o the_o same_o upon_o the_o egg_n and_o upon_o that_o again_o some_o few_o mulberry_n leave_v to_o which_o the_o worm_n as_o they_o be_v hatch_v will_v continual_o come_v these_o leaf_n with_o the_o worm_n upon_o they_o you_o must_v still_o remove_v into_o other_o box_n lay_v fresh_a leaf_n aswell_o on_o those_o that_o be_v remoove_v as_o on_o the_o paper_n where_o the_o egg_n be_v and_o this_o be_v the_o course_n which_o must_v be_v due_o keep_v and_o observe_v until_o such_o time_n as_o all_o the_o worm_n be_v come_v forth_o of_o their_o shell_n still_o keep_v their_o box_n warm_a as_o aforesaid_a but_o no_o long_o about_o you_o but_o until_o the_o worm_n begin_v to_o come_v forthout_n of_o which_o box_n you_o may_v safe_o take_v they_o when_o once_o they_o have_v pass_v their_o second_o sickness_n and_o feed_v they_o upon_o shelf_n of_o two_o foot_n in_o breadth_n and_o eighteen_o inch_n one_o above_o the_o other_o as_o in_o this_o figure_n follow_v be_v express_v the_o say_v shelf_n be_v not_o to_o be_v place_n in_o any_o

give_v they_o either_o heat_n or_o air_n according_a as_o the_o time_n &_o season_n shall_v require_v beside_o you_o must_v not_o make_v they_o close_o unto_o the_o wall_n but_o so_o as_o you_o may_v pass_v about_o they_o the_o better_a to_o look_v unto_o the_o worm_n &_o keep_v they_o from_o rat_n &_o mouse_n
