heart_n with_o their_o poor_a cattle_n and_o themselves_o i_o shall_v not_o only_o think_v my_o labour_n happy_o bestow_v in_o writing_n but_o all_o the_o poor_a people_n may_v thank_v god_n as_o

the_o other_o three_o quarter_n save_v at_o seed_n time_n come_v to_o some_o six_o quarter_n of_o corn_n at_o forty_o shilling_n a_o quarter_n twelve_o pound_n as_o it_o be_v now_o worth_a in_o many_o country_n which_o will_v defray_v the_o charge_n of_o set_v double_a though_o your_o plowman_n follow_v their_o teem_v &_o give_v we_o no_o help_n and_o yet_o this_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o in_o

of_o atheism_n thus_o we_o all_o must_v believe_v and_o so_o i_o hope_v we_o do_v unless_o there_o be_v any_o of_o so_o desperate_a and_o curse_a opinion_n that_o think_v there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o

of_o the_o land_n and_o time_n so_o well_o gain_v to_o do_v all_o this_o and_o serve_v god_n too_o be_v like_a to_o bring_v a_o good_a increase_n there_o be_v in_o every_o ear_n certain_a abortive_a or_o bastardlie_a corn_n small_a and_o whinderling_n which_o will_v hardly_o grow_v and_o be_v unprofitable_a for_o any_o good_a increase_n but_o there_o be_v other_o corn_n which_o be_v big_a and_o fair_a than_o the_o rest_n which_o no_o doubt_n god_n by_o nature_n have_v ordain_v for_o good_a and_o great_a increase_n and_o therefore_o see_v you_o have_v so_o much_o leisure_n you_o may_v spend_v more_o time_n in_o pick_v your_o seed_n corn_n after_o corn_n if_o you_o think_v good_a seed_n the_o best_a way_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o your_o seed_n but_o indeed_o the_o best_a way_n and_o most_o speedy_a be_v to_o put_v the_o corn_n into_o a_o tub_n of_o water_n and_o so_o the_o most_o heavy_a corn_n will_v soon_o sink_v to_o the_o bottom_n and_o the_o light_a with_o other_o seed_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v sow_v you_o may_v take_v present_o away_o for_o else_o in_o a_o small_a time_n the_o light_a will_n also_o sink_v by_o take_v water_n to_o make_v it_o heavy_a also_o but_o you_o must_v do_v this_o but_o a_o little_a before_o you_o intend_v to_o sow_v it_o and_o in_o do_v whereof_o you_o may_v help_v your_o seed_n corn_n very_o much_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o dung_v as_o i_o myself_o have_v do_v my_o seed_n barley_n when_o the_o year_n have_v prove_v dry_a at_o barley_n seed_n time_n i_o have_v cause_v certain_a wot_v fat_n or_o tub_n use_v for_o malt_v to_o be_v fill_v

the_o better_o with_o often_o stir_v it_o then_o have_v i_o let_v or_o pour_v out_o the_o same_o water_n from_o the_o dung_n and_o put_v it_o into_o other_o clean_a vessel_n and_o then_o i_o put_v in_o my_o seed_n all_o day_n and_o all_o night_n and_o the_o next_o day_n take_v it_o out_o and_o lay_v it_o upon_o a_o floor_n to_o dry_v it_o fit_a to_o handle_v and_o cast_v abroad_o by_o sow_v and_o true_o that_o barley_n have_v shoot_v a_o ear_n as_o soon_o as_o other_o that_o be_v sow_v some_o fourteen_o day_n before_o it_o whereof_o in_o my_o opinion_n one_o great_a commodity_n do_v follow_v in_o that_o the_o corn_n special_o barley_n at_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n come_v away_o so_o speedy_o that_o it_o out_o grow_v all_o the_o weed_n who_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o deadly_a enemy_n to_o all_o corn_n thus_o the_o corn_n may_v flourish_v and_o be_v master_n of_o the_o field_n like_o a_o brave_a captain_n for_o so_o no_o doubt_n he_o get_v better_a root_n to_o

to_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o good_a wife_n and_o her_o maid_n and_o child_n at_o home_n and_o our_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o day_n that_o we_o spare_v from_o plough_v as_o aforesaid_a yet_o give_v
