for_o you_o to_o fish_n with_o but_o if_o you_o will_v have_v they_o keep_v long_o then_o get_v any_o great_a earthen_a pot_n or_o barrel_n of_o three_o or_o four_o gallon_n which_o be_v better_o

themselves_o and_o be_v always_o ready_a for_o use_v whensoever_o you_o incline_v to_o fish_v and_o these_o gentle_n may_v be_v thus_o make_v till_o after_o michaelmas_n but_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o keep_v gentle_n to_o fish_n with_o all_o the_o year_n then_o get_v a_o dead_a cat_n or_o a_o kite_n and_o let_v it_o be_v fly-blown_a and_o when_o the_o gentle_n begin_v to_o be_v alive_a and_o to_o stir_v then_o bury_v it_o and_o they_o in_o moist_a earth_n but_o as_o free_a from_o frost_n as_o you_o can_v and_o these_o you_o may_v dig_v up_o at_o any_o time_n when_o you_o intend_v to_o use_v
