1500_o store_n now_o the_o best_a way_n to_o take_v this_o grand_a enemy_n to_o fish_n be_v thus_o have_v find_v out_o his_o haunt_n get_v three_o or_o four_o small_a roche_n or_o dace_n and_o have_v

to_o take_v all_o manner_n of_o small_a bird_n with_o birdlime_n in_o winter_n and_o especial_o in_o a_o snow_n all_o sort_n of_o small_a bird_n will_v begin_v to_o flock_v together_o as_o lark_n
