they_o be_v take_v out_o of_o their_o fruit_n they_o prepare_v the_o soil_n towards_o the_o south_n well_o dig_v and_o dung_v and_o plant_v they_o the_o small_a end_n upward_o two_o inch_n deep_a in_o

you_o be_v then_o to_o take_v out_o the_o seed_n and_o dry_v they_o in_o the_o shade_n and_o you_o may_v keep_v they_o till_o february_n follow_v or_o march_n to_o sow_v they_o then_o must_v you_o

to_o sow_v they_o assoon_o as_o they_o be_v take_v out_o of_o their_o fruit_n for_o they_o come_v forth_o of_o the_o earth_n the_o soon_o and_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o graft_v they_o because_o the_o fruit_n that_o proceed_v of_o they_o otherwise_o be_v not_o so_o good_a it_o be_v also_o good_a that_o all_o the_o seed_n and_o stone_n here_o beforenamed_a be_v plant_v and_o sow_v at_o the_o first_o

mingle_v therewith_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o wood_n and_o then_o gather_v the_o ash_n thereof_o but_o the_o best_a be_v that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o white_a vine_n branch_n after_o that_o put_v fair_a water_n and_o those_o ash_n in_o a_o cawldron_n upon_o the_o fire_n and_o seethe_v they_o together_o till_o you_o have_v make_v a_o clear_a liquor_n then_o take_v away_o all_o the_o ash_n put_v

the_o liquor_n into_o a_o clean_a cawldron_n again_o and_o set_v it_o over_o the_o fire_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o seethe_v then_o must_v you_o take_v rod_n of_o wood_n such_o as_o chandler_n use_n whereupon_o they_o set_v and_o make_v their_o candle_n upon_o which_o rod_n you_o must_v tie_v the_o bunch_n all_o along_o one_o bunch_n of_o grape_n on_o one_o side_n the_o rod_n and_o on_o the_o

another_o and_o wet_v it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o set_v it_o by_o and_o do_v so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n then_o hang_v they_o up_o in_o the_o sun_n or_o else_o spread_v they_o upon_o

this_o steep_v they_o even_o as_o they_o come_v from_o the_o vine_n 17._o how_o to_o dry_a figs._n first_o gather_v they_o very_o ripe_a and_o have_v make_v ready_a hurdle_n or_o lattice_n of_o reed_n or_o of_o osier_n join_v together_o as_o osier_n lattice_n use_v to_o be_v with_o light_n or_o cliff_n between_o osier_n and_o osier_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o air_n pass_v through_o the_o rift_n &_o void_a space_n of_o they_o may_v help_v the_o sun_n to_o dry_v they_o up_o when_o they_o be_v spread_v upon_o the_o say_a lattice_n table_n and_o take_v heed_n that_o neither_o the_o rain_n nor_o the_o due_a fall_n upon_o they_o also_o you_o may_v dry_v they_o in_o this_o manner_n first_o take_v a_o big_a reed_n or_o cane_n of_o two_o or_o three_o foot_n long_o and_o bear_v little_a hole_n all_o the_o length_n of_o it_o through_o which_o hole_n you_o be_v to_o put_v little_a stick_n very_o sharp_a of_o two_o foot_n long_o then_o thread_n the_o fig_n upon_o the_o little_a stick_n till_o they_o be_v very_o full_a of_o they_o then_o hang_v the_o cane_n in_o the_o sun_n and_o when_o they_o be_v dry_a barrel_n they_o press_v they_o very_o hard_o in_o the_o barrel_n as_o we_o say_v of_o grape_n 18._o how_o to_o dry_a peach_n of_o all_o kind_n and_o apricock_n when_o they_o be_v very_o ripe_a than_o you_o must_v pare_v off_o the_o upper_a skin_n and_o cleave_v they_o into_o four_o

you_o must_v provide_v a_o clean_a earthen_a pot_n and_o after_o you_o have_v wash_v your_o peach_n in_o fair_a water_n than_o put_v they_o into_o the_o pot_n and_o put_v in_o as_o much_o wine_n as_o will_v cover_v the_o peach_n and_o then_o seethe_v they_o half_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n also_o they_o may_v be_v make_v ready_a another_o way_n without_o boil_v they_o by_o put_v they_o in_o wine_n and_o soak_v they_o three_o or_o four_o day_n and_o this_o way_n they_o be_v better_o also_o you_o may_v put_v in_o some_o cinnamom_n in_o powder_n in_o this_o manner_n you_o may_v keep_v they_o one_o month_n within_o the_o say_a pot_n use_v they_o every_o morning_n they_o provoke_v a_o appetite_n or_o good_a stomach_n and_o be_v very_o wholesome_a 19_o how_o to_o hinder_v wild_a
