then_o venture_v the_o experiment_n of_o so_o great_a a_o work_n upon_o word_n and_o rule_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a woad_n and_o let_v you_o know_v that_o good_a woad_n may_v

in_o good_a heart_n &_o strength_n till_o sow_v time_n again_o the_o time_n of_o sow_v be_v in_o the_o middle_n and_o end_n of_o march._n and_o thus_o when_o you_o have_v cut_v all_o your_o crop_n

&_o sometime_o you_o must_v be_v content_a with_o three_o &_o as_o the_o first_o crop_n be_v usual_o in_o a_o good_a kind_a year_n ripe_a by_o the_o midst_n of_o june_n so_o will_v the_o second_o be_v

than_o you_o may_v expect_v a_o crop_n the_o more_o now_o to_o know_v when_o the_o woad_n be_v ripe_a ripe_a and_o to_o take_v it_o in_o the_o very_a season_n be_v a_o fundamental_a piece_n which_o
