and_o prune_v vine_n many_o man_n begin_v this_o work_n immediate_o after_o vintage_n when_o the_o weather_n be_v warm_a and_o temperate_a but_o indeed_o by_o course_n of_o nature_n this_o shall_v never_o be_v do_v before_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o eagle_n star_n as_o we_o will_v more_o at_o large_a declare_v in_o the_o next_o book_n where_o we_o be_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o rise_n and_o fall_v of_o the_o fix_a star_n and_o of_o their_o influence_n or_o rather_o in_o truth_n when_o the_o western_a wind_n favonius_n begin_v to_o blow_v forasmuch_o as_o there_o may_v be_v danger_n in_o go_v over_o soon_o to_o work_v consider_v that_o haste_n common_o make_v waste_v for_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o there_o come_v a_o after-winter_n and_o chance_n to_o bite_v the_o vine_n new_o medicine_v as_o it_o be_v or_o rather_o fore_n with_o this_o prune_n if_o it_o happen_v i_o say_v that_o when_o every_o man_n make_v reckon_v that_o winter_n be_v go_v it_o come_v upon_o they_o again_o and_o whisk_n with_o his_o tail_n their_o bud_n pinch_v with_o cold_a will_v lose_v their_o vigour_n their_o wound_n will_v cleave_v and_o make_v rift_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o when_o the_o

there_o will_v not_o be_v such_o have_v make_v but_o here_o be_v the_o matter_n they_o that_o have_v a_o large_a domain_n and_o much_o land_n to_o look_v unto_o they_o that_o must_v go_v through_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o work_n can_v will_v nor_o choose_v but_o begin_v betimes_o and_o make_v this_o computation_n and_o reckon_n aforesaid_a and_o in_o one_o word_n the_o soon_o that_o vine_n be_v prune_v if_o the_o time_n will_v serve_v commodious_o the_o more_o they_o run_v into_o wood_n and_o leaf_n and_o contrariwise_o the_o late_a you_o go_v to_o work_v the_o more_o plenty_n of_o grape_n they_o will_v yield_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v and_o expedient_a to_o prune_v vine_n that_o be_v poor_a and_o feeble_a very_o timely_a but_o such_o as_o be_v strong_a and_o hardy_a last_o of_o all_o as_o for_o the_o manner_n and_o fashion_n of_o the_o cut_n it_o ought_v always_o to_o be_v aslant_a like_o a_o goat_n foot_n that_o no_o drop_n of_o rain_n may_v settle_v and_o rest_v thereupon_o but_o that_o every_o shower_n may_v soon_o shoot_v off_o also_o that_o it_o turn_v downward_o to_o the_o ground_n that_o it_o be_v even_o and_o smooth_a make_v with_o a_o keen_a and_o sharp_a edge_a bill_n or_o cut_a hook_n furthermore_o this_o heed_n will_v be_v take_v that_o the_o cut_v be_v just_a between_o two_o bud_n for_o fear_n of_o wound_v any_o of_o the_o oylet_n near_o unto_o that_o part_n which_o be_v cut_v off_o and_o common_o this_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v black_a and_o duskish_a and_o so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v so_o see_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v cut_v and_o cut_v again_o until_o you_o come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v sound_a and_o clear_a indeed_o for_o never_o shall_v you_o have_v out_o of_o a_o faulty_a and_o corrupt_a wood_n any_o thing_n come_v forth_o that_o will_v be_v worth_a aught_o if_o the_o vine_n be_v so_o poor_a and_o lean_a that_o it_o afford_v no_o branch_n meet_v and_o sufficient_a to_o bear_v cut_v it_o down_o to_o the_o very_a ground_n for_o best_a it_o be_v then_o to_o fetch_v new_a from_o the_o root_n and_o to_o see_v whether_o they_o will_v be_v more_o lively_a over_o and_o beside_o in_o disburgen_v and_o desoil_v a_o vine_n you_o must_v beware_v how_o you_o pluck_v off_o those_o burgeon_n that_o be_v like_a to_o bear_v the_o grape_n or_o to_o go_v with_o it_o for_o that_o be_v the_o next_o way_n to_o supplant_v as_o it_o be_v the_o grape_n â—…ea_n and_o kill_v the_o vine_n unless_o it_o be_v a_o new_a and_o young_a plant_n will_v you_o then_o know_v which_o be_v unprofitable_a and_o may_v be_v spare_v even_o all_o those_o be_v deem_v superfluous_a which_o be_v come_v not_o direct_o from_o the_o knot_n or_o near_o oilet_fw-la but_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o side_n and_o no_o marvel_n since_o that_o the_o very_a branch_n of_o grape_n which_o hang_v in_o this_o manner_n out_o of_o the_o hard_a wood_n be_v so_o stiff_a and_o tough_a also_o that_o unneath_o a_o man_n may_v pluck_v they_o off_o with_o his_o finger_n but_o have_v need_n of_o a_o knife_n or_o hook_n to_o cut_v they_o away_o as_o for_o the_o pitch_v of_o prop_n into_o the_o ground_n some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o set_v they_o between_o two_o vine_n and_o indeed_o that_o be_v the_o easy_a way_n to_o come_v about_o the_o vine_n for_o to_o lay_v their_o root_n bare_a when_o time_n serve_v also_o better_o it_o be_v far_o so_o to_o do_v in_o a_o vineyard_n where_o the_o vine_n run_v upon_o one_o single_a trail_n in_o case_n the_o say_a trail_n be_v strong_a enough_o and_o the_o vineyard_n not_o subject_a to_o the_o danger_n of_o wind_n but_o where_o a_o vine_n run_v four_o way_n it_o must_v be_v relieve_v with_o prop_n and_o stay_v as_o near_o as_o may_v be_v to_o support_v the_o burden_n yet_o so_o as_o they_o be_v no_o hindrance_n when_o as_o man_n shall_v come_v about_o the_o foot_n to_o lay_v the_o root_n bare_a and_o therefore_o they_o will_v be_v a_o cubit_n off_o and_o no_o more_o moreover_o this_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o a_o vine_n be_v cleanse_v about_o the_o root_n beneath_o before_o that_o it_o be_v prune_v above_o cato_n treat_v general_o of_o all_o

but_o take_v heed_n you_o bind_v it_o not_o too_o hard_o dress_n and_o order_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n after_o you_o have_v cut_v away_o the_o tip_n and_o top_n thereof_o dig_v round_o about_o
