some_o admirable_a woad-land_n in_o they_o but_o when_o it_o be_v a_o quick_a commodity_n as_o now_o it_o be_v dull_a they_o will_v find_v as_o much_o more_o land_n as_o now_o they_o will_v and_o then_o more_o indifferent_a dry_a sound_a warm_a land_n will_v serve_v but_o very_o dry_a and_o sound_v it_o must_v be_v and_o worth_a about_o twenty_o shilling_n a_o acre_n to_o graze_v at_o least_o or_o else_o it_o will_v not_o be_v worth_a the_o woad_n and_o to_o plough_v to_o sow_v woad_n it_o may_v be_v worth_a as_o much_o more_o as_o to_o graze_v woad-land_n yea_o somewhat_o more_o if_o it_o be_v extraordinary_a rich_a soil_n and_o trade_v good_a but_o now_o as_o the_o season_n be_v and_o trade_v stand_v they_o will_v now_o make_v great_a ort_n of_o land_n and_o not_o bid_v any_o money_n for_o that_o which_o in_o good_a trade_n time_n they_o will_v have_v go_v fifty_o mile_n to_o have_v take_v at_o great_a rate_n and_o whereas_o some_o write_v that_o it_o undo_v the_o land_n i_o answer_v as_o i_o judge_v in_o my_o own_o breast_n that_o in_o regard_n it_o be_v so_o often_o cut_v and_o grow_v so_o thick_a and_o be_v so_o often_o weed_n that_o it_o must_v needs_o do_v so_o as_o i_o believe_v all_o corn_n do_v draw_v forth_o some_o of_o the_o spirit_n thereof_o but_o no_o more_o than_o other_o grain_n will_v if_o it_o can_v be_v so_o oft_o cut_v up_o to_o grow_v again_o but_o it_o be_v the_o confidence_n of_o many_o woad-man_n that_o will_v maintain_v against_o any_o man_n that_o it_o better_v the_o land_n and_o mend_v it_o but_o to_o that_o i_o can_v accord_v neither_o but_o thus_o much_o i_o do_v say_v it_o prepare_v the_o land_n exceed_o for_o corn_n corn_n and_o do_v a_o bate_n of_o the_o strength_n and_o superrichness_n or_o rankness_n thereof_o which_o corn_n will_v not_o well_o endure_v for_o i_o maintain_v still_o that_o the_o rich_a land_n be_v not_o best_o to_o corn_n for_o though_o the_o one_o may_v overburthen_n and_o be_v so_o rank_a corn._n yet_o the_o other_o may_v bear_v as_o much_o to_o the_o strike_v and_o for_o goodness_n your_o middle_a land_n bear_v the_o bell_n away_o for_o corn_n in_o my_o opinion_n very_o much_o may_v be_v speak_v to_o this_o particular_a but_o i_o must_v shorten_v and_o will_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v and_o acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o use_n thereof_o and_o herein_o i_o must_v do_v these_o three_o or_o four_o thing_n 1._o show_v you_o how_o the_o land_n must_v be_v prepare_v and_o sow_v 2._o show_v you_o how_o it_o must_v be_v order_v when_o the_o leaf_n must_v be_v cut_v and_o how_o order_v after_o cut_v 3._o and_o last_o how_o it_o must_v be_v temper_v and_o season_v to_o make_v the_o best_a woad_n for_o use_n and_o profit_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v i_o must_v inform_v my_o reader_n that_o this_o commodity_n can_v not_o be_v play_v withal_o as_o you_o may_v do_v with_o liquorish_a and_o saffron_n etc._n etc._n to_o make_v experiment_n of_o a_o little_a parcel_n but_o a_o man_n must_v of_o necessity_n set_v forth_o and_o forward_o so_o much_o stock_n and_o land_n and_o seed_n as_o may_v keep_v one_o mill_n or_o two_o at_o work_n to_o make_v it_o into_o perfect_a woad_n it_o be_v the_o do_v of_o a_o great_a quantity_n and_o carry_v on_o a_o great_a stock_n that_o make_v this_o work_n and_o will_v carry_v it_o on_o to_o profit_n and_o credit_n some_o have_v as_o much_o underhand_o and_o will_v work_v six_o or_o eight_o mill_n the_o charge_n of_o it_o be_v exceed_o great_a in_o the_o mannagement_n of_o it_o and_o as_o well_o it_o pay_v for_o all_o charge_n as_o any_o commodity_n i_o know_v of_o that_o be_v of_o old_a experience_n the_o ground_n must_v be_v old_a land_n as_o aforesaid_a plough_v and_o a_o tender_a turf_n and_o must_v be_v exceed_o choice_o plough_v if_o very_o hilly_a they_o must_v be_v cast_v and_o well_o cast_v that_o that_o you_o cast_v forth_o lie_v not_o high_a to_o raise_v the_o furrow_n they_o usual_o plough_v outward_a or_o cast_v all_o their_o land_n at_o the_o first_o plough_v and_o have_v break_v the_o ground_n with_o a_o harrow_n than_o they_o sow_v it_o and_o sow_v about_o four_o bushel_n or_o strike_v of_o a_o acre_n acre_n which_o do_v then_o cover_v it_o and_o harrow_v it_o very_o well_o and_o fine_a and_o pick_v of_o all_o the_o clots_n turvees_n and_o stone_n and_o lay_v in_o the_o hollow_a place_n of_o the_o ridge_n on_o heap_n as_o be_v the_o usual_a custom_n but_o now_o i_o shall_v rather_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n than_o i_o conceive_v choose_v to_o take_v a_o little_a cart_n with_o one_o horse_n and_o as_o the_o boy_n or_o child_n pick_v they_o up_o cast_v they_o into_o the_o cart_n and_o carry_v they_o into_o some_o flank_n or_o hollow_a place_n and_o lay_v they_o down_o to_o rot_v or_o else_o mend_v some_o barren_a place_n because_o they_o lose_v a_o good_a considerable_a part_n of_o land_n and_o so_o of_o oad_o too_o which_o otherwise_o may_v be_v as_o good_a as_o the_o rest_n and_o be_v now_o worth_a nothing_o the_o land_n that_o be_v lose_v be_v very_o considerable_a in_o regard_n it_o be_v so_o good_a of_o itself_o and_o the_o stock_n so_o good_a and_o rich_a that_o be_v sow_v upon_o it_o that_o all_o even_a ground_n have_v need_n be_v regain_v that_o possible_o may_v be_v and_o so_o i_o descend_v to_o the_o second_o particular_a 2._o which_o be_v to_o show_v how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v husbandried_a and_o when_o the_o leaf_n must_v be_v cut_v and_o how_o use_v and_o how_o oft_o etc._n etc._n after_o the_o land_n be_v sow_v and_o it_o begin_v to_o come_v up_o as_o
