B12021	An olde thrift nevvly reuiued VVherein is declared the manner of planting, preserving, and husbanding yong trees of diuers kindes for timber and fuell. And of sowing acornes, chesnuts, beech-mast, the seedes of elmes, ashen-keyes, &c. With the commodities and discommodities of inclosing decayed forrests, commons, and waste grounds. And also the vse of a small portable instrument for measuring of board, and the solid content and height of any tree standing. Discoursed in a dialogue betweene a surueyour, woodward, gentleman, and a farmer. Diuided into foure parts, by R.C.	Churche, Rooke.; R. C.

and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o there_o be_v also_o of_o this_o kind_a three_o sort_n and_o they_o be_v thus_o sort_n the_o elm_n tree_n of_o which_o be_v three_o sort_n know_v the_o first_o sort_n of_o they_o have_v a_o little_a leaf_n &_o a_o black_a stalk_n the_o second_o have_v somewhat_o a_o large_a leaf_n and_o a_o reasonable_a white_a stalk_n and_o the_o three_o have_v a_o more_o large_a and_o full_a leaf_n and_o a_o stalk_n more_o white_a the_o best_a of_o these_o to_o plant_n be_v the_o last_o and_o the_o second_o next_o and_o these_o will_v grow_v thick_a and_o tall_a in_o short_a time_n and_o bear_v long_a bough_n and_o the_o three_o sort_n be_v worst_a of_o all_o and_o will_v hardly_o grow_v to_o any_o reasonable_a tree_n and_o therefore_o not_o worth_a your_o labour_n of_o plant_v it_o and_o of_o these_o tree_n you_o may_v plant_v they_o three_o or_o four_o several_a way_n that_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n young_a plant_n and_o root_n with_o the_o young_a imp_n cut_v from_o the_o tree_n or_o root_n and_o also_o some_o do_v think_v they_o will_v grow_v well_o of_o stippe_n or_o branch_n cut_v from_o a_o young_a tree_n of_o three_o or_o

this_o seed_n you_o must_v do_v thus_o gather_v the_o seed_n before_o the_o tree_n be_v full_o cover_v with_o leaf_n which_o be_v about_o the_o middle_n of_o april_n at_o such_o time_n as_o it_o

prosper_v very_o well_o yet_o it_o be_v better_a to_o set_v plant_n of_o they_o as_o you_o do_v your_o oak_n for_o they_o will_v come_v up_o soon_o and_o prove_v more_o large_a of_o body_n and_o plentiful_a of_o bough_n even_o according_a as_o the_o soil_n be_v where_o they_o grow_v and_o to_o plant_v the_o root_n or_o imp_n of_o they_o cut_v from_o the_o tree_n or_o root_n you_o must_v lay_v they_o deep_a in_o good_a mould_n and_o they_o will_v prosper_v and_o plentiful_o come_v forth_o and_o grow_v to_o be_v high_a and_o taper_a tree_n by_o reason_n they_o have_v then_o still_o their_o
