give_v milk_n abundant_o and_o then_o after_o the_o first_o cut_n let_v it_o grow_v for_o seed_n and_o herein_o you_o must_v be_v careful_a that_o you_o let_v it_o grow_v till_o it_o be_v full_a

unless_o it_o be_v for_o fire_v in_o a_o dear_a country_n so_o that_o the_o seed_n must_v be_v the_o advance_v of_o that_o crop_n only_o and_o so_o it_o may_v well_o enough_o and_o you_o may_v have_v

july_n or_o august_n as_o best_o to_o cut_v for_o seed_n because_o some_o year_n and_o land_n will_v ripen_v it_o soon_o than_o other_o will_n therefore_o have_v respect_n to_o thy_o seed_n and_o straw_n according_a to_o the_o former_a direction_n but_o when_o you_o be_v to_o go_v into_o good_a seed_n you_o must_v graze_v it_o upon_o the_o land_n and_o then_o be_v sure_a not_o to_o let_v it_o grow_v too_o rank_a and_o high_a but_o if_o the_o stalk_n grow_v big_a cattle_n will_v balk_v it_o and_o stain_v it_o more_o and_o it_o will_v not_o eat_v up_o so_o kind_o at_o first_o nor_o graze_v so_o even_o afterward_o but_o exceed_v much_o milk_n it_o will_v yield_v and_o feed_v and_o nourish_v very_o well_o but_o to_o affirm_v as_o some_o have_v do_v and_o do_v confident_o to_o this_o day_n that_o it_o will_v grow_v on_o the_o barren_a ground_n that_o be_v as_o on_o windsor_n forrest_n i_o dare_v not_o i_o have_v know_v that_o it_o have_v fail_v and_o i_o be_o confident_a must_v

of_o itself_o and_o this_o be_v all_o that_o be_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o discourse_n of_o brabant_n husbandry_n exceed_v barren_a land_n but_o well_o dung_v and_o till_v and_o then_o clover_v not_o that_o it_o be_v the_o barren_a land_n but_o the_o good_a and_o costly_a husbandry_n only_o the_o oldness_n of_o the_o land_n and_o the_o restiness_n thereof_o yield_v more_o spirit_n to_o the_o grain_n or_o clover_n by_o far_o than_o the_o tillable_n land_n well_o husband_v and_o lay_v down_o with_o clover_n will_v do_v very_o well_o also_o the_o quantity_n of_o seed_n for_o a_o acre_n as_o i_o conceive_v will_v be_v a_o gallon_n or_o nine_o or_o ten_o pound_n though_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n less_o will_v serve_v turn_n therefore_o as_o i_o say_v before_o i_o say_v your_o old_a land_n be_v it_o course_n or_o rich_a as_o it_o be_v or_o have_v be_v disuse_v from_o tillage_n long_o be_v best_a for_o corn_n so_o also_o it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o certain_a land_n for_o clover_n and_o when_o you_o have_v corn_v your_o land_n as_o much_o as_o you_o intend_v then_o to_o alter_v it_o to_o clover_n be_v the_o proper_a season_n this_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o whatsoever_o land_n be_v neither_o too_o rank_a or_o fat_a for_o any_o sort_n of_o corn_n be_v not_o too_o good_a to_o clover_n and_o you_o shall_v always_o find_v it_o to_o

lie_v pelt_a and_o moil_a upon_o poor_a mean_a land_n unfatn_v by_o some_o soil_n or_o other_o therefore_o i_o advise_v every_o man_n to_o plough_v up_o no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v well_o overcome_v by_o his_o purse_n and_o husbandry_n and_o let_v the_o rest_n lie_v till_o he_o have_v bring_v up_o the_o other_o and_o then_o as_o he_o have_v raise_v one_o part_n take_v up_o another_o and_o lay_v down_o that_o to_o graze_v either_o with_o clover_n or_o otherwise_o and_o let_v he_o take_v heed_n that_o flatter_v himself_o to_o raise_v good_a clover_n upon_o barren_a heathy_a land_n otherwise_o then_o aforesaid_a let_v he_o take_v notice_n he_o will_v pull_v down_o his_o plume_n after_o two_o or_o three_o year_n experience_n unless_o he_o devise_v a_o new_a way_n of_o husbandary_n as_o to_o the_o annual_a profit_n that_o may_v accrue_v thereby_o i_o shall_v a_o little_a differ_v from_o the_o flanders_n husbandry_n but_o shall_v affirm_v that_o one_o acre_n after_o the_o corn_n be_v cut_v the_o very_a next_o year_n if_o it_o be_v well_o husband_v and_o kind_a thick_a clover_n may_v be_v worth_a twenty_o mark_n or_o twenty_o pound_n and_o so_o downward_o as_o it_o degenerate_v weak_a less_o worth_a in_o brabant_n they_o speak_v of_o keep_v four_o cow_n winter_n and_o summer_n some_o cut_n and_o lay_v up_o for_o fodder_n other_o cut_v and_o eat_v green_a but_o i_o have_v credible_o

enough_o upon_o such_o land_n as_o never_o keep_v one_o but_o i_o conceive_v best_a for_o we_o until_o we_o come_v into_o a_o stock_n of_o seed_n to_o mow_v the_o first_o crop_n in_o the_o midst_n or_o end_n of_o may_n and_o to_o lay_v that_o up_o for_o hay_o although_o it_o will_v go_v very_o near_o together_o yet_o if_o it_o grow_v not_o too_o strong_a it_o will_v be_v exceed_o good_a and_o rich_a and_o feed_v any_o thing_n and_o reserve_v the_o next_o for_o seed_n and_o if_o we_o can_v bring_v it_o up_o to_o perfect_a seed_n if_o it_o but_o yield_v four_o bushel_n upon_o a_o acre_n it_o will_v amount_v to_o more_o than_o i_o speak_v of_o by_o far_o every_o bushel_n be_v worth_a three_o or_o four_o pound_n a_o bushel_n and_o then_o after_o the_o math_n or_o eadish_n that_o year_n
