which_o be_v all_o devour_v by_o the_o bird_n and_o beast_n now_o if_o such_o man_n as_o dwell_v there_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o gather_v some_o of_o they_o when_o they_o be_v ripe_a and_o

it_o as_o we_o have_v say_v and_o use_v it_o when_o you_o need_v i_o have_v oftentimes_o see_v such_o wine_n make_v reasonable_a good_a for_o the_o household_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v every_o man_n

where_o they_o please_v and_o they_o will_v bring_v forth_o the_o like_a fruit_n as_o the_o tree_n of_o which_o the_o stone_n be_v there_o be_v place_n in_o france_n as_o at_o paris_n where_o they_o

you_o may_v graft_v they_o one_o upon_o the_o other_o thereby_o to_o get_v the_o better_a fruit_n likewise_o you_o may_v

be_v such_o that_o it_o bring_v they_o forth_o without_o so_o much_o handy_a labour_n there_o their_o fruit_n be_v better_a and_o those_o man_n that_o will_v have_v some_o tree_n plant_v upon_o

fit_a to_o plant_v they_o in_o and_o to_o choose_v the_o very_o best_a of_o they_o you_o be_v to_o cull_v out_o such_o as_o have_v round_a leaf_n and_o not_o fork_v for_o both_o the_o fruit_n and_o the_o leaf_n of_o they_o be_v better_o than_o those_o of_o the_o other_o tree_n these_o five_o and_o twenty_o year_n i_o have_v see_v diverse_a country_n where_o they_o begin_v and_o afterward_o find_v it_o very_o profitable_a to_o plant_v mulberry_n tree_n about_o their_o ground_n in_o stead_n of_o hedge_n where_o they_o grow_v so_o speedy_o that_o the_o second_o year_n they_o may_v begin_v

mulberry_n tree_n in_o form_n of_o a_o thick_a hedge_n for_o to_o have_v the_o first_o young_a leaf_n for_o the_o worm_n new_o hatch_v you_o must_v make_v a_o ditch_n of_o a_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a
