in_o the_o river_n these_o be_v the_o most_o special_a bait_n for_o these_o kind_n of_o fish_n there_o be_v a_o manner_n of_o troll_a for_o a_o pike_n with_o a_o hazel-rod_n of_o twelve_o foot_n

to_o put_v in_o a_o wind_n to_o turn_v with_o a_o barrel_n to_o gather_v up_o the_o line_n and_o to_o loose_v it_o at_o pleasure_n this_o be_v the_o best_a manner_n of_o troll_a but_o i_o be_o of_o

to_o buoy_v up_o the_o fish_n and_o to_o carry_v it_o from_o the_o ground_n the_o bait_n must_v be_v a_o live_a fish_n either_o dace_n gudgin_n roach_n or_o a_o small_a trout_n the_o fork_a stick_n must_v have_v a_o slit_n in_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o fork_n to_o put_v in_o the_o line_n that_o he_o may_v set_v his_o live_a fish_n to_o swim_v at_o a_o gage_n that_o when_o the_o pike_n take_v the_o bait_n he_o may_v have_v the_o full_a liberty_n of_o the_o line_n for_o his_o feed_n he_o may_v turn_v these_o loose_a either_o in_o the_o pond_n or_o the_o river_n in_o the_o pond_n with_o the_o wind_n all_o the_o day_n long_o the_o more_o the_o better_o at_o night_n let_v he_o set_v some_o small_a weight_n that_o may_v stay_v the_o buoy_z as_o a_o ship_n lie_v at_o anchor_n till_o the_o fish_n take_v for_o the_o river_n he_o must_v turn_v all_o loose_a with_o the_o stream_n two_o or_o three_o be_v sufficient_a to_o show_v pleasure_n gage_v at_o such_o a_o depth_n as_o that_o they_o will_v go_v current_n down_o the_o river_n where_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o doubt_n of_o excellent_a sport_n if_o there_o be_v pike_n for_o the_o hook_n they_o must_v be_v double_a hook_n the_o shank_n must_v be_v somewhat_o short_a than_o ordinary_a my_o reason_n the_o short_a the_o hook_n be_v of_o the_o shank_n it_o will_v hurt_v the_o fish_n the_o less_o and_o it_o must_v be_v arm_v with_o small_a wire_n well_o soften_v but_o i_o hold_v a_o hook_n arm_v with_o twist_a silk_n to_o be_v better_o if_o you_o arm_v your_o hook_n with_o wyre_n the_o needle_n must_v be_v make_v with_o a_o eye_n then_o must_v he_o take_v one_o of_o those_o bait_n alive_a which_o he_o can_v get_v and_o with_o one_o of_o his_o needle_n enter_v within_o a_o straw_n breadth_n of_o the_o gill_n of_o the_o fish_n so_o pull_v the_o needle_n betwixt_o the_o skin_n and_o the_o fish_n then_o pull_v the_o needle_n out_o at_o the_o hindmost_a fin_n and_o draw_v the_o arm_n through_o the_o fish_n until_o the_o hook_n come_v to_o lie_v close_o to_o the_o fish_n body_n but_o i_o hold_v for_o those_o that_o be_v arm_v with_o wyre_n to_o take_v off_o the_o hook_n and_o put_v the_o needle_n in_o the_o hindmost_a fin_n and_o so_o to_o come_v out_o at_o the_o gill_n then_o let_v he_o put_v on_o the_o hook_n draw_v close_o to_o the_o body_n it_o will_v hurt_v the_o live_a fish_n the_o less_o so_o knit_v the_o arm_n with_o the_o live_a fish_n to_o the_o line_n then_o let_v he_o put_v off_o either_o in_o mere_a or_o pond_n with_o the_o wind_n in_o the_o river_n with_o the_o stream_n the_o more_o that_o he_o pull_v off_o in_o mere_a or_o pond_n he_o be_v the_o likely_a to_o have_v the_o great_a pleasure_n there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o pike_n go_v a_o frog_a ditch_n and_o in_o

the_o true_a use_n of_o the_o hand_n upon_o the_o bit_n one_o of_o the_o chief_a and_o only_o principal_a point_n of_o horsemanship_n first_o therefore_o when_o he_o ride_v with_o a_o wand_n let_v he_o take_v it_o very_o wary_o that_o the_o horse_n be_v not_o fright_v therewith_o and_o to_o ascertain_v the_o horse_n thereof_o present_o after_o he_o have_v receive_v it_o toy_n and_o scratch_v he_o about_o the_o neck_n with_o the_o end_n thereof_o and_o for_o the_o carry_v of_o it_o it_o must_v be_v carry_v in_o the_o right_a hand_n with_o the_o point_n upright_o and_o when_o that_o he_o must_v use_v it_o let_v the_o point_n fall_v close_o unto_o he_o as_o occasion_n shall_v require_v but_o in_o his_o management_n of_o it_o let_v he_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o right_a thigh_n

point_n right_o forth_o on_o the_o right_a side_n against_o his_o eye_n and_o as_o he_o change_v turn_n so_o let_v he_o change_v his_o rod_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o on_o the_o other_o but_o if_o his_o horse_n will_v not_o turn_v on_o the_o side_n he_o will_v have_v he_o let_v he_o strike_v he_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n and_o when_o he_o be_v any_o way_n disorder_v let_v he_o carry_v his_o

he_o lighten_v behind_o strike_v he_o on_o the_o rump_n and_o haunch_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o wand_n as_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v now_o for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o bit_n which_o be_v a_o instrument_n only_o guide_v and_o direct_v by_o the_o hand_n and_o because_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o art_n of_o ride_v depend_v only_o upon_o the_o right_a use_n and_o true_a

he_o first_o bite_v his_o horse_n withal_o be_v gentle_a and_o pleasant_a yet_o so_o that_o the_o gentleness_n cause_v he_o not_o to_o despise_v the_o rider_n nor_o the_o hardness_n drive_v he_o to_o
